A-Roy - Give It Back lyrics

(Verse 1) Inside my bedroom, waking up from the same dream Hoping this'll be the day I see the real thing I yawn and stretch, reach for my cell phone Thank God that I'm blessed with health and home But yo I'm kinda vexed, because I feel alone So I turn my playlist on and bump my favorite songs Can't listen to the radio, it's garbage No one seems to feel the hip-hop that goes the hardest Thinking of a master plan to get my sh** out While I got my grub on, but didn't pig out Crease my jeans, brush my teeth, get up and get out Hit the ground running, never willing to sit out If I ruled the world and everything in it I'd put my iPod on blast so the whole world could sing with it No fairy tales, for this young black male, but oh well I still got a few stories to share, yea (Chorus)(x2) They took rap, but I came to give it right back (2x)[but we came to give it right back] So nod ya head to this funky fresh dope track We giving you the sh** that's never ever sounding wack Giving you the best, so gon' give it right back (Verse 2) Long days and longer nights as the saga of life continues So many hustles on my plate, and more still on the menu But yo I gotta get it, long as I keep on livin' I plan to maximize my time before my time is ending I coulda' had a 9-5, a wife and some children Back in '05, this was the life that I envisioned But then I caught a whiff of something different I had some gifts locked up in my spirit, with a whole lot of interest… To follow, the other point of the fork in the road Wanna share with the world all that pours out my soul A rich and famous lifestyle has never been the goal But I'm tryna' have thangs like Mike and Pimp in ‘94 Writin' raps off the top of my dome As I stroll from cla**, cross the street to the other side of the road Living life like it's golden, I'm holding The future in the palm of my hand – I'm mic-controlling (Chorus) (Verse 3) The last verse is dedicated to the ladies Who love hard, but still manage to drive they man crazy I got a plan baby, no need to worry I don't pursue this rap music as an avenue for flirting Don't wanna hit the road just so I can do you dirty In the grand scheme, I really hope to make it work But you gotta trust I'm giving you the best of me Even when the distance keeps you longing for the rest of me We've invested too much simply to let it flop And I've invested too much up in this hip-hop I know you've “shed so many tears” – 2pac And I be feeling “things done changed” – Big Pop But this ain't the east/west beef from the 90s You from the east I'm from the west but we united One couple under the Lord, over the haters f** that doubtin' sh** girl, this world can't fade us (Chorus)
