|
Yo, this shit keeps weighin me down, beatin me up |
|
Like every day's governed by Murphy's Law |
|
It never drops, but inside I'm, tied up |
|
In stress knots and chains and bills that ain't paid |
|
I damn near work for Dun & Bradstreet |
|
Keep a bank card and a wallet for show, I hate empty spaces |
|
Fill 'em with MetroCards that's been already took me places |
|
Fun Passes, loose changes, gum wrappers, maybe numbers |
|
Battery covers to CD players, and that's it |
|
I got some plastic |
|
But can't even use it, the bad credit's so drastic |
|
Ask me bastard if I'm signed, I rhyme sick |
|
But niggas is quick to turn they back on spitters with clits |
|
Hit em with this, and ridiculous phrase flow that exit my lips |
|
Hey yo, I mean my face, though |
|
They still want chicks with tits and ass out |
|
My respect is worth more than your advance cash-out |
|
I'm fuckin you right in the ear |
|
If these chicks did it you'd be catchin gonorrhea |
|
The only thing I spread is tinnitus |
|
Just tryin to keep this shit right |
|
And for all of y'all askin when my joint droppin |
|
Watch me this year |
|
It's like. |
|
[CHORUS] |
|
Hustles don't get knocked, except the ones that |
|
Fuck with my business and dough, you can forget that |
|
I told you once it's not gangsta, it's just right |
|
Don't get it fucked, I don't like to spit my shit twice |
|
Keep your fake thuggin, afraid to get in fist fights |
|
Glittery knuckles never made me shiver, buckle never |
|
Knocka, this how I get down |
|
I'ma have to do that again, so y'all can hear it |
|
[CHORUS] |
|
That's what I said, yeah yeah |
|
Yeah |
|
Yeah |
|
[VERSE 2] |
|
It's crazy how I'm still catchin with no major distribution |
|
Slice through like guillotines, I'm precise with a execution |
|
The definition of artist, past the hype and the business |
|
So I paint the track like a canvas in post-impressionist style |
|
Time keeps gettin postponed like Emmy Awards |
|
My moms cataloguin my shit like she's Afeni Shakur |
|
Many of y'all ain't even worth a penny for thoughts |
|
So I ignore the rumors and the biters |
|
More than y'all ignore the Unsigned Hype in The Source |
|
Peace to Steady Rock and Tyson [Name] |
|
And a big fuck you to bitch Chris Lombardi at Matador |
|
And every A&R that turned me down |
|
Props to kids who stayed loyal since "Baseball" dropped |
|
And copped the underground, see, the barrel was facin me |
|
Now I turn the gun around and it's got unlimited ammunition |
|
I dare you to question, now they'll know I'm dressin |
|
So don't skip through the record |
|
But if you're lookin for some shit to bump in the ride, you should check it |
|
[CHORUS] |
|
Alright, alright |
|
One more time |
|
One more time |
|
[CHORUS] |
|
What |
|
What |
|
What |
|
What |
|
What |
|
Get it? |
|
Got it? |
|
Good |
|
Let's get on with it then |
