The Point Man

Since the first time i picked up the pen - i made myself a promise
That everything i'd be droppin' would be considered conscious
Pushin' these verbal phyzix - to become a strong witness
And i've come too far to change my views for weak business
I'm cousin to the big apple - sev statik represents
Albany n-y - the lah born bred
Emcee decending on blocks to send the word
Out to these inner city streets and suburbs 8
I've got an itch to move the crowd and constantly keep writin'
Fightin the good fight - with bad intensions of a titan
Tunnel rats stay annointed - not concerned if i'ma make it
I've addressed my issues - in the sight of god i'm naked
Don't need to impress the world - i'm set free from that prison
I refuse to change my belief - or lose sight of my vision
5 mics don't impress me - when i'm pressed for time
I need one mic and just one rhyme 16

I've done those shows - opening up for so called pros
Down for the beat down on beats to lay flows
It's a blood bath i'm running for the world to be clean
Washing out these scrubs - gettin' all up in between
This industry's dirty spots and stains they've missed
I can't afford to pop kris but i'll pop you in the lip
Been known to crack a joke or 2 - and maybe yoke a few
Fools who'll test this conglomerate - my tunnel rat crew 8
Dope fiends with the mic chek - addicted to thinkin'
Insomniax for fun - but you can't stop blinkin'
Been trained for this competition - i compete for free
My senses are so keen - i can hear you hearing me
So iknow the deal before - you even begin to speak
Whether you agree or not with what i say - i won't cease
A yess yess yall - to the beat 'chall
To the break a dawn - to the early mor n it's on 16

And i'ma outlast your lies - born to die but learned
To survive while i breath these - last lines - concerned -with
Only those who chose to rep the point man at his lows
Not just my highs - that's too shallow inside for me to
Condone - one love to all them bruvuz
And a one two punch-line for all them knuckuz
I see you behind the scenes - tryin' to blow up secretly
Saw me at a show and lied said you was tryin' to reach me 8
I won't be messin' with you cats - that be 2 faced in nature
You talk to much crap and i aint down with copperfazia
Son thought i was too busy - watching my girls at home
For me to pick up a pen or be out rockin' microphones
Your insecurities speak louder than all of your support
I abort your actions in their fetal state of thought
You was my bro at one time but you fell off the beat
Ya cadence got sloppy - and whole facade was peeped
And i'm talkin' about a cat that - most emcees would know
Power went to his head - and his ego got blowed
Yea i sound a bit upset - but i'm dealin' with this session
I refuse to blurt the name - so let the guilty be offended

Chorus
And i've been thru change - went down dark road
I've sewn true seeds - seen friends turn foe
From the 5-1-8 upstate - ny
The point man represents evertime
