I'm a connoisseur of fine rhymes
Patient when it's fermenting, I know it takes time
To make a product that'll really age well
Constantly rotating like a dog that chased his own tail
I've seen 'em fail tryna rush the process
Fruits of our labor come from the fruits we harvest
We peel the skin off, and use the juice
To produce the freshest brew that you ever put your lips too - what?
They say it ain't authentic with machines?
I simply say you don't know what authentic means
You've been blinded by what you've seen
You neglect the new harvest and the styles that are gleaned
And don't realize that the liquid you drinkin' has been distilled
This is real stuff - not the bootleg from the sill
I guess they thinkin' this is run of the mill
No matter how hard we work in the field, they always will
They crush the grapes to make wine, we stretch our mind to craft rhymes
The harvest of the vineyard shall be made known in due time
Waiting for years before we take the first sip of the drink
The result of continually putting down words in ink
They crush the grapes to make wine, we stretch our mind to craft rhymes
The harvest of the vineyard shall be made known in due time
Waiting for years before we take the first sip of the drink
The result of continually putting down words in ink

This is just a great record all around. Playdough & Sean Patrick did their thing with the live instrumentation, and the lyrics are brilliant as well. Precursor Mentality
Tunnel Rats are a group of emcees from the West Coast, and one of the first groups I discovered when I was getting into rap. The Battery's release gives you a glimpse of just how fresh that crew is. Precursor Mentality
