I’m the alphabet assassin, A to Z in my veins / Call me Noah, arkin’ verses; flood the game when it rains / On this work I leave marks, two by two with the flow / While you babble on like Babel, I’m constructing the show / I’m a phoenix with phonics, resurrecting the text / You’re a typo in my novel—proofread to death / Two hundred words per minute, call it “grammar track meet” / I’m the predicate predator; verbs move at my feet / Hyper-linking through the lines, web of wisdom I weave / Got you tangled in my language, call it Spider-man’s sleeve / I’m so dope with diction, I got DEA bars / My lines spaced out farther than the milky way stars. Word flips, mind tricks, every line’s so cray / I make the letters pirouette like a spelling ballet / Call it “Wordplay”—I’m the pun game sensei / Twisting meanings like I’m bending light through brain rays / Wordplay—syllables on display / Wordplay—laced with layers to slay / Wordplay—double on, tonn, dray / Call it “Wordplay,” I majored in E.L.A. Yo, I’m the oxymoron oracle, jumbo-shrimp of the mic / A paradox with power; yeah, I’m wrong when I’m right / Put the “sword” in “wordsmith,” I’m sharp like my prose / Split your wig like a semicolon—pause, then it blows! / Punny business in my head, yeah, I’m CEO / These similes stock options, watch the value grow / “Cold fire” in my brain, Shakespeare in my veins / I’m out here twisting tongues like a licorice chain / Palindrome porsche—see my race car speed? / Flip my flow, it’s the same; I’m a lyrical breed / Homonym heavyweight, homophone headlock / I’m the punisher of paragraphs, the grammar gridlock! Word flips, mind tricks, every line’s so cray / I make the letters pirouette like a spelling ballet / Call it “Wordplay”—I’m the pun game sensei / Twisting meanings like I’m bending light through brain rays / Wordplay—syllables on display / Wordplay—laced with layers to slay / Wordplay—double on, tonn, dray / Call it “Wordplay,” I majored in E.L.A. I’m the keyboard samurai, control-alt-deleting your pride / Caps-lock my intensity, shift your paradigm wide / Every space “bar” I press makes the cosmos collide / I'm the typewriter titan; scripting worlds on the side / Run-on sentences sprint, period full-stop slayed / Quotations in my head—dialogue of the insane / Ellipsis for my rivals, yeah, they fade away in time / While I underline the underline, italicize the grind / Rhymes so “meta,” even Zuck is confused / I’m out here ghostwriting spirits with my verbal abuse / I’ll “tab” into your psyche, break the fourth wall loose / And leave the cursor on your conscience till you rewrite the truth. Word flips, mind tricks, every line’s so cray / I make the letters pirouette like a spelling ballet / Call it “Wordplay”—I’m the pun game sensei / Twisting meanings like I’m bending light through brain rays / Wordplay—syllables on display / Wordplay—laced with layers to slay / Wordplay—double on, tonn, dray / Call it “Wordplay,” I majored in E.L.A.
