Leftwrite and Vishnu, we coming to get you
Leftwrite and Vishnu hit you with lyricsKicks like jujitsu, I know that you hear it
It was standard issue, this old school spirit
Zed takes the Cake and creates, but don′t clear it
Clear fit, permit me to spit just a bit
Oh shit that's sick, the quick click of the hi hats
Plus the punch of the kick
Conjunction junction, what′s the function of it?
A snare appears as a punch to the chin
No matter what state or country you're in
As long as you live in comfortable skin
Then the rhythm also resides within, Amen
Hallelujah Oh Lord
A groove moves through ya
Smooth, but still nasty like a barracuda
We're hot in Alaska, cool in Bermuda
Students of life, our minds right
No attitude of entitlement
My ascent′s dependent on my use of my environment
Vishnu′s burning midnight oil, someone open up a fire vent
We escaped the confines of conformity
Cut a hole in the wire fence
Getting acorns for retirement
Squirrely world we're living in
Never giving in, deliver the energy
And the ends are out on a limb
ANTI-GAME won′t play by the rules of the game
All the same we came to win it
Won't act the fool or resort to gimmicks
For 15 minutes and a bag of spinach
No interest in fame and a check
Unless success comes with respect
And in that respect you can surely bet
Zed and Left want to be the next Red and Meth
We wanna be our best foremost and first
We wanna progress while most revert
We wanna stay fresh in a host of turds
That are most concerned to boast most gross earned
Honestly that bothers me
Hip hop is not another job to me
See it comes from the heart it′s artistry
Partake of my art it's a part of me
We truly believe that quality′s
Always gotta be a hot commodity
And if not it certainly ought to be
It's odd to me that good hip hop is an oddity
So with no ambiguity
Spew truth no misconstruing me
To be a real emcee means mastery
Lyrically. You hearing me?
Leftwrite and Vishnu, get ready for round 2
Lyrical fitness. Spit it with a quickness
Rap's no synonym for ignorance (No)
Stupidity will be met with resistance (Yes)
I′ve had it with apathy, now can I get a witness? (Hell yes)
Gotta say what I feel
A dope beat and ill emcee seal the deal
Stay real and keep competition on their heels
Build skills until they buy meals and pay bills
Lyrical misfits, rippin′ it's our business
Listless lyricists can′t spit this
Yo, I don't get it dude
Can you not have hot beats and lyrics too?
The two need not mutually exclude
One another what a bummer having jelly
With no peanut butter
Me and my brother hit the kitchen
With ingredients for the main dish and the fixings
Mixing complementary tones, now we′re cooking
Surround the sound spectrum like a pair of bookends
Need more information? Look, listen, read
Study and practice then increase the speed
Zippy lips rip it, spit it like we give a shit
Witty lids, flip scripts, tell the truth, and never quit
Dap to rappers who've mastered the craft of gab
Props to producers making beats in the lab
Turn it up! Rattle the rear view on cars near you
Make it loud enough for everyone to hear too
If it′s too loud, you're too old. Stay proud. Stay bold
Crank the stereo. Yo! Gimme some mo
Woo ha! Boo yah! We brewed a brouhaha
Get the moolah by making you say ooh la la
Never chew fois gras. Reach heights and stay grounded
Well fed, well read, well bred, well rounded
The horn has sounded. ANTI-GAMEface on. (What)
Our brag is tongue in cheek 'cuz our music is fun
But don′t mistake thoughtfulness for weakness
Dumbed down clown emcees speak less
Weak flesh needs a strong mind. We got two
Need fresh beats and dope rhymes? We got you
Some say trap killed hip hop. No, it′s not true
It'll clot soon. Just an unfresh flesh wound. (Eww)
Fire beats and lit lyrics are here to cauterize
Ears hear the heat, giving you saucer eyes
Leftwrite and Vishnu keep sights on the prize
And we′re fully authorized to make everybody rise
Throw your hands in the sky, feel alive
Live in the rhythm and do more than survive
Thrive, take a chance for a dream
Dollar, dollar bill, y'all. Get the money. C.R.E.A.M.
ANTI-GAME so fresh and so clean
Leftwrite and Vishnu, we said that we′d get you
