[Verse 1: Rapsody]
Dark nights been cold like night veins
Serve ^!$$%s chills, I'm ill like Mike Caine

Express and I stress the best, I'm insane
To these (*##$es like Miranda, I'm lyrically Bruce Wayne
Pain I felt it and belted it out in sorrow

Broke days, way too embarrassed to ask to borrow
A dollar for a quarter a gallon of gas tomorrow
Struggles by the car load had me lower than Carlos

Borders we sorta ignore 'em like $#&@ a lock yo
No plan drawn still stone cold, a Picasso
Nothing quite impossible, something similar to Pac though

Young poet, we know it, sow it so it'll grow blow
Where the wind take me, money'll never make me
No matter where I go, so money'll never break me

Though I been broke like pieces of soap pasted
To cleanse my soul bands like grams we raising
Reaching for better, it's whatever I'm Kevin Bacon

X men out that want none a part of my making why
Bane ain't a match for this emcee
And Dark Knight bat wings need a M3

All y'all drool for Ra's al Ghul protégé
I've been cold as Jay on "3 Kings" ^!$$% get schooled
I am the, 5'3" Morgan free-flow genius

Underground killer like Bane whole team is
They couldn't cop me now they stuck underneath me
I took a leap of faith and I climbed up easy

Rap-so-deezy and Eric Jones, I Gotham City
I save ya all from the bad rappers in ya city
And let you take a couple jewels like the cat lady

Dark Knights rise again Jamla we back baby
Yea
I say Dark Knights rise again Jamla we back baby

It's so quick to flip and crown a next king
Trip like crips do the blues make us swing
[Low as the flow where chariots rider wings?]

I decoded the message arrested by modern bling
[?] lives that never use knives to bring
Themselves up a notch only took a stab at a dream

Coliseums, used to pray to him, the Elohim
Witnessed the door to door and I guarded it like Hakeem
The Idi Amin of all these idiots mean I know

Toe to toe go with the best that they throw in the ring seen
Lot of despair, pair me with none of them things, two left
Feets only dance to the beats with B's we rep

Honesty, my history Cherokee and it's African
Deep blue cinnamon, every bit of the black in him
Embrace heritage, capitalize like acronyms

We higher seed, no need to deplete it like the Vatican
And Benedict ourself, deplenish all our wealth


[Bridge (repeat until fade): Rapsody]
Never blame a man for misfortune, do it yourself


[Verse 2: Wale]
Ain't rocked a 9th beat in a minute
I ain't even with ^!$$%s

You slight breeze, I'm wife beaters in winter
I'm a product of Reaganomics where the law is a greater problem
Where the ^!$$%s is spraying something and they got 'em

Word to Robin, that's Gotham
That was fiction but I'm talking about the district
Where business is booming for bird flippers and morticians

And I understand the plight of Bane
Except we using other drugs just to fight the pain
It's coming apart, I'm hoping to God you ^!$$%s ain't playing

Cause I'm more Patrick Bateman and y'all Bruce Wayne
And I do my thing really
Folarin spit pepper, young veteran

You ^!$$%s lack season like a torn ACL-a
Level headed, I put this wit in yo lady belly
And I bet my digits 'bout as thick as Fat Belly Bella

I'm like the new fella meets (Goodfella)
Good guy turned [he'll?] do the crude business
Manute linked is a list of ^!$$%s that may envy

But I eat danger for lunch, breakfast, and plate empty
And I leave the place with some choice ladies to fellate with me
And I pull hoes like cellos strings, ^!$$% hear my symphony
Of the Opus Mr. Holland ain't got nothing on
Hollerin' at these hollow heads, we both shallow but I am raw

Fly as $#&@, who the $#&@ is y'all to compare me to them peoples
^!$$%s questioning they outfit like Jim Carrey on the sequel, get me
