REFINE YOUR CRAFT WIZEKRAK: Ill drummer drumming Headucatorz coming through and If you got dope lyrics you control the movement If I see something wack in here I remove it I micromanage tracks and it’s more for my amusement Rhyme pollutant, stand in the sun, skin translucent Edit these rhymes/ perfect flows/ make improvements Careful adjustments/ the same thing I teach my students My words flow over drum beats like they’re fluids MIKEALL: Practice makes improvement Masters remain students Map then aim ya movement Tap in brain stay rooted Graph strengths then play to it Hat trick games conclusion Match stick flame ebullient HeadUcatorz ain’t truant TIGZ: What’s going on? I hate hearing, sir that I’m already done And there’s nothing I can do. Why bother? I’m just slow and dumb. Don’t be rude! Cuz your attitude could smoothen out refinement Jagged edge catches feelings every time that we ask “why kid?” Just define it. Or rewind it. Take a sec to inspect the line quick. Without edits there’s no credit for Hail Mary Plays to bet with. So WOoo Better make that choice and move on Satisfaction without action is a lasting past abstraction. What? WOoo Finalize that choice and move on And Realize no race was won Beginning with a false start at the run CHORUS: We gets meticulous This is how we living this Everyday building the craft to grow giftedness Meticulous This is how we living this Everyday building the craft Come be our witnesses SADAT X: Ay yo, 16 bars, keep the car running I'm seen in real time If you don't refine your craft You in past tense and it'll all come out in the rinse Why rap if you ain't special Always being a passenger Riding shotgun is regular Me I aspire Plus my footprints can't be followed This rap thing is swallowed and regurgitated And as I previously stated I wouldn't mind being an architect But in a sense, I am You supposed to always spot out a scam You get nothing for nothing, remember that When I was first born that first December My pops told me that I wear many hats and only write things I witness Are you for real, yo Are you getting this? Don't waste my jewels Know this and what they teach you in schools And remember peace is the absence of confusion I'mma leave this in the air CHORUS THE APOLOGETTE: Call it process, gotta make some progress Rhymes like a goddess, but wait I digress Wanna move for success? It’s work I confess Only way to impress? Gotta strive for finesse I be writin' n scratchin' n writin' over them Til the right thoughts n rhymes be flowin’ out my pen Turn em over my tongue then change ‘em up n then Spit them words off the page, drop it like a gem CHASE MARCH: My first attempt at it was the best it'll ever be Never gonna top that so I'll quit right now and move on comfortably Clearly top pedigree don't even try to argue the Finer facts, time to relax, no looking back, see I'm not for falling or failing cause that's ridiculous Except it isn't it's pretty much required Stoking the fire to make it higher fueled by passion and desire Never letting anything slow me down and stay defiant JON CORBIN: Practice makes perfect? (Nah) Practice makes progress I might be from Philly cause I’m trying to trust the process Don’t call me silly ‘cause I keep the rhymes honest Do whatever it takes to get better that’s who Jon is After your work pause for self reflection Better than the last time? That’s more impressive! Being myself! (All the time) No time for poor impressions The tortoise always wins in the end - that’s the best win

about

Hip Hop Headucatorz team with Brand Nubian member and one time teacher Sadat X for a new anthem about trial & error called "Refine Your Craft"

-LYRICS-
WIZEKRAK:
Ill drummer drumming/ Headucatorz coming through and/
If you got dope lyrics you control the movement/
If I see something wack in here I remove it /
I micromanage tracks and it’s more for my amusement/
Rhyme pollutant, stand in the sun, skin translucent/
Edit these rhymes/ perfect flows/ make improvements/
Careful adjustments/ the same thing I teach my students/
My words flow over drum beats like they’re fluids/

MIKEALL:
Practice makes improvement/
Masters remain students/
Map then aim ya movement/
Tap in brain stay rooted/
Graph strengths then play to it/
Hat trick games conclusion/
Match stick flame ebullient/
HeadUcatorz ain’t truant/

TIGZ:
What’s going on?
I hate hearing, sir that I’m already done
And there’s nothing I can do. Why bother? I’m just slow and dumb.
Don’t be rude! Cuz your attitude could smoothen out refinement
Jagged edge catches feelings every time that we ask “why kid?”
Just define it. Or rewind it.
Take a sec to inspect the line quick.
Without edits there’s no credit for Hail Mary Plays to bet with.
So WOoo
better make that choice and move on
Satisfaction without action is a lasting past abstraction.
What? WOoo
Finalize that choice and move on
And Realize no race was won
Beginning with a false start at the run

JON CORBIN
Chorus :
We gets meticulous
This is how we living this
Everyday building the craft to grow giftedness
Meticulous
This is how we living this
Everyday building the craft
Come be our witnesses

SADAT X:
Ay yo, 16 bars, keep the car running
I'm seen in real time
if you don't refine your craft
you in past tense and it'll all come out in the rinse
why rap if you ain't special
always being a passenger
riding shotgun is regular
Me I aspire
plus my footprints can't be followed
this rap thing is swallowed and regurgitated
and as I previously stated
I wouldn't mind being an architect
but in a sense, I am
You supposed to always spot out a scam
You get nothing for nothing, remember that
When I was first born that first December
my pops told me that
I wear many hats and only write things I witness
Are you for real, yo
Are you getting this?
Don't waste my jewels
Know this and what they teach you in schools
and remember peace is the absence of confusion
I'mma leave this in the air

Chorus

THE APOLOGETTE:
Call it process, gotta make some progress
Rhymes like a goddess, but wait I digress!
Wanna move for success? It’s work I confess
Only way to impress? Gotta strive for finess
I be writin n scratchin n writin over them
Til the right thoughts n rhymes be flowin’ out my pen
Turn em over my tongue then change ‘em up n then
Spit them words off the page, drop it like a gem

CHASE MARCH:
My first attempt at it was the best it'll ever be
never gonna top that so I'll quit right now and move on comfortably
clearly top pedigree don't even try to argue the
finer facts, time to relax, no looking back, see
I'm not for falling or failing cause that's ridiculous
except it isn't it's pretty much required
stoking the fire to make it higher fueled by passion and desire
never letting anything slow me down and stay defiant

JON CORBIN:
Practice makes perfect? (Nah) Practice makes progress
I might be from Philly cause I’m trying to trust the process
Don’t call me silly ‘cause I keep the rhymes honest
Do whatever it takes to get better that’s who Jon is
After your work pause for self reflection
Better than the last time? That’s more impressive!
Being myself! (All the time) No time for poor impressions
The tortoise always wins in the end - that’s the best win
