Here we are, my friend Once again I'm inclined to rhyme one time So won't you lend me your ear? Cuz it's clear That this here has no pain If this song was the blues you'd be sheddin a tear Like a baby Maybe Is shoulda held back Some of you look shocked I guess you couldn't tell that I was here to drop knowledge College is irrelevant My next move To prove I'm smooth but still intelligent Expressing Lessons with sheer precision First hear me out then make a decision On whether Everlast knows what time it is Does this song belong in the rhyming biz? Yes, I think so, cuz I'm a pioneer Blazing the trail across a new frontier I'm growing lengths of growing stregth as I get older Cuz I'm a syndicate soldier All affections left behind There's two more gears to grind Before I'm through I'm sure that you will find A new respect for the rhymes I inject Through your eardrum Don't play dumb Just let me get to the point of my address Unless you feel you can't go This song is on the tables to make you dance, so Get up, and if you don't, leave the premises I'm Rula-Ku so you can call me a genesis Born to perform and please a large crowd Of people at night and to my right is El-o The scale is brother Known for being treacherous A s**er made a move and that's the reason Fletcher was forced to put his head out He got too close to me
Two by my side And that's that's how it's supposed to be These are my brothers And they've been around me Since back in the days when the Syndicate found me They are the people deserving of credit List my name, gained fame, and made sure I wouldn't let it Go to my head Instead I keep my feet down Unlike s**er's from the past I beat down The fatal mistake was to break on my confidence Overall, their fall was due to overconfidence As we go, the ego's All start acting up With statements Of greatness, the rhymes aren't backing up Talking louder as they get bolder But there's no defense Against a syndicate soldier As we reach the final stage Something got engaged In a conflict That's sick with violent rage I gained fame From my name, Everlast How long can this hype about a devil last? A star was formed, but everyone took it serious Now it's seems, I'm seen as delirious That's okay, I'll stay under rated And good things will come to all who have waited For the brother of a lighter skin to begin Droppin' knowledge with weight Cuz you rate paper thins Science is one thing, knowledge is another What do I mean when I say that I'm a brother? Being a brother is a state of mind For all those who chose to remain unblind Growing wisdom as I get older That's right I'm white and I'm a syndicate soldier
