It's called a cypher
We can build or destroy
It's called a cypher
We can build or destroy
The cypher is a circle with all points connected
Where you get your boogie off and the weak get disrespected
The cypher is so sacred, takes place on hallowed ground
B-boys seek to battle on a mission to follow sounds
Beat-box DJ's banging on the table
Is the way we settle beef since the days of Cain and Abel
Ask Popmaster Fabel, the jams of D.M.C
Where DJ's battle for world supremacy
The cypher's not always round, but always on the square
Breakers be on the ground, but I'mma put the weed in the air
The cypher's like the wheels of steel, and scratching makes me itch
I get hyper with the lyrical skills when the DJ catch my pitch
When the fader's being switched, everything live in the mix
But still off the cut like I wear it on my wrist
It's called a cypher
We can build or destroy
It's called a cypher
We can build or destroy
The cypher, the cryptic writer, the mind igniter
I'm a rhymin' designer, a line after line of rhymer
See I'm a 80's rhymer
The crazy kind of you can't phase me rhymer
I write raw shit like I'm writing on baby diapers
I blaze these cyphers with basic shit
Savage, I'm on that kill for 8 type shit
Hit after hit, all classics, spittin' the grit
You talk that hickory dick, you getting lickety split
This what you get, you ain't taking nothing from me
The GOAT that steps to KRS is the GOAT that's getting curried
Brain matter, I'm the original face slapper
It's been so many years you must have forgot we used to chase rappers
Now I bust on these nappy headed hoes, I must
You ain't Bad Boy, talk big, get your eye popped
That fake shit's not us, you know how fresh Chris is
Career killer, I write death sentences
It's called a cypher
We can build or destroy
It's called a cypher
We can build or destroy
Time is of the essence, every breath another second
I'm down with Marshall Law, fighting through the game like Tekken
I ain't be got no weapon when I camel walk like Johnny
Ringing bells when I rock the mic, it's poison like I'm Ronnie
Bob and weave through the and pull off in a New Edition
Rapping is fundamental, wack MC's be steady riffing
I just stay in my lane when I'm on the scout like Kiffin
Look for volunteers, when there's a drought I'm in the kitchen
Cooking up some special treats, not talking trout when I'm fishing
I cruise through a hump with heavy clout when I'm on a mission
I'm special with the verse, every line an education
While y'all wrestle with the verse, I rhyme in meditation
Standing on one leg, balanced on a Lotus
But still pack the nine for judgmental niggas who ain't the SCOTUS
You can roll with this, when you done, pass the lighter
Rhymes going counter-clockwise around the cypher
It's called a cypher
We can build or destroy
It's called a cypher
We can build or destroy
