[Verse 1: White Noise]
I won't step down, I won't step back. Keep stepping up on this step ladder
I've felt down, been beaten battered. But none of that sh** ever mattered
Whatever factors, try to influence me, have to tempt me
Ever faster, ever since, I've been flowing, affluently
I'm Patrick Dempsey, with my dramatic anatomy
The way my limbs are flailing around, as I've been rapping spasmatically
It's either or a habit, or I'm an addict, but actually
I'd rather be rapping like that, than be an inactive pa**ive sheep
But pa**ively, I pa** the mic to you so i can share
This vibe and, no rivals can be found tonight in here
Put your hands in air, in a God damned diamond
Word to HOV, I rock a fella with the rhyming
Accapella timing. Shining. Vibrant
My rhymes are a sign of the times and I'm climbing
My mind stays solid, 'cus my mind state's solid
I refine great projects 'til they're flawless. Honest
[Hook: White Noise]
All I wanted was to be a man my momma loves
Maybe start a non-profit up. I don't think that that's preposterous
All I ever wanted was to not be stuck is offices
All I ever wanted was a couple of accomplishments
All I wanted was to be a man my momma loves
Maybe start a non-profit up. I don't think that that's preposterous
All I ever wanted was to not be stuck is offices
All I ever wanted was a couple of accomplishments
[Verse 2: White Noise]
To be honest, they might wanna be on us
You can drop a beat on us, cus nothing is beyond us
Keep it complete, we won't compete with those prima donas
Screaming, fiending, sleeping, and scheming products
That's just not us. Keep it too upfront
You feel touched cus we're always down. Hut-hut one
What what? Run. Scatter. We'll disa**emble your matter
Matter of fact, we dish it out and you clean the platter
From Rideau to TO we repo your ego
Teach you that just because you speak, doesn't mean you're key note
But the 96/97 Collective drops hella records
Dropping gold bars, these fellas are elemental
Others have hella dental, flossing and biting raps
The appeal of what's real is what's causing our tightest tracks
To be respected. Perceive the method
Receive the lesson, jeez we weave the best sh**

When I hit the FLOW up, the paper's getting tore up
If you're rapping bout the hoes and the dough, homie grow up
See when I get into this mind state, of making the grind date
Everything that I write, is written out as my fate
To be the greatest MC: CM
Even when i'm alone in my room, it feels like a coliseum
Packed full of spectators, here to see the spectacle
Of when I'm in my FLOW zone, I'm aiming through a reticle
I said the FLOW zone yea, puncturing the ozone layer
Cus I spit ether, out the speakers, of the people. Am I clear?
My head phones are like heaven's doors
Entrance to the flow, you go to every store
Tryna cop a copy of this copper that copulates
Conducting electricity at an unstoppable rate
And I love it ya. And I love it ya
All you- all you- all you bump this through your trunk oh yea
