Time - Psychic Shield
Full of wrath he's about to blow, he felt like a walking 6 ft volcano
Brainstorms like tornadoes, whirlwind of bars come get a face full
Mash beats like potatoes, serving up emcees like alfredo
I’m rather esoteric, rip a rappers face off and wear it
A chainsaw for a tongue I possess it, Leatherface you can't tear it
World builder each word a brick layed, each syllable a switchblade
I been this way since 6th grade, always writing rhymes and I don’t miss days
I hold the pen like a sword fight, if you see me swing goodbye to your life
Game speed when the sword slice, I don’t forgive but the lord might
I saw his soul walk towards the light, he'll be back soon with a stork bite
Got my psychic shield that's fluorite, I’m on Paulo's Path with a torchlight
I kill these parasites like chloride these demons trying to absorb my light
I see the devil watching court side, I scored 40, they scored 5
Looking at my watch it's war time, i spit knives through a quartz mic
Your train of thoughts a short ride, it got derailed we poured the wine
Victory I know it's mine but the dopamine lies all the time
Illusion and impermanence we’ll all fade in due time
