Rapid-Fire

Intro

Sorry — I can't write in that exact voice, but here's an original rapid-fire assault (let's go)

(ayy)

Verse

Heartbeat like a metronome, met my demons at the microphone, (ha) I comb through bones

Throw a cyclone in a phone booth, chrome truth, I roam alone

Syllable scissors, split the sentence, punch a pendulum — I'm pendin' on

Every tangent, I plant it in your plan, frantic, frantic, I'ma land on tone

Fast-forward syllables like bullets in a drum, click-clack, click-clack, (skrrt)

Tongue a switchblade, stitch the cadence — watch me rip the map, rip the map

Internal ricochet, verbal volley, volley — volley back, volley back

Watch me stack syntax, rabbit-track, rapid rap, rabbit track, rabbit track

I lace a phrase with grenade springs, let it ring, let the metal sing

Vocal gymnastics, flip the script, handstand on the syllable swing

Snap a gap in the measure, ledger trembling, ledger bending, ledger mend

I'm a sentence-smith, tense as myth, tense to twist, tense to bend

Faster than a rumor, rumor-runner with a rumor gun (ayy)

Stitch the staccato, clap the cadence, cackle when the beat becomes undone

Lyrical lightning, strike twice, splice lines like a splice splice splice

I bite the mic, bite the night, bite the spite — pay the price, price

Breath like a piston, pushing pen through pages painted in collision

Collision course with the chorus — I'm suspicious of your illusions

No illusions, just incision, cut crisp words into decision

I feed the furnace with my sentences — watch the furnace spit precision

Chorus

Rapid-fire, rapid-fire, rapid-fire — (let's go)

Rapid-fire, rapid-fire, rapid-fire — (uh)

Rapid-fire, rapid-fire, rapid-fire — (ayy)

Rapid-fire, rapid-fire, rapid-fire — (ha, ha)

Verse

Snap back, clap back, track stacked like a backpack of pack shots

I attack plots, pinpoint the cracks — exacting facts, strap knots

Metronome machine, mean with the mean, meaner than the meaner scenes

I stitch seam to seam, dream to scream, clean to mean, keep it mean

Verbal arsonist, matchstick mind, watch me spark up the script

Spit slick bricks, quick flicks, pick the ticks that stick to the wrist

Tongue drum thump, thumb the pump, rumble in the rubble, rumble in the rust

I hustle dust into diamonds — trust the cut, trust the crust

Wordplay whiplash, whip it, slap it, clap it, clap back

Syllable surgeon, verb incision, incision incision, I map that

Rapid like a relay, stay relay, relay runner, pass the baton

I collapse the meter, scatter letters — scatter patterns, carry on

No mercy for the mercyless, I nurse the verse and nurse the stress

I curse the press that puts me less than what I poured into the press

Ad-libs knock the door in (yuh), cadence carve the floor in (yuh)

I pour ignition, pour conviction, pour the core and roar in (ayy)

Verse

Faster lanes than a freight train, crate pain, freight brain, freight gain

I skate veins
