Immortalized

[Verse: Brother Ali]

Just a reminder that I stood eye to eye with my top five

Went line for line on every continent sign

Fed four babies and two wives all our lives

No sponsors or cosigns off rhymes

Lookin' just like this, dressed like this

Talkin' all Midwest like this, my left eye squint

I never blessed one spliff or one drop sipped

It's the fabric that an icon stitched

Let it drip like Krylon tips or tie-dye rinse

Who do I got to convince? This mic dеfy science

Got it all dialed in, I tug hеartstrings like violins

All type of gems inside the lens

Tell any and all I offend to drop a pin

Drip collagen like ink inside of my pen

Then try to comprehend the heights that I ascend

The light that I can bring the grimy side of things

The poet laureate, glorious lore I spit

More vivid, pourin' from the old origins

New Orleans, braid languages like creole

Something like if Neo was a griot

The servant leader bleeding through your receiver

Seeker teetering on the edge of the ether

Respect professional procedure

Street preacher authorized

I authored lines that made me immortalized
