Penmanship.
January 5, 2009
Get down under, like tunnels under unstable structures
I’m deeply rooted, disasters can’t knock me over
If I was a stepping stone, make sure you don’t holler
Put clowns in quicksand to my personal preferences
I’m getting feedback saying that I’m overconfident
I can’t help it, this blessing is more than heaven-sent
A letter to and from your religion, I am the replacement
Your compliments just ain’t that vehement
Let’s face it, start making sense of what you’re saying
Then paper flows in with the voices of critics
It’s normal, survival is just one of the issues
Until you pass away, these bitches will never miss you
Fake-ass tears on recycled handkerchiefs and tissue
When they dry up, you’re just a person they knew about
Never had a chance to converse with my grandfather
But if we talked, he’ll be telling me I’m the future
Get down under, like pipes under reconstruction
If I was offensive, I’ll face the jurisdiction
It’s like an addiction, a feeling that no one can imagine
Street fiction making rappers feel like big shit
I’m no magician, break up grounds like fission
Exactly why I’m groundbreaking, the exact notion
The language for communication gets a little different
Got the relations under five percent tint
It’s a one-way road to the top of the charts
And a one-time procedure to appreciate this art
Like supermarket shopping, rappers throw rhymes in carts
It all goes down when people get caught off-guard
Proof? The Swagger Jacker section in double-X L
From hit-and-run to show-and-tell
A tradition that lives on, from every dusk till dawn
Sealing up the hearts that were torn from wrong

I hear. I’ve heard. I rhyme. I’ve rhymed.
“This is not an image, this is god-given, this is hard-liven / mixed with crystal sipping, it’s the most consistent.” – Jay-Z
