RALI - Shock & Awe lyrics

[Intro: Katt Williams] I'm just saying, live yo muthaf**in life You gotta get yo muthaf**in hustle Understand n***as is hating on you regardless Get that outta yo head; that fantasy world where n***as ain't hating on you You gotta be grateful - you need haters What the f** is you complaining about? What the f** do you think a hater's job is? To f**in hate! So let them muthaf**a do they goddamn job! [Verse I: RALI] These n***as talk too much Keep your mouth shut Hate is the enemy of success, progress Everything I do ain't for myself, I'm just Keeping stability of an upset conscience Haters are my throne Fake rappers are my armrest I'mma do me, yeah I'mma do it honest These n***as wanna compete? No contest Tell them n***as I'm about my biz - no nonsense This is the real world With all the faking and hating And all this procrastination You premature pussies nothing but little girls So I intend to be flagrant And I intend to make sure that you n***as hate me I work hard my n***a, I don't ask for sh** So why these n***as always gotta ask for sh** I'm not the type to put n***as on blast for sh** So if the shoe fits, Cinderella, gla** the sh** If money, clothes and hoes; Videos and shows Are keeping n***as exposed I'mma be on a roll I'm not selling my soul though Fascists fear me writing rhymes with prepositions and adjectives My lines are knives and when it bleeds it burns When the money comes in, best believe it's earned I try to give back cause everybody needs a turn But being hot so cold, freezer burn [Hook: RALI] This is the story of a fortunate outcast From a city where the hopeful are outcla**ed From a city where the hopeless are downcast Wha-wha-wha-wha, wait a minute Take a minute If you can listen to my thoughts, you can think a minute Pay attention to the earth and escape a minute Look at your reflection and stop being fake a minute It's times I feel I'm by myself Cause I just wanna be fly myself Ask a question, "Am I myself?" If I knew me, I wouldn't have to find myself Hold up - I just wanna rock wit ya To all the kids, still tryna be popular People always gonna tell you bout your obstacles Just tell them n***as this is shock & awe [Verse II: RALI] Counter-balancing madness or overwhelming with sadness Since either one is a dagger, you choose, you lose either way You can feel the noose of blues until you suffocate I just wanna see they world change like a meter maid "When you get big Shid, don't forget me." You don't really want the life but, it's oh so tempting The hype and the limelight blurred your vision A walk in my shoes'll leave you limping I'm not even on my sh** And all my fam and my fans still bump my sh** And all my old friends' girlfriends on my dick So till the end I'm give them what they wish Whether good dick or good music I'm a fool, but you know I do Keep em faded off the verbs And drunk off the words Till they fight for prohibition so I don't abuse it Make way for the man with a story to tell Take aim at the man's motivation to sell Take pride in yourself if nobody else k what they tell you; just don't fail See I'm here to make my mark Creativity ain't just finding a spark You gotta light that sh** Ignite that sh** Ironic I find my shine in the dark [Hook: RALI] This is the story of a fortunate outcast From a city where the hopeful are outcla**ed From a city where the hopeless are downcast Wha-wha-wha-wha, wait a minute Take a minute If you can listen to my thoughts, you can think a minute Pay attention to the earth and escape a minute Look at your reflection and stop being fake a minute It's times I feel I'm by myself Cause I just wanna be fly myself Ask a question, "Am I myself?" If I knew me, I wouldn't have to find myself Hold up - I just wanna rock wit ya To all the kids, still tryna be popular People always gonna tell you bout your obstacles Just tell them n***as this is shock & awe
