​post covid 19 Battle rap is dead War is over if u want it West Hawk tapes Represent DOG DAD POSSE WINNIPEG WHAT!?! Welkom 057 TPG next generation  Sustainability type shit for the children Battle rap is over I’m a label executive and a dub composer And when I raise my voice…. It’s over We don’t fight for no more sport  Deadass Bebop Born of the Great War blip My Concurrent Multiverse Wipe that dirt off yo shoulder  The war is over Too many dead battle rappers Too few successful label crews  Too many converts  Too Many  Missing Too many women and children Too much battle rap Not enough mental action  Super duty knows it’s tough work So many one loop bands  Still only one ROOTS WTF this continent deserves a better class of emcee Before this time of horrors how shit Battle rap is over We flow cyphers Jazz has only begun to unfold In this universe  Be patient stay open Save the art of conversation  Too late for mediation  I’m here to stop a conflagration  Battle rap is over END SESSION
