VERSE 1
You really wanna go against me
Your hope is empty poltergeist
When i hold the mic
You know there's plenty
Rhymes in my brain i am insane
Try it with me grind is thang
Blind to the way i write this man
Shinin’ today siphon my strength
Really raps Hiesenburg
The chemist and Skylar’s hurt
I am the danger knocking
Rhyme and take our noggin
Lames be jockin hater boppin’
Till you say it’s our shit than they hoppin’
To be makin’ nonsense ancient monsters
Great and honored make our wallets
Huge dude you new
Sam’s rhymes never nap time
Ooh you too rude
Fast time better strap i
Get better with age never the same
You remember the name after it’s etched in the grave
Step in to play get you head to enraged
Metal gage mega brain hefty weight left for me
Spewin’ ruthless venom
You is useless hell i’m
Best in and never
A better word mesher
To do this stupid tell i’m
I kill it and i do get the broom
Sweep the murder the rug
See ya herd motherfucker just
To Ill huge deal to trill
When i’m speakin’ you feel
Leaven you killed
Blood seepin’ for real
Lyrical limericks livin’ victorious
Notorious you corney kids
I’m roaring it
This is the Illusionist G.O.A.T. rapper
Known factors no acter ghost rappers
No have none no manners go drastic
So havin’ wrote that shit
HOOK (ISM)
No, I ain't having more of negation
No, let me live on and prolong my elation
Barely wearing a real smile, never forget
Timing on a rare moment, interrupted
Beam of a second then a frown of an hour
Ruining hap on the only laugh around
But no, I dodge the ball of woe, I'm unstoppable
I dodge the fall coming for my bubble
VERSE 2 (ISM)
I live my life with a poker face but in euphoria
Living a moment with the fam and pack all natural
I don't do a hit nor a chug to brighten me up
I can't down me like that, I build me up
My serious but positive attitude worded
Got that joy for anything, on my face it ain't painted
Barely appearing smile, like once in a lifetime
Never triggered until we got a winning ride
They know it, happening like a blue moon
Mistaking it for gloom, don't be fooled
I never wanna be down, nobody would
Ain't letting me blue or I lose
Barely carving that beam and it gets broken
By rapid intervention then things are horrid
The only moment of joy badly halted
Occuring quite commonly and some are ruined
A part of the meaning of life, they word it
Questions in my head, do we even need it
Attacking below the belt bruh we ain't having that
Ain't even of benefit, flowing worse than my math
One-time delight turned quick to all-time blight
Playing with me, I do not play, I fight
Challenging my and our nerves off the line
Nobody be losing them tests nor the mind
Living like I play dodgeball but at grown level
I learn and dodge the ball of worry and barrier
Never ending trick that they give off much weight
Though we get affected, I am a fighter ending the bait
Rather than dodging the ball, I dodge any fall
Keeping it positive, we be the unbreakable wall
We all be undergoing any break even at good times
We try then block them breaks, running back to the light
HOOK (ISM)
No, I ain't having more of negation
No, let me live on and prolong my elation
Barely wearing a real smile, never forget
Timing on a rare moment, interrupted
Beam of a second then a frown of an hour
Ruining hap on the only laugh around
But no, I dodge the ball of woe, I'm unstoppable
I dodge the fall coming for my bubble
OUTRO (ISM)
Barely wearing a real smile, never forget
Timing on a rare moment, interrupted
Beam of a second then a frown of an hour
Ruining hap on the only laugh around
But no, I dodge the ball of woe, I'm unstoppable
I dodge the fall coming for my bubble
