Respect the Architect

You lookin' for me? I'm in the basement makin' classics

Shit that makes you flip like in gymnastics

We separate a sound from the regular

Makin' sure we always stay a few steps ahead of ya

Now when I rap, **** rush like a stampede

It’s Ran Reed, the kid who loves to slam weed

Down my lungs and get uplifted

Proceed with caution 'cause this **** here is well gifted

Understand that I'm raw man

Peace to the Cella Dwellas, Big UG and the Tall Man

Rippin' shit up at the grand

**** can’t stand Ran 'cause they know

I’m about to push a fuckin' land cruiser

Call me the wack Emcee brain bruiser

When it comes to mics, you're the loser

Inject it with the Budda so I lays back

Leavin' dumb Emcees about a few grades back

So step up if you feel that you got your rep up

And when I attack, motherfuckas gettin' swapper

I bring it live and direct

I've come to wreck so back up and respect the architect

So respect the architect as I begin to build

So respect the architect as I begin to build

So respect the architect as I begin to build

So respect the architect as I begin to build

I'm known for makin' brother's brains fry

Me, I supply music that you listen to when you get high

Oblitz, I bought a big bag full of hits

Leavin' tape decks on the fritz

Competition be fishin' for my style but they can’t find it

When they get to close they get blinded

Constantly reminded of all the wack Emcees

That wanna front hard, **** please

To me you're nuttin' but a disease

Waitin' to get chopped off

You was signed to a label and got dropped off

'Cause your record wasn’t sellin'

Nobody wants to hear the same old bullshit that you're yellin'

I pay dues, I want the green shit

That's why I'm lightin' up the blocks like the smooth Billy King shit

Standin' out from the rest

**** can't guess the rap flow styles that I possess

That's why the hits keep stackin'

Jealous jokers lips smackin', gettin' mad 'cause they lackin'

You want props, come real then

Yo, this is the results when Ran Reed starts the buildin'

So respect the architect as I begin to build

So respect the architect as I begin to build

So respect the architect as I begin to build

So respect the architect as I begin to build
