The Format

[Produced by DJ Premier]

[Intro]

AZ

I'm ready...

[Verse 1]

You know the chronicles, the shit that if mama knew

The stress the drama do, the TEC's phenomenal

Rapid fire, it pecks through the abdominal

You bastard liars, it's me who's the honorable

Bathed and clothed up, shaved and close-cut

Restraint from temptation was drained from both nuts

Heh, now in the physical form

Verbalize through the scriptures, I was Biblically born

It's I'ah, Jeremiah, conceived through the blunt fire

On Kawasaki's, can wheelie up on one tire

Well respected, jail connected

Got the method for them pretty females perfected

For sure, very few flaws, heavy Chevy two-doors

Candy paint, it'll give a nigga the blue balls

Pause... this the life I chose

Done did the 360, the cypher's closed

C'mon!

[Hook: Scratching by DJ Premier]

The format is real sickenin', contagious

Here I come, AZ, there you go

Still I don't have to run no game, I done those things

[Verse 2]

Young and gifted, my tongue's prolific

In the beach bungalow is how I brung in Christmas

For the streets I'ma flow from the hungriest districts

Swiss kicks, crisp when I come to them picnics

Play slow, paper chase, stack and lay low

Range Rove' tinted, all black, the same old

Psychic mind, righteous rhymes

Done turned a new leaf from my life of crime

No concerns with new beef, who's as nice as I'm?

It's confirmed, from few feet I'm still a sniper blind

Built my fame, spilt my pain

Politickin' daily, still tryin' to milk the game

It's obvious that I'm real, rap skills remain

I took some change and I'm still the same

[Hook: Scratching by DJ Premier]

The format is real sickenin', contagious

Here I come, AZ, there you go

Still I don't have to run no game, I done those things

[Verse 3]

Learnt the system, burned some izm

Jotted my jewels down like journalism

How I maneuve now, it'll merge the wisdom

A pilgrim, prophesize, puttin' words to rhythm

Relatin', I Adam Clayton it, manifestation, patient

Meditatin' with them animals waitin'

Pacin' like an inmate that sealed his fate

Let some years escape, but I'm still in shape

I'm chillin', deeply rooted, a beast with music

From Bed-Stuy to the East, I'm too at peace to lose it

But love it, I still does it, breathin' off a Trump budget

Fresh out of Bloomies with the Louis luggage

[Hook: Scratching by DJ Premier]

The format is real sickenin', contagious

Here I come, AZ

Here you go, how we get down

The format is real sickening, contagious

Here I come, AZ

Here you go, how we get down

AZ

Here I come, AZ

Here I come, AZ

Here I come, AZ

Here I come, here we go

How we get down

Here I come, here you go

Here I come, AZ

Here I come

Here I come
