The Interview

Artifacts


El Da Sensei] 
My characteristics be mistic, you ask who is it 
doin it, with the next type of tecs running through it 
The bullshit, I mean, rap style clean 
while I lean my 6 foot frame, Tame's the other being 
Seeing that niggas wack, time to take it back to basics 
Like saucony sneakers or a pair of Asics 
Don't hate this- analyst, hip hop activist 
battle tecnician who be on a mission now listen 
[Tame One] 
Tame One got more grip than gore tex 
I'm comin through your set like CBS 
writing my name up in your projects 
Who wanna test me when I'm sess-ted 
Pushing the paragraph like it's a Lexus 
I come off hot like Texas 
My west disrtict predicts that I'm the shit 
So I walk through the bricks and shoot the gif like it's a full fifth 
I bring the ruckus filling dutches with dust 
I spread love like Take 6 until the whole spliff bust 
[El] 
We wish to diminish MC frauds who need to check 
into a rap clinic, thinking that they all in it 
My message to those is right down to the core 
kick your best MC and all his niggas through the door 
3-point offense, defense level's high 
Stamina a hundred, leave your team ass dry 
[Tame] 
It's still our nature to hate ya 
play you out like Las Vegas 
cause my crew's got more game than 16 Segas 
with adaptors, battling wack rappers and actors for all their stacks 
and keeping my family fucked up like the Jacksons 
[El] 
Yo, you couldn't find my dap if you tried to use a map 
or instructions, the number ones sold, guns be bustin so 
Best to recognize, eyes is on the prize 
watching for spies who want a piece of the lyrical pie 
[Tame] 
Crews be flippin like they really wanna die 
but when I ease up, they freeze and can't look me in the eye 
I got folders on the jokers who talk trash 
They never walk past, cause I be checkin for they're hall pass 
Haul ass and let me shine like glass do 
when I die make a statue, I get in you like a tattoo 
I pay homage to all the bombers that I'm fly with 
enduring politics and getting paid off of some side shit 
[El] 
I push niggas back who lack skills to hold their own 
Jackin other brothers' styles way that they can zone 
Prone to dismantle your insides like Mickey Mantle 
My form lasts long, like trick candles 
You see the work of these rhyme experts 
that hurt niggas in cyphers to make the other states liver 
Survivors of the fittest light the graf then ASCAP 
Sen-S-E-I peep the next paragraph 
[Tame] 
In all actu-al my style's wilder than a crack spot 
I'm illin, using the putas you buildin as my backdrop 
I paint a picture perfect with a thousand pencils 
From the back of Continentals, Lincolns, drinkin, thinkin mental 
You better look through your girl's tape collection 
cause this next subject might have a nigga second-guessing 
I wanna do raps and get fat like Apache 
so I can get nasty and dis a nigga like a taxi 
[El] 
My exquisite exhibit has facts in this specific 
Most niggas boast how they represent and come with it 
But whose the rudest boys, coolest with poise 
Artifacts be stickin them with rhythm poise 
Is on the biz, taylor skills like Liz 
Tryin to save the culture, vultures wanna run the biz 
You hear my voice more clear, intact 
peep the lyrics, trap my sectrets 
Ill like the film called the Curor 
Questions, answers, brothers payin dues 
MCs recognize, yo, we endin this interview
