[Intro]
Hey, yo

[Verse]
I been pennin' the Iliad and the Odyssey
A premonition I really had, it was prophecy
Back in the kitchen, now where we at it's monopoly
The Mathematician I entered the system properly
This officially a Philly jawn, once again it's on
I was born ringing alarms like Tenor Saw
My track record is what I ain't got a blemish on
Unless I remember wrong
Well, either way I'm 'bout to finish strong
Redemption songs of a Genghis Khan
Revenge is sworn later on, though the gang is called
You hit the nail on the head, bro, we don't bang wit'cha'll
Your team different, we don't move with the same decorum
What I reflect is still a real feel temperature
Symptoms show I'm physically ill and still emperor
Track whisperer, carbon colored conquistador
Kiss the jawns and make 'em cry, it's not difficult
Whoa, a lot of rappers is rollin', in fear of Trotter
They far from rock solid, they soldiers Terracotta
Of my philosophy, I'm the father like Aristotle
I will put a end to your whole saga, you Harry Potters is soft
Your rhymes E-M-O, mines is non-G-M-O
I'm a vessel, a vehicle, y'all don't see it though
I'm comin' for the riches you stole like King Leopold
And keep the whole world on watch while history unfolds

[Outro]
Hey, yo

Black Thought

Thought is highly renowned in the Hip-Hop community for his socially aware, informed, and character-driven rap style. He is considered by many, a lyrical killer and legend that falls in the same category as Yasiin Bey, Talib Kweli, Q-Tip, members of the Wu-Tang Clan and even Nas.

He also is a member and founder of supergroup Money Making Jam Boys, consisting of Black, and other Roots collaborators Sugar-Tongue-Slim (STS), Greg Porn, Truck North, and Dice Raw. STS can be heard on “Right On” while the other three are widely and largely on Undun.
