K-otic - The Word lyrics

rate me

With this mic in my right hand

I can reshape the face of the world

And shift sands

Child, woman, and man stand on command

Communicating with others across foreign lands

Understand

The Word can bring wisdom to a fool

A destructive weapon

Or constructive tool

The words that I speak

Can give power to the weak

Courage to the meek

Hope to the bleak

The power

To combine with minds of many kinds

Whether written or recited

Or spoken within a rhyme

In time

The way my very life is defined

Crossing over cultural and economical lines

The ability to break barriers

Break bread

Break ground

Break it up

Break it down

Words can contact

And impact with sound

Make contracts with verbs

And attack with nouns

What's the word

People all around stay bound

By the Word

Spoken in tongues

Or even sung

What's the Word

Communicate from state to state

With the Word

Live by the Word

Die by the Word

Every match is like a Royal Rumble

Every man for himself

With every step I take

I'm gaining more health

Ain't no good MCs left

Cause their minds ain't right

Wanna get a record deal

But can't deal with the MIC

Camouflage couldn't hide you

From these words I serve

Check the pulse

Rappers ain't got the heart or nerve

Realize

Looking at fraud guys through God's eyes

Utilize the mind

As the guiding light through lies

Specialize in the rhyme, dialects, and beats

Enemy crews unite

But can't compete

Nor defeat

Anything like this

My likeness is priceless

The two nicest on mic devices

Is me and D

Weak MCs

Yo, we're training 'em

On the other side of tracks

In cells bangin' 'em

My words stimulate the nerves in your cranium

They want the gold and platinum plaques

We want uranium

I flip the game

To make the players think I'm playing 'em

My people think I'm evil

Cause I rhyme with Damien

K-otix Universal is law

Leave 'em open-jawed

Cause the words I say is raw

Many with the power

Abuse it

Many with the power know not how to use it (Word)

I can make a living

Or bring death

Initiate a change

Every time I take a step

What's left

If there were no word at all

See, societies would crumble

Causing cities to fall

Even though we speak in various tongues and dialects

With the Word

We connect in universal respect

Check Check

Bringing attention to the ignored

Comprehension to whatever wasn't mentioned before

I can illustrate a clear idea with metaphor

A mere syllable will have you feeling for more (Word)

Plus the meanings even change with the trends

Little words with four letters

Often seem to offend

What I say

Can provoke war

Or invoke peace

When I'm speaking through a mic

It's like my power's increased
