from King For A Day by The IZM.

about

If Giovonni and Lesley hadn't hopped on this, "Amazing Grace" wouldn't have made the project. It felt empty. I began experimenting with jazz and break beats when this song was born. I knew I was in love with the beat but I wasn't sure as to what I wanted to say. Then one day, it just came.

lyrics

(IZM) Amazing grace/ I take it to the face, don’t chase/ I’m hard body/ I’m so in that I’m out of place/ the beat so dope that it don’t need bass/ no sweetener/ thing so wet like I’m eating her/ nah nigga, I ain’t keepin her/ she had the whole hood deep in her/ fre-freaking her/ next to the stage/ dirty backpack with words of rage/ and you ain’t gotta peep my stee-lo/ you ain’t 702 hoe/ more like a million dead hearts gasping for air/ soon, we’ll have to pay for that/ so make sure that you keep a stack/ failed economics, no quarters back/ (GIOVONNI PRATT) what have I become, a product of placement for my environment to tune to/ music is money, but don’t pattern off the principle/ food for thought matter of minds stitch the outline/ hustle it’s something to move thrones draw the image/ tune into channels that’s universal/ how I juggle minds moving its marriage in matrimony/ here’s the vows/ vivid the vocal the grand/ stepping over lines/ never promised the hour amongst time/ so I chill, rapid it’s something I got a habit to express/ when I place it in music it manifests call it sunshine/ drop of a dime damn these niggers over-zealous when it comes to rhyme/ I get mine check the outline, touching the paper the pain runs through the pen/ scribble my writings to overload short mindset/ serving the majors over the net rap Wimbledon/ symbolist threat, thumbing your third eye blind/ son take and ride/ I can’t vision what is not true/ study the terms in rap language/ (game shit) sever my ties to temp tangles to floss through/ ebony flow and tight angles written/ music is something that I will die with preaching/ put it on soul and keep flipping what I know/ music I master and love text mind open/ surgically ravage the mind set with no blue print/ provided the picture to point bless when I came through repping my set to save people that bore views/ spoken on terms that can’t calm dues/(say it) simpleton drama the ill saga of a fake crew stuck in the times of fad labels/ beefing, saggin when written it spells niggas but who listenin…
