Respect the Architect Lyrics

featuring Bahamadia

"So respect the architect" > BizMarkie (cut 3X)
"So respect the architect as I begin to build"

[Bahamadia]

I'm mystical don't be deceived by the visual

Visible preference is pure patent it back to metaphors

Greetin em Illa del style wild

a***yze my memoirs runnin on 8/4 poetic me ter

soarin way beyond

iambic pentameter or juvenile flam

Unsyncopated soul piercin earlobes and egos

my vocals read these thoughts - am I hardcore?

To the grain

[Guru]

Lame game plain Jane MC's can't approach these

I shake chumps like fleas, I hold the keys

to drive you, guide you, provide you

with the real joints, ahem I clear my throat of phlegm

The architect, selecting the blueprints

to rid the game of nuisance

Sucker reducin with the fusion
Rhymes solid like cement in my musical solution

Stackin concrete flows, look out below

"So respect the architect"

-> BizMarkie (cut 2X) BizMarkie (cut 3X)

"So respect the architect... as I begin to build"

[Guru]

Floor to ceiling, constantly building

with power to construct, towers of rap CREAM kid, what?

Dreamin you're lyrical physical mystical?

Your concept's mediocre plus your way too typical withcha

corny delivery and crazy wack voice

Mad corny image, that's why I give you jitters

It figures, I'd have to dust you off the scene

like a wiseguy, with my New York lean
[Bahamadia]

Lines that I supply fortify the nuclei of mindstate

from state to state, universal, be the orals that I create

Top notch and on lock like Sentry, opponents could never tempt me

Samplin my style like an Akai S-950 and still can't get with me

while I spread this verbal plague like bubonic

Conductin phonics like the Philharmonics

I make in measured melody, kids praise me like the crucifix

So place Bahamad', amongst your top ten of emcees

"So respect the architect" -> BizMarkie (cut 3X)

"So respect the architect... as I begin to build"

[Guru]

Yeah, neverending, knahmsayin? Always buildin

My homegirl Bahamadia in the hidouse, yeah yeah

And of course, my man the legend

Ramsey Lewis

So respect the architect, knahmsayin? One love
