I remember workin' in the basement while you were on the slave-ship
Couldn't take no more of the plantation
I had to escape it, Django Unchained with the language
And couldn't nobody tell me I ain't sick
You heard Cornel, this Nas meets Bernie Worrell
Black erudite Kim Burrell you're welcome
To debate whether he changed the landscape
With a lack of convention every record the man makes
I'ma chameleon, I'm a cha, I'm a cha
I'm a chameleon, I'm a chameleon
I'm a chameleon, I'm a cha, I'm a chameleon
I'ma come killing with flow that is brilliant
Let me know that you feeling it
Let me pinch you, let me know that you feel a pinch
That you still exist, militant, I ain't down with the cooning
In the lab O. Savant craft sounds of the cooning[?]
What am I doing sounding like I just got started?
Like I'm strugglin' in somebody's apartment
Like a artist that's starvin'
Like I haven't cracked and cornered the market
And created my own marketing plan I am enormous
Not what the norm is, I am a nuisance
The architect and the blueprint, tunes that just ooze in-
Side of my pores as soon as the groove hits
Asymmetric music, cool kid like Bahamadia makin' a baby with Q-Tip
To a old school hit, old school sh*t with a new school twist
It's kinda like listenin' to Patti LaBelle on a YouTube clip
That's only thirty-six seconds I move too quick
Or I Youtube them to pick up the obvious, these are mental collages
Genius, f*ck genres
