Ughh, yea

Yo


[chorus]

Perfection, flawless, masterpiece, no mistakes

Back in the 1800s I was burned at the stake (I am the Wordsmith)

Metaphor Mephistopheles, degrees I've achieved

The brain fluid it takes to believe would equal the seven seas (I am the Wordsmith)

I could reveal the true name of God, you'd go insane upon hearing it

Release enough winds to blow down pyramids (I am the Wordsmith)

I'm the Michelangelo of syllable, since I freestyle Genesis been biblical

That's something you gotta give in to


[Verse One]

Yo, yo, since born in my mama's vaginal sauna

As a sono-gram, I've been fond of phonics

It's ironic, even as an embryonic

Fed through an umbilical, don't that sound biblical?

I've been a terror since I teareth out of the uterus

'Cause evil plans were made to defeat us as a fetus

Though now I walk in infamy, as a child they had it in for me

Was raised with guns in infantry, in diapers and in infancy

The childhood of a hood, that was raised in the hood

Cops said, "Put your hands in the high sky"

I put my hands down on the hot hood

I can't whine or drink wine, nine planets planned it

'Til it became apparent, my parents shouldn't have been a parent

State to state we ran some, I wasn't worth no ransom

Money, won't you hand some? A nigga wasn't handsome

Raise the mind like Charles Manson's

Knew I was some man's son, but which one? 

That made me strong, created my poison tongue


[chorus]

Perfection, flawless, masterpiece, no mistakes

Back in the 1800s I was burned at the stake (I am the Wordsmith)

Metaphor Mephistopheles, degrees I've achieved

The brain fluid it takes to believe would equal the seven seas (I am the Wordsmith)

I could reveal the true name of God, you'd go insane upon hearing it

Release enough winds to blow down pyramids (I am the Wordsmith)

I'm the Michelangelo of syllable, since I freestyle Genesis been biblical

That's something you gotta give in to


[Verse Two]

Why you cut school? 'Cause you ain't feel too good

I cut school 'cause my cuts ain't heal too good

Through all the physical abuse my mind escaped through the gift of wordplay

I memorized encyclopaedias and dictionaries

I wrote anthems from antonyms, harmonies from homonyms

Created cinema from synonyms

Was livid to eliminate that illustrious life you livin' in

Wrote rhetoricals in rhythms

I could paralyze with a parable, make rhymes out of religion

Crucify you with a prefix, or suffocate you with a suffix

Wrote lectures so infectious it's known to infect the listeners

Who dissin' us?

Yo punks you wait... I punctuate

My karma's the comma

That puts you inside of a coma

Hyphen, dot, dot, semi-colon, leave you semi-swollen

Question mark, you pregnant?

Oh you're not? I love you, period.

To sum it up, language is my essence

Fucked up in all my adolescence 'til my Moms was out of lessons

Laws: I store convenient

Still I rob a convenience store

Love Mom, Fuck Mom, shit I ain't love me no more

Mentally it didn't register, bitch

Empty the register, bitch

You just a cashier, bitch

Give the cash here, or I'll shoot you in your cabbage

Hijack a getaway cab, bitch

Words ain't makin' me no loot, don't change now Dow Jones average

Regardless, we Godless

They stole my innocence

In a sense, the judge sentenced me to three lifetimes sentences

To write my life and times and sentences

Art my dark archnemesis

They want me off the premises, that's what the premise is

Locked on a tier where you can't shed a tear at

Studied more Shakespeare than any African shakes a spear at

And the whole world fear that, and it hurts

I got caught killing time, but then I got with words


[chorus]

Perfection, flawless, masterpiece, no mistakes

Back in the 1800s I was burned at the stake (I am the Wordsmith)

Metaphor Mephistopheles, degrees I've achieved

The brain fluid it takes to believe would equal the seven seas (I am the Wordsmith)

I could reveal the true name of God, you'd go insane upon hearing it

Release enough winds to blow down pyramids (I am the Wordsmith)

I'm the Michelangelo of syllable, since I freestyle Genesis been biblical

That's something you got to give in to


[Bridge]

People can say whatever they want about me

But agree that I am the Wordsmith (I am the Wordsmith)

They can try to ignore everything that I achieve

But agree that I am the Wordsmith (I am the Wordsmith)

Yo, the love of words is deep in my veins

Must be to silence my pain, I am the Wordsmith (I am the Wordsmith)

And even if I never move a million units

It's my blessin how I do it, I'm the Wordsmith (I am the Wordsmith)


[Verse Three]

I'm in a game full of morons, and they keep putting more on

I tutor the Torah, I'm in the core of the Qu'aran

The mind's what I represent, and emcees better re-present

I'm taking this rappin' bullshit to the fullest extent

I have reservations why Indians are on reservations

Told that board of education I was bored of education

As far as this go I leave you deader than disco

Rocking sex and violence over sax and violins

Through your minds camera lens, you're in need of an ambulance

I'll knock you to the asphalt, it's your own ass fault

Your last thought, I'll never sell my self short to be famous

And taking it up the anus just ain't us

The world could get the penis of this classical trained pianist

My P.O. was P.O.'d, handed a cup, told me to "pee in this"

The linguist musician, my college position is my intuition

Told me that I wouldn't be affordin' tuition

My education's all on my own

So I might have been born yesterday, but I rhyme like there's no tomorrow


[chorus]

Perfection, flawless, masterpiece, no mistakes

Back in the 1800s I was burned at the stake (I am the Wordsmith)

Metaphor Mephistopheles, degrees I've achieved

The brain fluid it takes to believe would equal the seven seas (I am the Wordsmith)

I could reveal the true name of God, you'd go insane upon hearing it

Release enough winds to blow down pyramids (I am the Wordsmith)

I'm the Michelangelo of syllable, since I freestyle Genesis been biblical

That's something you gotta give in to


(I am the Wordsmith)

(YOU'RE CRAZY!)
