Lyrics added below
I swerve in and out of one lane
trynna find beauty in the mundane
mistake happiness for numbed pain and complain
become chained to constraints
circumstances unchanged
this my sunday service
back to spit the gospel truth
my noteapps the book of doom, back to my comic roots
zoom meetings w the office suits
we grow the seeds they show up autumn just to harvest fruits
WNTR droppin soon-
I kept it under wraps, they want the whole seasons pack like a ramen soup
I been avoidin me cause I can feel a void in me
Dont play coy w me, thick skin like the bark of a sequoia tree
How can I make this point poignantly?
I'm finished wasting time wishing I was someone I still got the choice to be
Hit A boiling point in Boyle Heights
like a diamond back in Caballero Canyon coiled when I'm poised to strike
Walking bad omen
For my native land stolen
And my Black Panthers, rest in piece Chad Bozeman
These ya last moments
Eric Brooks meets Bram Stoker,
BLADE in my hand like Old Man Logan
masked shogun, last ronin
climbin out of this pit, felt like Batman w his back broken,
Severed ties, ain't no true hell without hope
How so? dog in me- pissy in this house broke
Big dog, pissed off yeah I been gone
they missed me, I been withdrawn now they got withdrawals
W Avo At the gym working off a pandemic
Depression trynna catch a 30 but i cant let it
Shit I Cop the whip in cash I dont have credit...
But I max out on any beat my voice touch
If u wanna stand out, avoid us
Was either Rap or hoop and I got- No Jumper like my boy Lush
I glide across the SFV
been the best should feel blessed if u the next best thing
Squatter rights how I'm living in they heads rent free
All the gossip, fuck rap yall shld Blog instead
buncha cry babies bottle fed
One big Sewing circle, thats why we dont share a common thread
Aint no Outliers in sight
Just trynna give an outsiders insight
Then Pat passed and in the weeks coming
A fan said he felt a way that I aint tweet nothin
Guess I dont' think of social media to grieve someone
I guess the sucka free idea never reached someone
Imagine me showing up to a strangers funeral
and telling the friends and family they aint cry enough
And u wonder why im tucked, dont need that kinda love
plus the shit still raw like designer drugs
Cried a river caused a giant flood now its dry enough - got me Fired up burning viaducts
All That Whining sound like sirens on a firetruck
Underdog’s, Put ya team on ice like the mighty ducks
My mind Electrifying like get lightning struck twice at once
I got the Midas touch
I'll Crush a comet into diamond dust,
Dying breed I’ll skin a rhino for its ivory tusk
When its time to hunt, tell me time flies...
catch it mid flight, quick strike pit viper
Got it locked under pressure, My pen like a pits bite
yea I been gone just trynna live life
had to throw some jabs in this quick write/right
Cause Aint no outliers in sight
Just trynna give an outsiders insight- illy

Illmac is one of the greatest poets of all time. This is bigger than rap
“I’m finished wasting time wishing I was someone I still got the choice to be.” Damn. Illmac never fails to hit you with the realest shit. True artist and lyricist. R.I.P Pat 🙏🏽🕊️
That hit me hard too..
"I'm finished wasting time wishing i was someone i still have the choice to be". Illmac hitting us with so many quotable it's ridiculous. Dude has the wisdom of a thousand philosophers.
"Guess the 'Sucka Free' idea never reached someone" LMAOOO would hate to be that guy
We back! The next 2 Raising The Bar's written✍- Dropping exclusive content weekly www.patreon.com/IllmacTV s/o the squad supporting🙏
been waitin for 2yrs for this to continue lol good sh!t homie.
I've been avoiding me cuz I can feel a void in me
🔥
Back months later...."One big sewing circle, thats why we dont share a common thread" is concise, simple and direct. Genius as usual sir.
Those Pat bars 🔥🔥🔥
"they missed me, I been withdrawn now they got withdrawals" facts tho. be checking for WNTR once a week for a year now
This is the definition of art
Not every rapper is an artist
men, the levels of word play 🔥🔥🔥🧯🧯 i wanna write bars like that
do it
Mistake happiness for numbed pain then complain 🔥🔥🔥
Between the beat selection and the scenery this is going to age extremely well. 💯
Ill showing once again why he's the GOAT.
If Battle Rappers could have their skillset represented in stats, Illmac would be the closest to 100% overall across the board.
Give this man his flowers while he's here. Nobody does it better, in my opinion.
mistaked happiness for numbed pain, --- so few rappers deal with philosophy, will never stop listening, ill.
No lie I think Ill immaculate wit it, Originally snappin on beat as hard as deep,
As soon as I heard "Underdog’s, Put ya team on ice like the mighty ducks" It's like you directly spoke to me...
Lol 🫡
Insane how these things keep getting better
Just trying to live up to the series name lol
@@illmacTV I doubt you've got the ego to call yourself the GOAT amongst rappers, but you are the GOAT of Battle Rap for certain.
Pure poetry as per. It's a shame to hear you say "RIP ____" far too often, but life is harsh like that unfortunately.
Yessssssir. Guess who back back back….back again !!!!!
He puts out the best music out of the battle rappers. He is easily one of my favorite emcees.Just greatness. Always sharing him on Facebook
Amazing as always. We need a lot more of these. And more 1above sessions too!
