Mike G - Asia lyrics

[Verse 1: Mike G] This earth told me to hold my ground My music showed me nobody can match my sound Mos Def said if it's something you can change around Then keep quiet, you got nothing to complain about Now, I told you I would hold you down I told you that we were kings and queens uncrowned Too hard to break down, you were too compound Though at times you feel I wish that they could see me now I won't feel like I made it, until my maids work grave shifts Paint this, honest, with a flow so heinous Dreams will land you further than any promise could take us And everything now is documentation Just wait, you'll see gain when the pace gets made Nothing's rewarded for loitering but patience gets paid They'll tell you that time is money, and that's fact If you're lucky you'll get more minutes but not the same ones back [Bridge: Mike G] (x2) So hold the 99 problems cause I'd rather have none Never know who might come And you'll need new shoes when the blues get sung And some for when you run Cause you should be right behind if not already number 1, uh [Verse 2: Mike G] They're a star, you're a sun, just bigger but by far Without you everyone's world would stay dark There's no need to listen to the others when they talk You're brighter than they are, you're needed when days start You ask how you reach the top when they don't give you a shot But you have no reason to stop to say a failure's what I'm not And people around me, they say that I'm crazy But I do what I gotta do to get to where I wanna be Cause you're just like me, I know you know what you're worth And you can't brag about the things that you don't deserve It's a cold world, you must know the correct way to spell it And people will use things according to how you sell it You're expected to know no one will warn you If you're not willing to do something, no one should do it for you Pay attention closely, it's not difficult to see I'm way ahead of everything, leave everything up to me
