Enter the Temple (Rukus Crew + Bear Aspentree Collab)

[Intro] You told me, using any technique that works Never to limit myself to one style To keep an open mind [Verse-MC-P] Rukus crew droppin rhymes that came from a different age They cut sharp to the heart like a samurai's blade We entered the temple and then conquered the realm Stepped in the center until our presence was felt With lessons in these lines, they've been scribed on the pages With a funky design so they last through the ages We Climbed through the stages, and we training for battle then claimed our own mantle, takin this game up the ladder Handled the challengers, learned the ways of the mike Emcee'n the discipline, we kept on earning our stripes Writing these rhymes we rose up through the levels With the bear in the mix we all masters of the temple [Chorus] enter the temple and learn the fundamentals "teach me" of the ways of hip hop, so you're learnin the essentials "I can do it" [Chorus] enter the temple and learn the fundamentals "teach me" of the ways of hip hop, so you're learnin the essentials "I can do it" [Verse-Bear] Rukus been the torchbearer decades in the hall of fame MC P and Leebo both legends in the game Never stuck to lanes y’all shattered every frame Crossed styles built bridges never played the same Now my path hit yours that alignment ain’t chance I’m here to study moves level up advance. Rhyming with the titans catch the wisdom you teach Iron in the cipher fire in the speech This more than just tracks it’s a temple in the sound Every verse a mantra every beat holy ground His first fight in the kumite broke the fucking world record!
