lyrics

Don't wanna be a derivative
I'm different
I put the in in innovative
Isn’t it primitive
We are unlimited
And all you spit is acquisitive
I’m flipping these triplets
Am I legitimate?
Do I fit into the infinite raps
That are spat inexplicable with the same emphasised syllables
Riddle me this
Not meant as a diss
Got to refine our rhymes
Resist
Putting the emphasis on emphasis
An elephant we must address
I think its best
Give it a rest
See the trap that I set

Not gonna follow the beat
Not gonna flow with the rap
I’ve gotta find my own niche
Not gonna fall in the trap

It makes me sigh when I encounter it
You wrap all your rhymes round the click
Every flow is a metre of designer thread
Found to be counterfeit
"most other flows are predictable"
That's hypocritical
Claiming I’m no archetypical
Pinnacle of unoriginal bars
Often it’s hard
Rapping is more of a science than art
I say from the heart
Nobody’s more than a sum of their parts
Splitting hair’s farcical
Why do I criticise others so arbitral?
Rhythms are cardinal
Why can’t I use all the beats in my arsenal
