My Name Is Griffin - Tunnel Rats

Yo chosin minds came to open ya blinds and let the sunshine

Present the only hope you can find note the technique uphold the Mastermind

We define let the rest be cause this is why we really inclined

Day we met peace there’s been a change of course but I found

What really kept me from absolute was counterfeit sound

Nuff said, that’s why I’m chained to my pen

Forcd to drop what you can bang on both sides of ya head

Scourge the lie 'til it’s dead and let the real bear the scepter instead

Keep a sharp eye betrayers hawk the lost and misled

And mock but we legitimize the path that they tread

Kept a quick step in spite of all the people who fled

With eyes locked on the prize and all the tears that we shed

We breakin new ground somethin for you phonies to dread

Gave it all just to carry this cross so it’s all loss a great gain for such a

low cost

(Look who flew in on the red eye flight)

Wake up as the sun rise, player, my name is Griffin

(Trap your heads with words said)

Enough of the hype, you either marching or you slipping

It’s hard sometimes to harness a vibe and rock a hard rhyme

When what you love is really part time

It’s not a question if loyalty runs through ya lineage

Or a past of mis-education and foolishly made decisions

We all walk a road where you can live or be chalked

Make noise or let hypocrisy deny what you talk

We’re either seen payin the price or caught in a vice

But it’s ultimately the soul of the lost that we sacrifice

So playin your cards right while spittin is non-negotiable

I know what I’m sayin I made this my daily devotional

An everyday stroll on this ave can scar you mentally

No tellin who’s official hip-hop from who’s the enemy

Some say the enemy can potentially be the sinner

When most times our own are responsible for the killin

They talk about Christ and mention Him in every L. P

Yet only rock shows amoung the spiritually healthy

I’ll drop a dime mainly for where, whys, and help mes

And sometimes to diss those swearin they never felt me

I ain’t ya third eye blind you herbs ain’t the sly kind

I seen thieves better than you robbin for nickels and dimes

(Look who flew in on the red eye flight)

Wake up as the sun rise, player, my name is Griffin

(Trap your heads with words said)

Enough of the hype, you either marching or you slipping

Sick of followin ya guidelines I put it on God

I’ll follow nothin but His lifeline from now until my flat line

Rap is my past time, it keeps me intact

And together when pressure wants my third sculpture to crack

I lay the map out so those who wanna follow or spectate

Can watch me as I lead this generation and test fate

Since day one been rockin wit intentions to bless crates

And make moves crews envying outta checkmate

I’m weavin this web of intricate philosophy

To captivate minds trespassing on curiosity

They all enter not realizin they crossin a line

Then find themselves caught deep inside of a corpulent rhyme

You enter this dragon make sure ya belt is black

But let me warn ya this spaniarican has been through hell and back

My mentality is that of a soldier sufferin flashbacks

Wit love for reenacting em all on nothin but class acts

Combine it wit an ascap it’s doom for the wack

You crews should relax cause deep inside you know you ain’t movin the Rats

Told you wit headlock domes get kept in a tight hold

From now until God say cease fire that’s how the dice roll

(Look who flew in on the red eye flight)

Wake up as the sun rise, player, my name is Griffin

(Trap your heads with words said)

Enough of the hype, you either marching or you slipping
