"So respect the architect" -> Biz Markie (cut 3X) "So respect the architect, as I begin to build" [Bahamadia] I'm mystical, don't be deceived by the visual Visible preference is pure, patent it back to metaphors Greetin em Illa-del-style wild Analyze my memoirs, runnin on 8/4, poetic, me-ter soarin way beyond iambic pentameter, or juvenile flam Unsyncopated soul piercin earlobes and egos my vocals read these thoughts - am I hardcore? To the grain [Guru] Lame game plain Jane MC's can't approach these I shake chumps like fleas, I hold the keys to drive you, guide you, provide you with the real joints, ahem I clear my throat of phlegm The architect, selecting the blueprints to rid the game of nuisance Sucker reducin with the fusion Rhymes solid like cement in my musical solution Stackin concrete flows, look out below "So respect the architect" -> Biz Markie (cut 2X) "as I begin to build" [Guru] Rhymes get all up in your grill like freckles Most MC's couldn't see me, with bi-focal spectacles There's no protectin you, with realness, I'm wreckin you I'm beggin you, take a look into the cypher You're dirt on my windshield, so I'm turnin on my wipers And I can see clearly now no other rapper is near me And all you perpetrators, shall fear me now [Bahamadia] Never flip folklores, only realness coincide with the rhythm like I did with +Total Wreck+ Respect the Architect in this division Rhymes written to be hittin like anti-proton collisions Rap newest edition, bringin the feminine in renditions in, rare form, defined as optimal for my pedigrees in skill three like three-sixty degrees as in well-rounded Leavin the competition dumb-founded For when I catch wreck, I astound "So respect the architect" -> Biz Markie (cut 3X) "So respect the architect... as I begin to build" [Guru] Floor to ceiling, constantly building with power to construct, towers of rap CREAM kid, what?
