    GZA

    Black Milk



    (GZA)

    Speaking of this art form, the slang is dangerous
    Emcees are like sperm cells, a gang of us
    Fighting to reach the egg, biting and lose a leg
    Odds are like 1 to 10 million, the kin thread
    One from a thousand speaks in his own voice
    The other 999, imitates without choice
    They never even knowing it, until the going gets rough
    You see the Amplified Sample I'm throwing with
    I grab the microphone, the unthinkable happens
    See the rockets red glare like the guns when clapping
    They still cage matching emcees that's scrapping
    Not the UFC, but my opponent is tapping
    So don't let a little bit of fear turn to hatred
    I was sent as a savior to revive what was sacred
    Also stop this uncalled for behavior
    And sipping back cats, they lack taste in flavor

    [Chorus]

    Got word from the wise to let it drop
    Set this on fire, take aim and let it pop
    Because regardless to whom or what, even the door shut
    I'm giving 'em straight raw, you bringing them all cut
    Like Bolivian rock, your watered down hip hop
    Raps so out of shape and far from tip top
    Pearls next to pebbles, spoons against shovels
    Dictators next to rebels, and Gods against devils

    (GZA)

    No time for backwards thinking, let's think ahead
    If you want to sleep when you awake then make your bed
    A lotta MC's came to see me on referrals
    Not even knowing that they would undergo great perils
    These cutting edge methods from the most specialized
    Faster than the last men, and before the dust'll fly
    The lord of the art, strikes a chord in your heart
    Your ear love to hear the God, ripping tracks apart
    Me to hip hop, is like Einstein to science
    A match made in heaven, most likely an alliance
    Complex individual that you dream of being
    Intellectual challenging, the all eye seeing
    Got an appetite for heat, so then come and bite the beat
    And digest the rest and don't stress the part, it couldn't be

    [Chorus]

    i'm digging black milk a lot on the boards!!!...but his rhyme skills are suspect.

    this joint would be a 4/5 if gza didnt have such a lazy flow, which really brings down a LOT of his songs.

    also, what EXACTLY does "7 pounds" mean? (heart?, brain?...???)
