Ashes To Ashes - Blackalicious

«Dude, when you want me to come in?»

«Four bars»

«K, check it»

The ink flows

As if I’m not here

Styles fall

From the mentally odd

And quite weird

Mic

Y’all want to enter my yard

My lightyear flow

Strikes with precision for all

I’m right here

With raw inner vision beyond your sight, hearing

And beyond all your senses

I draw the light nearer you

A flawed individual, dawg, I write sheer

Elegance

I’m a bottle of Dawn.

You’re like Nair

So now I’m perfecting this style;

It’s like lairs

Of a foul dragon

Send MC’s ridden with nightmares

Better pause

Before you spitting that garbage you write

Yeah!

I’ma call

Telling niggas to quit on the mic

Period

Because I’ve been given this right tonight

We’re gonna floor you with lyrics

These suckas are not near;

They are far from abilities I ignite

Dare you to start something with me

I don’t ever fight fair

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

We are the crew called Blackalicious

We came to rock for you and yours

Put your arms in the air, your feet on the floor

Guaranteed to give you what you paid your money for

Cause the Blackalicious Crew got rhymes galore

Rhymes galore

I’ve got talent

These critics do not have

Still, they write like some type of authority on rap

Really?

Like they opinion is worthy!

I’m like, «After you make worthy music

Then come and be that cat, Jack!»

Plummeting rap

Yeah, that’s that

Period.

Done.

Then get checks from ASCAP

Just give me a drum

I’ma spark the last match

Y’all hit it with one rhythm

Do it

I’ll smash that

My meridians hum;

I’m so lyrically advanced

I deliver it from within

Leaving you lads back

In millenniums dumb

Because really, I’m passed that

I’m a million and one styles further

Now catch that!

(Catch that!)

I was born to murder your rap, Black

Alerted to that fact

You’re certain to have crap

To say

Then get slain

And hurt as I lash back

And verbally ransack

Your turf

And leave cats flat!

AAH!

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

We are the crew called Blackalicious

We came to rock for you and yours

Put your arms in the air, your feet on the floor

Guaranteed to give you what you paid your money for

Cause the Blackalicious Crew got rhymes galore

Rhymes galore
