[Cypher] Influences

(0:03)

I ask myself "What influences my raps?"...

You know...What get's me going? What am I even doin this shit?

I couldn't give you a straight answer but I could tell you one thing...

I got a list, and it's FULL of answers, and since I can't sing...well then...

I guess i'll just have to rap em'

 

(0:22)

I do it for the classics

Do it to attack and rap about the bad times, sadness

Sadly to shine for me to come up with these lines

Divine rhymes, time and time again i'm lookin'

For inspiration, my kind

 

(0:33)

I'm like a light-bulb my mind lit

When I flipped the switch to find it

So I could shine like other kinds with my lips

The underground artists sproutin' under towns never bound

The smartest and never crowned for profit

'Least for now

 

(0:44)

We're still locked in, not a Rakim or an Eminem

It might take a while but i'll leave a dent

A mile wide, smile while I vent

Look at all these in-flu-en-ces like in-flu-en-za i'm sick

 

(0:55)

So I harness the virus, in my iris

So I can see, lyrical diamonds, the finest

Then write em' down and study them

Add finness and some other funny gems

Who do they sound like? and are you copyin?

Not a chance

 

(1:04)

Cause the world that i'm livin' in

Constantly is givin' in, partially fittin' writtens

With incidents

And I won't forget Rappad the one that gave me a grandstand

In this ransacked grassland scratch that

 

(1:14)

It's an unpacked mic stand and i'm a psyched

One man band, ready to chant up an avalanche

Some day I hope in-flu-en-ces are also fans...

 

(1:25)

Shoutout to 420, RandyRhino and ZyloSylo man

Fucking beasts on every track...

Some day I hope you all holler back

 

(1:30)

But until that, i'm just killin' smaller tracks
