To all those who've been born blind
this is the horn line to form rhymes that get you hit in your soul, bodied
not with a shotty but with a melodic gold mine from all the greats
who made moves, busted chops, dodged cops, handled the rock
sashayed late night on the block where all the felines flocked
this ones for Pops, Count, Duke and what nots
I'm a make sure that this one knocks
raise the horn, life was born
to a lyrical sound that can't be topped' can't be stopped
Mingus did, so I'ma have to bring this Kid
like my name was Ory on the second line
this be heavier than Buddy Bolden off the moonshine, time to grind
get on my shine/switch it up like Miles Davis on his grind
Keep it swinging for the young kids to the old folks
snare drum thick like rolled oats, play some mo' cold notes
flip it back giving beboppers the blue coats
hard pressed like a Blakey sound, dumbfounded yet astounded
we rich, buddy snapback on some fatback
putting grease on the track yeah, we hitting and that's a straight up fact
you can't handle it? Then be like Ray and hit the road Jack
but before you leave Imma lace you up with a lyrical jazz stack
from a jazz cat, to keep your mind flowing
leave your soul glowing
so stop groaning
get hip to the script, we leaving all the rest moaning
in a pursuance, well pursue dis
so I suggest everyone do your research
run ahead, add it to your number one list
