(feat. DL Incognito, Eternia, Maestro)



[Verse 1: Eternia]

I Played These Strings As A Kid

I Play These Strings Like A Violinist

Or A Violent Man Whose Life Is Finished

In It Till The Death Of Me

'till The Bones Are All That's Left Of Me

Look And Ya'll See The Remedy The Authenticity

Eternally Everlasting Mapping Out This Craft Till My Last Breath

You Bury Me With Pharaoh In My Casket

I Mastered This Massive Maze Avoid Disaster

And Came To My Senses Learning Lessons To Harass

I'm Raised Right Night Or Daylight Never Got Stage Fright

Ya Fame Might Cash For The Moment But I Slay Mic's

I Stay Tight Class And Dl U Know They Same Types

Rapping And Reciting Cause We Enticing A New Life

And To My Kids In The Next Life My Minds On The Biz

Ya'll Can Classify The Raps That I Exhibit

Exquisitely And Simply, Eternia That's Reppin' This



[Chorus:]

We've Dealt With The Ups And Downs

It's Just The Way It Is, The Way The World Goes Round

Some People Choose To Smile Other Choose To Frown

It's Just The Way It Is, The Way The World Goes Round

And Once You At The Top They Hafta Take Your Crown

It's Just The Way It Is, The Way The World Goes Round

We Filled The Foundation From The Underground

It's Just The Way It Is, The Way The World Goes Round



[Verse 2: Classified]

You Now I'm That Kid Reppin' The Burbs

Who Spits And Severs Your Words

Talk With A Full Mouth, Spit, Then Enter My Verse

These Copycats Neva Get To Heaven First

Cause They Style Is Fadin' Out Like Some Chip N' Pepper Shirts

Ya'll Need To Spit Some Other Words, Rip A Better Verse

To Concerned To Get The Cheddar First

That's Why You Never Get The Perks

And I've Been Playin With This Game Since I Was Fifteen

Livin In The Outbacks, Dirty And Sportin' Ripped Jeans

I've Been Here, Rock Shows, Ten Years I Dropped Flows

It's Just The Way It Is, I Did This Shit And Neva Got Doe

Much Love Though, Everything I Did It Made Me Tighter

And Now I Cipher With Some Of The Best Rhyme Writers

The Beat Slicer, I Cut It Up On Every Angle

With These Live Instruments Layin' Over Dirty Samples

I've Been Amped, Ever Since The Pen And Pad Been In My Hand

Represent The Hour Glass, (Times Up) It's Done Man



[Chorus]



[Verse 3: Dl Incognito]

Somebody Said Dl You Spit Too Many Battle Rhymes

You Ain't Sayin Nothin'; You Fuck With Nigga's Minds

There's Meaning To My Lines, So Listen Carefully

A Metaphor, A Simile I Ride Them Merrily

I'm Buyin What Your Sellin D I Master My Craft

That's What You're Thinkin But Some Day I Hope I'm Makin Some Cash

I Did It For The Love Of The Art, It Didn't Pay Off

Should I Sell Out? By No Means Just Keep Workin Hard

I'm Tryin To Quit My Day Job, Build A Career

Move With God Speed, Rockin A Spear

Guitar Riffs Like Heavy Metal, I've Got The Heavy Mental

I Come Equipped With The Real Shit, The Bare Essentials

I've Covered Ground Like An H2 Hummer

So Next Time Nigga's Wont Sleep Like Slumber

Just Incase You Wonder, I've Got A Thick Catalog

I'm Not A Newcomer I'm Just New To Ya'll



[Chorus]



[Verse 4: Maestro]

Yo Yo Fathers And Holy Spirits ?

Critics Ridiculed My Hits But Dig It

Nobody Show, They Flow Infinite

I Live It, Love It, Done It And Did It

Visually Vivid, Come In It ?

I Kill I Will I'm In It To Win It

I Was Born Shell Toein', Elbowin', Hell Throwin

Jam Blowin' (Shortly Known As) [?]

End Zone In My Flow Can Leave Your Crew Deceased

But Check The News Release

The Son Is Classified; You Know He's Rulin' The East

Good Grief, Peep The Article

Blaze You With The Audible, Spark You With The Arsenal

Can't Stop The Honorable

Bad To The Bone, Either Condemn Or Condone

? Will Go To War Like Like Arafat And Sharon

Cause I'm The King Of The Throne, Internationally Known

Fuck A Pen And A Pad Cause Now I Write With Tablets Of Stone

Give The God Credit

Go Ahead And Treat It Like A Lost ?
