Corrupt (Knuckle Up)

[Verse 1]

I script gutter beats and scribes lyrics

Sounds to resonate for days off these ears that simply fear it

Situate my verse six inches off curb

Eternally perturbed

When will these kids learn?

I watch with concern of elder statesman

Only breathed for three decades

But displayed i ain't vacant

Ranks of MC's infested with fakeness

It's time to act like men and reawake this

With blatant aim at cranium

I dispel your bitch rumors

Tuned to blocks with hangers

Wires giving tumors

Never write my songs for consumers

Ironic cause i write for heads with fat laces on their Pumas

Poisonous pen drips ink with each thought

The antidote you sought's been lost

Your hand's forced

Your truth? False

Corrupt world crumbles under feet

Detect deceit on these streets

[Chorus]

World's corrupt but you still want more?

(We want more!)

That's what's up cause we all stay poor

(We stay poor!)

Time's up but you still what more?

(We want more!)

Knuckle up cause we ready for war!

World's corrupt but you still want more?

(We want more!)

That's what's up cause we all stay poor

(We stay poor!)

Time's up but you still what more?

(We want more!)

Knuckle up cause we ready for war!

[Verse 2]

Caught me mid thought at quarter paragraph

Parallel lives aligned at gallows

Gallantly attack while our armies amassed

Disastrous results to be read past tomorrow

Never one to follow i lead with staggered step

Bring the vilest subject to forefront

Forecast is grim for our type gentlemen

My mom's taught me right in her fog of saint's statues

Spit a verse i'll match you

Never need to battle

Ask my nigga Dev we left lungs at waterfront

Give a fuck where you're from

It's how that mind rattles

Intelligence fatal in this nation of cattle

The notion of freedom straight babble

Child of Babylon that traveled foreign soil

Within core of heart lies eternal turmoil

[Chorus]

World's corrupt but you still want more?

(We want more!)

That's what's up cause we all stay poor

(We stay poor!)

Time's up but you still what more?

(We want more!)

Knuckle up cause we ready for war!

World's corrupt but you still want more?

(We want more!)

That's what's up cause we all stay poor

(We stay poor!)

Time's up but you still what more?

(We want more!)

Knuckle up cause we ready for war!

World's corrupt but you still want more?

(We want more!)

That's what's up cause we all stay poor

(We stay poor!)

Time's up but you still what more?

(We want more!)

Knuckle up cause we ready for war!

World's corrupt but you still want more?

(We want more!)

That's what's up cause we all stay poor

(We stay poor!)

Time's up but you still what more?

(We want more!)

Knuckle up cause we ready for war!

[Verse 3]

Forgive the bluntness of these statements

Bloodstains are hard to erase like krylon

Komplx sentence spoken again in dälek

To give it the weight it deserves and expects

Peace to my nigga Rek

At noon we resurrect to resume this vicious cycle

Precious wine seems so vital when eyes been bloodshot

Recite slurred truths and whatnot to few heads that still nod

Fuck these fake sucka frauds

Formulating freestyles that ring false

Sick of these Yeses and Yalls

I need that boom bap with bass like Lou Rawls

To make walls of Jericho fall

Son you'll never find iller verses than mine

Gave inner sight to the blind through speech

Without having skin of god's bleached
