So... Joyner Lucas invited independent artists to drop a verse on the ISIS beat. Now I did mine a while ago but I thought to let a friend jump on it with me. Think of this as the extended version. Lyrics included.
Look forward to seeing more Dot in the future.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1- KamiKaycee]
(I'm)
Nineteen but I made a couple tracks though
might be failing but I can't be stressed though
Not the best but I know it's not the worst so
there's no way I'm ever giving up hope
I see obstacles and all the hurdles
next thing I'll forget that I'm blessed though
daydream bout the future
truth is I sometimes imagine success (Woah)
Yeah, that's isis
terrorize you like a pirate
the wind spirit's on the mix
blow your ship to smithereens
leave you stranded on an island
but I ain't like a these other captains
I'm not impressed by all the madness
I'm searching for one piece of the treasure but where I draw the line might not be the grandest
might not be the (ay)
point in doing this but I just have to wait
putting in the weeks but it just takes a day
a shark in the reefs, negativity at bay
alla y'all are fish, it's no wonder that you flake
I solo no diff, you don't have what it takes
cuz I'm on gear fifth, see the look on my face
but still get miffed, here's what I'm tryna say
when I say Isis here's really what's at play
okay maybe one day I can be amazing
pri flight to places
perform on stages
Ace in the hole, blaze trails, I'm trail blazing
cut like Zorro, Nami-stay t'my haters
Usurp (Ussop) the games an' jeez I'm just playing
like a monkey d loo finna hate me
but eat the fruits of my labour when grit turns to greatness
Turns to gold like Midas
you cannot try this
feet on the ground, head in the clouds
limit just beyond where the sky is
A challenge— I like it
Wake up to a dream everytime I lift my eyelids
(I'm) fighting for a better future one day at a time
callin it operation Isis (Isis)
[Verse 2- Dot]
Whoooooooaaa, we back at it (Energy isn't really something I give) like a baddddd habit, Ayo kc, pass the mic real quick (pretty laid back)
I'm talking ISIS, nah not a terrorist
In this case, it's an acronym
Not shooting up schools from a balcony
I'd rather swing through the city like an Ackerman
"Wing it" that's a bat pun
Finna leave you bruised like it's gothem
ISIS that is the anthem
Not 5 foot but you can call me Captain
Aiming for your nape from the ground up
Cervically disabled, that's how you'd wind up
You thirsty? You look a lil dried up, hol up, what am I on about? Scratch that
Second verse should be same as the first
Scribbling rhymes and playing with words
Charming and cynical, part of my perks
This is what I do best now lemme work
Success what I sometimes imagine
Gimme 3 wishes n call me Aladdin
Was a chick in the 40s, think they called me Katherine
Examine, my verses, tell me if it's unclean
I take my time, I ain't quite-rapid, my flows are somewhat symmetric
When the beat comes up I'm high on caffeine
Hurt numb like I got pumped with morphine.
This is my music
I don't really care what you think
My ego grew too thick
Like an archeologist I always got a bone to pick
I'll keep running my lips, I don't follow the script, never lacking the drip cause I'm that much equipped, watch your step or you just might slip, one wrong move, catch this fist
Failure, kinda feels like a virus
That's why I'll keep working in private
We all need success that'll surprise us
We all need success that'll entice us
Remind us that Hope's still beside us
Remind us that doubt can't deprive us
Dear God we pray that you guide us
Dear God we pray that you advice us
Every Merlin needs a Gaius
If you agree acknowledge us
Spit like an AI, you should call me Cyrus
You can really try and deny us
But the hip pop resides inside us
All I can really say, is ISIS (is ISIS)
