cause, i'm-a do it right this time |
|
right this time, write this line, write it down, down deep into your mind |
|
i make a difference, i make thoughts happen |
|
i make worlds collide, and i make just enough to survive |
|
all jokes aside. i may of lost a few battles |
|
but this is still war. i used to hand out my tapes |
|
but then i got hungry. the landlord needed money |
|
and i didn't have his funding. so that day i started running |
|
and relied on just my cunning. man, it really wasn't funny |
|
so i moved out to the sunny, california |
|
shores were the stars are born |
|
tried to leave it all behind, but one early morning |
|
i went soaring all the way across these states |
|
i hit the road and did some shows right back to la |
|
now every night i stand and plea for all of you to buy these lines |
|
i've been waiting for this moment all my very short whole life... hold on |
|
i used to hand out my tapes, but then i got hungry |
|
i used to give out my words, but then i needed money |
|
i'll bite the head off a sentence and spit it in the crowd |
|
and if it makes you like me more i'll do it really loud |
|
hey hey, i say the words, that's what i do, it's all i know |
|
i use them on the road, at my shows, in studios |
|
and i'm leaving in my car, girl |
|
don't know when i'll be back again |
|
so kiss me twice, and let me go |
|
it's time for me to do some shows |
|
and i'll say these words over eqs beats |
|
while yall listen to me, this stuff aint for free |
|
there's writing on the walls and all you have to do is listen |
|
with your eyes and you'll finally see what's missing |
|
see hip hop, it made me say it wrong |
|
made me spell it wrong |
|
made me put it in a song |
|
and now everyone thinks that it's really really funny |
|
hair bands turned into grunge bands |
|
turned into boy bands, turned into rap toy shams |
|
well don't worry it will find its way without me |
|
but i want for everyone to understand why i'm doubting |
|
i know that there's better things to be sold on |
|
but i've been waiting for this moment for all my life... hold on |
|
and i'm leaving in my car, girl |
|
don't know when i'll be back again |
|
oh baby, i hate to go |
|
so kiss me and smile for me |
|
tell me that you'll wait for me |
|
oh baby, i gotta go |
