lyrics

SIMPLE

The super fresh breath now exhaled holy grail of vocab
Superseding unbelieving boastful m.c.’s
Who achieve fame but lack real game
I spit fire with the heat of flame
You fake like game boards at soul train awards
Rocking with hoards of ancestors
Rock dashikis to polyesters khaki cut offs
Hard and soft perfect balance
Challenge the kid get touched by the talents
Sweet honey in the knock touch the bass frame the song
Track rap along tell your friends it’s the bomb
Long time coming I rock when the beats coming
Flip like a samurai Suzuki expert
Work it well gel perfect with the word script
That’s true nicest like when icis transformed to lin que
I send you the listener for your head and shoulders
Flip my mic around and lay it back into the holster
Like that

CHORUS:

You said you was tough but you got touched what
Happened to the hardcore when it came down
To the test you was rocking the same sound
You gotta step up your shine, hey yo

If you can’t write rhymes
Then you shouldn’t write rhymes
It’s as simple as that just appreciate rap

If you can’t write rhymes
Then you shouldn’t write rhymes
It’s as simple as that just appreciate rap



VERSE 2
Pro stereo sonic enhanced chance to duplicate zero
Negate your hopefulness gift
Play this for your pop’s say it’s the new rock
Tougher than smooth jazz and harder than pop
Hold your chops thru Babylon with hip-hop
I stand firm and take heed and don’t stop
Knocking my crop thru the forest where cops holding the street
I maintain with soul singers and fresh beats
That’s the heat raise outta your seats
I distort your world vision like fox
Clear the scope show the hope for all folk
Travel the world and move blessed
Then backpack back to the west
I’m conscious to the words that I manifest
And that’s the real but know I can still get ill
I’ts the determined and still strong Raashan Ahmad
Crown City crew every members holding they own
Reppin the zone keeping the strong building the song
Making things grow plus moving along
And you

Said you was tough but you got touched what
Happened to the hardcore when it came down
To the test you was rocking the same sound
You gotta step up your shine, hey yo

If you can’t write rhymes
Then you shouldn’t write rhymes
It’s as simple as that just appreciate rap

If you can’t write rhymes
Then you shouldn’t write rhymes
It’s as simple as that just appreciate rap
