[RAP] You dream it and you live it
I mean it, and when I've speaking what I've written
It's to put you into an obedient submission
And I quit if I can't make you immediately listen
Let's face it, we're all fiends, we're addicted
I say I hate it, but I need it I admit it
[I] smoke it [I] take it [I] eat it [I] sniff it
I'll tear you apart if you ain't spittin meaningful lyrics
I care for this rap, call it a hobby, a habit
Call it your life; but there's a difference between talking and babbling
And I apologize, but I was raised on Shady so
I can't help but hate half of what's playing on the radio
I may appreciate what you're saying but hate the flow
You need to tune in Lecrae or Beau and take some notes
You heard real talent it would take your breath away and
If you faced it you'd be so embarra**ed you would fake your d**h today
My tracks may NOT be number one in construction
But matching this pa**ion may give your lungs a concussion
Its fact that rap is becoming redundant
I'm taking half of rappers and punching them in the stomach
This is the way I've been, this is the way I am
And I refuse to change for bad or ever fabricate to fans
From this day on, things won't be the same
I aim to please, and I'm pleased to aim
Shots fired [check] they fired back [check]
You said you want to battle, if you want it come and get it
On fire [check] fire right [back]
You said you rap so whatchugondoboutit?
Take a belt to your rap career until pain is felt
I don't sympathize for a synthesizer so [BRACE YOURSELF]
And if your faith is real, take a breath and pray for help
You're about to enter the seventh circle at the gates of hell
And a lake of fire, understand I came this far
[RAP] – You break my heart; I came here to raise the bar
I listen – I'm afraid I can barely sustain a yawn
I'ma take that last leg you're standing on and break it off
You can take that as I'm making a promise The weight from the game I'ma take it upon me
Pen to this page ain't afraid to be honest I say what I say and I'll say it regardless
Ring on my finger I'm making a bargain then Circle my heart you can make it the target
Wesley the surgeon and warren the sergeant and Take it to heart and then bang it the hardest
Let nothing go unfinished, love so much no one can stomach it
Don't let a second of a beat go by that doesn't get punishment
Apparently rap has gotten embarra**ing
And needs a match and kerosene for necessary therapy
Put your favorite album on and go turn off the lights
Or close your eyes, I can only hope to bring your heart to life
Beg for mercy, Paper trail, the LP and The Show
No matter what it is they're guaranteed to help me let it go
This is the way I've been, this is the way I am
And I refuse to change for bad or ever fabricate to fans
From this day on, things won't be the same
I aim to please, and I'm pleased to aim
Shots fired [check] they fired back [check]
You said you want to battle, if you want it come and get it
On fire [check] fire right [back]
You said you rap so whatchugondoboutit?
You hesitate to gasp – this rap will waste you
So fast at your face it will decapitate you
I can't wait – I don't have the patience
I'll rap till I'm outlasting lacerations
Forget the toll that the asthma's taking
I laugh in the face of exasperation
Refuse to entertain in vain and not be heard
Don't know whether to catch a thief or to k** a mockingbird
So put me into the hurt locker and lock me in
Every song's a bomb that I'm dropping onto the audience
If you're a rapper and you Babel
I'm strapping you into the jacket and taking a saw to your Adam's apple
Half of what you rap is a bold-faced lie
I advise a shot of arsenic and old lace – twice
Now I'm going to pretend as though you're still alive
Every time you live for you, you die a little inside
Rap is obviously at a steady decline
And a rapper ain't worth your time if you ain't pressing rewind
Don't lie to me; you're not the best rapper alive
I use your CD to put me asleep while I drive
This is the way I've been, this is the way I am
And I refuse to change for bad or ever fabricate to fans
From this day on, things won't be the same
I aim to please, and I'm pleased to aim
Shots fired [check] they fired back [check]
You said you want to battle, if you want it come and get it
On fire [check] fire right [back]
You said you rap so whatchugondoboutit?
