It Ain't Nothin' - Gradient

And now, ladies and gentlemen…

It.

Ain’t.

Nothin'

Yo I am a locksmith warlock, escaped from your box

To make the floor rock and take the whole spot

So great, the flow’s hot.

They hate?

They know not

I came to go in when flowin' so insanely fast

How my brain reacts, when I lay the track

I lay these wack rappers down like a pillow with some feathers in it

I come clever with it, they be gettin' hella faded, I’m about to elevate it

Magnanimous animals when we handle calamities

Bilingual like a camera’s manual

Spit raw shizz while I’m wearin' galoshes

I’m awesome, make you feel noxious, caustic

I ain’t goin' quietly when I have flows inside of me

And you have notoriety for having no variety

With piety you try to see as high as me to spy on me

My rhymes are lookin' better every year like Hermione

Yeah, and I’ll be spittin' a bit

So kick your feet up and keep up and listen to this

The historian who’s claimin' all the glory

As an Oriental boy up in Oregon, I’m born to tell a story and

It ain’t nothin', it ain’t nothin', it ain’t nothin'

Rhymes blow minds but yo

It ain’t nothin', it ain’t nothin' (it ain’t nothin')

‘Cause I do this every day, yeah

I’ll back down from no challenge, the flow’s silenced

By no Schmoe when folks know he’s got no talent

You gotta know talent, so recognize I’ve been wreckin' rhymes

Since the frickin' Mayans were inventing science

I been on that.

I’m bombastic, and I’ll brag

Teach a long class, I’m beyond swag

I be on that bomb rap, that go-and-tell-your-mom rap

Go-and-show-your-grandma-the-song rap

Sincerity and clarity are balanced with an air of arrogance

But I’m talented and I’m sharin' it

I’m wearin' it from the skin of my feet to my hair

Other kids bearin' only minimum pieces of flair

Keep it classy like a nice dinner

And I’m new school like the Weitz Center

I’m just livin' in the shadow of my college friends

So here’s a shout-out to acknowledge them

What’s up, Carleton?

I’m a venomous lyricist and the anger is back

Here to set a superior set of standards to rap

I’m a giant;

you could even stand in my lap

When I’m rhymin' you can see that your hand’s gonna clap

So in time, when the hits stop and they’ve made the very best hip-hop

This is the advancement of that

Not sayin' I’m better than every veteran

‘Cause I’m indebted to them but I’m clever and

Ever since gettin' a mic I’ve been makin' em dance to the track

Let’s go

Yeah, and I’ll be spittin' a bit

So kick your feet up and keep up and listen to this

The historian who’s claimin' all the glory

As an Oriental boy up in Oregon, I’m born to tell a story and

It ain’t nothin', it ain’t nothin', it ain’t nothin'

Rhymes blow minds

When I’m in it to win it I’m gonna finish the bidness

Sinners gettin' diminished, it’s like Dennis the Menace

The sultan, you’d be so dim to insult him

He’ll give you a cold grin, so Minnesotan

It ain’t nothin', it ain’t nothin', it ain’t nothin'

Rhymes blow minds

With the timin' impeccable, I’m inclined to go wreck a fool

With the volume in decibels, but all you just better know that

It ain’t nothin', it ain’t nothin', it ain’t nothin'

Rhymes blow minds

With precision, the pan’s sizzlin'

The kid with a damn vision

I’m honored that fans listen

So welcome to Ambition

Shout-out to Ellis Johnston

Odar, this beat is crazy
