Good morning/welcome to my story/I'm a simple man building off knowledge from before me/as an observer growing up/people often ignored me/but meanwhile I saw all of your falls from glory/Now let me take you through a journey/not necessarily geographically/transmitting this telepathically/mathematical practical rational thought pushed by a pressure to question what we are taught from the start/Look at what we've got/nonstop onslaught on this hot rock/so where do we begin? A journey of 10,000 miles starts from within/to grow, you must go into uncharted existence/if they don't get it, you may be labeled a misfit/but it doesn't change the fact you have a purpose/their attempts to deviate you are worthless/I'm feeling the rain, won't reside inside the tent with the circus/I'm cutting holes in the top cuz I've had it with scratching the surface/nice acceleration, but I'll be traveling the furthest/but I'm not doing it alone/surround myself with those who know that I've grown/shoutout to the original trio: Bubba and TC, Tr1cky F1ngaz, Purple Queen, Troy, Thadi P, Perspektive, JC, Cerberux good lookin' on the masters/Jake, I see you. 99% of the haters are see through/and I'm exposing the last 1%/I can't forget to show respect to those that inspired me/Tribe, Dialek, Nas, Papoose, Biggie, Big L, Eyedea, The Roots, Sean Price Rest In Peace, much respect to the Wu, Main Source and Lord Finesse, Jeru the Damaja, and peace to Brother Ali/So where do we go from here you ask?/The beginning of course... To understand the force, you must start with the source/welcome to The Most Underrated.

It's unbelievable where we go from where we at/indescribable in my method, just follow the path/I did the math, add and subtract to balance my arithmetic/so even when I'm full of rage, I resist the pistol grip/with this gift, I swear to cherish every miracle/and try to stay spiritual, cuz everything can't be empirical/I'm hearin' you, on your last leg/the pain is searing through, no matter what is fearing you/you gotta switch the gear to 2/when you're stuck in one place, and heal your pain with rum taste/you need knowledge of self to up your wealth at a dumb pace/ain't talkin' gold bars, I stay driving old cars/steady like a neutron, live my life with no charge/that way, I can live my future any way I want to/the second they see you plus or minus, that's when they got you/fought 2 sides of my head 'til there was nothin' left/then I built myself up with each and every single breath//Don't want you to be like me, I'd rather you be better, and never sever your 9th letter to avoid the measure/chip away the useless gristle, but accept your flaws because if you changed, I would miss you. Get ingrained with your pineal/go with the wind like pinwheel, or the current like a finned eel. Your gills kill more krill than when 4 whales chill/the bill filled your will, I got less than I anticipated. I'm not sophisticated, but I'll have em sayin 'oh shit he made it'//Chorus: To each God his own. I'm mine, so I'm on my throne./Writing poems that roam from my cerebellum to Rome/I'm nurturing my seeds, and keeping it home grown/I'd rather see some green, ain't fiend for no chrome/But when I'm talking green, I don't mean it to seem like paperbacks/I mean trees, bushes and leaves. You need to make it back/they'll break the pact, they're fake and wack, they're fakin', Jack, they'll bake the cake with crack/just don't say where they at, or you're facin' major crap/everything I say is for a reason, and I'm not craftin' this track for your appeasement/only release it if I feel it/you rubberneckin' like an egret when he see fish/just chill, I will release it when I see fit/then I'll tell you peep it, you'll inject your mind with 4Mative/I warned ya kid cuz most cats are born to fib/I orbited the molar of the solar system, exploded and was born again/What's livin' without a home within?//Chorus//I'm speakin' from the heart, so why you reaching for the dart to put me out of my misery/apathy toward my history from the start/no clemency for the art, why they tend to be on the chart?/cuz the industry think they smart, but I think they taught the kids to not get caught/exploiting one another, so I mutter 'cover the number' to my younger brother/I was so close like a putter, but I stuttered when I spoke to god/I suppose it's odd until my soul clawed to enlightenment/the wick was wet, I couldn't light it/overcome with excitement/what comes next, didn't know if I could fight it: every negative feeling I've endured/all at once, future was not ensured, but I weathered the storm/cuz I created my norm, and that's ok with me cuz moral vacancy'a replaced by angst, you see?/I'd pay to see these fake MC's be honest every now and then/why you bully the different? They're special, so you are clownin' them?/be careful cuz someday the spotlight may be surroundin' them.

Gettin' real tired of people acting like they know what they're doing, and they're just copying another style. Why's is so hard to be fuckin' original?//Chorus: Why's it take money to please 'em, Rockefeller or you beneath 'em, are you surprised how I treat them?/You rarely stand up, 4Mative keep it frequent. Leave 'em like Bernie on the weekend/The strength of their trust funds will weaken. I will be a deacon on a beacon, speakin' to the meek and/we can be the people who will keep these weaklings shrieking. If they say 'nothing to see here,' I'll keep peekin' while they tweakin'//You packin' rhymes, man you're not wack, you're fucking blind/underline times in my mind, and pull back the rind/There, I find my inner artist. It's about real-ness, not who's the hardest/Don't act like you got no feelings when you shootin' up the target. Don't get me started/You got me worked up. To keep writing, I had to meditate. For heaven's sake, the devil does not hesitate/you knocking up at heaven's gate? Chill out let me set it straight/Magnetism levitate, counteracting heavy weight. Now isn't that a miracle in itself, but we refuse to use besides novelties on our shelf/Magnets could be utilized. Think of the possibilities, I'll let you decide: transportation, infrastructure, space travel to animation/it's so damn amazin', it's blatant as lamination, but we choose to use fossil fuels for no good reason/besides the fact that J.P. Morgan committed treason//Chorus//I dig deep in my soul, and I seem to perceive a hole/chisel through the corrosion, my serotonin gears are frozen/I've been chosen to make sense of this universe we're living in, so now I'm open to a mends with the rudest verse I've spitten/Man, I never have thought that I figured it all out. That's why I surpass the crass and don't ask the bigger mouth/how to think, bout to sink, found in ink, mountains shrink to mole hills with no pills, I just hold quills and wrote real/GOAT's kneel but spoke ill, window seal broke woke feel, I'm so chill but flip the switch on when I spit/some are so insecure, this they can't even get. Think you have to be a killer to spit something legit/so their album full of fillers and their lyrics are shit/confessin' in the booth givin' proof that they're a low life/po-po trackin' their tracks, so I don't have to give them no hype/and you know I'm right, you recite that shit back!//Chorus//You see, I'll never beg or pressure someone to become a fan/I'd rather cross your path naturally, don't want no Stan/I wrote this while unknown, so you would know where I began/I never had a craving to be told that I'm the man/cuz I know that I am/If I wasn't rappin' I'd be rappin'/scrutinize my signature down to the atom/I've lived in realms that you can't even fathom, so now I'm mappin'/no X to mark the spot-it's inside your abdomen/so why are you stabbin' them/earth holds 7 billion journeys, live life like a round robin, no elimination tourney/more points for living well, lose points for giving hell/times 2 for givin' help/if you lie, all your points go straight to those in jail/if prisoners meet a goal, then they get parole/then we'll see how the future unfolds/molds meant to be broken with the words that I've spoken/you playin' games but runnin' low on tokens/now you're hopin' you'll get a free play, but these days, free gets you weak bars and poison/I'm above that, so I threw a rope down and now I'm hoistin'/grab hold, dry brains get moistened.

//Chorus: Mic cord pop in, rockin' hip hop again. Yo, when he grab the mic, ain't no stoppin' him// I'm The Most Underrated/progression can demonstrate it/confession: I never made it, I was jaded/well inflated, smellin' sacred/clever vagrant tellin' mesozoic ancient/metal welded with paint chips/meddle with spaceships, it's basic/ain't shit sweet with this genius writer/so don't picked a peck or pickles like you Peter Piper/you begging to blow smoke like you need a lighter/plug it like an old cork and make 'em freeze saliva/appease the spider/you used to giving it up/I know a lot of people who act like they givin a fuck/but turn your head and they the first ones that will sip from your cup/act a big dog, your bite is like a lick from a pup/I'm sticking 'em up/it's about damn time/I had to get it out before it's banned like land mines and hand signs/man, I'm quite a sight to see, do you agree?/I humbly decree my modesty decrease lyrically//Chorus//Is this the final exam, should I grab the vinyl and scram? Does iron man use a bed pan? Yes ma'am, let's jam/less spam, more noodles with shrooms and 2 poodles/and you dudes can't have none/but I'll watch you watch 'em for fun/I'm starving you for days/scarfin' larva for waste/sprinkle some karma for taste/nobody slaughter harder with grace/you ain't Scarface, you got a scar on your face/and every hero needs a villain, but you ain't no Czarface/so I switch up my method/perplex em' with a brain stem retractor beam/slits and severs your spinal cords/I'm laughin', actin' obscene/impactin' your dreams/back on the scene/cuz you cannot cure addiction by attackin' the fiends/and you cannot lure a vision by subtractin' your means/look within yourself like bad cells attackin' your spleen/so it helps to stay healthy/no wealth but stay wealthy/calm the criticism cuz this is my first LP/or is it an EP? Fuck an abbreviation/if you got beef, and you need me for mediation/I'll end both of your careers, and call it a deviation/inebriation is playin' with satan's ingratiation/I'm on pace with makin' all of my inner demons awaken/so stand close, and you assholes will turn to bacon/don't stress, I won't devour/eatin' meat is false power/y'all just sour cuz your diesel is mids and mine is louder/so you compensate with snortin' that powder/but nah nudda crowd lover sound butter when they say they run the town/n they sound like another brother from the gutter sellin' drugs undercover, stealin' money from they mother/we're all cut from the same cloth/from Gandhi to Bernie Madoff, from Ali to Adolf/spread love, it pays off/I made off with nothing but my words, but still unheard/it's absurd, I guess I'm just a dumb nerd/but you a plump turd//Chorus x2//Well I'm awake in my solitude/mind empty as heaven/can hear the wind in the distance and a woodpecker peckin'/everything is fair, so minutes turn into seconds/as time passes, I ask why are there taxes if everyone is self sustaining/no reason remaining to rob the masses/it's blasphemous/capitalism is cancerous/communism is corruptible, so I don't ask for much/no need to pass the Dutch cuz I roll my j's in hemp just to keep my body kempt/so my mind can do what it's meant/yeah, my name is Brent, that's why I chose 4Mative/I'm not supporting, I'm warning kids that your life ain't half bad/cuz you could be stuck up in an orphanage/and nothing is perfect like porridge is/Peace

Wait, what did I just say? I've been spending too much time with Happiness/just thinking of the moment I give Benny a throat slit/then watch Intelligence sew it while screaming 'oh shit'/My next plan can't be foiled cuz I won't wait for the bait to be spoiled/just the thought of her doing good makes the hate in me boil/I'ma siphon petroleum with my homie Explosive/spray her with oil, flick my Bic, ain't I sick with it?/but get this, we stood face to face/her skin was ablaze, she wasn't fazed/even her braids resisted the flames/this sister's insane, I told her she must not know pain/she replied, "Pain was my father until he got slain by you and Vain"/oh right that was the night me and Vain tried to slay Hope/she was pregnant at the time, I guess that's why Pain saved Hope/but years later, I claimed Hope even though she'd say nope/so to this day I restrain her with chain and rope/"Wait, what? Are you saying my mother's still alive?"/Benny was clearly gaining strength, time to get serious/Yo Furious, looks like she's curious, you hearin' this?/No response, he sprinted to fulfill his bonds/spraying radon like James Bond, she stayed strong and gained on/At this point, she was glowing blue in a really annoying hue/with a commanding voice, she said, "Rage, I call on you, your plots are through!"/The hunter became the hunted, big swing, I shoulda bunted/still a lot of fight in me though, so here we go/Charged with charred eyes at the woman I despise, throwing thousands of knives and swarms of poison flies/mid air, the knives stopped, rotated and made the flies get chopped/surprised and shocked, I made sure my 9 was cocked/she caught the shots and fell to her knees with a grin, said, "Rage, you'll never win but try again and again. I like your enthusiasm, what an interesting chasm. Resentment, grab him. I think it's time I smack him"/Resentment was bewilderingly large, quickly filling me in on who's in charge and who is disbarred/threw me in front of Benevolence, she grabbed me by the neck and said, "Take your demons and leave, and never come back or you're dead!"/We agreed to the terms, but neglected to mention we would return the second they don't expect it/so no matter how strong you get, Benny, I will end you/whether one try or many, whether one die or plenty, you get me?

'Round dinner time, half past 6/break from work, tryna forget that math exists/hop in the whip, that 98 Saturn shit/next 30 minutes, bad shit gets banishment/I take a right on broadway today cuz I crave tacos from that fast paced place that's next to wackarnold's/no product placement, y'all be patient cuz the exchange I had on the way was quite amazing/anyway, I turned left into the parking lot/next to the entrance sign this was the sight I caught/a young cat, like me at the time/except for him, couldn't count all the scars he got, but I was fine/back of my head said, "your grandma got cancer, you're filled with many questions, maybe this guy has an answer."/You never know unless you approach/so I mustered up the courage to go/as I got close, he didn't change his pose//Chorus: You never know, so let it show. Let me know, we gotta grow/You never know, so let it show. You gotta go, cuz we gotta grow//Staring in the distance, barely knew I was there/sitting on a backpack with his hand in his hair/looking like he thinks his life is over, so I inch closer, put my hand on his shoulder and ask him if he's doing alright/initially, he said, "yeah," but that's a reflex response, so I asked, "are you sure?"/he said that he's lost. I asked "where did you come from, and where are you goin"/he said he hopped a train from California to Wyoming/Cheyenne to Bismarck, St. Cloud to downtown, downtown to uptown, he decided to clown/that was last night, but he was with his 4 friends and his dog/they stayed together all along from dodging conductors to losing his brother/they were there for one another through thick and thin, so he held them deep within/I know what it's like to care deeply 'bout a friend, but he said when he ordered a tonic and gin it was the end//Chorus//Racist bartender spiked his drink with glass shards/esophagus full of blood, he needed a fast car/got to the hospital urgently, emergency throat surgery changed his voice permanently/woke from anesthesia hoping they would be there/he was wrong, they didn't even stop dancing to this song/must have been a bystander who drove him to the hospital cuz they agreed they'd hop the next train as fast as possible/I asked, "Where are they now?"/he said, "Probably on the next train to Madison, I can't believe this is happening. They took my dog, cash, phone, and I.D."/I said, "God damn man, your friends are grimy"/but I was speaking blindly. He replied, "the past behind me,"/speaking of behind, my ass was late from break/I ran inside and got him a quesadilla with steak, a citrus soda, a fork and a plate/no fresh steak, so I was forced to wait//Chorus//When I came back, he had a look of desperation/he already walked 10 miles to this destination, so he wasn't timid to show his appreciation/thanking me as if he was low and I raised him, in return I praised him/using my wisdom, I didn't think it would phase him/cuz he's a free bird while I'm over here caged in/but he listened in amazement of what I had to say when I told him it's ok and every dog has his day/and everyone has their fate, you followed yours before it was too late/most people on their death beds are still filled with hate/what you're doing is brave, so for you, I pray and one day when you're safe, you'll be glad you kept the faith/maybe we'll meet again, even though I can't remember your name, you'll always be my friend, man, that's simple and plain/when I'm in the middle of pain and fame, I'll always know my soul stayed the same/and I have you to blame

In love songs, artists rhyme crazy with baby/and I'll never make the mistake of thinking someone will save me/but when I met you, I knew someday you would amaze me by the way you looked me in the eyes and never tried to change me/we never acted hasty though sometimes it felt we should have/no regrets, you know me best, no more living in loneliness/life without you's erroneous/you show me that ya boy be blessed/choices poise us in coitus, but we were only friends/connected on the no meat trend, more valued the more we spend/time, it felt like we could bend, Thunder Bay 'til day's end/vacations daily blazin', facin' prospects of datin'/and I was not opposed, we go like flax milk and Oreos/but we knew the story goes, roommates date and turn to foes/so we were patient and let our foundation grow/few months later, I can't wait no more, so I ask her while we're on the road/would you be my girlfriend?
