Longevity

J Live

With or without the mic when my mind gets phonetic



The mouth gets kinetically energetic its simple as your alphabetics



My words you mark and never mock long as my name has been Jean Jacques



I keep you open like your pupils in the dark.




Dogs bark at the gate to negate what I create



Still I write rhymes regardless of the stop signs



In tough times or nice times



For shade or for sunshine



Throughout time all times have been the right time, to recite mine



To mankind



Who wants mine, come get mine



You best combine minds



Before you cross that fine line



And say who is so called inclined



Press rewind



You'll find if you're blind, you can't see



How this defines and redefines M U S I C



Who I be



H I P H O P, you know we



As them strangers



That some wish they could be or not to be



Impossibly



As it transcends from hte pen, to the key to the mind



You will find an emcee, good enough to envy



As long as I'm alive



It'll send me to that next shit



That some just can't get wit' or F with



My almamada tolf you that "it don'y quit" kid, it don'y start until it



all seems to be so easy




Chorus: Easy, Emcee is my ambition, The incredible, lyrical and



original emcee is my ambition




Who in their right minds thinks they can put a stop to hip hop



If it don't stop till I stop



And I don't stop till it stop



Fake emcees that soak props like rag mops must get dropped



Risin' to the top of the bottom



That's how I got 'em



If your hearts glass ceiling is my mind's glass floor



Whose style do you suppose



Reaches higher plateaus



While you kick those sellout flows



In hope to sell out shows



But get your spots taken easy as the wind blos



J remains repin all the heads whole steppin



Whose style shall be the illest



With or without the weapon



With or without a doubt I maintain with just the facts



Improving skills with or without the record contracts



And yet still



If that beez the case my presence was a gift in its own right



So I remain strong



Long as



Hands cap on



Snare drums tap on



J's word stays bond



And cornballs who rap get snapped on



Live lyrics will be just that



Just phat



Just right for all those who feel my flavors tight



I'm dedicated to the flow



The only way the true lyricist could ever make it seems so easy




Chorus




As I reserve the right to renovate the Raw Shack with lyrical



scaffolds



Heads are battled as tracks are travelled



You're unraveled



Or should I say unrapped in this world where mics get checked and



all cornballs get slapped



Alright rhymes get rewritten



No bullshittin



Perfected



JL run point and stays on it



Mastered styles look back and laugh at first drafts



Freestyles make toes wanna paydownponit



Do anything but lay down on it



Anestesiatics get trapped like rats in attics



To craftmatics



but then transform like skilled wax to insomniacs with my name in



your almanacs infact



I let my glory be that never ending story



Like those that still inspire since seven albums before me



Cause yo



From this old school comes a new degree



Yet to be mastered till longevity seems to be so easy
