A-Alikes - Jean Grae

Well if she rocks like a spitter and she flows like a spitter

Then you know she's a spitter and she probably is

And if she walks like a spitter and she talks like a spitter

Don't floss please forgive her she probably is

And if she writes like a spitter hold the mic like a spitter

Pause boys ain't no gutter you know that she is

And if she rhymes like a spitter know she rhymes like a spitter

Who rhymes like a spitter you know who it is

A burnt sky scorched the earth's flesh

At the same time the murderous text arose

Like a phoenix with the glow of death

A poet two steps ahead like Noah just left

Mo' and sex holding techs

No I'm not what you'd expect

Golden pen exposing men false

Like a fallen disciple all in the bible

The cause is the calling haiku

The love of words language liquor phrased

Slang in mecca raised skyscraper

Look a future brighter then your jewels of praise

This life must be what divorce caught be like

I fall apart right just to stay right

Call this caught like night calls to daylight

We a alike see alike but you don't hear me though

You don't hear me though

When everything else just don't go right

Even if we just pretend that we alright

Call this caught like night calls to daylight

We a alike see alike but you don't hear me though

For lack of better words well that's actually the worst

The vernacular must map first a path of better verse

Heads are cursed I rap backwards

Like a roll backwards

Flip the same line another track yes accurate

I've mastered it f**ked rhymed

Killed it's father bastardized it

Masqueraded I roll drive by and patronize it

Must analyze it slow mathematical

Crack addicts pull

My rock will take you high like astronomical planes

The money changes hands this year

With this here lisp you disappear

My bliss is ripping spheres of discs

The wax heatedness bleeding black blacker

Dreaming of a caddie black leather seated

Beats banging heat

Serial scratch Nina police tracking us all

Side track em in an alley and laugh at the law

You see my way of doing things is sort of different

Never resort to riffing

I just snuff and keep it stepping listen

Heavy stomp like I'm gravity in hand smashing the floor

Splashed jagged shrapnel slap in your jaw

I'm like bill's wife packing a sword

You must be outta your gourd

The girl's insane but I told you before

This life must be what divorce caught be like

I fall apart right just to stay right

Call this caught like night calls to daylight

We a alike see alike but you don't hear me though

When everything else just don't go right

Even if we just pretend that we alright

Call this caught like night calls to daylight

We a alike see alike but you don't hear me though

Irrational thoughts often but find me squeezing the cork often

Competing with wino heathens to squeeze in a coffin

The alcoholic in me's almost slaughtered like the traveling door to doorsmen

Who was found in doors with the foreman's daughter Lauren

I freak a little forward speak a little proper grammar

Rapper with the capital r back with no capital

Fact is I'm hazardous Angela's hell immaculate

Poem's rap like I'm in an obsessive compulsive cabinets

Neat but still dirty elite but still worldly

To peak maybe at 30 I speak that I ain't worthy yet

So grab your drinks and toast them up to the future

Jean's a trooper so they say but I ain't met no one truer

This life must be what divorce caught be like

I fall apart right just to stay right

Call this caught like night calls to daylight

We a alike see alike but you don't hear me though

When everything else just don't go right

Even if we just pretend that we alright

Call this caught like night calls to daylight

We a alike see alike but you don't hear me though
