UNIVERSAL MIXTAPE VOL.1 (Track 2)I covered a lot of ground on this track.Check for the multis in the second verse.
I am Prime-One,a.k.a Vincent Van Flow,16-Bar Assassin,The Vanilla Thrilla,amongst other handles. I've been writing rap songs off-and-on since 1987. I prefer to think of myself as a lyricist as opposed to being a rapper because there is a difference. Anyone can be a rapper...it takes pure skill to be a lyricist. I'm never content with where I'm at on a lyrical level and I keep pushing myself forward and stepping up my game. I got a lot of different styles and I drop all types of different shit so you never know what I'm going to come out with next.
Lyrics
(1st verse)
Sixteen-bar assassin,Enterprise captain
Where no man's gone before's where I take rap in
Everlastin',stand tall like skyscrapers in Manhattan
My epitaph should read 'the embodiment of passion'
No need for actin',I'm real and stay chill like Alaskans
Dream of dough stackin',foe smashin',throat graspin'
An Anglo-Saxon so ill,you need the Vicks vapor action
Smarts,there's no lackin',seen and done a lot
Been down hard roads with low traction
Soul blackened by the cold globe,froze with no jacket
Feelin' the eggshells below my toes crackin'
But the story goes that the phoenix rose from ashes
I give you the facts,my views aren't seen through rose glasses
Take you into my projects with no keys,no passes
Represent lower classes,speak in bold fashion
Skill encoded in my deoxyribonucleic acid
(Chorus)
Passion,respect,intellect,music,and effect
Is Prime,and there can only be one
Militant,diligent,with my pen I'm killin' it
And there can only be one
Notable,quotable,gifted and it's noticeable
Yes,there can only be one
When the smoke's cleared dissipated and disappeared
There will only be one
(2nd verse)
Perfection is attained from practice
Now I'm like Galactus,capable of consumin' the whole atlas
Crackin' the lids,shacklin' limbs
Shine bright like the lights on the Ambassador Bridge
Illuminate and cause headaches like monosodium glutamate
Biters I fumigate,style few could duplicate
Stick to my guns,draw and shoot 'em straight
My eyes see three-sixty,mind's in a lucid state
If I could choose my fate,my words would be heard by the human race
While my cash accumulates,amassin' a huge estate
Hard hittin' cruiserweight,play life like chess
I've got moves to make,use the same approach when I communicate
Put fools in mate,let 'em stew with hate
Feed off it and rejuvenate,I've got dues to take
Those who refused to embrace me made a crude mistake
I assume a place in rap as one of the truest greats (chorus)
