Lyrics
Yeah people the illEagle did it again!
I put the pen to a paper now we making it blend.
What we creating is separating the men from the boys
who playin' with toys and afraid of the deep end.
I leap in, toss caution to the wind.
Often causin' a splash, either sink or swim.
Then creep in to the dreams of those who sleepin'.
Shake them up to wake them up. You gotta peep him!
Never overseasoned. Just overseas in
some distant land. They coming to greet him
and givin' him "the royal treatment" just from what he speakin'.
Not even preachin' but still he reachin'
out for the stars. Comin' down with a cloud.
After my set I'll prolly be around in the crowd.
Interacting with people is where I gotta be
cuz if they show me love I give it back properly
Yea I'm coming to a city near you.
So bring a friend. Better yet, bring two.
Hopefully y'all can all swing through.
Just make some noise
when I say "I can't hear you!"
Cuz I'm coming to a city near you.
So bring a friend. Better yet, bring two.
Hopefully y'all can all swing through.
Just make some noise
when I say "I can't hear you!"
International if I ain't embraced in the states.
I couldn't hate but neither could I wait.
I knew my audience was "somewhere out there."
That's Fievel-type survival with savoir-faire.
I say a little prayer cuz its needed.
Even when I lose I refuse to be defeated.
Keep improvin' and keep it movin'. Beat it!
Can't stop, won't stop 'til the job's completed.
I go where I'm needed. Do whatever I can
whether its lending a hand or taking a stand.
A one man wolf-pack "making the band."
Cali Quake tastemaker forsaking the bland.
Against the grain. I am what I am dude
I'm knowin' what I can't, I'll show 'em what I CAN do.
Heavyset yet ready. Yep, he already ran through
another stage. Next page, brand new.
Yea I'm coming to a city near you.
So bring a friend. Better yet, bring two.
Hopefully y'all can all swing through.
Just make some noise
when I say "I can't hear you!"
Cuz I'm coming to a city near you.
So bring a friend. Better yet, bring two.
Hopefully y'all can all swing through.
Just make some noise
when I say "I can't hear you!"
Come spit with me cuz come can't stand to sit with me.
Transport or passport. Who wanna trip with me?
I'm rippin' the beat, kickin' the snare,
jackin' its hat, tramplin' the sample & then crack it with a bat.
Red dots on the spots I've been like paint splattered on a map.
When you havin' me back?
Just tell me the when, the where, the how...
The present's a gift, the time is now...
That's by design. I'm at my prime.
But then again, you'll find I only get better with time.
Raisin' the bar and stayin' above the line.
Its the only thing I'm really good at. I love to rhyme.
Keep on writing songs 'til my voice is gone.
Then I'll make more beats so my sound lives on.
All my REAL heads know where to go --the front row.
Wanna know why? Then come to my next show.
Yea I'm coming to a city near you.
So bring a friend. Better yet, bring two.
Hopefully y'all can all swing through.
Just make some noise
when I say "I can't hear you!"
Cuz I'm coming to a city near you.
So bring a friend. Better yet, bring two.
Hopefully y'all can all swing through.
Just make some noise
when I say "I can't hear you!"
