about

this is the joint. it's part bravado rap. mixed with technical skills and name dropping of names that aren't always mentioned in rap songs (french new wave directors, sudanese presidents.) it's produced by pete rock. the sampled duologue is from the film "Jules et Jim" (netflix it homie). aaaaaand if you like it, that depends on you. kinda like life.

lyrics

the joint (POW!)

off limits
this is soley for the authentic
all gimmick get dropped
like call finished
all critic get cropped outta
all stills
the ultimate
upper pinnacle skills
so i'm sayin the competitors
they should all kneel
to the renassiance man
with a menacin grill
lenny bruce meets sam kinison
chilled henny any roots beat
i give similar feel
to all those
i'm also a pic a picasso
my pen stamps a rembrandt
quick as a crossbow
aim i hang frame
show off at an art show
barishkinoff flow
so u think u could dance
u couldn't stand on my stanza's
articulate arch yo
this is just a motherfuckin clip of my arsenal
kickin it with just a freakin tip my tarsal
point pete rock joint
rip it apart yo

verse 2

my infantry is here
with mortar metaphors
make your similies impeared
when the smoke disspates
i evoke in ur ear
war crimes
quite akin
to omar al bashir's
oh dear
don't miss the best part
my heart yo i spit
till i split my chest part
to stitch it back up
and rip the stitch off
a gift a present
right when
u press start
i'm made from the mold that
gave us traffaut
rohmer, plus godard
charbrol
i'm french taught
scary thing is this ain't my bench mark
i plan to get smart till i ascend thought
i plan to brainstorm till i ascend arks
and float on the floods that i've sent down
penned to the sheets n sent thru the streets
can't disagree
when u nod head to the beats like pow

verse 3

it's imperative
airin this narrative
from the most arrogant
tearin down stereo types
whites wearin thin
blacks glarin in
sharin feelings of embrassement
cause my colors not wearin me
yo i'm wearin him
race is a card i ain't playin or am favorin
play the hand and make it win
even if i never see the majors
cuz i'd rather eat a razor
then do caterin
fin make amends
in place of me makin ends
made of zen ride bad vibes that the haters send
n let it go
lesser folk would stress and mope
lesser folk would stretch a rope
yet i try to find hope in my favorite pen
faith that my creations resonate in every
vocal take i swear i'll do like 48
and take a ten
do 8 again until the engineer is so delirious from hunger that he ate a limb
maybe then
u'll see how fuckin serious
i take it then
fuck a car i can't pronounce and fuck a broad that don't any got patience when
i say i got a date with destiny and i can't make it in
blame the beat
peace from ur only asian friend
