Mic check, mic check C-H-I-C Alright, let’s do this It’s time to be the illest Time to be the illest It’s time to be the illest Time to be the illest It’s time to be the illest I’m just trying to be the illest But I think I’ve lost it The flair to say something clever I was told that I wouldn’t amount to anything whatsoever “Give up man Your rhymes are alright, you lack the punches Your style isn’t new You trying to rap just like the others You trying to sound like Slim But couldn’t even be Fatboy Couldn’t rack up views You’re chasing after the stacks? Oh, you’ll never make it throwing in a fake accent Stay back from rapping wake up and Throw away that pen" Know what? You’re right I may not have a unique style My strength is in the bars Here you’ll see why I was born to be a lyricist And prove each time I spit I can make you think like “Oooh he can write” I’m making a dent in my mind To face a rebirth No need for speed, my pursuits will Evade the previous Attempts I failed to launch Now I need space to leave earth Time my pen bleeds in the pad to create Period It’s time to be the illest Time to be the illest Time to be the illest I’m just trying to beat the illest Buried myself in my music Coughing, now I can’t breathe Reaching for roots, branched out Stumped that fans leave Dressing up rap in class and style Nothing fancy Lyrically blind, cause half of these rappers just can’t read Want to keep it sober I’m not looking to take shots Said yes to fathers of rap when y’all went K-pop Not being a "G" I’m playing a sharp game Gimme love, all eyes on me, like Dre-Pac Hold up Not claiming to be like the forefathers Big puns taking my "L's" to go farther Bold lines beautiful stories like soap operas And still I wouldn’t cut it (Why) Because fans don’t want this If I spoke gibberish then maybe I’ll get them Bub bilya bilyad bub aye ee aa eh um Spit a cover of that Bhad Bhabie and then some Fans and ladies could say “He’s amazing, come get some” Critics like Duane are here to help, I seek those To motivate me to be better And to see growth Beat the legs off the opponents I face Defeat foes I may weather your rule down like 50 - oh! Battle for greatness How ya like me now Kool Moe Dee? Marvel as I low key unleash my fury and go green I’m poaching these rappers for lunch Besides my gnocchi They talk about being goats But y’all just need Bo Peep It’s time to be the illest Time to be the illest Time to be the illest It’s time to be the illest I’m not tired I’m just bored dawg Oh sheep, y’all are just making me doze off Go be Huggies or Pampers, you’re so soft And good at holding (Shhh) No, don’t let those drop Thing is someone’s going to have a problem with this too Saying “oh my god the sheep line has been used” “This guy is not original" "He’s trying to win views” Let them bleat I’ll dodge their rams and continue Chopping you up cause I’m here to silence the lambs A cannibal like Hannibal Lecter My palate’s advanced I’ll paint a picture like da Vinci That’ll make you have Langdon decipher my riddles And make him explain Understand? Here come “rap” fans They’ll say that I ripped off this style Of whispering like Dax’ "Killshot" But I did not, it’s fine Not saying that I’m saving the hip-hop Just trying to make a name myself, One slick drop a time A YouTube rapper Seeking the views to climb higher So fly, I flew Grab chicken soup, soles tired I’m running this beat And you saying I’m not fire? I won’t stop till I’ve made it I will not retire Cause I’m trying to be the illest I’m just trying to be the illest I’m trying to be the illest And I will be the illest C-H-I-C (And I will be the illest)
