Supreme alchemy

[Intro] Gotta celebrate life Pay tribute Celebrate and commemorate [Verse] Yeah At the crib, we listen to Madlib Hi-Tek, Dilla beat tapes and that's it Supreme alchemy, refined chemistry, divine energy We defined by our memories On them days that I wish they took me instead of Beverly I remember Rapsody reminded mе that life's ahead of me I drop thеm non sequiturs to bomb executives You'll always be the winner if you decide what the metric is Control the game, don't be the game or the predator Me, Myself and I such a formidable competitor Descendant of a king, I got Negus in my bloodline A true king is fighting with the soldiers on the front line When it's crunch time, sometimes his words can be unkind Handing and marching orders like I'm Dr. Lee in Drumline One band, one sound when we combine Most rappers just a joke, it's all setups and punchlines I couched it in a verse it's about as comfy as the confines Of a prison cell where living well is a small ray of sunshine Supreme alchemy, that ain't what the reverend say I never hesitate to show compassion 'cause that's the key to Heaven's gates To reach it, they self-medicate, the voices on my radio active like yellowcake But hella fake, why sedate when you can meditate and focus on ideas 'cause beliefs you can't legislate Or regulate, always on time, my faith is never late So before every meal, the proper said his grace Celebrate, we pay tribute and commemorate When you know your self-worth, you give thanks for your fellow greats Celebrate escaping from the industry to get away Seen the same kind of fate that turned Dumile to Metal Face Celebrate, when you slow down, we accelerate So many cautionary tales, I need some yellow tape Celebrate, we elevate and we innovate Diversify way more than your bonds, we don't assimilate
