[ VERSE 1: Torae ]
Yo
Who you know more sick with the spit, more slick with the gift?
It'll take a lifetime to get with
I'm the [bad word]  editor, ProTool predator
Studio sabotage and I beast the bars
They say my lyrical range is further than yours
So if I shoot for Saturn I land on the stars
When I talk about Saturn I ain't talkin the cars
I mean the next door neighbor to Mars
I'm amazingly ( ? ), retartedly hard
Solo, group or squad
I put 16 darts on the beat, give me applause
Cause the more ( ? ) you hype, more muppets to snipe
Niggas chains get swiped, ( ? ) up with a knife
More ( ? ) with the white than the typical type
Puttin all this fictional hype in the sentence he write
When [bad word] to the stu' and what I do on the mic
It'll take niggas a lifetime to get it right

Yo
I don't know if it's the appeal, the thrill, the lackluster skills
But something about these niggas that's out I don't feel
You should see 'em front the radio when I get a chill
Every track back to back it'll be somethin ill
Now the lack of the skill got us slackin for real
To the point I could do joints, I ain't lookin for deals
Kinda hurtin my feelings, the damage you build [bad word] is hard to be a fan of it still, dammit for real
Bound to hand him a mirror for he see how he look
And I ain't tryin to throw the book at you, just throw out your book
Oh I forgot, y'all don't write, niggas be so tight
They do magic in the booth - just poof - niggas is nice
You can say what you like about me and my type
Or give it any label you like, y'all know that I'm right
When [bad word] to the stu' and what I do with the mic
It'll take niggas a lifetime to get it right

[ VERSE 3: Torae ]
George Bush don't [bad word] with blacks, Torae don't [bad word] with wack
MC's and they garbage tracks
Back to the drawing board with that
The [bad word] you doin recordin that?
Hit me more on the scratch [bad word]  get the thoughts out of your head
I'm lightyears, days, hours ahead
Most of y'all rap niggas coulda stayed in bed
If that [bad word] the best that you did [bad word] is garbage, you dig, my nig
But this the [bad word] You could copy what I write and I'mma still get biz
That was just to show love, no subliminal diss
I'mma take it to the max as a minimalist
You feminine ish, you [bad word] like the [bad word] type
You can hit your website and type to your delight
Cause when [bad word] to the booth and what I do with the mic
It'll take niggas a lifetime to get it right
