作曲 : Confidence
Another one for you and yours
Yo, yo
Yo, it's a new day upon us, time to hit the corners
Invest life in these mics so the gains are enormous
I'mma rock stages, get the praises and applauses
But I don't want fame, just the papers and label offers
Me and Confidence fighting these major labels off us
Cause we took hip hop from the grave and raised it out its coffins
These are five mic bars I display in my performance
Given to you by the Brooklyn-slash-Philly native bosses
MC's stay cautious cause they know I pose a threat
I've been chosen and elected to show 'em how to flow correct
And that was made clear soon as my pen and notebook met
I'm living with no regrets, this is the path I chose
And I'mma walk it while I shake hands with fans and foes
I got what this industry lacks, well crafted flows
Which'll be the cause of me having high demand for shows
As well as plenty record spins while my capital grows
What I'm spitting is reminiscent of classic poems
From memory lane passages with nostalgic souls
You ain't gotta look further, these notepads I own
Are the place where rap's best era has found its home
Ayo, it's brand new, now let it knock through your towns
From city to borough and all stomping grounds
It's the brand new, fresh and constantly improving
Sound we bring it back just to get your blocks moving
This is how we play to the old from the new
It's been a long time, maybe too long
It's only right that I was born to use my tools
Brand new, brand new, brand new
Yo, ayo, mic, papers and pens be the tools of the trade
For me to build a foundation where good music is made
The streets gave me approval to start this musical crusade
Now MC's are preparing and packing tools cause they afraid
Of being victims of bars that'll leave 'em wounded and slayed
My whole mission is giving people what they usually crave
Which is nothing but the realness that ain't usually played
I'm confusing your airwaves, making
Your ears slaves with this rare airplay
Putting rappers in a fierce rage cause their careers change
As soon as they hear the words I engineer on the page
Hands raised when you pump this on your blocks and your sidewalks
I mastered this rhyme art, now it's time to climb charts
Maybe bag a few dimes who look good in designer cloths
And graduate from the hoodrats that rock knockoffs
For shorties too hype to being signed in The Source
I'd rather be that guy who get your CD signed by in stores
Doing worldwide tours, reciting the type of bars
That frighten mic chords that keep flexing, igniting bombs
And it's on
Ayo, it's brand new, now let it knock through your towns
From city to borough and all stomping grounds
It's the brand new, fresh and constantly improving
Sound we bring it back just to get your blocks moving
This is how we play to the old from the new
It's been a long time, maybe too long
It's only right that I was born to use my tools
Brand new, brand new, brand new
Yo, now who can do it better? I vow to keep it true and clever
Never been the type to rhyme just for pursuing cheddar
But if I get it maybe I splurge and be a prudent spender
In the meantime I'm paying dues, making moves, etcetera
Spitting pounds of substance for stations in every area
Making the weight of my record rotation much heavier
The mic clutching predator, holding the pen much deadlier
Than any pistol with the potential to pump lead in ya
Turn rappers into discouraged competitors
Cause what I write separates the real MC's from the replicas
The void in rap is what my pen and pad replenishes
I'm fighting with this industry, bringing it to a precipice
Of all out chaos, labor for the music, waiting to see the payoff
Writing religiously but never took the seventh day off
About to snatch the place that you rap cats ate off
And make the game change course and go back to the essence
While artists look for day jobs, I'm praised as a legend
Solidifying my spot, exchanging bars with the veterans
Now name another poet that I can't do this better than
Ayo, it's brand new, now let it knock through your towns
From city to borough and all stomping grounds
It's the brand new, fresh and constantly improving
Sound we bring it back just to get your blocks moving
This is how we play to the old from the new
It's been a long time, maybe too long
It's only right that I was born to use my tools
Brand new, brand new, brand new
