Verse 1 (Enigma):
Behold the rival, the rap idol
Alone in my zone I pack lighter
That black bible, unbridled
Unbinded, untapped energy
Rhymes recited reminding them of that energy
Act Proof symmetry, simply string them along call on the symphony
The long arm of the law, sound the alarm
To soundbomb, as tall as the gods, call on the Elohim
Run now before Sundown burn through your melanin
It's E Dot before this heat drops, stops it's sweltering
Varsity league got letters over here
Harvard fellowships, Grammys, cardigan sweaters here
Nine years in we veterans up in this here, so come prepared
Not ready but unaware
D-League pee pee niggas soil your underwear
Descend on em til they depend on me to take em there
Spit kicking, no been spitting lyrical lunges here
Ribs touching, no bibs lunching, taking no punches here
Not an ending in sight, no light, no tunnel
Just writing my opus journal
Might this be my life displayed through mics this way
We enlight the righteous, be insightful
E be mindful, you might be a martyr
Not the king of Sparta, but lead like Leonidas
I be the nicest with these devices
You need a license to fight this, see this mic go lifeless
Like Tyson in the 90s
Chorus (x1)
Sun, moon, and stars
I forever raise bars, 3000 and beyond
To weather these these storms
We forever raise bars, 3000 and beyond
Verse 2 (Sundown):
I figured that you would have equations on the wall and shit
Hand me my walking stick
Push the pyramid to sphinx combination, while we walk and shit
Clark Wallys full of sand, I'm in the hourglass, trace my steps
Time travel to genuflect to the Sun Ra
The sunspots blots, through the ink, I let the writing shine
And the sun spot forever stays hot, like a lightning strike
While I'm climbing on my pyramid heights
I'm on an incline to whisper shit to Horus
Last time for the morbid, I've seen em checking for us
Resurrect the epithets, Imotep in the flesh
Hotep protest, I'd never show my whole stretch
You stress I rest for the moonlight, with the crescent moon breast
And I spoon with the mood, make the binary starred seed to plan inside the sky for me to impress
Touch a young empress
Isis, I just can't help but be the livest
And do not ever speak ill on my team
Osiris, the young and the restless
So childish, sun moon and stars I forever raise bars
3000 and beyond
Chorus (x1)
To weather these these storms
We forever raise bars, 3000 and beyond
Sun, moon, and stars
I forever raise bars, 3000 and beyond
To weather these these storms
We forever raise bars, 3000 and beyond
Sun, moon, and stars
I forever raise bars, 3000 and beyond
Sundown and Enigma have been writing, performing, and creating music that has evolved through the chemistry built over a

Goodness. Reasonable Doubt is one of my favorite albums of all time. This is (thankfully) not a remake. Skyzoo and Antman Wonder have skillfully taken the themes and sounds from the classic and reanimated them with a feel that equally throwback and modern. I listen to this when I want to focus. aplusashley
