I Don't Rhyme

[Intro: Blu]

That's one of the biggest things missing in hip-hop

Rappers don't rap for rap's sake, just to be like if, to just—

Remember, cats used to just, "Oh, this a hot beat, I'ma just jump on it and just throw it out" (Yeah)

That don't even really happen no more (Rewind)

Yeah, uh

[Chorus]

We're brothers of the same mind, unblind

I don't rhyme for the sake of (Nothin')

I don't rhyme for the sake of (Dollar bill, y'all)

I don't rhyme (I bust)

I don't rhyme for the sake of (Clout and)

[Verse 1: Blu]

Nah, because I'm much more serious

The differencе between R-A-P and a lyricist

Rap is just somethin' you peep when you curious

Hip-hop is somеthin' I speak from my experience

I freestyle to let out aggression when I'm furious

And get complex and conceptual when they're hearin' us

You lookin' for the most mysterious, have no fear, it is not me

But when you need the top seed, here he is

My first appearance on a Exile record

Was made to make all the shorties on the floor get naked

But since then, I've been toning my message

In a completely more relevant direction

Except I still be flexin'

They play a conscious record 'fore they play mine

Enough pressure to make the rain fall daytime

Still we deliver like the mailman, statewide

[Chorus]

We're brothers of the same mind, unblind

I don't rhyme for the sake of (Nothin')

I don't rhyme for the sake of (Dollar bill, y'all)

I don't rhyme (I bust)

I don't rhyme for the sake of (Clout and, nah)

[Post-Chorus]

Never, never, ne— ne— never (I bust)

Ne— ne— ne— ne— (You get fucked up, put some weight on that shit, Ex)

Ne— never, never, ne— ne— never

Ne— ne— ne— ne— (You get fucked up)

[Verse 2: Blu]

Uh, a lyrically killer, Cali killer

Semi-auto spiller where they offer iller

Off you niggas like he off of Thrillers

Call your Hitlers and your Mussolinis

'Cause you will never just Gaddafi me and guillotine me

Off the top, I drop between dreams and reality

My anatomy is actually like a Philistine, battle me, uh

I'm in the Philippines actually

Salvaging a kingdom built by the native king who dropped my first album

Curse the mountains, they explode lava

Praise volcanoes, they never wake on your island

The most violent with the four-five and no 9-to-5-in'

But twenty-five ate your plate like we starvin' artists

For they royalties and they publishin'

But doin' you a favor like you loyal to the hustlin'

Boy, was they buggin' when we busted in

[Chorus]

We're brothers of the same mind (You can't win)

I don't rhyme for the sake of (Nothin')

I don't rhyme for the sake of (Dollar bill, y'all)

I don't rhyme (I bust)

I don't rhyme for the sake of (Clout and)

[Post-Chorus]

Never, never, ne— ne— never (I bust)

Ne— ne— ne— ne— (You get fucked up)

Ne— never, never, ne— ne— never

Ne— ne— ne— ne— (You get fucked up, rewind)

I bust, I bust

Uh, Exile here puttin' it down

You get fucked up (Rewind)

Bust, I, I, I bust

Bust, I, I (You get fucked up)

Bust, I, I

Get fucked up (Uh)

[Verse 3: Blu]

I'm the phenomenal, and I promise you that I will bomb on you

Even make your mama move out of state and adopt a new child

Before you learn to adopt a new style

I'll just pop a few and stop your crew now

Blu the new Nile River, flowin' through broken land, spoken word

Hit you harder than the open hand, know you heard

About the dopest band, two turntables and a mic stand

Like Emanon without the lightskin hype man

Iceman, colder than Iceland

Why you at your show like someone said you don't like fans?

Damn, sunshine, you get a slight tan

White man, Black man, Chinese man (Rewind)

I might write the verse to unite the Earth (Earth)

All praise due to the two like the church

True like the first time you knew it was us

(We're brothers of the same mind) Trust (Rewind)

[Outro]

I don't rhyme for the sake of (Nothin')

I don't rhyme for the sake of (Clout and)

I don't rhyme (I bust)

I don't rhyme for the sake of (Nothin', nothin')
