I'm just sitting back waiting while ya'll back and forth pacing
Not implying that I'm lazy, I'm just saying that I'm crazy
For second place, one hit wonders to try and phase me Nisho – Blunt Honesty

Nisho is saying how he is being patient for his time to come to be seen while others are thinking of getting rich quick schemes. (He is not being lazy, rather he’s seen as crazy for letting people who are only around for one song to be a threat)

I spit sporadic, I'm causing havoc, I start attacking
I started blacking with all this magic I'm breaking back in
Spit ridiculous images, getting into it
Filling my lines intricate, blind to my sentences
Sign to my syllabus, I will find vividness Nisho – Devastation (Do It Again)

Nisho’s traditional way of “going in” on a song, with back to back schemes.
