I Am The I Am - SA-ROC

Yes, yes, I’m the best.

You the best?

Yeah I’m fresh

Rose gold on my wrist, amethyst on my neck

You impressed, I care less, your whole style compressed

In a box like the rest on a shelf in FedEx

Who am I?

The seed.

I’m the blood that you bleed

The amniotic fluid that the unborn will feed

I precede pen and paper, I’m papyrus and the reed

I’m Earth, I am stars, I am first, watch me lead

I’m space, I am dark, I am Noah and the ark

I am heaven, I am light, I am stillness, I am flight

I’m the heights and the depths, and the all in-between

I am good when I’m good, but a best when I’m mean

Danger, danger!

I eat your rhymes up with a spoon

Danger, danger!

I eat your rhymes up with my goons

We can settle beef under the darkest side of the moon

But you better make it quick 'cause I’ll be out of here soon

Mic check, let’s connect.

You on deck?

Yeah I’m set

Headphones on my dome, yellow beads on my neck

You gon' wreck I’mma bet, since the days of comet

Rock shows with my crook and my flail on my chest

I am two hydrogens plus an oxygen

Melanated so they calling me an African

I am Yaa Asantewaa queen champion

Give me an enemy and I will battle 'em

Who am I?

I’m the truth.

I am 100 proof

I am now, I am then, I am old, I am new

I am joy, I am love, I am pain causing hurt

I am stone cold jewelry in a Rakim verse

I’m Mahogany, Ladies First, Run’s House, Black Cop

Rock and roll, reggaeton, R&B, and hip-hop

Djembe, beatbox, turntable, Planet Rock

Bambaataa, Jam Master, Monie Love, and Sa-Roc

Press-press-press record, you are serf, I am lord

I will slice up your lines with my personal sword

I’m sharp like a mensa with groundbreaking scores

You stay mad 'cause I tower and you’re falling short

I’m life, I am death, I am all things between

I am most times invisible, but seldom unseen

I’m queen, I am pauper, mother, daughter

Air, ether, fire, water

Sorcerer, shaman, sacred, amen

Kali, Lakshmi, Vishnu, Brahma

I’m a vessel, balanced, level

Chaos, discord, heavy, trouble

Single, double, wormhole, tunnel

All-in, nothing, lightweight, crushing

Highest, lowest, teacher, poet

Greatest MC, think I’m bluffing?
