Artist: Unique and Dashan Album: Black to the Future Song: Poet in His Own Time Typed by: jostmatt at bluewin dot ch [ PRELUDE: Unique ] I wanna start this off different, not like the old one Before the beat was fast, now it's a slow one So I guess I'll have to change my style It matters not to Great Unique because I'm versatile My ingenuity enhances my ability to rhyme Yo, you should know it, I'm a poet in his own time [ VERSE 1: Unique ] I been rappin since '77, I was 11 Breakin and brutalizin, sendin suckers to heaven I never lost a battle, I very seldom had one Cause in the outcome it was a sad one It took a while for me to get well known But now the king is here to swing cause he's on top of the throne So make room for the searg', son, cause he's the large one If everything was free I wouldn't charge none But things are different, don't take your way home Cause you'll be lost in the sauce of the Twilight Zone And then Unique will smack you right back to reality, chump Then find yourself as a bum and me as rich as Donald Trump See all my lyrics are dope and beats are thick like molasses Homeboy you're blind, so you better go get your glasses Then take up a course in remedial rap classes In other words what I'm sayin is I'm kickin asses So ask yourself: Do I really wanna do this? Knowin it in your heart that there is no way you can get through this Cause I'm built like a China wall, and I will sign you all Over to the authorities, but first I line you all Up from the smallest to the tallest head Because the bigger it is the faster it will go to bed The way I rap is like I'm breakin down a plus degree Since I'm your dad that means I have legal custody So what are you talkin back for? You must be smokin crack, or You're just a monster kid, so wouldn't you like a fractured jaw? Besides I owe you one, so I'm gonna show you one Chic technique, don't speak because I know you're done Something that the aftermath will bring a repercussion Case dismissed, there's no further discussion So like I said before, catch up, you're behind Cause I'm poet (cause I'm a poet) in his own time [ VERSE 2: Unique ] When Great Unique is on the set pump the volume up loud Cause when I'm freakin you'll be thinkin I'm a part of the crowd Because there's more than just a stage show, turn a page, so We can continue, then you can let the rage flow It's unleashed on those who oppose Now they're froze from their toes to their nose cause they chose To be different, exactly total opposites But they all step aside when I'm droppin this Bomb of harm dispersin toxic fumes You make an ass out of yourself if you decide to assume That the Great could be late cause I'm always on schedule Put your money where your mouth is and I bet you will Leave empty-handed, you'll be stranded Disembodied, dispelled and disbanded With this gift I can uplift your spirit That's why I speak loud enough for you to hear it But now it's time to show 'em, just write it in a poem I'm blessed oh yes so I guess it's time to slow 'em Down so you can catch every thing that I say Cause what I do is a profession, not a thing for play The microphone is like a heart and the rhymes are the brain The beats is the blood and the mix is the veins That's why the music makes the body move to the tempo Last stop - I think this is the end, bro So tell the world that Unique is def Because Allah taught us right before he left But I be back to kick another dope rhyme Cause I'm a poet (cause I'm a poet) in his own time [ Professor X ] Vanglorious This is protected by the red, the black and the green With a key Sissyyyy
