Ill is loving life instead of loathing
Spelling it out twice with acronyms and thus showing
Your skills as an intellectual lucid lyricist
Using my surroundings and experience to give you this
L - O - X ish, yo I'm living off experience
Wonder where Hip-Hop went?
Search no more, you're hearing it
West Coast Tribe vibe, any given time I'd stride
Do my thing over big drums swinging
I be traveling, never drop the ball like a pilgrimage
Wonder where you got the nerve to say you're not feeling it
Now that's an oxymoron, ain't it?
Well, ain't it?
Some say they got the cure
When it's the treatment for what's tainted the game
A rookie with the rhyme, scouts remember my name
A rookie with the rhyme, scouts remember my name
A rookie with the rhyme, scouts remember my name
Remember the name
Yo, it's the I - double l, well - c - to - the - a - n -
D - to - e - s - c - to - the - e - n - t
It's illcandescent, homie it's a blessing to be
Illcandescent, shine fluorescent most definitely
I - double l, well - c - to - the - a - n -
D - to - e - s - c - to - the - e - n - t
It's illcandescent, homie it's a blessing to be
Illcandescent, shine fluorescent
What's illcandescent?
Shining thru the stark and the darkness
Emerging from obscurity, opposite of thoughtless
Witty, shining thru the smog of the city
Repping my town, L.A
It's quite gritty
That's why I'm thankful for the people I'm around
They always hold me down, yet they never hold me down
Here in Cali where they're set tripping like a blooper reel
Shoot - to - kill for blood to spill
Dudes is running rampant, still
I rise above it, the underdog I love it
The worse be the adversity, but still you gotta love it
The worse be the adversity, but still you gotta love it
Got this little light of mine in my mind and I'ma shine it
