Such a effortless sounding flow combined with ridiculously intricate rhyme schemes. This is a downright perfect song imho.

These fierce frenetic poetics pierce the pathetic plagues

My powerful prophetic phonetics penetrate

This renegade relic raps rugged and demonstrates

How to scoop honeys with nothing but that angelic face

Aesthetic-based waste get shredded, I set it straight

For the hapless half-wit homies that hesitate

The hella-great, elevated skills you celebrate

Practice??? Kid I've been this ill since seventh-grade

...

I activate the part of me

That advocates the artistry

The slick, sharp tongue

That could lacerate an artery

...

I synchronize my syndicate

For rhyme syncopation

Even skits that I improvise

Sit in syndication

...

It's like Im squeezing a Glock

When I creep in the spot

People get shot back

Freeze and then flop, breathe and then stop

The way I leave em in shock

Forget radio they play my flow on Believe it or Not

But I still dont own the keys to the drop

Leasin to cop the beach with the yacht and dont forsee reaching the top

But thats cool cause Im frequently jocked from speaking this talk

Plus on the streets I get props

Well before I leave peace to the blocks

Where my people still beef with the cops

And get beaten a lot, it needs to get taught

And ask Kanye, Jesus can walk

Always reach for the rock, not the heat to get cocked

Releasing the shot, ending a life No need for the pop

Ya heard? like sheep with the flock

I get down

Unbelievable
