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.

I got alotta friends but I only trust me
Even though my enemy is my inner me
When I'm in the streets I follow my inner G
Conserving my energy so the demons don't intervene
Angels wanna classify the rappers in my city by the levels
The trinity's the reaper with the god and the devil
So when they talkin' Saynt, Thelonius & Rico Riott
I stray away from the fray what's a Bray without his Wyatt
Check the bars of a wrestling fan, it's all fair
Nature's raising a man from the boy, that's Ric Flair
As a rookie I knew I would earn a veteran's stamp
The assassin of your cerebral I'm claimingThe People's Champ
I paint over the easel my watercolor's the sound
Of the Hanna, the South, Allison Hill, then Uptown
Go and tell then the one in a hundred I came to run it
You gunnin' but you don't wanna it
Them Cougars they wardrum it when I get to dumpin'

When I'm cruisin' in the whip music bumpin' as I ride by (ride by)
When I get up on the stage got me feelin' like I'm cloud 9 (cloud 9)
Get a rush up in my blood overdose until I die (I die)
The whole city showin' love like a drug get 'em sky high (sky high)

All of you chumps are gonna bow
When I whoop him
All of you
I know you got him
I know you got him picked
But the man's in trouble
I'mma show you how great I am

There's alot accolades for the gain
The fame I never considered the day that I came
The people paralleled parked the pressure in my lane
Until my confidence collapsed on the tracks of a freight train
(My Name Is My Name) Marlo said it on The Wire
I put the fear of Snoop in you when she would open fire
My mother called me Christopher but I'm convinced he's missing
So pardon my dismissal of Thelonius listen
As I tell you something in this verse
I'm top tier but I'm falling within this gift and curse
It's quite clear that I'm conflicted with division, I'm battling my conviction
Of walking the humble road or dismantle the competition
And you ain't even know that I got shooters in the fold
But I tell them to keep it cold, they don't have to pilot the stove
Go and tell then the one in a hundred I came to run it
you gunnin' but you don't wanna it
Them Cougars they wardrum it when I get to dumpin'

When I'm cruisin' in the whip music bumpin' as I ride by (ride by)
When I get up on the stage got me feelin' like I'm cloud 9 (cloud 9)
Get a rush up in my blood overdose until I die (I die)
The whole city showin' love like a drug get 'em sky high (sky high)
