I don't play with blickies, nah
With them heaters, nah
Nines on the side, every time, ain’t discreet, nah
Phenomenology in my mind, Husserl’s deep, bruh
Heat tucked, in the street, we don't sleep, nah
I keep it west side, fast ride, high tempo, ah
250 on the beat, watch me let go, ah
Spitting truth on the beat like a young preacher, ooh
Living every word I spit from my soul's ether, ah
Catch me in the daylight, or in the moon's glow, ah
Ain't about violence, it's about the mind's fight, ah
Streets educated, philosophy my birthright, yeah
Meditations on existence, on the block's edge, ooh
Each breath a testament of life, so I pledge, ah
Livin' beyond the steel, ideas my real shield, ooh ah
My dialectic sharper than any fielded gun yield, pshh
Knowledge my ammunition in this concrete jungle, pah
Back to the essence, where the street and thought tangle, psshhhh
At the core of my being, where the real thugs know, swhay
Wisdom over weapons, that's the true gangsta flow, ooooooooooooahoooeeey
I keep it clear, like my vision, ain't no smoke, ah
Not the kinda g that needs to fire, that’s no joke, ah
Out here grindin', hustlin' with wisdom, that’s the key, ah
Eyes on the prize, mind on the rise, can’t you see, ah
Scribin' in my journal, got insights, ooh ah
Breakin' down phenomena like daylight, pshh
Inner streets I roam, Hume on the philosophy, pah
Empiricist in thought, but my life's no tragedy, psshhhh
Got no time for weapons, except my mental artillery, swhay
Droppin' bars like theories, profound and shiver-inducingly, ooooooooooooahoooeeey
In the game, it's all mind, yeah, that's the play, ah
Break it down like Kant, every night, every day, ooh ah
Critique of pure reason, no time to stray, pshh
Aim my consciousness like a sniper, far away, pah
Living life on a quest for the categorical, uh
Moral imperatives, my rhymes are allegorical, ooh ah
Kicking logic with a beat, gettin' historical, pshh
With every line and every rhyme, I'm memorial, pah
With the thinkers of the past as my guide, ooh ah
I navigate the hood with that inner pride, pshh
