Alchemist you know me man
I'm the type of ? that write rhymes right on the spot in the studio
soon as I hear the track; you know what I'm sayin?
Word but I wanted to bring a couple of books to the studio today
Man I foundthese ? up in the crib man in boxes man
I don't even remember when I was writing these ?
or what's in these ? man probably a bunch of ? man
? it check it
How can I trust you when I can't trust me?
Picture myself a old man a O.G.
Some ? will conversate with liers all day
Time pass...(Nah lemme start somethin' else)
Soul on ice death threats given by clowns
I guess livin' is prison when you live around clowns
I'm hexed cursed worse I been blessed first
I thought I was abnormal cause I would overcome any tasked called to
So there it is I'ma prince I'ma get slain
Some do minor ? swear they on the top of they game
Ya rhymin' is called "? Monologue"
It kinda supports theories of scary ? who should lie in the morgue
Rarely y'all come in contact with the real
Since Pun passed he was the last shine of sun I could feel
Yo said there's a few left since music's expressions of life
Damn I wish I took more time to write in my book of rhymes
Oh ? Tina - I been lookin' for this ? number damn.
No this rhyme is weak..
This is week I remember this ? right here
(My Book of Rhymes)
Gandhi was a... what the fu..?
Gandhi was a fool, ? fight to the death
The US Army is a school that teach ya plights of conquest
(I wonder when I wrote this. Nah it's weak)
The money's ya religion sky the limit live life
Numbers is big business makes the poor live trife
The glimmers of hope provoke those without dollars to dream
Through your existence become wealthy knowledge is king
Pimps and card sharks thiefs murderers with hard luck
Addicts and fiends prostitutes passin' for teens is my society
Cops that shoot blacks is routine for noteriety
Grow up watchin' well dressed ? with charms
Beautiful ladies on their arms
Dangerous new cars was my fantasy for Nas
Rubbin my lips with Campophenique
Still behind the ears wet turned out to be
Pioneers vets amongst hustlers ? sellers and liers and squares...
(Nah that was weak there)
My people be projects or jail never Harvard or Yale
Pardon me type in my 2way while I'm chargin' my cell
It's hard to be iced up with Gucci ? poverty's real
I can't fight you cause you would sue me ? be groupies
I see imitators tryin' to make albums spittin' my style
And they don't even realize that I notice they stealing Nas' ?
I pump some Rick James with that Teena Marie
My nina lean on me like Scoob n Scrap this can't be
My book of rhymes
This can't be my book of rhymes writing this ? !
(My Book of Rhymes)
Nah neva that ? that, aw why you laughin' Alchemist?
Huh you a funny ? ... naw yeah
(My Book of Rhymes)
I'm tellin' you I'ma come up with some new ? now
? that I'ma write again now ? that
I musta been high on some ? mmm what the ? is this?
Look how we treat pregnancy women in the 'hood
Our values so low our values are no good
Things our mothers told us we shoulda heeded
Cause now we need it
We older almost able t...
I'm jealous of you how come you so beautiful?
Smelling fresh youthful intelligent while I'm stressin' and ?
Aiyo I envy you 'cause all you do is smile and things come your way
Such a innocent child is what some say
I get upset 'cause I just want to be treated the way you are
Like a star not a worry in this world thus far
But wait a minute we both need ya mother's attention
I must be crazy jealous of my own baby infant
(Kinda crazy)

That made the song right there, one of the most incredible concepts, how are you reading through your old book of rhymes, dissing yourself even though the ? was pretty good, flippin through your book only to come across the ? you wrote the day your daughter was born, and an incredible little poem at that, that ? leaves me stunned everytime, then he ends with "kinda crazy" you feel him even if you havent had a kid yet, brilliance -
Soul on ice death threats given by clowns I guess/livin is prison when you live around clowns I'm hexed

Ras Kass diss?.. -
That soul on ice ? I believe was a subliminal at ras kass. I don't think it was ever confirmed. If it is a diss though, calling his rhyming ? monologue is ether

Ras was supposedly dissing nas in a few freestyles.
Some of the these ? is suspect, like poppin outta birthday cakes
But next to they ? , they ain't worth they weight
Worse, wait--
They claim all this weight they worth in murder
But the only servin you did was "would you like cheese on that burger"?
"Or supersize those fries"
? , Supersize the lies in your rhymes
Dramatize your crimesand drop dimes
My homies ? snitches with 9s
I'm vicious with spittin, It Was Written
but ? is ignorant, and don't read books
So take a picture trick, and look
Life's a ? , so I'ma ? her til she comes and ? is shook
Don't forget me in the top 5 of all-time rappers..
Then he had that bar "somebody baby mama getting ? oochie waly style" or something. -
Dope concept, he executed it pretty well too.
