Blessed Hands


I flip a wrist n' the Sahara
Explodes in a cornucopia
Both my hands are cocked
Like a double barreled shotgun
I make a flake smoke
In the arctic cold
Wet embers flicker n' glow
Combust in a field of snow
In my right is opportunity
In my left is importunity
I am a ball of manifestation
I was born in regal explosion
By Divine revelation
My hands are blessed
By great drops of bloodshed
I touch a hapless defender
Put him on a level with Gore Vidal
A lethal attacking defender
Brings up the rear for Barca
I strike awe into Midas
My hands whorl of thumb
N' fingers are blessed with force
As effective as a Glock
Like a staff to guide the flock
Knock you off the block
Set you reeling in your Crocs
My face set as flint
My eyes pop the locks
With a malignant glint
A wave of shocks/Reset the clocks
Get out of dodge
Here comes the judge
I send lethal shocks
That scramble up your spine
Fear knots your hair in locks
Respond in kind
Bruh you'd be surprised
How tricky this game can be
Like Jack on the bean
Or raccoons in a bin
But my hands
Are gifted with supernatural
Abilities anything I touch
Effectually goes boom
In the wake of golden blossoms
I'm afforded creative room
Enchanting as the aurora
Charming as a fedora
I handle a plethora
With the skill of a master
Let my hands walk you thru
Mysteries planned in time's youth
Ain't nothing better blessed
Than my hands the oppressor
Finds it hard to suppress
It works like a compressor
I shoot the arrow/N' hit the heart
Make a big hole/A true work of art
Glow of a burning halo
A remarkable venture
My hands are carefully sculptured
By the finger of God
The blessing of the Lord
That maketh rich
Carved me a niche
Baked in the oven
Clay pottery turned Beethoven
Retrieved silken speech
From a gold chest
Rid of defect n' a glitch
My chords He dressed
Magic purrs in my breath
Spectacular under my belt
My fingerprints
Are grooves of ingenuity
My fingertips
Are a curse to mediocrity
If my heart can conceive it
If I set my eyes on it
Bend my back to it
Then my hands can invent it
These hands/Mold tangible wonders 
I insert biotic properties in dry land
My hands are fashioned
Like hand in glove
To be Divine weapons
Every project
I undertake is a statement
My fingers are packed
Like a loaded Mack
I can work a shack
A crumbling pack of cards 
Into a glittering palace
Translate idle parlance
Into startling ambivalence
My fingers are clasped
Around the glass of time lapse
I rearrange the timeline
Like laundry on the clothesline
My hands are blessed
I do much more with less
Still I press/I compress tasks
N' then I can bask
In the sun make a flask
Preserve the heat intense
So I can boil a nuisance like eggs
Control the midfield like Iniesta
Flip the game like Chiesa
Enter a dessert start a fiesta
Gifted hands
Like mine max a chance
Whoop a circumstance
When I set a mode/It's touch n' go
My hands are legendary
Restores life in the cemetery
Blessed not X'd/I determine next 
My hands are a peach
My game is at a pitch
I'm pitched against pitch
Darkness n' still I preach
Slivers of light like cleavers
Prune n' carve divas
From soot dark contours
I'm a raconteur/I weave a filigree 
From a plume of smoke
A breathtaker from Conakry
Magic I stoke/Anything I work with
Translates to poetry
Whatever I'm to wit
Becomes a piece of magic
I touch the tragic/N' out comes Jumanji
Make the River Genjis
Flow into the Kalahari
Resolve any harakiri
While enjoying potpourri
My hands are blessed
To translate the universe
It's a smoking gun/N' it never bombs
It walks its talk/It smooths the rough
It pays like big bucks
It weathers the tough
A pen in my fingers
Turns me into a Mozart
I grab a brush n' canvas
N' I am Rembrandt
My hands are blessed
There is no contest.

Turntable


Put the pin/On the turntable

Let it spin/Sway like vegetable

In the pot simmering

It's the communicator

Smooth operator/Boredom fumigator

The lyrical prestidigitator

Chronic regulator/Funk educator

Step off on the wrong foot

S'long as you hit the groove

You're in the right boot

Take a shot it's a loot

My tongue's ready to shoot

Surrender your will

To the control of the wheel

Let it lock the still

With a hint of steel

This jam/Is breaking bad

N' the virus is catching

Yo fan base I'm snatching

Hands up heads scratching

Cold verbs/Non decaffeinated

Got yo dubs/decontaminated

Make yo jaws drop/Like the elevator

I'm the vibe desegregator

On a hitch/I invent a nitch

On the grid/Like hopscotch

The real deal/It's top notch

Like the neighborhood watch

The killjoy's plans I botch 

I'm the rhythm navigator

The funkadelics alligator

All I do is smile

As I watch the blues die

The tears flow from my eyes 

As I spill you on the tiles

There's electric potential

As the track hits a pedestal

The needle slides like a piston

Devastating shots from a pistol

Rock your crib steady

Rock-a-bye baby

Smooth as the underbelly

Of the anaconda 

Unforgettable like Lumumba

I regulate the beat

I'm the Prince of Zamunda

Make you feel the heat

Soon as I get this raccoon

Wrapped up in a cocoon

Get this mix-up dragooned

Vocals put you on chokehold

Make you relinquish yo hold

Step lively/Make you hybrid

Like the holly n' poison ivy

Spin the turntable

My words are imperishable

Ride up your spine

Wheel you with the stars

Like a metrical turbine

Make you yield yo scars

Top of the world Mama

Attack yo feet like a mamba

You do the crazy legwork

Like Jackie Chan/For what it's worth

Make you a rockstar

Like Chaka Khan/I make vowels

That dig deep like trowels

Sink my hits in your bowels

By the power of the turntable

More power than a classic fable

Rock the house from pillar to gable

I bend you to the wheel

Enchant you like an FB reel

Ride it like a 24 inch chrome

Grilling a freshly tarred road

Tracks revive an old chrone

Got her reeling like tadpoles

I can work magic/With a simple lyric

Cause I'm the music manic

I'm the metrical Houdini

I tame a storm like Maldini

I dictate yo heart tempo 

Like the pedal of a Lambo

Regulates its speed

The turntable makes the beat

You're a victim/Stuck in the groove

A bionic tag team 

I got something to prove

I studied yo heart rhythm

So I can do the logarithm

The Jazzonia Langston

Let it flow like Braxton

Strap on my David Jesse

Pack a Kevlar in a jersey

Throw a track

Like a shot from Van Persie

Meters bite like fangs

Got you numb like Van Helsing

I'm Joe Pesci/With a mean twin

Spit tracks n' Macks

Like Liam Neeson

Verbs that battle sharks

In the Deep Blue Sea

Like LL cooking sushi

I waxed my demo 

When Pac was just a teen

Sitting in limbo

I was barely seventeen

Produced by Alby

Where they mastered Blacky

Six tracks at Klinks

Mysterious as a sphinx

Now I rise like a Phoenix

To recover what was jinxed

My life has been a remix

People have tried to steal it

Folks died trying to help me

Killed em off to erase a witness

A diabolic bidness

Just stating the diagnostics

I'm not one to get melancholic

It's the end game logistics

You see life can be ironic

I bring the psychedelic legislature 

To give static a seizure

On a platter of gold at leisure

And it's all my pleasure

The tracks slug you like David

At the battle with the Philistine

The beat bends you like David

Backham's ball doing free kicks

I got the tools and/All the time and

The venom at hand/While the needle

States a deep riddle

It's my duty to decode it

N' with dub molass encode it

Then I release it to the world

Joy to the world like Mariah Carey

Rip off the Mask like Jim Carey

Put your hands up

Stomp bop to the hip hop

I send infidels to the septic 

Those who don't respond to detox

When life gets traumatic

I initiate the funk redux

It works every darn time

The jive runs buck wild

I spy your body language

The turntable is timeless

Transcends time n' age

Like the pyramids of Rameses

The magic is lossless

N' tho football's my favorite sport

I still break it up with Kurtis Blow

Hit you up at the spot 

The electricity's 10,000 volts

When I ride on the turntable

I make bodily atoms unstable

Mountains become movable

No weight is unbearable

Nothing is unbelievable

Anything is possible/That's legal

Throw it up/Make your soul hop

It's a kamikaze/Full clip magazine

Pump you to pump me/That's mean

I'm the greatest poet/That ever lived

Y'all just don't know it yet

Detox the air I can't breathe

The level of mediocrity's toxic

It can make the wildest pig sick

But I'm slick as a toothpick

I coordinate the jamboree 

Like Lionel Richie

I dominate the territory

Like Lionel Messi

I flourish rhapsodies

Regulate the bass with the woofer

I got the power of a bursar

The limerick Yakuza

The needle meanders over 

The groove like the NASCAR

In the deserts of Senegal

I'm a troubador/The whole world

Spins on the needle/Of my turntable

I can get y'all dancing

Throwing it up on the ceiling

Burning up a city

Getting jiggy with it 

I'm glad you could make it

Let the music take you to the zenith

The turntable's another

Flying saucer/Provoking salsa

Spitting exotic flows 

Like unstoppable UFOs

Hug you like a pinafore

With metallic metaphors

I spit it raw from the jungle

Like I'm your big uncle

I'm on the turntable 

You're invited to the banquet hall 

Walk right up to the table

Introduce you to the funk

I'm The Grand Wizard

Eat you up like pizza.
