Don’t Teach It, Be It (ARVYN response 3 to ZEN)

[Intro] nah… don’t do that. you started teaching mid-battle? that’s different. --- [Verse 1] you talk like a teacher, I talk like it’s real you givin out lessons, I’m showin the skill you said a bar break a man down to the bone then why every line you wrote sound like a loan? you stackin opinions, I’m stackin results you sayin “get better” — I show you the fault you tryna coach players that came here to spar you buildin a class — I’m buildin a scar (stop) you want respect? then prove it in line not lecture the room while you fall out of time --- [Verse 2] you said if it don’t make a face scrunch, it’s wrong I ain’t see one line yet that lasted this long you talk about visuals, pictures, and schemes but none of your bars left the page in my dreams you rappin about bars like you just found the word I’m placing them clean — you just sayin it, heard you said you don’t plot, just load up and fire that’s why every shot fall short of the wire (stop) you sprayin the room, I’m placing the aim you want us to learn? then carry the flame --- [Break] nah… don’t teach me. show me. --- [Verse 3] you call yourself “great,” then explain it away that’s not emancipation — that’s just what you say you freein nobody, you freein excuses you givin out speeches instead of producing you named every person, tried spreadin it thin that’s not domination — that’s fear settin in you wanted the smoke? then stand in one lane don’t throw it at all and then dodge all the flame (stop) you said you go harder? then go. --- [Final] I don’t need volume to prove what I carry you talk like a coach, I move like it’s heavy you said this is light? then that’s where it ends cause light don’t shake rooms and light don’t bend pens you want us to climb? I’m already there you still at the bottom explainin the stairs (stop — half beat) next time… don’t teach it. be it.
