Respect The Architect

[00:02.75] So respect the architect, the architect
[00:08.15] So respect the architect, the architect
[00:13.57] So respect the architect, the architect
[00:18.12] So respect the architect, as I begin to build
[00:21.71] I'm mystical, don't be deceived by the visual
[00:23.51] Visible preference is pure, patent it back to metaphors
[00:26.24] Greetin' 'em illa-del-style wild
[00:28.06] Analyze my memoirs, runnin' on 8/4, poetic, meter
[00:31.62] Soarin' way beyond
[00:33.42] I am bic pentameter, or Juvenile flam
[00:36.13] Unsyncopated soul piercin' earlobes and egos
[00:38.01] My vocals read these thoughts
[00:40.77] Am I hardcore to the grain?
[00:41.62] Lame game plain Jane MC's can't approach these
[00:44.33] I shake chumps like fleas, I hold the keys
[00:47.03] To drive you, guide you, provide you
[00:49.78] With the real joints, ahem I clear my throat of phlegm
[00:52.45] The architect, selecting the blueprints
[00:54.29] To rid the game of nuisance
[00:56.14] Sucker reducin' with the fusion
[00:57.09] Rhymes solid like cement in my musical solution
[00:59.77] Stackin' concrete flows, look out below
[01:02.48] So respect the architect
[01:07.88] So respect the architect
[01:12.30] Rhymes get all up in your grill like freckles
[01:15.03] Most MC's couldn't see me, with bifocal spectacles
[01:17.87] There's no protectin' you, with realness, I'm wreckin' you
[01:21.46] I'm beggin' you, take a look into the cypher
[01:23.26] You're dirt on my windshield, so I'm turnin' on my wipers
[01:25.91] And I can see clearly now, no other rapper is near me now
[01:31.34] And all you perpetrators, shall fear me now
[01:34.12] Never flip folklores, only realness coincide
[01:35.97] With the rhythm like I did with total wreck
[01:38.61] Respect the architect in this division
[01:40.45] Rhymes written to be hittin' like anti proton collisions
[01:42.28] Rap newest edition, bringin' the feminine in renditions
[01:44.93] In, rare form, defined as optimal for my pedigrees
[01:47.69] In skill three like three-sixty degrees as in well-rounded
[01:50.35] Leavin' the competition dumb founded
[01:52.16] For when I catch wreck, I astound
[01:54.91] So respect the architect, the architect
[01:59.48] So respect the architect, the architect
[02:04.87] So respect the architect, the architect
[02:10.29] So respect the architect, as I begin to build
[02:15.71] Floor to ceiling, constantly building
[02:17.50] With power to construct, towers of rap cream kid, what?
[02:21.13] Dreamin' you're lyrical, physical, mystical
[02:23.00] Your concept's mediocre, plus your way too typical withcha
[02:26.56] Corny delivery and crazy wack voice
[02:28.32] Mad corny image, that's why I give you jitters
[02:31.03] It figures, I'd have to dust you off the scene
[02:33.85] Like a wise guy, with my New York lean
[02:36.50] Lines that I supply fortify the nuclei of mind state
[02:39.21] From state to state, universal, be the orals that I create
[02:41.95] Top notch and on lock like sentry, opponents could never tempt me
[02:44.60] Samplin' my style like an Akai S-950 and still can't get with me
[02:47.34] While I spread this verbal plague like bubonic
[02:49.12] Conduction phonics like the philharmonics
[02:51.97] I make in measured melody, kids praise me like the crucifix
[02:54.61] So place Bahamadia, amongst your top ten of MC's
[02:57.33] So respect the architect, the architect
[03:02.72] So respect the architect, the architect
[03:07.23] So respect the architect, the architect
[03:12.71] So respect the architect, as I begin to build
[03:19.04] Yeah, never ending, knahmsayin? Always buildin'
[03:25.38] My home girl Bahamadia in the hidouse, yeah, yeah
[03:29.00] And of course, my man the legend, Ramsey Lewis
[03:33.58] So respect the architect, knahmsayin? One love
[03:43.48]
