Whale - Speak lyrics

Speak [Verse 1: Whale] First off, I'm not a conscious rapper, I'm a rapper with a conscious Vicious lies, dangerous rumors make me outcast in the concerts Uh, them guys that offer me a blunt, I like nah man I ain't roll like dat Whisper behind my back, man that n***a really can't be black! Hah, I just wanna make it to seventy, happy, alive and healthy So if I gotta wear my Erkel gla**es, that alright, overalls and wealthy Rich in words, rich in flavor, rich in green cause I'm a saver Or savior of the green when I totally recalled it like Arnold Schwartzenegger You know my motto, you only live once, so I'mma tread lightly But I'mma live it every minute even though they say my life's unsightly Man, that so much bull it could give you wings So go ahead, flap away, take your two cents and all your things And do the T.I., kick rocks to a fountain, pitch it and make a wish Wait, make that three cents cause I'mma step back and make a swish Like me father taught me But minus all the co*ky But he co*kier than me when it comes to women and bed rocking Sometimes I feel like I'm kneeling in my fears cause I can't stand him Tiptoes just so I can face him, write him off red marker brandin'? I'm sharing like I'm caring about whatever happens to him At least he knows whats in my head, a brainy music rhythm But now I actually do care, now that I found out he needs it intensively But I dont wanna be hurt so i walk carefully and defensively It's questionable Music, I tell you again and again until you learn your lesson Girl, more on your side than Nationwide, no such thing as a stupid question [Hook: Stevie Wonder] Girl you've got to speak! Open your mind, and think Open your eyes and wink And then you realize, it was all a disguise, and i recognize That my girl you gotta speak! Open your heart for me! Open your soul and you're free! And open your mouth and speak! Uh, open your mouth and speak, speak! [Verse 2: Whale] Yeah, and if it ain't broke dont fix it, just make it better If your girl is cold and need a shirt, get her a sweater Yeah, the problems smashing to ya, that take you down a notch Complain about your issues and these n***as drinking scotch But you, can find the perfect response to the argument 5 days ago Try to bring it up, but it don't matter, yeah that sixteen below Yeah, we know that's it's a cold world, and it fits right under the verse Like sharks under that pier that take whale a give em a curse And now we see that great guy that nobody wants Definition of the friendzone, they want one that doesnt speak, he flaunts Those endless moments that are strung along by a couple of words Seconds can become hours is just a couple of verbs Just remember about your problems, there's a new solution not far off Even if it playing hide-and-seek, hunt it like a man in the dark spot And when you're feeling down like Jones and all his numbers? Just remember to speak when you deal with more crap than a thousand plumbers [Hook: Stevie Wonder] [Bridge: Stevie Wonder] So girl, if you remember to just spe-eak to me, I'll tell you That i got you, I need you too believe in me! Ohhhh ohhhh Cause when you're feeling alone Just pick up the phone And if you need me I'll be on my way! [Verse 3: Macklemore] They say save the best for last, so I guess I'm the greatest rapper 2nd might be the best but the greatest is coming after I reach inside you mind when your daughter plays me while you smoke one (Isn't she lovely) haha, whale come out and k** em for a moment (See, it's just no Biggie like Pac, I want the number one spot Notorious for being twice as the best, the definition of hot) The greatest rapper can spit The greatest rapper's the sh** The greatest rapper is everything The greatest rapper's a b**h If I'm the greatest critic, then I am the greatest rapper Critique on your 50 dollar t-shirts cause your standards dont really matter So pour a gla**, cause none of these haters can ever hold me back And start over with a blank page, we put greatness on the attack I give it for my peers and my peoples in the city! If I ever fall off, the got my back holding me gritty So baby come here, I'm teach you how to speak Get you started on Monday you'll be talking throughout the week I'll wake you with my words but careful not to preach Turn up the voice of the people, speakers at the peak So baby come here, I'm teach you how to speak Get you started on Monday you'll be talking throughout the week Jump in my Cadillac my excuse for not being meek Turn up the voice of the people, speakers at the peak [Hook (vamp): Stevie Wonder]
