Prime-One - Magnum Opus lyrics

1st verse I don't do gangsta rap,I'm far from that It's just not my niche,as a matter of fact I'll never remove that card from the deck When I can play the other fifty-one with sk** and acute intellect Twenty years in the game,no deal,no publicity But f** it,that wasn't in the plan initially If fate exists,then regardless of where it takes me My level exceeds that of any johnny-come-lately 'Cause if I ever build up the Six Sigma stables We'll be thoroughbreds reppin' more than a record label As an individual,I'm humble,but to be honest My rap philosophy is if I got it then I flaunt it But I keep my range of topics macroscopic but Occasionally,I get co*ky when I write the flow and drop it Difference is,my delivery's more explicitly Exquisite,it's evident when I present this exhibit,see Chorus When I approach this rap sh** ,I'm focused Compose this great work,spit the magnum opus Bid hopeless cases buenos noches And drive the final nail into the coffin when it closes 2nd verse When it comes to greatness,though you may not want to admit it I eat,sleep,breathe, sh**,and spit it I harnessed the gift in which I was given Even if my words are heard by only a few ears,I'm still driven To reach higher heights while diggin' deep Simultaneously,I planted the seed Cream of the crop is what I reap I'm the clock alarm that shakes and wakes you Out of a somber state of sleep Perhaps you ought to consider a different course of action A different approach altogether when it comes to rappin' I'm only nauseated by cliches,so I formulate new ways To set the game forward into a new phase Shed light with new rays,I bring promise And come around once in a lifetime like Halley's Comet So when it comes to gettin' the wheels turning,I'm on it Stagnation's like emetic,just enough'll make me vomit (chorus) 3rd verse I'll never simplify the words I use to express The complex but scientific mind that I possess That's what sets me apart from the rest It's like I'm caressin' your throat with a knife when I recite this text But some would argue that I lack the right to MC 'Cause I'm Caucasian,Canadian,that's two strikes against me Therefore I'm clueless as to what the truth is About what other rappers address in their music,I've been through it I'm not some new kid on the block and I'm far from stupid So all your non-informed opinions you can spin can be refuted I gather the facts then state my case Give you my takes,stand firm in my place To these fakes,I'm the ultraviolet light that detects 'em Across the spectrum to the infrared beam that gets 'em sweatin' Bullets,finger on the trigger,poised to pull it And bombard 'em with enough lead 'till their whole capacity's full with it (Chorus)
