Intro
G.O.D. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm the Original E in effect, y'all
Takin out wacks in the place and I can't fall
Freakin the beat, the beat I freak, I'm unique and superb
Down with Rap-A-Lot, here's a curve

Cool like The Mack, in fact I'm not a new jack
But I'm funky with hype lyrics and a dope track
I cannot miss when I shoot to kill, set to ill
You want me to chill? You better kneel

Stop all the talk you're talkin
And keep on walkin that walk that you're walkin
You set yourself up for failure, let me tell ya
You can't go with the flow, brother, I dare ya

As I flow from the intro the party's packed
MC's are terrified as I ransack
State your claim, bub, join my fanclub
This ain't a lip sync and I don't dub

I just surpass MC's cause it's me they fear
Lights out, hands were dead when the smoke cleared
You want to go against the E? This ain't a Rambo
I'm just flowin from the intro, you know?

OG's housin, know what I'm sayin, black?
So you brothers on my tip, it ain't all that
Wick-wack you're talkin, playin me close-bound
Actin like you want a showdown and get clowned

I'ma activate while I captivate
MC's I take out, yo, that's the breaks
I'ma take it to the top keepin the mic hot
I disturb the inner body like a bloodclot

So don't try me son, cause I ain't the one
Last brother that tried, broke out the shotgun




May he rest in peace, he couldn't really go
'Cause I like to flow from the intro

I am in a state of shock. I didn't recognise you at first but you were actually my guitar teacher in high school!

Edit: answering some common questions in the replies.

Venue: Local high school, Scotland, every Saturday 2010?-2013
(he wasn't my first teacher)

Songs I learned: Classical gas, take 5, peppermint rag, vivaldi concerto for guitar, under the bridge to name a few.

Fun fact: When he taught me how to play harmonics, he'd play them with his nose to demonstrate how delicately you had to press on the frets.

@johndudeman

@@isaakrhynes976 well we didn't learn any polyphia lol

@ToneWoN

@@isaakrhynes976 It is up to you to be good. THERE IS UNLIMITED videos and information about guitar and guitar playing. I mean you can YouTube and cover and learn it. Also get tabs. They have online classes that are cheap that teach you classical style picking or music theory etc. You just sound like a joke, full of excuses.
