lyrics

(Verse 1)
“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee
Your hands can’t hit what your eyes can’t see”
Words by the legendary Mohammed Ali
But there’s a future legend in town and that man is me
Because I’m intelligent you call me a nerd
But the nerd get it in baby, that’s my word
Taking Hip Hop to the level of Einstein
Doing it in a way that can only be mine
Call me WWE cuz my rhymes are Raw
Hating cuz I spit it sharper than Wolverine’s claw
Call me KRS cuz I think very deeply
You can’t handle this brain power it makes you sleepy
Call me Hulk cuz you know I’m incredible
Or call me Colossus ’cause I spit heavy metal
Like Lil’ Scrappy you can’t get on my level
And I’m still gon’ be here when the dust settle

(Chorus)
Saving Hip Hop, it’s about time
Taking it back with this rhyme
Taking it back to its prime
Cuz to the top is where I’ll climb
With thoughts of greatness on my mind

(Verse 2)
Now a days dudes be fake
Swearing cuz they got more ice than Bobby Drake
Dude also swear he hard, but no not him
Just cuz he sells more rocks than are on Ben Grimm
They be more sensitive than they skin
I’m here to eliminate them, I’m here for the win
If you want to kill Hip Hop you got to get through me
But I’m chopping up these rappers like Hong Kong Phooey
I’ve got my eye on you like Big Brother and The Party
I’ll leave you flying in the air like the man Jeff Hardy
Go ahead, I dare you to try and stop me
Your careers gon’ be dead like your tamagotchi
You can’t live in fear like the Ghost Rider
But you won’t succeed with your horrible ghost writer
In the end you succeeding in Hip Hop I won’t have it
You’ll be denied every time like the Trix rabbit

(Verse 3)
You like that food and that liquor
So I’ma call you Lupe that real MC figure
But you’re feminine so I’ma call you Rah Diggah
That means you rap but me I’m bigger
You can call me Notorious, Pun, or L
Cuz I’m taking whack these rappers straight to hell
I’m becoming the new king of rap
You’re a PC while I’m a Mac
I’m on a quest with my tribe
Gonna make Hip Hop live
I’ma clean it out like a q-tip
Bark on ‘em like phife dawg and rip
Call me Shaheed Muhammad a prophet of God
The MVP like Big L or Yankees’ A Rod
I took LL’s radio and Nas’s only mic
Had to do something to make Hip Hop right
Now your running, ain’t ready for the one on one fight
We have to save Hip Hop before it dies tonight

Ton Queens, New York

MC from Queens who grew up loving Hip Hop. This love drew him to want to make his own album.

90's baby nostalgia infused lyricism.

My dream as an artist is to be a combination of Nas, The Wyld Stallyns, Dewey Cox, and Michael Jackson, in my own Ton way.
