Cop a Lesson Songtext
von Chasm

I don′t sleep, I got a mind like a vagabond
Through cold streets, under night lights I travel on
I flow deep like the White Nile and Amazon
With O.B. writing tight rhymes for songs
I battle on, no ink and a prompt's due
Hip hop′s the small fish that swims in the rock pool
Spit that I drop's fueled by desire to change shit
Make MCs through to the lines of the Matrix
Wack samples are my nourishment form
I'm still hungry even though I′m fed up with my government′s laws
Surviving times where if Howard was reading my sentence
He'd send me to detention for speaking against him I′ma keep the offensive, I can't be silenced
My voice′ll stay heard over the blast of sirens
Craft enlightenment from a path of violence
Just tryna add something to my art that's timeless
Ride endless tangents like a Benz in traffic
Pennin′ classics with flow that's enigmatic
Melding manic prose up to Technics platters
As long as I speak my mind the rest don't matter
Set the graphic template for pos to develop
Wanting to get to truth with philosophers′ ethics
This southsider rolling with Astronomers′ methods
Once you're coppin′ a lesson you ain't gonna forget it

So listen to these sounds of the Elephantitis, oh
(Never gonna forget it)
′Cause no worry no more, boy, you know that you'll like this, oh
Crazy days and blurry nights give the right fix, oh
(Never gonna forget it)
Bring the light and see that all the light′s strange, oh


Yo, ignorance is a bliss, uh, but we won't go with it
So hand me the mic, plant the A-class device
To shatter the silence, whoops, now there's sirens
Heard all the way down south where residing
No hiding now, outside the playground
Yes, we came to town and we plan to stay around
Laying down quotes like Seth Bullock lore
You dead wood and all, watch that ledge you don′t fall
Like base jumping with no chute
We slay drunk gigs, known to say something
And bring the beats to boot, like a left from sixty
Not often out of the stores, man, ′cause we play on quickly
Never laid it on thickly (This or that?) not strictly
You might need gloves 'cause my themes are prickly
Containing venomous elements like Howard victories
I′ll deliver my sentiments and be judged by history
Are you with me? Harbour City to another
With red sails in the sunset, sound the trumpets
Reach for the stereo and bump it
Just a brief yo to let y'all know that
We ain′t done yet, having fun, yes
We keep it hot like the centre of the sun gets
Move crowds like gun threats when the front row gets wet
Crush shows, no effort
Once you coppin' a lesson you ain′t gonna forget it

So listen to these sounds of the Elephantitis, oh
(Never gonna forget it)
'Cause no worry no more, boy, you know that you'll like this, oh
Crazy days and blurry nights give the right fix, oh
(Never gonna forget it)
Bring the light and see that all the light′s strange, oh

You′re gonna have such sweet memories, young days
And all of the summer heat and melodies
(Never gonna forget it)
You ain't gonna forget this
When the Astronomers blast it, oh
(Never gonna forget it)
You ain′t gonna forget this
When the Astronomers blast it, oh
(Never gonna forget it)
You ain't gonna forget this
Ooh, never gonna forget it
You ain′t gonna forget this
Never gonna forget it
Never gonna forget it
