[Verse One]
Sixty seconds with a mic in the booth
And I'm proof, the villain god-body
relaxed in a coupe
I got my feet up like fuck the world
These rappers is basic
And I'm contemplating my return
like tax evasioning statements, word
Dolla dolla bills, you did it for the millions
I do it for civilians on the corner blocks
and project buildings
Independent floetry reflecting the poetry
You suckas do it better where?
Point me to your prodigy, huh
I bet a stack that he ain't mobbin deep
I'll moonwalk across the street
And backhand that Billie Jeanugh
And social commentary asking where I be at, dawg
I'm eating cereal, posted where my queen at
Listen, the art form done revolutionized the culture
And I'd be damned if as a Black man
I sold my soul to vultures

[Verse One]
Aye put a timer on the clock
Yo, I'ma bounce in a minute
I'm like the Phantom of the Opera
Meets the Black Bruce Willis
I'm prolly the illest to deal it til a Zimmerman killing
Shoot a Nazi in his face
When trying to speak to The Villain
Ayo the Black assassin killing devils off in your faction
My voodoo, sticks to you like Russia to that Trump dude
I'm Dooku, the rest of you like clones in this new school
VON POE VII been a rebel to cause
And I be chillin on my lonely
When I'm avoiding all the phonies
Yo I'm too nice, recognize the darkest of lights
You a hoe for the likes, I'm laughing, I just doubled the price
About to hit the brodie Hus like, this The Winners right?
This the Threat Culture's most awoken
And they calling me the seven
Cause they know that God has spoken
See lately I've been feeling like
Ain't too many dealing mic prescriptions
Yugen Blakrok, she the illest
A Black female, no jezebel
Respect to the mother of Earth
Put us in the booth to share our truths
No darker roots / Ayo it's day two, stay tuned

Divine Counsel

[Verse One]
Im tryin to be the definition of greatness
And I ain't ever been wack
The most relaxing when it comes to the craft
I want to reach the masses
I want to cherish my integrity
Leveraging out my options
As my talent rides the melody, listen
I'm painting pictures with da Vinci scriptures
Get the fuck up off my dick
If you ain't ever been through shit
What's the word, what's the word
Yea that's what they screaming
So many opportunities beaming
Give life to the meaning
I'll be around, ain't really trying to knock y'all
But for the record, this that Threat
All that greatness that you wished you possessed
Aye dawg I've been that
And it's funny how they speak about the Rucka
From the music to my videos let's keep it a bucka
A one man army, I'm stashing the laundry
And God informed me
I keep my talents locked dawg
Don't ever let em con me
Yo it's day three
I'm chillin in the house like Mr. Cooper
Laughing at oompa loompas on my video screen
Ayo you right dawg, VON POE he prolly the illest
But he be lackin with them videos
So it's hard to really feel him
Dawg, I feel you
I'm about to change it up on critics one time
The Villain of the Opera on the corner chanting mantras

The Power of Word
01:00

|
||
[Verse One]
The god ain't feelin your demonstration
You marching for justice
Like Malcolm X ain't caught a bullet for statements
Swear to God, you made from the snake skin
Of the cowardly hearted
Dearly departed, stack my funds
Don't give a fuck whatchu talkin
This dedicated to my sinners serving life in the box
When mothafuckas swear they know you
But wasn't there from the block
Baby you rock depression
Nigga I greet the pressure that lock on these
A shady homie spends his life in the trees
Ayo it's funny looking back on life, and all its degrees
My family tree consisting of felonies
Of the misdirected Ebonies
My pedigree
Is something that you never ever could take from me
I'm rocking the beat like Socrates
And mathematics philosophies
The Prophecy, manifests like children of the Titan spree
That Greek Mythology, reflects my legacy
My hypothesis speaking of a prodigy
You a dummy tryin' to copy me
I'm speaking the god degrees
If you ain't blessed, then come and follow me

[Verse One]
I want to see your truths
These days, spit the pain in the booth
What we was, verses what we knew
And back then, we would stand on stoups
You got beef homie, bring your crew
What's the ratio for losses?
Lessons, the game it taught us
Raise martyrs, to protect our daughters
Shots rang from the blocks we rocked
We came a long way from that similar pop
Trippin' off of war stories, guts and glory
Friends died, we just down our 40s
Love lost, smoke a blunt with shorty
Life spent of the blocks with 40s
Young Kings, we just want our glory

[Verse One]
Ayo my style is like, 96' bangin on apartment strips
Cuhzo kept the summer hot
Never rocked with counterfeits
We knew the ledge
My legacy destined to snatch your papers bread
Did it for the culture
I never really cared what people said
Put me up against em
I bet I'd dead a man
If I ain't in your top fives before I'm dying
I'm coming back like the Son of Sam
Bomb the lands you walkin on
Resurrect the Renaissance
I'll put you up in a guillotine
And separate your final thoughts
I got a trilogy streaming, yo you should peep it
And it's safe to say that after this
A new album is creepin
Ayo it's VON POE
You rappers do it better nowhere
Walk with the seven
While you scared to beef here, word up
I'll smack the Kufi off a goofy,
like my name was Jim Jones
On my way to Church
You know how certified G's roll
I really did this on my own, minus producers
And r.i.p. to Ricky, we still rockin with the movement

The Fear of God

[Verse One]
Ayo they couldn't tell me nothin
I walked away from money
Plenty times in my discussions
While hurting on the rent
Ayo my stubborn pride defeated a lost cause
And everybody wanna be a rapper
Just lack flaws
I'm seeing all these sponsorships
looking out my rear view
Aye baby, what that fame like?
See I ain't never been you
When the revelation pops off
I'll be chillin with my socks off relaxing
And long live the villain is what I'm chanting
The industry had me fucked up
I told them that they better off without me
I don't do this for the fame
This ain't no Chance The Rapper rappin'
They see the cash
And they quit to throw they life away in a basket
But I ain't been a part of that cloth
Won't catch me lackin'
You speaking fashion
I'm speaking about the prodigal sun
Not the son in the flesh
The infinite, illuminite one
Cause we all from that
While everybody's lost in this oblivion
I'll be chillin on my lonely with the brodies
Counting dividends, I feel that
While everybody's lost in this oblivion
I'll be chillin on my lonely with the Holy
Get my spirit right
