Lyrics

[Intro]
(Scratch: "Double... double... double..." fades into vocal echo)
Yeah. Perseverance Perfectionist in the lab.
Two meanings, one line. You hear the surface? Good.
Now dig.
Check the syntax.
[Verse 1]
I’m the verbal surgeon, suture the cipher with precision
Incise the microphone, leave the opposition in remission
I’m spittin’ two meanings, a linguistic illusion
You catch the front door knock, miss the back door’s inclusion
I’m a double threat, double decker, double entendre
You’re readin’ the headline, I’m hidin’ the truth in the annex, sir
I’m stackin’ syllables, tactical, mathematical
Every line’s a trapdoor, practical, theatrical
I’m the architect, erectin’ the verse with a blueprint
You’re skippin’ the chapters, I’m diggin’ beneath in the deep end
I’m the heat in the booth, but the heat’s a cool summer
You’re chasin’ the phrase, I’m the one that’s the plumber
I’m the master of craft, I’m the half and the whole
You’re payin’ attention, but missin’ the pulse of the scroll
I’m the pun and the profound, the jest and the thesis
You’re chasin’ the chorus, I’m writin’ the pieces
I’m the two-toned titan, the twin in the trench
You’re swingin’ at shadows, I’m dodgin’ the wrench
Double-edged sword, but the blade is a mirror
You’re cuttin’ yourself, I’m just sharpenin’ clearer.
[Hook]
Double entendre, I’m bendin’ the grammar
Two lanes in the line, I’m the phantom, the planner
You catch the first face, miss the back in the margin
Double entendre, the cipher’s enlargin’
I’m speakin’ in code, but the code’s in the open
Two sides to the same coin, the balance is rollin’
Double entendre, the pen’s in the chamber
I’m cockin’ the word, but the word is a hammer.
[Verse 2]
I’m the perseverin’ professor, the pressure’s a lesson
You’re chasin’ the viral, I’m buildin’ the session
Double agent, I’m playin’ both roles in the matrix
You think I’m just talkin’, I’m actually takin’ the basis
I’m the fire in the room, but the fire’s a glacier
You’re readin’ the literal, I’m the literal placer
I’m the surface and the depths, the tip of the iceberg
You’re skippin’ the verses, I’m draftin’ the verse work
I’m the double entendre, the mask and the motive
You’re chasin’ the quote, I’m the source of the notice
I’m the underground veteran, overground engineer
You’re countin’ the streams, I’m the ground that is near
I’m the pen and the sword, but the sword is a stylus
You’re scratchin’ the paint, I’m the carvin’ the tile us
I’m the veteran spittin’, I’m never retreatin’
You’re chasin’ the tempo, I’m settin’ the beatin’
I’m the cipher’s commander, the crown and the crown
You’re lookin’ for answers, I’m layin’ ‘em down
Double entendre, the game’s in the grammar
I’m lightin’ the fuse, but the fuse is a hammer.
[Hook]
Double entendre, I’m bendin’ the grammar
Two lanes in the line, I’m the phantom, the planner
You catch the first face, miss the back in the margin
Double entendre, the cipher’s enlargin’
I’m speakin’ in code, but the code’s in the open
Two sides to the same coin, the balance is rollin’
Double entendre, the pen’s in the chamber
I’m cockin’ the word, but the word is a hammer.
[Verse 3]
I’m the lyrical locksmith, I’m pickin’ the lock on the block
You’re turnin’ the dial, I’m the key that’s the knock
I’m the double entendre, the joke and the truth
You’re readin’ the punchline, I’m plantin’ the root
I’m the master of metaphors, half of ‘em hidden
You’re chasin’ the obvious, I’m the one that’s forbidden
I’m the veteran spittin’, I’m never retreatin’
You’re chasin’ the algorithm, I’m buildin’ the street in
I’m the pen in the pocket, the paper’s the canvas
You’re draftin’ the draft, I’m the master of balance
I’m the double entendre, the truth and the lie
You’re askin’ for proof, I’m the proof in the sky
I’m the cipher’s commander, the crown and the crown
You’re lookin’ for answers, I’m layin’ ‘em down
Double entendre, the game’s in the grammar
I’m lightin’ the fuse, but the fuse is a hammer
I’m the two-sided coin, but the coin’s a conviction
You’re flippin’ for luck, I’m the weight of the fiction
I’m the pen and the sword, but the sword is a pen
You’re writin’ a letter, I’m signin’ again.
[Hook]
Double entendre, I’m bendin’ the grammar
Two lanes in the line, I’m the phantom, the planner
You catch the first face, miss the back in the margin
Double entendre, the cipher’s enlargin’
I’m speakin’ in code, but the code’s in the open
Two sides to the same coin, the balance is rollin’
Double entendre, the pen’s in the chamber
I’m cockin’ the word, but the word is a hammer.
[Outro]
(Beat strips to kick, snare, and a lone bassline. Voice gets closer, drier, more deliberate.)
Yeah. Two meanings. One line.
You hear the front door? I’m already through the back.
Pen in the chamber. Word is the hammer.
Cipher’s enlargin’. Grammar’s bendin’.
Perseverance perfectionist. I don’t repeat. I refine.
(Scratch fades: "Double... entendre...")
You got it now? Or you still readin’ the surface?
(Beat cuts. One final snare crack.)
