Yeah, Mr. Forge
Empuls
Haha! I got folks asking me,
Yo, Forge, what’s a HighLAnder?
I’m like, It’s an emcee that’s being doing this for years,
For centuries, nahmean! Yeah.
Hook:
I, Learned Sorcery from Thieves,
I, Done kicked it with some Kings,
I, Done slept with many Queens,
So you, gone have to Murder me!
Forge Verse:
Off my sabbatical,
Calculated timing,
I stay mathematical,
Lyrical enhancements?
Nah, I’m all natural,
Customly fitted, no manual,
IManually, dismantle you into a manifold,
Philosophical opticals,
To see thru the obstacles,
When these vatos get hostile,
Send em’ to the hospital
Now face rearrangement,
Man that’s always optional
From molecules,
To hair follicles,
Humble dude,
But ready anytime, to put a few,
In a pine, box if its must,
Articulation with a grind,
Full thrust,
In my prime,
Bout to brush off the dust!
Hook:
I, Learned Sorcery from Thieves,
I, Done kicked it with some Kings,
I, Done slept with many Queens,
So you, gone have to Murder me!
Empuls 2nd verse:
Cuz I’ve committed,
Reg aside
And been inside the women too,
Solider from another baited, plane
Slain generations in my day,
Put a couple nations on their back
Stack bodies 7 deep in a row
Around the map,
Lay em’flat,
One swipe of my blade,
The masquerade’s over,
David porter,
Plaguing in the basement
Doing water torture
I’m got em’ around the planet,
Spanding continents with damage,
One man pandemic, never panicked
Before the Birth of Christ,
And every other religion,
Gave Messiah’s conviction,
Was The Mayans predicated
I blessed papyrus,
Then I make a myth with a verse
And immortality has always been a gift and a curse!
Forge 3rd Vese:
Yeah, Now in the DMV, I’m respected,
All the way to South Bay, L.A.
We part of the Ancient,
I just accepted the embellishment of taintment,
Dug deep into my Warrior sanctions,
Before their ever was creation
Polluted by racist faces,
Old money retired they places,
But society’s hatred,
Stays complacent,
While the meek stay patient,
I stayed patiently waitin,
Been waiting for the right moment to about face
Display my matrix,
Never felt the death roll after decapitation,
Never felt the sensation with a swift swing,
Of The HighLAnder emcee Quickening!
Hook:
I, Learned Sorcery from Thieves,
I, Done kicked it with some Kings,
I, Done slept with many Queens,
So you, gone have to Murder me!
