lyrics
(Intro - DRENT & Kleenkut)
HIP HOP ISN'T DEAD...WE'RE KEEPING IT LIVE
Homicide, murder beats, assisted suicide.
Feeble emcees, transparent, we see through
Who's too afraid to bite these hand that feed you
(Verse - DRENT)
This ain’t engraving, it’s victim an impact statement
Hip hop's been on trial on several occasions
Ya’ll rap for the cam because you’re in front of it
All lobbyist and publicists we ain’t fucking with
Consciousness don’t profit, nor does prostitution
People fuck you over then say, “I fuck with ya movement”
The world’s cruel, that’s the hand of survival
ILLWORDS, bite the curb....leave em dead on arrival
(Hook - DRENT & Kleenkut)
Sharpened edges, left beheaded, choppy message,
Death sentence, If I wrote it, then I fucking meant it
Wordsmiths, ill and literate, murderer's cursive
Murdering words with, curses, words refurbished
Sharpened edges, left beheaded, choppy message,
Death sentence, If I wrote it, then I fucking meant it
Wordsmiths, ill and literate, murderer's cursive
Murdering words, with curses, words refurbished
(Verse - Kleenkut)
Working graveshifts, souls admist grey mist
Looks soulless, I gotta admit, no ones got dope shit
Orange lamps lit, reveal dim wits as graves shift
No condolences when ethered, I've got nothing to dig
Creativity lost spirit, we're carrying spades
and scythes to bury slain emcees throwing shade
Pretruding gates, six feet is shallow to our depth
Whatever doubts you have, illwords will put it rest
(Hook - DRENT & Kleenkut)
Sharpened edges, left beheaded, choppy message,
Death sentence, If I wrote it, then I fucking meant it
Wordsmiths, ill and literate, murderer's cursive
Murdering words with, curses, words refurbished
Sharpened edges, left beheaded, choppy message,
Death sentence, If I wrote it, then I fucking meant it
Wordsmiths, ill and literate, murderer's cursive
Murdering words, with curses, words refurbished

DRENT & Kleenkut a.k.a. ILLiterate Wordsmiths aren't just a play on words. ILL WORDS are a deadly combination of haymakers, hard hitting punchlines, boom bap beats, and knock out performances that'll make any MC hit the deck!
