No competition

No competition

Competition is noneI remain at the top like the sun
And I burn whoever come in the chambers of torture
I caught yayou shoulda brought ya
Neighborhood to support ya
No one in my path will withstand
Under pressure the wrath of a swift man
You name the daythe grounds to be neutral
Speak your piecethe feeling’s mutual
We can go topic from topic whenever I drop it
Try to stop it
In other wordswhat the brother heard
He tried to catch itbut what occurred
Was too much weight for one brain to take
Try to concentrate maintain then elevate
Program an ounce from pound to pound
The matter of weight can’t hold my mind down
Permanent damageI do away with
No time for funcause I don’t play with
Competitorsthere’s only one when I’m done
Competition is none

No competition

Competition is noneI’m the soul survivor
Mc’s get live but I get liver
It ain’t a memorexlive in concert
At every networkthe r the expert
Whoever goes against causes friction
Introduction music where’s the mixing
Ra will never dietools they never try
To beat or defeat mebecause whenever i
Put poetry in motion
From the nilethen out into the ocean
Three-fourths of water makes seven seas
A third of land three-sixty degrees
I circulate and remain to rotate
Seven days a week at a quake or a slow rate
Be prepared whenever I come
Competition is none
...
It’s no competition
...
Creatorthe alphabets let’s communicate
When I translate the situation’s straight
No dictionary’s necessary to use
Big words do nothing but confuse and lose
From the first stepa concept was kept
To the end of the rhymeit get more in-depth
All thoughts I come acrossmy mind’s the source
Made by the rof course
Seven holes in my face as I’m lookin out my window
Speak with the beat and it seem like the wind blows
Through the speakersI hear it so pump this
And we can fill up the whole circumfrence
With competitionon an impossible mission
Comin up with nothinkeep fishin
No runner upjust lost or forfeits
They all get butterfliessoon as the dog gets
Unlockedlines for blocks and blocks
Might be triflinto call the cops
Bring along paramedics
But that won’t help younot even calisthetics
I’m godg is the seventh letter made
Rainin on rappersthere’s no parade
So if you ain’t wisethen don’t even come
Competition for this inter mixin is none
...
It’sno competition
