Lyrics

[Verse 1] You want the fly shit, you got the Wright brother Catch a chem trail right after I fly over I battled alcohol, had to brawl like a soldier Vowed to never fall, now all my nights sober Refine my mind, reclinin' on my sofa Designed to rhyme and strike kinda like a cobra My pen's venomous, poison tip sentences Paralyze your sterile mind and leave skin blemishes "When is he gonna fall off?," some of the people wonder You're more likely to see a foot of snow in summer I'm not mainstream, the tide can never take me under I'm Clyde Stubblefield, the rhyme is my funky drummer I write this like my ancestors wrote in Kemit Before the Bible or any man made religion Architect, civilization, science and spirit That's why I never lose sleep if y'all don't feel it I'm in my own lane, it has no speed limit Psychedelic mind is assault without the weed in it I'm at the point of no return, too deep in it Weak and timid turn back, but I proceed with it I lost track of time, felt like I was unconscious Then dreamt somebody stole my style and I can't stop it Top to bottom, whole thing like I was Mantronix Woke up with a rhyme, half asleep in my boxers If it's gonna happen I go a step beyond You know the true architect when you hear the song The foundation for the underground you're standing on True fans gonna miss him when he gone [Hook] Respect the architect [Verse 2] Right, you can find many rappers more complicated But not many if any higher nominated I'm at the top waitin', my album top rated The brightest rap stars not in my constellation Tryin' small talk your way into the conversation But I dominated kinda like a dominatrix Till the point that my biggest haters stop the hating And pass the peas like a plate to the congregation The most holiest, atop is the loneliest But only cause I don't associate with any lames Expose the phoney, show 'em how cold it gets With flows that go against the grain No doubt I play the shooter and coroner if need be When you know the party droppin', catch it when it's easy My rap pedigree command respect Blueprint, the master builder, the architect [Hook] Respect the architect
