Yo, a lot of rappers all pretend to be hard
Noticing that many rappers put on a front of toughness or strength.

Then they bitch when I mash up their memory hard
When challenged or called out for their fake demeanor, rappers get defensive and upset.

Lookin like they gonna cry

But if you punks want more then I have to 720 dump on ya
Warning that if the rappers want more of a confrontation, Mr. Lif is willing to go further and escalate the situation.

In turn my revolutions I am to go evolution
Going through a personal evolution or transformation through one's actions and beliefs.

Then I emerge superhuman to the this metamorphosis
Coming out of this change as a better, more evolved version of oneself, like a superhuman.

Ability to moarn and crust like in nature
Developing the ability to mourn and heal after going through a tough time, like the process of healing for crustaceans.

So I turn into a paiger
Becoming a leader or ruler who brings about positive change and order.

Ride ravens on the bone of your hip
Using a poetic metaphor to describe the intensity and power of his leadership and authority over others.

You come
Preparing the listener for a hypothetical situation.

With a blade I slit through your mid section
Imagining a violent response to someone who might oppose or challenge his leadership.

when I'm wreckin
Indicating that this violence would only occur during a conflict or challenge.

Then free the skin without protection
Describing a violent act that would leave no trace or identification of the perpetrator.

Leaving the cops without fingerprints, DNA or murder weapon
Further emphasizing the point that there would be no evidence or trace of the crime.

Next thing you know I list up for election
Juxtaposing this hypothetical violent act with a more positive and democratic act, running for political office.

And during my campane I bust your damn brain
Hypothetically defeating or outsmarting anyone who might oppose him while running for office.

I came t fulfil all your needsand demands
A political promise to serve the people's needs and wants.

So I start crushingall that stands with my hands
An ambitious statement indicating his ability to overcome any obstacle or challenge.

First command: resort back to the land
Announcing a specific goal upon gaining power: to return to more sustainable and eco-friendly ways of living.

I limit your throat - you can no longer expand
Describing a potential restriction on individual freedom in the name of serving a greater good.

I'll explain the cause of human life by a diagram
A boastful line underscoring his confidence and intelligence.
