Synthesize
I'm the turtle beat the hare in the race without a master splinter
Even though he was a master sprinter
See it's not just gold that shines and glitters
That's how it goes when you come across a master spitter
Kick wisdom in resonance with the kick drum
Spit dumb flows that'll grip they soul
So they listen close when that script unfold
On the scripture of old and the stories untold
Don't slow, keep the pace
Don't trip dont fall, steeplechase
MC synthesize what the people say
Give 'em guidance don't lie don't lead 'em astray
That's exactly the style that's needed today
While the fascists keep snatchin' our freedom away
And the moderates is sellin' our souls to the state
And our niggas tryna eat but it's slow for today
Whats the word yo? What's the message
Storyteller 'posed to teach you a lesson
And what's the angle? what's the reference
Spittin' raps that could bring out the best us
Whats the word yo? What's the message
Storyteller 'posed to teach you a lesson
And what's the angle? what's the reference
Spittin' raps that could bring out the best us
I'm confessin'
It's times im not too sure about the message
Like what's really the essence
Of tryna kick knowledge like professor
Do i even know what im professin
If the money start comin would i spit for profession
Or the fame or the clout or a little recognition
From the same rap crowds to whom i often listen
Put in that position would i veer from the mission
Of tryna put truth and my heart in my writtens
Maybe im trippin hope i stay solid and
Even if i pivot hope the money won't call it
I am not a wallet can't fold for a dollar
Imma speak truth that's word to my momma
And i learned to trust the word of my partners
If nobody else then i know we got us
Yea, truth is we gods and all of us keep stories on us
Whats the word yo? What's the message
Storyteller 'posed to teach you a lesson
And what's the angle? what's the reference
Spittin' raps that could bring out the best us
Whats the word yo? What's the message
Storyteller 'posed to teach you a lesson
And what's the angle? what's the reference
Spittin' raps that could bring out the best us
Artists are the gatekeepers of truth
And only through the world of the arts do we know
Who and what we are and our history and civilization
'Cause long before historians and long
Before people ascribed themselves as the
Caretakers of life and culture
Uh, the song did that
It was our--and in the Black community-it was our primary tool of communication
So I saw the song as having something far more
Even though he was a master sprinter
See it's not just gold that shines and glitters
That's how it goes when you come across a master spitter
Kick wisdom in resonance with the kick drum
Spit dumb flows that'll grip they soul
So they listen close when that script unfold
On the scripture of old and the stories untold
Don't slow, keep the pace
Don't trip dont fall, steeplechase
