Jasper Brown - Essential Lyrics




Yo
16 on the beats and I lay the verses well, essential personnel
16 on the beats and I lay the verses well, essential personnel
16 on the beats and I lay the verses well, essential personnel
16 on the beats and I lay the verses well, essential personnel

Craig Mack condolences, Sean P
Prodigy praises, we gotta be placing
Our love token bouquets in the hands of our favorites
While they're still able to vase them, Amen
Recording overboard, drowning in the flow, absorbed
Emotions pouring from the bowels of my ocean floor
Water baby wading in brain waves, melanated
The same shade as the stone of my namesake
Spit blacker than brushing with activated charcoal
Shame Al Jolson's masquerading our souls
No ally of mine can shuck and jive
Or run and hide behind lie of being colorblind
Some break their ethics just to gain acceptance
Ain't gotta take the safest method when you ain't afraid to face rejection
Escape convention, erase the templates
Paving your own lane's a great investment

16 on the beats and I lay the verses well, essential personnel
16 on the beats and I lay the verses well, essential personnel
16 on the beats and I lay the verses well, essential personnel
16 on the beats and I lay the verses well, essential personnel

Unable to guarantee just what will be the first rhyme
Of mine you might blindly find or begrudgingly
Spare your ears to, so carefully prepare jewels
I hand you, like some family heirlooms
Was taught when you get a shot, you're obligated
Say something, like when spotting a suspicious box, so listen
Cock the biscuit, itching to pop, flipping and pitching the rock
Misogynistic, drug addicted hop, that's what this is not
Did a drop with a crew of doers
We picked the lock with shrewd intruder maneuvers
One of the chosen fewer, an older bloomer, might have blown it
Had I broken through the cocoon a moment or so sooner
Was lunacy, presuming I'm due to reap something new
Yet repeating the same routines moves, playing too comfortable
Took the willing assist from Spit to make it major
Rappers, respect and pay your beat makers

16 on the beats and I lay the verses well, essential personnel
16 on the beats and I lay the verses well, essential personnel
16 on the beats and I lay the verses well, essential personnel
16 on the beats and I lay the verses well, essential personnel

Uttering dopeness, if you ain't digging this
Trust, your shovel is broken, pray the Lord
Funnels your ear tunnels to open, doses of
Peroxide rock-slide the rubble, not time for humble, still
Graciously downplay praise or take awkwardly
Often mistaken as fake modesty, but
A Class Act, this is not a disguise
It's JC Penney top of the line, I be fly
Breeze through the dreads, stand mighty before you
And I don't report to, no trapped in the 90's support groups
Nor am I imprisoned by the present, fair weather trending
Too washed for colored Locs and some pleather leggings
Performance art, songs authored with forethought
The most important parts of my persona aren't store bought
A rich flow, slick for the heads like
Black Castor Oil, that's Jasper for you (Word up)

16 on the beats and I lay the verses well, essential personnel
16 on the beats and I lay the verses well, essential personnel
16 on the beats and I lay the verses well, essential personnel
16 on the beats and I lay the verses well, essential personnel
