Lyrics
The time had come to make my run.
I push the buttons. I'll pull the plug.
I paid my dues and I make my moves.
Became the change, rearranged my views.
Now clarity is mine, prosperity in time.
Building from a dime, I'm relying on the divine.
Brand new perspective on the collective.
Analyze in between the lines and correct it!
Rejected, but have never learned to accept it.
Full-time believer, part-time skeptic.
Out with the old and in with the new. But check it,
My crew's deep. Since 92 we wrecked it.
If we took a title, we kept it. Know this.
A handful of fans worldwide took notice.
Played but I never got paid. That wasn't the focus.
I was too busy just trying to be the dopest.
But you can never be, only ended up the brokest. Bogus!
No magic "hocus-pocus."
Tragic & hopeless? Never that!
Tell yourself "It's the promotors. Man I barely saw posters!"
Look all I know is, give ME the mic and I'm gon' do my part
cuz I can get the party crackin' AND I spit from the heart.
Getting lit in the dark. No ends? I don't start.
Unleashed, I don't bite and I don't have to bark.
Still I roll with a wolf gang like Mozart.
Throwin' dubs like Noah's Arc.
Straight whaling on 'em. Hard to swallow like Jonah's part.
In the belly of beast, yea you know its hard. Hickup, spit-out.
"Git Up Get Out..." I Cee-lo Green in my bank account.
What's THAT about? Just one of them things I can't figure out.
When things get Thicke, "Gotta Fight the Shadow of Doubt"
and any innaccruate data coming outta my mouth.
After all, I only wish to speak the truth.
I'm in the house! I hear the crowd singin' out,
"Bring him out and make it loud!" So I gotta oblige.
I gotta stay alive. I've got a diehard will to survive.
I aint gon' lie. This aint Shangri-La, more like the slang I fire.
Fully automatic. Causing panic.
March in madness.
So who want static dag-nabit? I got "Flowers in the Attic."
Rhyming for hours, I've got a bad habit.
Yep, I hear a track, spit a rap and I'm back at it.
1 slice at life, gotta take a stab it.
Like a cereal (beat) killer. I'm iller than them all.
But I'm gon' keep it simple. This just the intro y'all.
