(Chorus) Perfection flawless, masterpiece, no mistakes Back in the 1800's I was burned at the stake Metaphor Mephistopheles Degrees I've achieved The brain fluid it takes to believe would equal the seven seas I could reveal the true name of God But you would go insane upon hearing it Release enough winds to blow down pyramids I'm the Michelangelo of syllables Since I freestyle Genesis been biblical That's something you got to give in to
(Verse I) Since born in my mama's vaginal sauna As a sono-gram, I've been fond of phonics It's ironic, even as an embryonic Fed through an umbilical don't that sound biblical? I've been a terror Since I teareth out of the u-terus Because evil plans were made to defeat us As a fetus Though now I walk in infamy As a child they had it in for me Was raised with guns in infantry In diapers and in infancy The childhood of a hood that was raised in the hood Cops said "put your hands in the hot sky" I put my hands down on the hot hood I can't whine or drink wine Nine planets planned it 'Til it became apparent My parents shouldn't have been a parent State to state we ran some I wasn't worth no ransom Money, won't you hand some? A nigga wasn't handsome Raise the mind like Charles Manson's New I was some man's son But which one? That made me strong created my poison tongue.
(Chorus)
(Verse II) Why you cut school? Cause you ain't feel too good I cut school cause my cuts ain't heal too good Through all the physical abuse My mind escaped through the gift of wordplay I memorized encyclopedias and dictionaries I wrote anthems from antonyms Harmonies from homonyms Created cinema from synonyms Was livid to eliminate that illustrious life you're livin' in Wrote rhetoricals in rhythms I can paralyze with a parable Made rhymes out of religion Use a prefix as a crucifix Or suffocate you with a suffix Wrote lectures so infectious They're known to infect the listeners Who dissin' us? Yo punks you wait – I punctuate My karma's the comma That put you inside of a coma Hyphen, dot, dot, semi-colon Leave you semi-swollen Question mark: You pregnant? Oh you're not? I love you, Period To sum it up, language is my essence Fucked up in all my adolescence [. From: http://www.elyrics.net .] Till my Mom's was out of lessons Laws, I store convenient Still I rob a convenience store Love Mom, Fuck Mom Shit, I don't love me no more Mentally it didn't register, bitch Empty the register, bitch You just a cashier, bitch Give the cash, here Or I'll shoot you in your cabbage Hijack a getaway cab, bitch Words ain't makin' me no loot Don't change now Dow Jones average Regardless, we Godless They stole my innocence In a sense, the judge sentenced me To 3 lifetimes sentences To write my life in times and sentences Art my dark arch nemesis They want me off the premises That's what the premise is Locked on a tier where you can't shed a tear at I studied more Shakespeare Than any African can shake a spear at And the whole world fear that And it hurts I got caught for killing time But then I got with words
(Chorus)
(Bridge) People can say whatever they want about me But agree that I am the Wordsmith They can try to ignore everything that I've achieved But agree that I am the Wordsmith I am the Wordsmith Yo, the love of words is deep in my veins Must be to silence my pain I am the Wordsmith And even if I never move a million units It's my blessing how I do it, cuz I am the Wordsmith
(Verse III) I'm in a game full of morons And they keep putting more on I tutor the Torah I'm in the core of
