lyrics
Haswrath 4Us,
A scholar to the craft of language
A push back to followers, i ain't a leader
Just a dude with a crew and a pair of eyes i'm seeing through
Two ears though i hear with the heart
From the start to the finish
The beginning in the end
The name is Haswrath, it's nice to meet you
My habitat is nice when it's peaceful
And i'd like to keep it that way
Do you know who you're speaking to?
Where you at, Haswrath?
Can i borrow a dollar
I'll pay you back, you know i'm good for it
Rapping since the days when i would flip the collar
And put my neighborhood before it
Okay, i flipped my collar one night
But i made it count
If i had a dime for every moment
My place of residence felt heaven sent
There'd be nobody doin' time
Many Realms brought the bounce
Peace to my brother, i hope the drums affect 'em
Love you for what you've given
I pray to g-d you get it back
Even in darkness i shine
If it wasn't for rap, you'd see a different mode of attack
Respect my mind, before the spectrum of light fades to black
I'm talking days of wax boosted in the backpack
We must've been insane then, or just in a passionate state then
Before that rap was engrained in
The same sense as vision
I can't explain it, it's like the air you breathe in
A beacon reaching from the zenith
When the world seems dim & there's no connection
A light to keep, a sight to see
When your being is immense to begin with
If i can talk it, i can be it
If i can walk it, i can see it come to fruition
I wrote letters for the faith in my sayings
Wrote letters to Jammin 95.5 in 1999
Still they wouldn't play me though
A 13 year old, would be king on the mic
With a smoke ring for my halo
A word from the endo
And a brim low, my helmet on the mental plane
This was some days after rap debuted on MTV
I loved What It's Like, I loved Venni Vetti Vicci
Even in darkness i shine
Holla Holla was the hot thing on the radio
Man listen, I wanted to be Ja Rule
I wanted to bring Big L back to this plane of being
So he could breathe life into the mic
Headshots 7 was my deadstock weapon
O Father, who art in heaven
Extend my hands when i'm reaching
The universe expands every time a verse from The Teacha hits the speakers in the pool hall
Man listen, i wanted to be Slick Rick and on the mic i would rule all
Matka was like Nah, you gotta finish school though
Fast forward 20 plus years
I guess i struck a cool draw
In a cruel world where nothing surprises
And Haswrath still going by the way Witchdoctor said it
There's only one
While the sun sets lower
And the night goes slower
A light to a light
Erratic when the stash is low, Many Realms chops the subject
Fly mathematics, it's in the design cousin
Acrobatics coveting the rewind button...
...Even in darkness i shine cause all it takes is a spark
To find the line of the pathfinder...
