[Verse 1: Turbo]
Lifestyle of the 'never been famous'
Talking on the net to a whole lot of strangers
Trying to network but the work seems aimless
Cause everyone claims that he shall remain nameless (and)
He began to think that's what his fate is
But to be great, he knew he had to study greatness
When he stayed up late, listening to some tapes
His eyes would get brighter than the lights up in Vegas (and)
He had to make his way up out the Matrix
So he decided to stay fly like a spaceship
Just to get rid of all of those haters
He had to undergo an audio facelift (and)
Upgrade the flow he made cold
And freeze them like police men pistols (freeze!)
Triggered by his team and the hip hop scene
He couldn't shoot or erase his dream
With good reason. no
[Hook: Turbo & Thom Yorke]
But he scrambles and he scrambles, the more
(the more you try to erase me, the more that I appear)
And he scrambles, and he scrambles, and he scrambles, and he scrambles, the more
(the more you try the eraser, the more that you appear)
[Verse 2: Turbo]
Lifestyle of the used to be famous
He used to be used to using entertainment
As a means to maintain
But since he hasn't been in demand
He doesn't get paid payments
As much as he used to
No, this wasn't something he was used to
But rather this was something new that he got used to
All he really could say was 'no me gusta'
(come on) no, he don't like it (come on, come on)
And his personality shows that
He's hurt cause he can't sell out a concert
And he couldn't even get on a reality show, so
He started doing sick stuff..
Like over eating just to get on Celebrity Fit Club
Reminiscing on the past, he was trippin
It's sad cause nobody no longer pays him attention. no
[Hook: Turbo & Thom Yorke]
But he scrambles and he scrambles, the more
(the more you try to erase me, the more that I appear)
And he scrambles, and he scrambles, and he scrambles, and he scrambles, the more
(the more you try the eraser, the more that you appear)
[Verse 3: Turbo]
T-D-O-U-B-L-E that's me..
Spell it out like your girl Akee-lah
And ask yourself the question, uh
What do the letters C-R-S mean?
Do they mean to "Continuously Reign Supreme" ?
I don't know
But I know that I "Can't Resist Scrambling"
It's in my blood, cause
In the booth when I'm rockin' this mic
It feels like an antioxidant
Blueberries in the booth
Strawberry tomato blackberry with
Pomegranate juice
Healthy brain wealth brings thoughts of dinero
So I'mma bring Heat like Robert Dinero
So I can be the First Man
Who seems to stream from the seams of the machine of First and
Then I'll create some bars so that they sound 'good'…
& maybe I can Star on a Track
If ever I starred on a track… that is the day I would call up Randall
To tell him I did it
Tell him I made it
Tell him I did the impossible
Cause right now no one believes me..
And I know it won't be easy..
But i've been putting in work since the very first time I heard 'We Want Eazy'
Back in '88
I was sitting in the crib when they played the tape, and
Ever since then i've been friends with the pen
I could write in cursive when I got in 1st grade
In 8th grade, I started rehearsing verses
And my only purpose was to speak my mind
In due time, these deep thoughts will reach the surface
And now I may shine my mind
In time
