Mitch The Pariah - Assuage lyrics

[Verse] The problem these days/ The phrase real is overplayed/ And now it's a cliché/ Good people pay/ Never gettin'/ The recognition and praise/ They've worked their a** off for/ Or lost everything to try and attain/ Cause word came through the grapevine/ Stirred an absurd rumor/ Turned stigma/ Now it's a dogma/ Without a lick of proof/ All against/ Someone they never knew/ Here's the truth/ Sayin you're real these days/ Is sayin'/ You're a fake/ Snake/ Copycat/ And Rat/ Without speaking/ The realest gives everything they have/ Even after bein' stabbed in the back/ So many times/ How many?/ They've lost track/ Damn/ They don't wait for someone to ask/ They just act/ It's who they are/ You'd understand if you knew their past/ People didn't have a clue I was a brainiac/ Whose words can strike ya/ Like a/ Diamondback/ Naw they knew/ Their lack of compa**ion/ Made 'em scoff and laugh/ At my tact/ That's fine/ I'll use my other tactics/ Mitchell's wit is sharper than a tack Jack/ I don't have family, friends or a pack/ It's just this whippersnapper/ And I learned from the last ones/ Who sh** on me/ All I need/ To succeed/ Is brevity/ Astounding/ What?/ How I get these words through my teeth/ While keepin' a flow/ And my tone unique/ Stayin' composed as I speak/ Over a beat/ Made by yours truly/ So versatile with my style/ I did what I had to do/ Remained docile/ The way I was repaid/ I will no longer stand single file/ No more beguiling/ You cannot defile/ This entity/ Put it on my D.A.D./ I'm a good person/ Always have been/ Will be/ For eternity
