Return
mr.Sth Lyrics

Seconds after I have been swept off my feet
Immediately after being completely captivated

Open through the doors and in steps the beat
The music enters and takes control

Complete with medical packs and four fours
Prepared with tools and weapons

Looked at me and said 'damn this nigga need god'
Realizing the struggle and need for help

Bored, apart in the streets he got beat
Feeling disconnected and defeated

The meat, a disinfranchised he left wheat
The core, feeling alienated, abandoned hope

Me, these images I could'nt ignore
I couldn't ignore the visions

Personas of the rhythm who just walked through the store
Representations of the music itself entering my life

This man's slim, sported a red glim, notcing damage within
This man is thin, with a hint of danger, recognizing internal wounds

We remove bullets and pack skin
We heal wounds and protect the vulnerable

The kickdrum slur reopen my eyes, he say don't worry
The music intensifies and brings back awareness, assuring me

At the clerk he say don't fire rounds in the flurry
He warns against hasty actions in chaotic moments

And I have bad, tied the hostages with his gat
And I, feeling anger, held the hostages with his gun

Told 'em break the fuck out and never look back
Instructed them to escape and move on

They have the form like meiogy for the kamikaze
They possess an appearance like the preparation for a suicide mission

Then they got me walking out pass the local paparazzi
Then they guided me past the media attention

I see y'all re animated, sure kick get damned a flavor
I see everyone coming back to life, bringing an undeniable energy

We came to save ya and we came to, pull back the data
We arrived to rescue and retrieve valuable information

I repay a major situation across town, my music is lost sound
I address a significant issue in the city, my music is neglected

Cause they had us locked down
Because they had us confined and restrained

They meaning sucka rappers had us heard past
They, referring to mediocre rappers, had us fooled in the past

Comic clowns who be making shit sounds and laughs
Amateur performers who create meaningless music and jokes

Then they facing masteries, just fittin lack of pieces
Then they encounter skilled artists, realizing their own lack of talent

what's dope and hope that we accept the wack atheists, jesus
They try to pass off mediocre work and hope we accept it, comparing themselves to nonbelievers

where's the chamber? Allow me the become the scum rearranged uh
Where can I find the source of power? Let me transform the undesirables

They said 'focus ya anger' and bring the rhymes that you wrote
They told me to channel my anger and perform the lyrics I prepared

Because these folks will hang ya
Because these people will criticize and attack me

I accepted their concerns turn to him and said
I acknowledged their worries, then turned to him and responded

'fuck that written shit I'll flip that kid off the head'
I reject the idea of pre-written lyrics and decide to freestyle

What about the feds? Ayo we left them a decoy
What about the authorities? We tricked them with a distraction

We didn't want the beats to know we brought back the be-Boy
We didn't want the music industry to realize we revived the essence of hip-hop

Hip hop is so wack, the beats are fighting back
Hip-hop has become weak, but the music is trying to regain strength

And I was sent to attack, so I'm following the map
I was sent on a mission to confront and challenge the status quo

X's mark the rappers out with two head with
Symbols mark the rappers who have lost touch with their true essence

Furocious cademies that only need with the next spliff
Intense academies that thrive on the next moment of inspiration

Step by step I'm headed toward the set to analyze the threat
I proceed cautiously towards the stage to assess the enemy

And make him regret, the day that we met
And make him feel remorse for crossing paths with me

I suspect he got a smooth box, I head into the rooftops
I suspect he has a hidden weapon, so I move to higher ground

Where I'll make me strategy so I can splatter them
Where I'll devise my plan to defeat them convincingly

They were only half of them, five less rappers alive
There were only a few of them left, five less rappers remaining

So we can vibe the stand and then, dope they didn't coincide
So we can create a harmonious atmosphere, but they didn't fit in

They were half religious, and vicious, with dark wishes
They were partly devoted to their craft, and cruel, with sinister intentions

Which is to assure the core of hip hop which is snitches
Which is to protect the essence of hip-hop from informants

I dropped dimes on how to travel back in time
I shared valuable information on time travel

So they can melt and miss the nine pioneers patterns to rhyme
So they can vanish and lose out on the knowledge of the original rap pioneers

And I'm furious, seething at what I'm seeing
And I'm enraged, overwhelmed by what I witness

Soon those niggaz won't be breathing
Soon those individuals won't be alive

I've seen what I got so I'm leaving
I've seen what I have accomplished, so I'm moving on

Cause I want to, set up to stop up for the evening
Because I desire to prepare for the upcoming event

Niggaz hopped on my shitlist with a swiftness
Individuals quickly angered me and made it on my list of enemies

I'm about to rip this, come fear witness
I'm about to showcase my skills, so be prepared to be amazed

Mic Check!
Testing the microphone

We had ill static, over illmatic, I reached for it
We had incredible controversy, over an iconic album, I couldn't resist

This nigga said I couldnt have it
This person claimed I couldn't possess it

So tragic they try to counter my magic, I'm rabid
It's a tragedy that they attempt to oppose my talent, I'm furious

I reached for his fuckin face and grabbed it
I aggressively grabbed his face

Nigga, how the fuck did you figure
Dude, how do you even come to that conclusion?

You can Interfere with the music so potent
You think you can disrupt the powerful music

That I need to just go for a moment
That I need to unleash my talent

Before I moved on.
Before I continue with my journey.

Then I heard two songs
Then I heard two powerful tracks

Spit flavor from those head up the 36 chambers
Filled with flavor like the influential Wu-Tang Clan album 'Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)'

I'm about to bring this nigga danger
I'm about to cause serious harm to this person

He was illucive an uncle tom carry a nuciance
He was elusive, a sell-out, causing trouble

Strong and spiritually useless
Strong physically but spiritually empty

I gave him flashbacks, of niggaz gettin treated like labrats
I reminded him of the mistreatment of Black individuals

Beatin with sticks and straps
Being physically abused

Hidden with conscience, held a mirror up to his face
Awakening his conscience, showing him the truth

The motherfucker jetted out of the place
He quickly fled the scene

Who's next to get me vexed this rapper making idle threats
Who's the next one to anger me, this rapper making meaningless threats

Claiming that he got contacts, I stepped to him slow
Claiming that he has influential connections, I approached him calmly

Looked deep in his eyes, see another person was within him
Looked deeply into his eyes and saw another entity behind them

Cause he's living a lie
Because he's living a false reality

A rap nearly operation
A surgical procedure in the world of rap

Told him that man was not meant to leave earth's population
Informed him that humans were not meant to destroy the earth

These talks left him pacing, now he suffers from brain disintergration
These discussions made him worried and now he experiences mental deterioration

No thoughts or information, it started raining visibility low
No thoughts or knowledge remaining, the visibility decreased due to rain

This had no effects on my abilities though
But it didn't affect my skills and talents

To murder an MC is standing procedure
To kill a fellow rapper is common practice

Looked and see this cat gone follow the leader
Looked and noticed this person imitating others

But I'm a cheater, the abdomen and chester leader
But I'm a trickster, the mastermind and the one in control

The primary feature, my intense earth to to bleed ya
The main attraction, my powerful presence to dominate you

All this blood stream, and I'm steadily aiming
This overflowing blood and I'm consistently targeting

To find the next nigga for naming
To identify the next person to challenge

That's when the death sticks came in, hand me
That's when the deadly weapons became available, give them to me

This mega large nigga tried to brand me
This huge person tried to label and control me

I thought the mega blast to enemies
I considered launching a massive attack on my foes

Then my mind aged to centuries
Then my mind felt ancient, like it had existed for centuries

Futuristic data, for a complex matter
Advanced information, for a complicated situation

This power left to cater, I can compete with the equator
This power is mine to manipulate, I can rival the intensity of the equator

Smiled I can see him through the earth's vapors
I smiled, I can see him through the mist around us

Looked him up and down, as we walked toward solid ground
Examined him from head to toe, as we moved towards stable ground

What mind, jaw dropped looked what I found
I was shocked by what I discovered

Classics like Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, EMPD and RUN DMC
Classic hip-hop groups like A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, EMPD, and RUN DMC

But when we get three feet
But when we come closer

Criminal mind takes a nation a mill, Time to kill
A criminal mindset impacts society, time for destruction

Run DMC self titled, this nigga my arch rival
Run DMC's self-titled album, this person is my main competitor

Survival, not liable, got up close and what I signed couldnt believe
Surviving, not responsible, got close and couldn't believe what I saw

My enemy was a genetic replica of me
My opponent was someone identical to me

That means self is the biggest tour
That means facing myself is the greatest challenge

It could me the bigger fall, a truly vicious type of war
It could result in my downfall, a brutal and intense war

So now I'm thrown off, taken back to back, I didn't know how to react
So now I'm disoriented, caught off guard, unsure how to respond

To lack a plan of attack, but it was in full effect, connect
Lacking a specific strategy, but the battle was in motion, making connections

He didn't affect my intellect, but thoughts I couldnt accept
He didn't impact my intelligence, but his thoughts were difficult for me to agree with

Images of my grandmother in that old folks home
Memories of my grandmother in the nursing home

Became Very vivid in my dome, this method of rap is telepathic
Became extremely clear in my mind, this style of rap is telepathic

Damage of my mental fabric, hell a vibe or I have it
Causing harm to my mental state, creating a negative atmosphere around me

Criminal I can't stand it, or understand it yet my torture was expanded
I can't tolerate or comprehend this criminal behavior, yet my suffering increased

By thoughts that he commanded, had a vision of my uncle sitting down
By his dominating thoughts, I had a vision of my uncle sitting alone

By himself, meanwhile he's breaking down my physical health
Alone, while he's deteriorating my physical well-being

Chronicle inseperable thoughts, to my head
Unending thoughts, constantly present in my mind

98 percent of which were absorbed by my dreads
98 percent of which were absorbed by my hair

The other 2 percent I accepted, just so I can feel the heat again
The remaining 2 percent I embraced, just to feel the passion again

Had a vision of my defeat of him
Envisioned my victory over him

So now I'm back, strapped and intact
So now I'm back, equipped and ready

Increasing my brain waves to maximum impact
Amplifying my mental power to its maximum potential

Thoughts were un holdly, slowly up he looked me up and down coldly
My thoughts were relentless, he looked at me coldly from top to bottom

Like I'm the motherfuckin chrome be
Treating me like I'm the ultimate enemy

And I am damned I dropped the mic from my hand
And I am cursed, I let go of the microphone

Saw some open land so I ranned
Saw an opportunity to escape, so I ran

But as the gem has past hearts, my man had blast shots
But as time passed, my companion started shooting

Bloodcots stopped ciculation from my nog
Blood clots blocked circulation to my brain

My ego's dead my humiliation to mumble feeble shit
My pride is shattered, and I can only mumble weak words

Suddenly had a dream of desert eagle clips
Suddenly had a vision of powerful weapons

So who's me, maybe this oozie, cold hard and steel
So who am I, perhaps I am the weapon, cold and unyielding

With a sign that says use me
With a message indicating that it should be utilized

I call on Susie, and tell what you see
I call on my weapon, and ask it to reveal what it sees

Usually, I wouldn't let a biter confuse me
Normally, I wouldn't let someone imitate me and cause confusion

Much of this instance, make a difference
In this moment, make an impact

So started to think with, the innocence fit infants incents of incest
So I began to think with a pure mindset, blending the innocence of children and the taboo of incest

Burn in inscents, I'm intense
Ignite the incense to create a strong aroma, I'm intense

Funny how the powerful scent just dense his senses
Ironically, the potent scent overwhelms his senses

don't even comment on the senses, I sent this razor sharp tone
Don't even question my senses, I conveyed this cutting-edge message

To relentless, sequences that leap fences
To unyielding, unstoppable sequences that overcome obstacles

beating all human kind to defenseless
Conquering all of humanity, leaving them helpless

So I shift for, never sick for
So I adjust, never feeling ill or weak

with a swift sword, clipped and flipped this mic for
with a quick and precise strike, I grabbed and flipped this microphone

Speechless, never wit weakness
Unable to speak, never showing weakness

he tried to use the heat of his desire to beat Lif
He tried to use his intense determination to defeat Lif

Be my guest, take a guess who was left to mess
Go ahead, guess who was left to deal with the aftermath

And at peace request
And request peace

I summoned the sun to burn a whole in his chest
I called upon the power of the sun to create a hole in his chest

[Mr. Lif Talking to the end]
Mr. Lif continues the conversation until the end
