Check How we sounding? Pretty good? Alright, let's get it then I'd like to kick this thing off with a little disclaimer Beats this hard make the others look lamer So before you box me in with the other no-namers Just know I'll bust the top off of every container I been talking the flex Since Lil Nas got his X No pill popping or sex I'm here to rock, nothing less I'm at the top of the crest I will not stop, never rest If you ain't bought in, invest I'm beyond Carter, the best I know the cost when I'm locked in Accosting a boss with A posse of top tens I'm hotter than Austin Hip hopper like Hopsin Stuck in your noodle That's Maruchan Top Ramen I'm all in I got you redder than roses Yo I'm dropping explosives And I noticed this flow sticks up in your psychosis I post this, in moments it's vogue, it's in focus This opus is Apotheosis (Let's go kids!) If I'm 'bout to be deified I'll give you the peace of mind Rap is getting redefined I'll change the world, that's isekai I supply the reason rhymes Heathens neither read nor write They're hungry tryna eat a bite They need some wine or piece of pie Sink or fly, seek the sky He's the kind to free your mind Read a line, he's divine Brendan's getting deified let's go I'm known for saying words loudly, proudly And rappers listen to them devoutly Haters wanna come 'round me Saying they ain't about me Then they hear me announce And integrate just like Cauchy I'm mousy and bouncy And pouncing on lousy Lil' grouchies who're drowsy And they wanna renounce me Discount me, denounce me Turn me in for a bounty To tout me, but now see Ain't nobody can trounce me, uh It's nice to know I'll be immortalized Quite unlike before when I would see the world through mortal eyes I won't lie, I still cry Blue on the regular: Mordecai Don't deny, no surprise This game is harsh like Lord of Flies Poltergeist, on the mic I might make them roll their eyes Open wide, no disguise I'm known for prose as cold as ice When you say I ain't as hard as rocks needing Narcan Makes me wanna pop the top off the pop can When I mix the tom and saw like a con man I let the beat swing through your brain like it's Tarzan See the critics talking their hate, hit the alt+tab Sick of rappers acting irate, call that all gab Aw snap, gonna get down cuz you're an old fad? So sad, these younger rappers just got the gonads Go mad, need to evolve just like a lotad You'll go bad, now hit the road just like a nomad My flow's rad I give foes the toe tag Never blow back I'm Borat with no dad Make a bro glad, I'm a dose of Prozac And it's known fact: I'm a pro with the vocab People like to interview Asking if I study the dictionary just to get a clue Nah dude I just paid attention back in middle school I did a cool 180 from the ridicule Now I'm at the pinnacle Laughing at the pitiful Lapping in the kiddie pool Acting really cynical Acting inhospitable To others on the pedestal My topics are pivotal My content is seminal Several critics tell me that my stuff is preferable I get the emeralds, diamonds, and jewels Sing with angels and hit new angles I don't tie, grr, no, I never bengal I never bungle, I get the hottest singles Your rhymes are mangled I'm a star, I'm spangled Kick your kankles And get the bankrolls (Dang, bro!) Guess I'll be rapping for eternity You're burning me? You're burdened with learning Yes that's a certainty I cut it up like surgery You're copycats, you're perjury I murder any burglary I don't let up the fervency I do it all concurrently I do not need the currency I keep flowing like turpentine And twist around you serpentine I spit divine emergencies And get you hype as Circletine Every now and then I get a little down again Accounting for the mounting sense Of drowning existential dread I'm pouting to my friends again The pounding in my head has been A clouding and a shrouding presence Lingering and festering I'm wrestling my head again I'm pestering my best of friends They're lessening the pestilence But sickness is the best defense Against the questions questing To malinger my whole mental sense Of imminence when evidence Suggests that I'm not heaven-sent I'm just a gent who thinks too highly of himself Put me high up on the shelf But I'll still die like all the else Wish I were high like all the elves Living high among the elms Never dying, never crying Just abiding in our realms That's why I've been writing hymns So I can fight the spins That I get when my body's lacking vital vitamins And it reminds me that my timely time is coming in And my demise will be the final time That I can wisely grin So I surmise that writing rhymes will help me try to live again Up in the minds of all my friends And in websites where I get clicks But I'm convinced that it's a blitz And I'm a blip against reality A blink against a galaxy That'll sink in its own gravity And casually collapse when it relapses to its malady We lack the basic tapestry We snap to break our apathy We sag into calamity We're dragged into the cavity We sink beyond the brink As we encapsulate catastrophe I think of this whole fallacy and wonder why I linger How can I fight the endless night when I can't lift a finger? Why should I try to never die and write another single When we're on a dinky planet and our star'll never mingle? When I crinkle up another sheet, my nose'll start to wrinkle I'll chip my way out of the salt; I'll break out of the Pringle If I can sprinkle joy into a life that isn't fickle If I've got a gift then I should share it Call me Kris Kringle So before we wrap it up like a spring roll Let's raise the shingles And get spritely like Tingle Try to fight off the sink holes Tryna bite all our end goals Our ankles Before doubt gets us all tangled So bring out the bangles, yo I'm ready to dance Ready to ascend past anyone speaking in chants I'm not entranced There's not a chance I'm leaving the past Ready to live with the immortals No one saying I can't Ready to live with demigods Apathy and Achilles I'm half king half god Like I'm Queen Nefertiti Float along on every song Powered by Archimedes And I'm born to be a star Like I'm up in the Pliedes So I entreaty the deities To get my name out on CDs And as I'm pleading for fealty They tell me that I'm too greedy I'm mediocre at best Clearly over-obsessed No need to over-invest In someone over the crest I need to grow to be blessed So get to going, no guest Of the Gods will be caught napping No time to rest But here, we'll throw in some stress Add a little duress Cuz a test is always best For those who seek to impress Let me confess When I stress I depress all the rest Cuz I wrest success from the pissed and the pests I express verbal excess, speaking with my chest And unless up next is a nest of insects I'm the buzz bringer Buzzer beater Busting up the set So how you gonna put me down? How you gonna put me out? They looked down and said "Heh, I guess you'll find out" So the gods cast me back down to the planet Feeling manic but don't panic cuz there's no point being frantic Almost had it, thought I had the rap enchantment in my talons But it vanished, perished on the transatlantic like titanic Now I feel the static buzzing in my head under the cowlick Feel erratic and emphatic as Illmatic with the antic But I know my talent cannot shatter underneath the mallet So I get semantic, chatter out an oath like Hippocratic "I vow to be the best that I can be To make the most of the choices that my parents gave me To do my part, contribute back to society And try to see if I can be the one they're granting piety" And finally, with these words written in the Aether I stood up to start, got no time to take a breather I pushed open my door and I looked out at the sunrise I surmise that it's time, I'mma need some allies So I reached out to my friends and my kin To the ones I know who've written rhymes time and again But to my chagrin, looked at me and they turned they chin Told me: "You'll never win Brendan, you're not musical, you're ST
