If I was in the BET Cypher you would see me
In the background initially, locked in and listening
Blue hoodie, ooh should he be present?
Please set it off well, the first spat 16 a verse that
Had the crowd clapping, I mean
Wait, it's pre taped
Assume that they like it in the room
'Cause the hype is through the roof
Who is he, they don't know
Watching on a sofa in a room with your bros
If I was in the BET Cypher I would prep up
Studying various tempos, rest up
Write and memorize, recite and recognize
Any mistakes, record, recite, replay
No time for cliche, no rhyme that he say
She say, they say hip hop heyday
Gotta bring my A game, no Bs and Cs
So I go BET, on the show he BP, and
[Chorus]
If I was in the BET Cypher I would kill it
Mic check 1, mic check 2, get it
If I was in the BET Cypher I would rip it
Mic check 1, mic check 2, kick it
If I was in the BET Cypher I would kill it
Mic check 1, mic check 2, get it
If I was in the BET Cypher I would rip it
Mic check 1, mic check 2, kick it
[Verse 2]
If I was in the BET Cypher it would read
"Wilmington, DE" as my caption, action
I contact camera 1, camera 2
First punchline, yeah it gained a laugh or two
Nothing recycled from a record or mixtape
Masterpiece crafted for specifically this day
This moment, as I hop around with the cordless
Mic, got the hype, under lighting record this
If I was in the BET Cypher I would get
Mad drops from the DJ, cutting up the beat, yay
Replay, replay, eat it up, cheat day
Get it on the fifteenth listen but you keep missing
All the subtleties, mind blown crumbling
Bassline rumbling, no great line stubmling
When I'm done politely pass the mic
To my right, step stage right, yes have a great night
[Chorus]
If I was in the BET Cypher I would kill it
Mic check 1, mic check 2, get it
If I was in the BET Cypher I would rip it
Mic check 1, mic check 2, kick it
If I was in the BET Cypher I would kill it
Mic check 1, mic check 2, get it
If I was in the BET Cypher I would rip it
Mic check 1, mic check 2, kick it

Twenty minutes of dark, loosely-constructed grit, inspired by winter nights in Chicago. Timely, resonant and remarkably efficient. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 15, 2016
