[Verse One]
Hey yo the second that my rhyme drops
I'll leave minds blocked
With more blind spots than a cyclops
I stalk the sidewalks looking for rappers who want to battle Esoteric
The only breath control today we hold cuz' all the lands are shiftin'
I'm doing just what you expected: rippin' the mic in half
Striking pyschopaths, slappin' at your writing staff
Iconic clash then presario
Me and 7L choppin' rhythms like a Navajo
I'm a throw wack kids into the water rapids
Hijack the kayak I'm the venus fly trap
You nothing but a lilac
You got a battle rhyme you better hide that
I leave you side-tracked like double vinyl
My rebuttal's final
so save your little comeback with one rap that leaves you with a hunchback and dunce cap
Rung tracks are under my spell
Your DJ, he's not on the cut he's in the cut hiding from 7L
You better tell us of his whereabouts
Because we're about torment,
check the def rhymes I'm sendin'

[HOOK: 7L]
On the microphone def rhymes I'm sending
Def, def, def, def rhymes I'm sending
On the microphone def rhymes I'm sending
Def, def, def, def rhymes I'm sending
On the microphone def rhymes I'm sending
Def, def, def, def rhymes I'm sending
{Scratching} Listen to the ace as I rock the place

[Verse Two]
Your so delicate and fragile on the microphone
That when I knock you into next week
I'll package you in styrofoam
That alone, silence your cheese like natron nomes
I shatter domes when I flip it like a palindrome
Rap is ridiculous now this astrophysicist
I send them back to Earth to melt the whack fentiforist
Witness this I'm taking theories of these scientists
I'm provin' them wrong yeah your crew is wrong
Now move it along,
It's Esoteric, 7L is on the crossfade
We toss gradades at your stage so get a blockade
Superlative, lyricism is affirmative
I'm sick of hearin' who these rappers think they working with
You couldn't sweet talk your rock into a beatbox
I swing from treetops like Ewoks
And land cheap shots on your weakspots
Speed not to ?????
I play some ????? on conveyorbelts
The fader melts when I take this, turntabilist
By his pancreas put the tone off
Through his own arm
Mentally sound like a sonar
Extending, with the def rhymes I'm sending

[Chorus]

[Verse Three]
I raise your IQ to mine because I know your scared of heights
Scared of tearin' mics rapper's like you should be wearin' tights
I'm a strike the Metropolitan, bottling my oxygen from fresh air
On air and off air
Even In a lawn chair
I cause fear like a bomb scare
I keep the beat like a lawsuit
From a rock group with a heart loop
Your out or you development like a Yetti
In the Sernegetty, or the Sasquatch from the catwalk
My rap stalks the track cops
I'm catching all you foul ballers like a rap star
You say I say my name too much
But I bet you say it more than me once the mic gets clutched
Your rap sucks, like algae
Throwing that powsy wowsy
Pretended, check the def rhymes I'm sending

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
