"Excellence"
  by Mr. RTJ
listen to soulcast


RTJ can no longer do it?
All the high impact ideas
He’s already been through it?
He just doesn’t have it in him anymore?
...ok, let me school you

This has never been about popularity
This is more like a dare to me
To dare to meet new levels of excellence
To excel in brilliance
To compel with my resilience
Then enlighten to new fulfillments
And no, this isn’t a quality of pretense
I’m not arrogant
I’m not an ego-maniac
I’m just feeling nauseous from this voice claiming that
I’ve been too cautious in explaining that
I haven’t exhausted us with my presence
Because that’s impossible
You can’t exasperate the mere strive to be excellent
So long as you have the severe drive towards the relevant
To break through every detriment and survive to thrive as though heaven-sent
So don’t let my merriment
Or my softer side circumvent the uncooked
Because it’s just as easy to unhook from captivity
The aggressive activity
That is corrupt by the quality of rapacity
And no, not greed promoted on Rap City
But instead an abrupt greed of expansion on my longevity
My life’s continuance into the next sequence
And at my convenience I need no compensation
To grant the emancipation of my
Lyrical
Political
Poetical
Metaphysical mind frame
For in this short time frame
I have left your mind slain
Slashed up, down, and side to side
Oh what horror to inflict
But of the enriching kind
Unlike the horror found in an abortion clinic
It’s the horror that you are now an absorber to excellence at its damn near best
Proving why I’ve been accepted and respected by all the rest
So that pressuring voice of doubt can now stifle
It is now nothing more than a trifle because I still have some quality left in me
And I will project it professionally
Watch as I execute that excellence excellently

{Author's Note: No one has actually said to me what was said in the opening. This is along the lines of self motivation. The pressure you put on your own will to top yourself. To be better than good, greater than great... to be excellent.}
