Jay "Quokane" Cruz, Pro Quo and Professor Lyrical - I Wasn't Nothin’

It's the sure shot, make the metaphor drop
Hanging on to something since I grew up on the block
People take you down and break it down to what you got
Looking at your feet, calculations getting dropped
Listening to beats we tryna break up out the box
Losing lots of sleep cuz we be doing what you not
Fueling all my heat these winters cold up in the spot
Gassing all these sheets when I be speaking off of top
Supplying for these streets I ain't Bigger without Pac
I be lying to you each if I don't tell you with the Scotch
I'm either trying or I'm dying when I'm riding over chops
Think I'm flying and I'm crying over everything I mop
When they was telling me I wasn't nothin'
I called on all my brothers and my cousins
I never lie, to me, that's how we function
Ride or die, that's the only thing we trust in
When they was telling me I wasn't nothin'
I called on all my brothers and my cousins
I never lie, to me, that's how we function
Ride or die, that's the only thing we trust in

If y'all know mathematics is sick, and Pro's the nastiest
Then what's the reason Yyou would cross me like X axis
Is you out your mind, when I rhyme, weaving a narrative
Conceived more clean since probably Jesus of Nazareth
Now, what you seeing's the second coming of Lazarus
Lyrics fit for museums, lines cover pages like atlases
These Mary Magdalen feet cleaned with no calluses
Went from them street teams, to sweet dreams in palaces
Swinging the X-Caliber swift, lifting these chalices
Dippin' these feather pens into ink thinking up passages
Had no talent for rap and my class average was
Falling deep in the labyrinth eating sleeping these battle raps
My math aptitude, evident since the third grade
With verbal skills ever since thenmurderous word play
Mostly my attitude only thing ever challenged me
That's why I show my faculty gratitude when they challenge me
When they was telling me I wasn't nothin'
I called on all my brothers and my cousins
I never lie, to me, that's how we function
Ride or die, that's the only thing we trust in
When they was telling me I wasn't nothin'
I called on all my brothers and my cousins

I never lie, to me, that's how we function
Ride or die, that's the only thing we trust in

My Dean passed me through the School system
Spit rhymes in the classroom everybody different
D minus to an A, Mass finest pull the grades up
I don't want a day once tryna buy today's lunch
Lenny told me blaze up before your days up
Figured how to raise the maze up I probably praise luck
And y'all drinking, Morpheus hands and y'all thinking
Glorious lands where man's driven, Pluribus bands seeing addition
Multiply facts subtract all of the subscriptions
Bonafide raps react to the truth given
34 C's on the line rock swishing
MC's I look for anything missing
Just be's need to see the seven seas in collision
Can't believe superstition got degrees in the kitchen
Deadweight mortician, Featherweight hard hitting
It's a Cruz expedition, Cruz Line through the threads that I'm stitching
Blue lines, cocaine not envisioned
Red lights, no brass on a mission
When they was telling me I wasn't nothin'
I called on all my brothers and my cousins
I never lie, to me, that's how we function
Ride or die, that's the only thing we trust in
When they was telling me I wasn't nothin'
I called on all my brothers and my cousins
I never lie, to me, that's how we function
Ride or die, that's the only thing we trust in
