lyrics

I'm taking back the power, rip and I devour
Come and smell the flowers, making beats for hours
Heating up the flour, we rise like yeast
Kabir on the mic, Ben supplies the beats (x2)

Yeah I put my name in it, I'm here to stay in it
Watch me as a lay in it, got a sick way with it
Musically committed, delivered and admitted
Never wanna quit it, damn right I did it
Yo I done done it, Hun, I run run it
Yup you're fair game about to be hunted
You stopped evolving, your growth got stunted
It was only second down but your kicker still punted

Words I utter, soon you will discover
The force of a first course, ready for another?
Sing for your supper, cut like an upper
Don't be a downer, I can hear you mutter
I can hear the rain as it drips from the gutter
Elegant eloquence even when i stutter
I can bring the 9 iron, you can bring the putter
My golf game's weak but my rap game's butter
From Calcutta to London to Rome
Back to the city that I now call home
Beantown, Boston, write it in a poem
You see opportunity lost and unknown
I see opportunity found and full grown
Yes it's the freshness, I call it my own
I let my mind travel down a lonely road,
Soaking up truth before I come home

I'm taking back the power, rip and I devour
Come and smell the flowers, making beats for hours
Heating up the flour, we rise like yeast
Kabir on the mic, Ben supplies the beats (x2)

Yeah I put my name in it, I'm here to stay in it
Watch me as a lay in it, got a sick way with it
Musically committed, delivered and admitted
Never wanna quit it, damn right I did it
Yo I done done it, Hun, I run run it
Yup you're fair game about to be hunted
You stopped evolving, your growth got stunted
It was only second down but your kicker still punted

Put it in a drawer, shove it in a folder
Organize now, do what she told ya
Get my act together, busy man getting older
Gotta find the beauty lying in the eyes of the beholder
Put it in gear, it's Kabir with that new new
Activate flow, get it, go, coming to you
Better be prepared for the air and the juju
Jujitsu with the rhymes givin' fits to
Any amateur that simply can't handle the mic in a way that we'd like
Can't hold a candle to my homies on my left and my right
Can't even comprehend the ways that we light up the night, what a sight
Shine bright, connect the world like computers and Skype
Rhyme right, don't get lost and all confused in the hype
Quite nice to take part in all the things that you like
Quite right to make art with the music and mic
