I'm "The Dream" Hakeem Olaijuwon Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Posted at the bar with a lean spittin' bars Hittin good green I smoke Dutch Master cigars Playin golf the only time I'd ever be sub par This shit remind me of the ninety-eight Chicago Bulls intro From the first few notes you should know what you in fo' If you don't, dial four one one I got the info Catch the tempo, bless ya mental, its quite simple Step on stage, blow the speakers like a twelve gauge You know what T.I.M.E. is - that's word to Flavor Flav Free the mind of the slaves, the allegory of the cave No cap, I'm Steve Rogers, I can do this all day I amaze - I'm the illest like I caught the black plague AIDS, an ankle sprain anna cold all in the same day Spread it to your brains in the sickest of sound waves The light skinned Ving Rhames, all you chumps is small change I shine like the sun you could never eclipse Get caught up in my orbit like planetary ellipse The Alchemist, my hand holds the pen that writes the script TIMEisINFINITE and you don't even know the half of it But f*ck that, my thoughts are too advanced for all you suckaz So kick the bucket, you aint ready to bring the ruckus Step up to the plate and I'm swingin' like Kirby Puckett On a quest for the ducats and quite frankly I love it The Peter Parker author with the verbal parkour Web Slingin' like I'm Spider-Man, spittin the hardcore Abolish Venom and Carnage, admonish a Secret War The Endless Waltz, Wing Zero, Epyon, the encore I got more bars than arms on Doctor Octopus Marvelous, hip-hop artist rhyme novelist When I die, mummify me in a solid gold sarcophagus Inscribe my name on an indestructible obelisk It's obvious, niggas can't f*ck with me lyrically Yea you might rap but you ain't on the same tier as me Thinkin' that you nice like that, considered heresy It's clear to me you specialize in myths and conspiracies Stupid muhfuckas can't comprehend the rhyme Step ya sorry game up, or get left behind Those that understand, I'm steady blowin' they mind Cuz I flow like water refined into fine wine I rock the microphone like a certified geologist A black star, I should be studied by astronomists Fuckin up your brain like the worst trained lobotomist No, I'll never stop 'til I conquer all the continents Compliments to homies that I came up wit' Accomplices in crime know the glove don't fit Apocalypse to lame ass niggas that talk shit Incontinence for shitty ass rappers who flow piss They don't make 'em like this no mo' The last of a dyin' breed, the dragon, I got the glow Peep my flow and get caught up in the undertow You should call me Lupin the third - I steal the show This is the result of a thousand open mics Fake rappers clear the way yo, exit stage right Please, you not the prototype, yo ass is over-hyped Frontin' like you bout that life, I know ya type Meanwhile, I set the precedent, effortless, gotta represent Melanated excellence, prevalent in my element Elegant, intelligent, my word is simply eloquent Now if you aint fuckin wit' that you must be celibate You might catch me chillin on the front of ya stoop But it don't matter who be tellin' it, I am the truth Need proof? I hop in the booth and switch suits Clark Kent turns to Superman and bursts thru the roof No need for a secret identity, Time Infinity A child of hip-hop, shit is really instilled in me Intoxicate your soul like spirits at a distillery Unless you Biggie, Smalls, y'all niggas be killin me I got skills foreal what the f*ck you thought it was I'm lightyears ahead of you niggas so call me Buzz Marijuana buds get ingested in my lungs You thought u was dope like me? You on drugs You little bugs are annoying like some gnats You won't start a revolution like Nat Turner, that's facts Even haters tell me "this shit slaps" and give me dap No cap I run laps around these cats that cant rap I'm all that like throwback Kenan and Kel Stay Fresh like the Prince of Bel-Air I will prevail I gotta excel, I'm off the scales, I'm hot as hell Burn an L and a cool jay then proceed to rock the bells I'ma rap until the beats run out Make sure my presence is felt 'til all da stars burn out Lame's takin' the wrong route they steady chasin' the clout That's not what I'm about, no doubt, I hope they die out I grab the microphone, get in the zone and go in My freestyles are lethal plus I'm nicer with the pen I relax and take notes, I master the art of Zen... Matter fact... f*ck rap, I'll become a monk at Shaolin Muhfuckaz wanna play but I aint with that shit Lemme get right real quick, hold the mic with a vice grip On point like an icepick steady makin' ya mind flip Impossible to forget showcase intelligent wit The Inner Mind's Eye is Infinite, I never quit Know the flow is legit hip hop this shit is lit I exist despite the haters hopin' and wish that I slip So either f*ck wit my shit or hop up off of my dick Bitch shut the f*ck up you aint fuckin wit this Steppin to me you need an army so go run and enlist Throw hands swell up ya lip and have you talk with a lisp I hope you drink piss and then choke to death on your spit Don't trip, if its all love we be smoking a spliff And if you got lungs we can burn bout a zip I never puff anything that isn't considered piff Twist it up, blow clouds and disappear in the mist I'm on the rise, full of pride, no surprise my prominence Its uncommon how I compose my prose that's common sense A king like Tutankhamen my aura is hard to miss Dumbass muhfuckas will struggle to get the jist Like I speak in Sanskrit, write rhymes in hieroglyphs I continue to evolve as the sands of Time shift You been lookin for a real lyricist well this is it T.I.M.E. The Inner Mind's Eye is Infinite
