Longevity - J Live

With or without the mic when my mind gets phonetic 
The mouth gets kinetically energetic  its simple as your alphabetics 
My words you mark and never mock  long as my name has been Jean Jacques 
I keep you open like your pupils in the dark. 

Dogs bark  at the gate  to negate what I create 
Still I write rhymes  regardless of the stop signs  
In tough times or nice times 
For shade or for sunshine 
Throughout time  all times have been the right time, to recite mine 
To mankind 
Who wants mine, come get mine 
You best combine minds 
Before you cross that fine line 
And say who is so called inclined 
Press rewind 
You'll find if you're blind, you can't see 
How this defines and redefines M U S I C 
Who I be 
H I P H O P, you know we 
As them strangers 
That some wish they could be or not to be 
Impossibly 
As it transcends from hte pen, to the key to the mind 
You will find an emcee, good enough to envy 
As long as I'm alive 
It'll send me to that next shit 
That some just can't get wit' or F with 
My almamada tolf you that "it don'y quit" kid, it don'y start until it 
all seems to be so easy 

Chorus: Easy, Emcee is my ambition, The incredible, lyrical and 
original emcee is my ambition 

Who in their right minds thinks they can put a stop to hip hop 
If it don't stop till I stop 
And I don't stop till it stop 
Fake emcees that soak props like rag mops must get dropped 
Risin' to the top of the bottom 
That's how I got 'em 
If your hearts glass ceiling is my mind's glass floor 
Whose style do you suppose 
Reaches higher plateaus 
While you kick those sellout flows 
In hope to sell out shows 
But get your spots taken easy as the wind blos 
J remains repin all the heads whole steppin 
Whose style shall be the illest 
With or without the weapon 
With or without a doubt I maintain with just the facts 
Improving skills with or without the record contracts 
And yet still 
If that beez the case my presence was a gift in its own right 
So I remain strong 
Long as 
Hands cap on 
Snare drums tap on 
J's word stays bond 
And cornballs who rap get snapped on 
Live lyrics will be just that 
Just phat 
Just right for all those who feel my flavors tight 
I'm dedicated to the flow 
The only way the true lyricist could ever make it seems so easy 

Chorus 

As I reserve the right to renovate the Raw Shack with lyrical 
scaffolds 
Heads are battled as tracks are travelled 
You're unraveled 
Or should I say unrapped in this world where mics get checked and 
all cornballs get slapped 
Alright rhymes get rewritten 
No bullshittin 
Perfected 
JL run point and stays on it 
Mastered styles look back and laugh at first drafts 
Freestyles make toes wanna paydownponit 
Do anything but lay down on it 
Anestesiatics get trapped like rats in attics 
To craftmatics 
but then transform like skilled wax to insomniacs with my name in 
your almanacs infact 
I let my glory be that never ending story 
Like those that still inspire since seven albums before me 
Cause yo 
From this old school comes a new degree 
Yet to be mastered till longevity seems to be so easy
