And I promise if you take me home, |
|
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone |
|
Said come on baby, throw me a bone, |
|
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone |
|
And I promise if you take me home, |
|
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone |
|
Said come on baby, throw me a bone, |
|
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone |
|
I'ma tell you something... about me, heheh |
|
That's my favorite subject, I don't know if you picked up on that yet or not |
|
I never said I had a business mind |
|
I just don't believe that quitting time exists, ain't no finish line to this |
|
You got to give me mine, I really shine, my given time is this |
|
Live and die with the grind, driven by the fist |
|
Where you do place my name if I never played your game? |
|
We don't race the same, I don't run inside no painted lane |
|
Plus y'all pace is strange, y'all either stop or you sprint |
|
Run when it's sunny and hide if it change to rain |
|
I wouldn't be half the Ali that I am |
|
if I slowed myself up and tried competing with these people, fam |
|
I'm every bit as unconcerned as they are unprepared |
|
Market flooded, needless to say I wasn't scared |
|
Let's all drop the same day, I don't ****ing care |
|
Put listening stations in the store and let the public hear |
|
Better yet, let's have an in-store performance |
|
Make it oranges to oranges, me dwarfin' your endurance |
|
After that we'll shoot the shit with our supporters |
|
and see how many more discs of yours the indie stores order |
|
See you already know I out-rap 'em |
|
On the low, we out-work, out-think, and out-class them |
|
And I promise if you take me home, |
|
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone |
|
Said come on baby, throw me a bone, |
|
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone |
|
And I promise if you take me home, |
|
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone |
|
Said come on baby, throw me a bone, |
|
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone |
|
Nobody's doing this thing exactly like we do. |
|
I mean they do it, they just ain't doing it exactly like us, you know what I'm saying? |
|
Sucker-ass mother****er |
|
My personal pedigree's so bona fide, |
|
'Cause a man of my stature ain't grown overnight |
|
The undisputed king of where poor folks reside |
|
Because every time I speak there'll be hope vocalized in you |
|
Sit and bitch with them chickens about "it isn't fair" |
|
The sound system ain't shit, but I was crystal clear |
|
We first-name basis with soundmen, we bring 'em beer |
|
Plus I tipped 'em fifty last semester when the clique was here |
|
Listen here, I ain't going give you all the secrets |
|
Just these few examples help me illustrate my pretense |
|
Our strength is unrelated to your weakness |
|
'Cause you'll never be a worthy pool of peers to be competed with |
|
I sing my shit with Son House and Syl Johnson |
|
and always lose, I done lost face too |
|
but I'm sporting they shoes, so let me remind you |
|
them little kicks you're trying to fit, |
|
we outgrew them shits in high school |
|
And I promise if you take me home, |
|
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone |
|
Said come on baby, throw me a bone, |
|
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone |
|
And I promise if you take me home, |
|
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone |
|
Said come on baby, throw me a bone, |
|
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone |
|
I don't think I'm arrogant, man, I think just I'm, you know |
|
I dos what the **** I does, man, and it's just.. |
|
you can kiss my ass, all I care |
|
It's of foremost importance, |
|
There is none like unto the Brother Al |
|
This mother****er regardless, and stop all the nonsense |
|
You see me lounging, call Rhymesayer's office, I've officially lost it |
|
They say my reputation precedes me |
|
I don't know the meaning of off-season, I ain't taking it easy |
|
Ain't taking a day off, never had a off night |
|
Never been laid off, I live on the job site |
|
It all pays off, though, when I squint through the spotlight |
|
and see your lips are moving to the true shit that I write |
|
and we going be all right, every night of my life is my night |
|
'Cause I view the future like it's hindsight |
|
I ain't waiting on patiently persevering |
|
I see greatness in the person in the mirror very clearly |
|
and that's why I take this seriously |
|
Baby, come near to me and truly, truly hear me |
|
And I promise if you take me home, |
|
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone |
|
Said come on baby, throw me a bone, |
|
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone |
|
And I promise if you take me home, |
|
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone |
|
Said come on baby, throw me a bone, |
|
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone |
