[Intro]
So what's Ethan gonna talk about on this song, I mean
He usually just talks about sh** like:
Like getting famous and making A-list, and forgetting haters, and stacking papers til y'all know what his name is, but
I wonder what he'll do on this…
Probably the same thing
[Verse 1]
Like getting famous and making A-list
And forgetting haters and stacking papers
Til you know what my name is, I don't see no complainers
It's as plain as day to see your accusation's heinous
Stainless steel couldn't shine as bright as me
I'm green, you couldn't find a bigger lime in the light as me
You couldn't find someone that rhymes as tight as me
And if we talking flow, my waves are mighty frightening
Don't surf
You talking on the wrong turf, so if you trying to k** me, it won't work
You throwing dirt, but it's landing on your own shirt
If you think the world is yours, you're living on the wrong Earth
You see me working, y'all just circle-jerkin
Open curtains, see you lurking, hurt and confused
Social services, these rappers get abused
Avoid the rules, step up you stepping stools
[Chorus]
Boston Ma**achusetts that's the city that I'm rootin'
Melrose Ma**achusetts that's the city that I grew in
Born in Lowell, taking summer day-trips to Revere
Have no fear, savior of our cities:
Ethan Harrington is here
[Verse 2]
I'm bread you been dough
You say she bend o-ver, but when though
I'm presidential, your flows are rental
My reign torrential, “You rich?” Aha no
But girl like what, so? I got the best flow
And I'll get a Range Ro-ver in the end ho
So you better jump on, the bandwagon soon bro
'Cause I'm heating up quick, no longer a cool coal
But who told you that you could best me?
You couldn't do this boy, so don't test me
You wrestling, I'm Jet Li, don't tempt me
I'll change your strut to limping and make your bars sound empty
See this be, the illest of them all
Man I spit like October, watch these rappers fall
Come back like I told you soon as they call
Me E instead of Ethan, watch them so appalled
While I uphold:
[Chorus 2]
Boston Ma**achusetts that's the city that I'm rootin'
Melrose Ma**achusetts that's the city that I grew in
Born in Lowell, taking summer day-trips to Revere
It appeared, you didn't know my name
Now I've made it clear, I'm here
[Verse 3]
I won the talent show, now they know
That my rapping ain't no joke
I mean I got the flows that move the globe
And make the cold turn into snow
The answer's no if you want help
I mean I did this by myself
For recognition, not the wealth
I dealt with sh** since day one
So I made it secret
Now those same people, sent my lyrics, read it, weep it
Got a closet, that I'm sweepin'
Do my spring cleaning every weekend, y'all competing
I am leaving, y'all are heathens
I am heating up, yup
I am eatin', havoc wreakin'
For those of you trying to reach the heights I am seeing
Don't ever try and give up 'cause there isn't any reason
But if you wanna make it up here don't start copying him
'Cause I'll f**ing destroy you any evening
I am Ethan, yup
Getting famous and making A-list
Forgetting haters and stacking papers
Til y'all know what my name is
It's insane if I didn't say it yet, my name is Ethan, make the bet
Put your eggs in my basket, cash the checks
Don't go asking if it's worth it, the answer's yes
Man I got a heavy load on my back and chest
Now I'm carrying my city because I've claimed the best
Because I framed the rest as fakes, they've made a mess
And I won't make amends until my pain's at rest
But I don't know if I'll ever escape the stress
'Cause I fought my way in this game and then I made a nest
Yeah I can say you're less in realness as I
Real recognize real and unreal ones die
So just comply
Or load up and ride, 'cause I
Wanna see if you really feel the way you say you do inside!
Oh my
