Album: The 18th Letter

Stay Awhile Lyrics

What uhh yo 

Just when things seemed the same and the whole scene is lame 

I come and reign with the unexplained for the brains till things change 

They strain to slang sling I'm trained to bring game 

History that I arranged been regained by King James 

Go to practice with tactics when the track hits theatrics 

Women that look like actress the status of Cleopatra's 

Stacks of mathematics took the ?ego-a-geatics? 

As I find out, what the facts is, for geographic 

No time to sip Mo's with hostess, never mind what the total gross is 

I rip shows, stay focused, and split cheese, with soldiers 

While you hit trees and coast I spit flows that be ferocious 

And with these explosives, I split seas for Moses 

Shine permanently only my mind's concernin me 

Fire burns in me eternally time's eternity 

Followers turn on me they'll be in a mental infirmary 

Determinely advance technology better than Germany 

Since the first days you know of, till the last days is over 

I was always the flow-er, I made waves for Noah 

From a compound, to the anatomy, to the breakdown of a atom 

Some of my rap patterns, still surround Saturn 

From the ancient Hieroglyphics, to graffiti painted pictures 

I study I know the scriptures but nowaday ain't it vicious 

Date back I go beyond check the holy Qu'ran 

To speeches at the altar on, now we get our party on 

So being benificent, I bless em with dialogue 

They expectin, the next testament by the God 

I blow em through battlezones with chrome for chaperone 

Blast beats with saxophones one of the baddest rapper's known 

Every country city and borough, sidestreet and ghetto 

isle and alley and meadow theories ferile enough to echo 

When it was one mass of land, with one nash' of man 

And the whole mass was ran under one master plan 

Since the world's metamorphis, and the plan is kept in orbit 

Turntables we spin off but the needles never skip off it 

Rhythms we expressin similar to our ancestors 

It'll answer your questions if you understand the message 

From the days of the slave choppers?, to the new age of prophets 

As heavy as hip-hop is I'm always ready to drop it 

from the mind which is one of Allah's best designs 

And mines'll stand the test of time, when I rhyme 

The 18th Letter, the prophesy professor 

I stay clever, long as the planet stay together 

Bring up praise from Mecca, make a phrase for the better 

In new days to remember, always and forever 

(repeat 2X) 

The R baby
