[Intro] Headphones even Gotta be Gotta be Reality baby [Verse 1: Asheru] My rhymes they run the gamut in a vast array Competition is none, son - they all pa**ed away When the day is done, you know I be the last to stay Cause I'm one of the best that hip-hop has today [Verse 2: Blue Black] This little [bit of?] head nod in me You just a god in me, moving my body - not a commodity I'm an*logous, logically and phonically phonetically Sonically kinetic like comedic cosmology [Verse 3: Asheru] I just love trees, like Arbor day Make pennies, like harder ways So, God, I pray to know what contemplate in this daily Quest for equality, peace, and happiness ['void?] the stress with the plethora of what [job bless?] [Verse 4: Blue Black] I'm grown to the boom bap, the trap drum, in flat sums See, my sword is a pen, and I'm a swordsman. *chi-ching* Cuttin' a** like my name is D'Artagnan My manner is grand, but check out my companion He's just... [Hook] A n***a like me (repeated) [Verse 5: Asheru] The kind of n***a that I am, I don't conjugate, I just be and conversate freely with these Ebonics Fill up your whole room, with my ill sonic boom transmittal; It'll be one of them things where you caught in the middle With your broke second fiddle - call me the "Stradivarius" And bring your a** inside this new age of Aquarius It's so hilarious how when I rip into my verse All these hard overconfident n***as be like [dirt?]* They can't believe it, but you should seek it to know: Without a shadow of a doubt, in battle, I go all-out And be the last man standing at the top of the hill Holding my dill, speaking words that you can hear [partial?] now that's for real [Verse 6: Blue Black] This here is a sure thing - a pure thing; Reticent and demure with some things But when it comes to this rap and drug thing: "I run things, cause I done some things you never do." ...and that ain't true Life is big; its bigger than you And you bitter so I better be better than you "Get ahead of you. Me instead of you" Is the mentality I steadily run into Like I gotta "dead" you to do what I gotta do, man I think somebody's in your head and just f**ing with you But if you're better than me, then go ahead B I'ma be right here steady Not "steady be," but "steadily" moving my head to the melody [Hook] A n***a like me (repeated) [Verse 7: Asheru] Jump-jump, jump in your blind spot Kick you in your high parts, boy Mine gots to be had - just be glad I didn't take yours.. The way your rhyme style bores we flip fours with lines that endure [Verse 8: Blue Black] I hit yours prior to your desire to be I'm apriori: a prior eye to history I got the foresight to see like John Forsythe in Dynasty ...but he ain't a n***a like me [Verse 9: Asheru] A n***a like me can wreak havoc on the mic' nightly Thoughts way too heavy to take this sh** lightly I brightly glow and rightly so My man up next, he might be a n***a just like me [Verse 10: Blue Black] I think its clear that I could make about 20 G's a year Selling fear or telling you that I'm superior to you But I'd rather paint the media sepia and blue And tell you what a n***a like me is going through Because... [Hook] A n***a like me (repeated) [Outro] Gotta be Gotta be Gotta be reality Bay beh, bay-bay beh Bay beh, bay-bay beh Bay beh, bay-bay beh
