Greatest That Never Lived

Lyrics

My heart submerged 'fore my tongue started surfing
 Concerning how one person birth words worth unearthing
 Two-verse sermon perched up in a 44 membar
 A 20-bar memoir of a whirling dervish
 Steel sharpen steel but my sword grow the firmest
 In the burning furnace of my sojourn for purpose
 Every step's a pilgrimmage
 Special ed who never read the syllabus
 Still got it made and getting paid off how real it is
 Have you ever witnessed man with sure hope in his glance
 Short cordless in his hand, eyes closed, wide open
 With lines quoted from his inner scripture in militant chant?
 Illustrate an image in an instant, spit a gram
 I'm highly acclaimed without a claim
 Inquire about my name
 Never short status, crack a higher plain
 Why complain? What type of chain, trophy, or walk of fame can they grant me?
 I spit it so grammy that my mimics win their Grammys
 Understand me, I'd rather be Kinged on the bal-cony than Abernathy
 John Kennedy in the lap of Jackie
 I pen a sentence, spin English, make my critics skittish
 Board a plane in the final minutes like a photo finish
 The beads clack, tap the pads, beats in beast mode
 Murdering they ego just by murmuring the cheat code
 La ilaha illa allah
 Imagine what a killer saw
 Trapped behind a prison wall
 Knowing that within his heart's a syrum that could cure us all
 The devil got sentence laws
 Sent me letters, and I read 'em scribbled in my scars
 I don't have a soul; I am a soul that got a body
 Flesh-clad, like human being is what I'm dressed as at a costume party
 I decide to go with the half-blind albino
 Eyes red rhinestones, I choice, y'already know
 That ain't the topic though, greatest that never lived
 Uh uh, debating get your head split
 Uh uh uh, shouldn't a said shit
 Uh uh, you shouldn't a said sh...
 Greatest that never lived
 Greatest that never lived
 You shouldn't a said sh-
