Still breathing, I’m still winning. Word to Nas. Forever on my grind, I rep 21-5. Where everyday the goal is survive. But at some point we all gotta thrive. Crown on my head, thoughts circle my mind. How to make it last, make it to the sublime. Learn from the steps I take everytime. Basquiat, draw, measure the line. Open your eyes, seek & you will find. Open your mind, no don’t let it lie. Put it in a zone where it never flies. The growth shown will leave you mesmerized. Naysayers pay me in neverminds. Many times they said I’d never rise. Yet every time I make it to my sublime. It’s in my name, Forever all in my Prime. Let’s go. What you gonna rhyme forever? Nobody cares, you gonna open mic forever? Take the stairs, what you gonna climb forever? Ain’t on the air, what you gonna rhyme forever? They say a failure is my life forever. Nevermind I went and got my life together. Or I rap circles round em cause my writing’s better. 215 I’m a product of the grind forever. Keep it a bean I’m appraised by my streams. Look, water is wet, it all ain’t what it seems. Put my life on the line, and the writing between. Go open your mind, just witness to the scene. I’ll forever be fly, y’all are just vanity. Look, I’m dotting my Is, and I’m crossing my Ts. So when the hype dies, y’all will scatter like beasts. Get caught in a jam, you’re crossing your team. I’m Tanahashi meets Ta-Nehisi. High Fly Flow, the world & just me. World is yours, and you will just see. Word to the Ruler, truthfully. Look, where it’s shallow I keep depth. Make it last forever, I am not Keith Sweat. No nonsense, I always keep jest. Product of The Kane, never a weak step. I feel like I was put here to make you think. And drop jewels like what you buy with bread from a Brinks. Swinging for the fence and I’m throwing the sink. And I got my ticket for when that fat lady sings. Never will I know what tomorrow will bring. What I know is long as I breathe I’m doing my thing. From the first bell till when the 2nd will ring. Y’all never ever gonna be taking the crown from the King. Let’s Go.

(Verse 1 - D Prime 215) I’m a Philly Representer Size 10 Air Stepper. My reputation precedes me, something like a legend. I gave you the truth, others they tried to stretch it. Student of the Roots, see I studied my lesson. I apply pressure like ZSJ. Either way, I’m always on time, no delay. I’m the Flyest you've ever seen, go and peep D lay. The bed is the only place that D will lay. Rockabye Baby go rock away. When you’re sound asleep, I got the stock made. And when you wake, I lapped your whole brigade. The safest place to hide is right up in your face. Story of my life every single day. Underrate but great simultaneously. Barely anyone is hanging with me. Beats, Rhymes, Nikes on my feet, my cypher complete. Go. (Verse 2 - Tragic) Beware of the savage. They not prepared for the madness. These bad kids might just leave yo ass badly embarrassed. Tragic’s appearance is like ghost’s shattering mirrors. You get stabbed first, then see your reflection after you feel it. We back to building, started in the back of the building. Escaping the trap by trapping, we ain’t civilians. They say there’s paper in rap, wait till the bills come. We ain’t them fakers that’s acting we be the real ones. Nike tech suit, soon as they flex, step, shoot. We the ones that’s running the track, while they run for refuge. They keep on running it back cause we something special. We feeling like I’m running up laps, so I keep the best shoes. Fly wizardry, move with a god’s chemistry. A Don literally, fashioned in artillery. Really be running through beats, I never sleep. I keep Nike’s on my feet to keep my cypher complete (Verse 3 - Stevie Franks) Black Air Force Energy, right cross first then it’s sympathy. Pushing it to the Max that’s a win for me. I gotta take aim for that kill shot. From a real block where I seen fiends walk with a ill bop. Stomping in my blazers, nah not the suit type. Got all different flavors, know I gotta choose right Known to move like I got one more chance Get done off hand, because you like to run off scams I’m the type to run off grands, the large type. Rocking something I can run off land, the hard type. Gotta pause that. Run the whole game, that’s a long lap. Cross train like an x line or a cross hatch. Got my foot up on the gas like zoom zoom. Do her dirty in my Dunks like boom boom. Even though it’s light work, it’s a heavy thing Salute Nike, now I’m killing everything.

(Hook) All or nothing now, going all in my duffle. King with the crown and I walk on the humble. Gotta rock steady ain’t no time for the stumble. When I got the ball, the God never fumble. Said it’s all or nothing now, going all in my duffle. King with the crown and I walk on the humble. Gotta rock steady ain’t no time for the stumble. When I got the ball, the God never fumble. (Verse 1) Heavy is the head for the crown that I rock. Sound like my city it’s the sound of my block. Flyness surrounded by the sound of the cops. Arriving shortly after the sound of the shots. Can you blame it? Flyness mixed all with the heinous. Followed by the gentrifying of the pavement. I stand tall, but yet I feel Jaded. Made me fall back and look at it like wait a minute. Nah, you can’t put me in a box. I’m a fan of Dilla, Pharcyde & The LOX. I do it for my city, so give me all my props. More than one dimension, 215 for the drop. (Bridge 2x) Knock em out the box Prime. Knock em out Prime. Knock em out the box Prime. Knock em out. (Hook) All or nothing now, going all in my duffle. King with the crown and I walk on the humble. Gotta rock steady ain’t no time for the stumble. When I got the ball, the God never fumble. Said it’s all or nothing now, going all in my duffle. King with the crown and I walk on the humble. Gotta rock steady ain’t no time for the stumble. When I got the ball, the God never fumble. (Verse 2) I’m bigger than the box that you put me in. The tables turned, I’m on the outside looking in. Now I’m fly & for y’all it is looking grim. I found the answer in the mirror & looked within. The Ruler said the world is mine and it truly spins. Coming from 215 where they shooting clips. Cot Damn it’s a new day, yes it is. Double meaning, but I’m sharp so I never miss. My bag I’m forever in. I’m Blazing trails & I’m setting trends. Even if I take a L, it’s another win. Because I learn and set up for a bigger win. (Bridge 2x) Knock em out the box Prime. Knock em out Prime. Knock em out the box Prime. Knock em out. (Hook) All or nothing now, going all in my duffle. King with the crown and I walk on the humble. Gotta rock steady ain’t no time for the stumble. When I got the ball, the God never fumble. Said it’s all or nothing now, going all in my duffle. King with the crown and I walk on the humble. Gotta rock steady ain’t no time for the stumble. When I got the ball, the God never fumble. (Outro) Here they come yo, here they come. Here they come yo, here they come. What What. Here they come yo, here they come. Here they come yo, here they come. What What. Here they come yo, here they come. Here they come yo, here they come. What What. Here they come yo, here they come. Here they come yo, here they come. Talk to em like.

It’s like I’m paranoid looking over my back. It’s like Linkin Park meets Respond / React. And I’m forever sharp where I’m walking at. It can get dark whenever on the map. So always keep your guard intact. But, never move like food that’s trapped. Cause dudes move to the smell of that. Which dims the lights where you at. Remember, you don’t wanna be where the lights get dimmer. In a hallway where they simmer sauté with the arms all day. Lesson A from The Notorious. Glorious. Believe the unbelievable. Dudes in Philly never been to the field but they let the Eagles go. It tells you everything that you need to know. Teddy tied to the pole where the reaper go. If it’s pride, misguided direction. Or rotten pigs flying into your section. Word to 36 protect where your neck is. Worth more than the jewels up in your necklace. Move like Thor with the hammer in the back. My words sting word to my zodiac. I wanna roll in peace like a song by kodak. Rock a Jesus Piece, bodies on the map. I draw art from dichotomies, eyes like Neji on every side of me. Don’t hold my breath for most, like the lottery. You only shock me when you don’t lie to me. Honestly, I’m getting what they got for me. And anything I put my mind to, see. They ask how I’m doing, I’m surviving my years. Focus on the grind when unclogging my gears. Got a lot of pain barely dropping a tear. Scarred like Sagat, I forgot how to heal. And the camouflage got it concealed. Pick apart the rhyme it gets revealed. I’m like, what more can I say? I’m not an open book, y’all don’t read anyway. I’m ice cold with my pen like Hemingway. Maestro in the zone and I let it spray. I’m like Picasso with graffiti paint. Or when the 18 Letter CD Play. Picky with my words, say what I need to say. Understand it was written in my DNA. Like, do you believe what you’ve seen today? Like how some kill then they seem to pray? Or how actions don’t match what they say? Or how they act like there’s just another day. Or how they go & spray without a care or aim. Damn, let it be as it may. But stand tall at the end of the day. And that’s word. It’s like I’m paranoid looking over my back. It’s like Linkin Park meets Respond / React. And I’m forever sharp where I’m walking at. It can get dark whenever on the map. So always keep your guard intact. But, never move like food that’s trapped. Cause dudes move to the smell of that. Which dims the lights where you at. It’s like I’m paranoid looking over my back. It’s like Linkin Park meets Respond / React. And I move sharp where I’m walking at. It can get dark whenever on the map. And say word.

(Hook - Pryme Mega) Back and forth my Mental plane turbulence got me shaking and yawning. Then it’s on til the next touch down before the sunlight hit the street in the morning. Back and forth my Mental plane turbulence got me shaking and yawning. Then it’s on til the next touch down before the sunlight hit the street in the morning. (Verse 1 - D Prime 215) Open up my red eye welcome back Jack The Ripper. One hand on my mic, my other gonads & zipper. Reminds you of an M.O. but a tad I differ. The reloj say it’s time to bring it back, let’s get it. On my odyssey like Odysseus. I write between the lines you gotta peep where the feeling is. Just because I rhyme, you think you’re familiar. Don’t get it twisted crossing lines that’s invisible. Turn it up, off the inhibitors. Time to dish out all the pain I been feelin here. Like Nas at the BBQ grill in here. Make myself very clear. I rock Size 10, but my shoes you can’t measure here. Live from the eye of the quietest storm, the pressure is on. Beyond a Reasonable Doubt y’all have all been warned. Ayo, who saves the weak from the man who saves the weak? Think before you talk & listen before you speak. I’m Gone. (Hook - Pryme Mega) Back and forth my Mental plane turbulence got me shaking and yawning. Then it’s on til the next touch down before the sunlight hit the street in the morning. Back and forth my Mental plane turbulence got me shaking and yawning. Then it’s on til the next touch down before the sunlight hit the street in the morning. (Verse 2 - Pryme Mega) Look at we where at now. Standing over the plate about to bat now. Out da park a few thousand yards you’ll never track down. The complicated nature of the growth. Recession draggin us directly back into the know Some folks been wearing masks for years. Just to cover their tears. Now we all rockin em to protect us from sickness and fear. The paradigm has shifted whether benign or malignant. Everything is predicated on individual’s pigment. Same channel, different frequency. Extended antennas that reach demographics, stratospheres and galaxies. Concerned with others fallacies I have none. Except the hair trigger under my scalp is a handgun. Soon to be a cannon I guess I gotta wait. Or choose to expedite my evolution fore’ my expiration date. Back and forth my mental plane is very turbulent. Can’t sleep at nite back and forth I wrestle thoughts that's reemerging (Hook - Pryme Mega) Back and forth my Mental plane turbulence got me shaking and yawning. Then it’s on til the next touch down before the sunlight hit the street in the morning. Back and forth my Mental plane turbulence got me shaking and yawning. Then it’s on til the next touch down before the sunlight hit the street in the morning.

King's Road 02:38
(Hook) Another mountain we climb. Sure as the sun & the moon will go shine. Every single day I put it all in the grind. Yeah I got my youth and I’m aging like wine. (Verse 1) Yo, far as I remember, been ahead of my time. Way before I ever went to pen up a rhyme. Intelligence & Integrity are my design. Even when I’m down, I’m making a climb. These are my thoughts communicated in rhyme. If you’re smart you’ll see it’s more than just a rhyme. Otherwise, I hope you grow to it in time. Forever Authentic 21-5. On the King’s Road like Akiyama & Kawada. I’d be remiss if I ain’t mention Misawa. Look, Cash Rules, pay the God with the dollars. And respect I command with my honor. I’m royalty word to Sundiata. Brush the dirt off my shoulders and my collar. I take the throne & the crown, put my foot in it. Who looking better? And damn I’m looking good in it. (Hook) Another mountain we climb. Sure as the sun and the moon will go shine. Every single day I put it all in the grind. Yeah I got my youth and I’m aging like wine. (Verse 2) Yo this hit like a brand new jeep with the butter soft seats. I keep it 100 if you come across me. So you’re a fool if you ever cross me. Pull some nonsense you forever lost me. Look, cry now, learn later. They say you learn from all your losses that are major. Like I said on my last jawn, Live Greater. That said, I am not beyond a make up. That said, there is nothing I would go make up. Straight up. So you just gotta play it on playa. It’s anarchy like Anakin & Darth Vader. Regardless of the side of the force that you take up. Can it be real? Your world flip like Amityville. Rock steady keep humanity still. When I spit it they say be saying goddammit he’s ill. Fist raised, Black Planet all out in the field. For real. (Hook) Another mountain we climb. Sure as the sun and the moon will go shine. Every single day I put it all in the grind. Yeah I got my youth, and I’m aging like wine.
