Thelonius

Thelonious Sphere Monk (, October 10, 1917 – February 17, 1982) was an American jazz pianist and composer. He had a unique improvisational style and made numerous contributions to the standard jazz repertoire, including "'Round Midnight", "Blue Monk", "Straight, No Chaser", "Ruby, My Dear", "In Walked Bud", and "Well, You Needn't". Monk is the second-most-recorded jazz composer after Duke Ellington.Monk's compositions and improvisations feature dissonances and angular melodic twists and are consistent with his unorthodox approach to the piano, which combined a highly percussive attack with abrupt, dramatic use of switched key releases, silences, and hesitations. Monk's distinct look included suits, hats, and sunglasses. He also had an idiosyncratic habit duri… more »

This is Cassius Clay
Gripping and reloading the stock dropping his last name
Watch a turtle clip up the rabbit dashing from last place
Travel back to back Jewish black we ain't the last race
Money Making Mitch killing future Rico for last Ace
That's the type of time I'm on I ain't rocking Jacobs
I can't afford cosmetic living you blotch the makeup
Show me a union of man and mic then I got to breakup
Sleep on Thelonius if you want you will not wakeup
I hear a story in Purgatory about a war reporting
Live on CNN representing Capone and N.O.R.E.
I couldn't ignore it cuz the raw's gorgeous
It's so flawless from the Medellin flow get exported
I gotcha thinking I wrote this verse in Columbia
Only coca leaf I seen was posted on Tumblr
And it wasn't Pusha T's neither
Suburban whites perpetrating Coke Boy brand with Michael Jordan sneakers
Between the JumpMans and the Yeezus
That's like picking Trump or Hillary running soles of two lesser evils
You get it? Nah...I lost them in the awesome sauce
If I let you tell it boss you'll Instagram the wrong cost
For them bricks of Kathy Lee & Regis
You play connect the dots and the opps run up on you like Slim Jesus
For my daughter I'll Broad Street bullies like Beanie Sigel
Two-handed with birds of prey, you pick the hawk or the eagle
I gave you oxygen on every feature
You cross my path on a track nowadays breathe in my ether
And let it burn the opinion we're equal you're just my rival
Destruction you manifest I will scripture you like the Bible

I'm tryna fit the last 3 years of my life inside of a 16
But I lost consistency in 2015
Prior to this I was riding a tidal wave
Humbled by the acclaim when the reviews were rave
But life would happen,
Triple beam balancing pain, depression and magic
Insecurity turned to arrogance like I was savage
Then my idols became my rivals
And now I'm apologetic, almost like I regret it
I had to battle my brother, rapping wasn't the same
I never meant any trouble, I shouldn't have said his name
Reconciled with my ex, it was something I had to do
Trust with my daughter's mother, it's something I had to lose
Divided my best friends, relations are kinda grim
Struggle to stay afloat in these bills I couldn't swim
They calling me black Jesus, it's blasphemous in my sins
And these will answer the question when they ask me where I've been

It's all a defense mechanism
They pressure me as a good man
I self pity my own flaws
What they see in me I don't understand

It's all a defense mechanism
They pressure me as a good man
I self pity my own flaws
What they see in me I don't understand
