lirik lagu man of met – opening statements
[verse 1]
don’t worry how the money’ll change me, ’cause
i’ll never get it anyway, too much of a renegade
and like they say shady did jay, my pen displayed
perfectly, why these other rappers shouldn’t work with me
it’s a matter of, egos protected, see they
neglected where, effort should be directed, ‘stead of
setlist, prep and investment, they’ve, settled for
less than true, excellence in the booth, as evidenced
by who, plays the games by my rules, which
includes not, spitting sh~t i can disprove, through
quick use of, common sense, or an inquiry
into, your history through mutuals, guess who
by this set of guidelines, i can rhyme with, side by
side, it’s not quite, as long a line as you
might guess, which is why you get, so few
guests on my sh~t, no time, for some unqualified sidekicks

flow first, then the words come in after that
message from the god on how he populates the habitat
flow first, then the words come in after that
message from the god on how he populates the habitat
[verse 2]
… and my commandments start simply
idolatry is not to be tolerated, don’t tempt me
i keep a calm demeanor but my wrath is unforgiving
rappers aren’t my kinfolk, you’re more akin to kindling
tryna test my temper, gotta be kidding
i won’t afford you mercy when a he~rs~ is more befitting
claim to carry torches but you’ve hardly been convincing
when my shine leave you blind, and these flames have you flinching
… it’s just a matter of time
before the silly yarns you spin all begin to unwind
when that happens i’ll be laughing, happy that i could witness it
breaking down exactly how it is that i predicted it
… spoiler alert: your priorities weren’t
sorted for this kind of contact sport
jack warden shouted down in court, you’re out of order
abort, this trial ‘fore an outcome you can’t afford
[dialogue excerpt]
mr. kirkland, you’re out of order!
you’re out of order! you’re out of order!
the whole trial is out of order!
they’re out of order!
that man! that sick~ crazy~
hold it, hold it!
i’ve just completed, my opening statements
[verse 3]
i made hay while the clouds converged
you ran away, that’s a coward’s cure
don’t be ashamed ’cause you lost to a better man
but be afraid that a devil has the upper hand
’cause i won’t settle for less than what i sought when, first conscripted
in this war that defies description
my role’s far from stonewall, short of one regard:
i fought seven day battles where i stormed and charged
against folks that were hopin’ to force us all
to conform like the performers they focus on
when promoting songs that do the most to harm
the development of art, so an open palm
i extend like an olive branch, or an advance
label heads hand out with a list of demands
if you wanna help me throw a monkey wrench in their plans
be sure the stands where i play stay filled up with fans
[outro]
