Intro

Either I'm squeaky clean or I conceal my dirt well

Either/or these motherfuckers can't wait 'til I sip and tell

But my balance is impeccable, lyrics legible

But they go over your head like a lightbulb

A slight snub when they mention the best in my metropolitan

Skills, spills, appeal, triple threat, Neapolitan

So clearly it is I, sincerely I have tried

To not be boastful but that way was only hopeful

Eloquently delivered, revered for my penmanship

Poetic intellect, reject the illiterate

Vocal game, intricate, wordplay, magnificent

Broadcasting worldwide, Obamacare precedence

First full evidence, changed the game's relevance

Derived from what's all around, that's why my name is Element

Pocket size irrelevant, cojones like an elephant

Owning every moment, turning challenges to remnants

Soon as the ink spills, you get deep chills and you lose control

Like you swallowed a handful of E pills

It's refilled soon as the beat builds, the dream's real

As if I came with the sleep pill to your team drills

I ball, so please pardon your lame squadron

But nigga stars should be starting like James Harden

Remain starving like I ain't never had a meal

Or a couple grand even a dollar bill

I remember, back back in the winter

In the kitchen with instruments, cousin moving that tenor

That's halftime for the streets, all we want is the bands

Young niggas at your feet, all they want is a chance

So they kill for you, they college kids making meals for you

Get caught up, that's not money, man I feel for you

I'm just that nigga that's just trying to make a change

No matter if you was Muslim, we rhyme or dying the same

The only difference is that you choose to

Just trying to stay real and keep the blood up off my cuticles

The job is to get out the hood, take flights to Vegas

Being a street fighter ain't the only way you can make it

Just be patient, nigga
