After dark, this rapture sparks, this rapper starts from this mastered art,

After the sun goes down, this pro expose sound,
I show clowns with the know how, I demonstrate so they know now,
Who's tight, still shine bright in the moonlight,
I use mics never too hype, I've earned more than a few stripes, I speak the truth right as I recite,
Creepin' through the nightlife, it's twice as nice take my advice, workin' on projects until it's daylight, I display right,
Until the sun comes up I run amok to sum it up,

As I let my verse slow this joint will burn slow,
Emphatic remains nocturnal, jot it down in your journal, from within my internal,
This is my soul's creation,
Like the Deep End Swollen Members demonstration, up late nights tracks we lace 'em,
With patience, it's our obligation towards this occupation or until we reach our destination,
With wordplay and proper placement,
We're gonna take it there, make 'em aware,
Or until the competition is runnin' scared,

There's no mishaps when I rip cats, when it's pitch black,
This ain't no dis track, I'm simply tellin' MC's to get back, or they'll get slapped, upside the head,
I arise from my bed, like an insomniac,
You can call me that, because sleep is the cousin of death, and that's a fact,
I'm never rappin' wack in my habitat, rappers I'm laughin' at, I bring the data back,
As a matter of fact the master's in tact,
I capture the fan's expression through hand claps,
They pale in comparison to this man's raps,
