Groundbreaking - GZA/Genius

I’m in the schoolyard rhyming with my brother Jamel and Ra’Allah

Vibe and took the beat, and imagining how far

The sound travel at the turn of the volume

It could shake the gravel, before we heard the loud boom

It vibrated through the parking lot

Shattered a few windshields, set off a sparking shot

The local UPS cat, but we didn’t stress that

He had a slow leak, front tire almost flat

I got a cousin think he slicker than the oil in the chain

But I live in an arcade, surrounded by game

He used to pass me bucks, trying gas me up He was a fast talker, and he kept a flashy cut

From a spot that was on Malcolm X Boulevard

Where this magician, wishing I would pull a card

An optical illusion, and whose hands were quick

But wasn’t fast enough not to reveal his trick

Who be the first to set it off and just begun

Turn up the heat until the track is done

And we roll together as one

Yes, I call my brother son, cuz he shine like one

(Justice Kareem)

Mass hysteria inside the cafeteria

(Not a food fight, but the news might) beat your area

Whether by word of mouth, or if you read about it

(Extra extra, they firmally shouted)

(The drummer played the beat on) the table

His boy kicked a verse, like he was the first (and I wasn’t able)

More prepared to let off anything substantial

(If I had no rhymes and my planes was cancelled)

Picture that, before you give your bag and expose it

(Couldn't develop the color, wonder why he chosed it)

(See less than the worst competition, to the point)

I only use one ear to listen

Was it something I’m missing (the food is getting cold)

The corners about to flake (as soon as I flip the bowl)

(See the rhyme ain’t worth the less tooken)

Wasted time of mine (plus the temp cooked it)
