Mos Def

Say my name say my name because you know the deal
Only rapper spitting that fire and yet I'm colder still
Mixing up the rhythm embodied by what I'm holding here
Every other word that I utters considered overkill
I'm just holding court in the place that they says a long shot
Started off with spitting at tables over a beatbox
Giving you the hustle and flow that them niggas fiend about
Now you want to give me a reason the let then bomb drop
I been on my grizzly so long that they think I'm G now
Looking at them niggas they really got to be senile
Y'all the mother fuckers that honestly need the eval
Because I'm just being me with a real sticker for decal
I'm only breaking bad because I think that shit is awesome
Turn the other cheek is where they mother fucking lost me
Into retaliation even though it may cost me
Because that will turn me into the nigga they never cross son

Yeah
You know I stick to my guns
I keep a hollow in the chamber for the ignorant ones
I got a hammer that is heavy so it stays in the trunk
And that is only coming out for the belligerent ones
I never meant to be so rude but it just happened like that
Never meant to go so hard but I'm just rapping like that
Got a lady that is willing so the madam on deck
Never meant to be a player I just got it like that
Damn

Am I really that good
I'm thinking everything is happening the way that it should
I figured life out like a puzzle like a thinking man would
And this was all around the time that I was up to no good
See I was late night Loften
Hoods own orphan
But cool with the moves I could groove quite often
Looking like a player that could do not awful
With raps that attack and leave fools in coffins

This is retro waves
I got the feeling of a rapper in his retro days
I wasn't privy to the block but yet I'm still ok
Think I'm a sucker in your eyes and yet I still get paid
There's not a curve that you could throw that would causing me to trip up
Nothing you could do that would be causing me to slip up
Everything you say I see as just a minor hiccup
And that's the reason I'm seeing the money steady pick up
Grinding nigga

You should probably keep in mind my nigga
The reason you lacking and falling behind
Every mountain that I see I know I'll conquer in time
So I ain't scared of not a thing that could be coming around
So if you think that you can take me then you better come on
Because I been really doing work and I been murdering songs
I'm doing magic in this bitch like I was Merlin at home
Lets get it on
Just take notice that this Atoms the Bomb
