Jermaine Green - Campaign lyrics

[Intro] Motherf**ers How many times I gotta say that.. And I'm not even tripping because I've said this a lot at this point but.. How many times do I have to say that: [Verse] I'm the best rapper coming out of Melrose If you didn't know just listen to how the wind blows Sounding all melodic, kind of how Ethan spits his flows I got a lot of opportunity, it's like I opened ten doors I mean I, can kick game like Nintendo And when I spit it's hot, I gotta open up some windows And yes, I got some pot if you 'bout to roll up some indo But in reality girl, I'm just thinking 'bout yo' friend though So where she at? She's leavin'? Bring her back I don't care if she's got a man, I'll talk to her 'bout that But when I ask her that, she tells me she ain't got a man You just want me for yourself, c'mon girl that ain't a true friend But, not to worry Here listen to this story About a girl wanted Ethan and so did a bunch of her friends So Ethan said just send 'em in, ain't no time to be intimate Then Ethan got some a**, no donkey, I am not the president Y'all are irrelevant I am just enlightening, inspiring People to make fire like some lightening So try it man But don't go and try some sh** like Vicodin I have been way too high before, those heights are mighty frightening I could spit it for a minute and have people say I did it and I made it and I am already famous But in my reality, most of y'all don't know what my name is Didn't get one vote in the yearbook, but in lights is where my name is It's insane, it's crazy How the lamest person that you thought would maybe Never leave the city, turns out I just brought it with me So if you try to take your shot at me Better k** me, don't you miss me 'Cause when I come back you know I'm getting busy No one's f**ing with me Now should I... Keep going, keep flowing I mean I, I go in You know it, the coldest Not a Ko-dak moment That happens, when Ethan Ain't rapping, or dapping The homies, no It's a dog eat dog world So you throw me a bone Or I will take your girl I've done that enough, no it ain't like I'm tough They are just attracted to me when they hear my stuff I mean I mean it's happened before, before the rapping, a who*e I wouldn't call them that, it is just set To automatically play out that way So it could happen today, natural reaction, but hey Don't get too ang-r-y It's not my fault that she is thinking 'bout me Maybe I shouldn't brag about it in songs anyways But, tell me if I'm wrong, but this is my music and they Haven't been making sh**, at least nothing close to a hit So I'ma say, what I want I'm flowing weird, but I still manage to flaunt Words coming out of my mouth seems to you I'm trying to taunt Nah man, I'm not trying to f**ing taunt I'ma just speak my mind You could rewind a billion times And try to figure out my rhymes But metaphors stored in these lines Could never even cross your mind You know I spit it clever, no one's better than Ethan when he shines So I'ma leave all you behind Buzzing like a f**ing beehive Sting me it will only lead to defeat: Your corpses at my feet Damn, I need a breath I don't need a f**ing weapon, b**h I'm rapping you to d**h I bet you thought I lost my flow there, that is blasphemy at best You got it backwards, got it back And now you can happily regret Why as soon as I start rapping People begin to start yapping, talking Saying they can cap him, Ethan Lay him in a coffin even When my lyrics off the charts But a freestyle I cannot Spit it as well as when I'm writing f** it, I'll just get to lighting... You got it backwards, this ain't a game of Mad Libs I hear you talking really big, but all I hear is mad fibs Here's Aspirin, so you can't feel it when you get your a** whipped I've shown people, ask them, I've already gone past him So f** it, we'll talk in past tense Do you understand that? That's when I can say I already f**ed you up In a rap battle, no knuckle ups But f** it, even if we dropped the gloves I would end up on top like a boxer was But why every time I show my talent with rhymes Somebody wanna fight, or somebody wanna shine Brighter than the motherf**ing fireman When the building's coming down right on top of him While carrying suffocating children But he still makes it out without tiring He saved the people, inspiring I could say that is a metaphor for me: Ethan I could say that the people adore me, achievements Galore and on the floor, what a f**ing E-vent Indeed I've saved a life or two But that story's not fit for now, another song'll do 'Cause when you spit your flow you hope they will admire you When I say "you" it's me and "they" is the people of Melrose streets Yeah, wonder how you will react to this here You should know I have been rapping for about two whole years I fear, you will not understand why I am doing this I mean how could you vibe with it with that type of cluelessness So, Ethan what is this six minute song? They've already been listening for about four minutes long Only thing that they've learned is that you learned to spit really strong Well the purpose of this is to know if I have gone wrong I mean if I think that it's really sweet And my friends say it's really neat I need to know the rest of you Do you think that this sh** is weak? Do you know I've been working on the lyrics for about a week? Do you know I just wrote this line while you all take the SAT's? And I don't have a future without this So if I'ma do it I need to be completely doubtless Need the support of my city for this rap biz This ain't some type of hat trick I won't do none of that trap sh** I am solely about rapping Lyrics, hoping many hear it Listen to the words, apparent I've working seconds, hours, days, showers, sunny rays Hoping Melrose will approve New people say what it do Old friends asking 'How's it been?' Asking 'Album dropping when?' So Melrose tell me the deal Am I winning your appeal? Do I have to go harder to show you I got many sk**s? I hope you know I'm going off And I won't quit until I've topped Every chart, but now people say: 'Wonder when this slow part will stop' Ethan Harrington is better than every rapper ever Coming out of Melrose Ma**achusetts So begin the rapture, Uzi's Strapped to backs of raptors, shooting Spraying, angels laying dying Children crying, Hell on earth "This your pilot speaking Most of you will die this evening Some of you will see the weekend” Am I peakin' before I even begin Because as soon as I start speaking People give me different reasons Interrupting me like “Ethan How are you gon' last this season When you don't have any income?" I just say that I am leavin' You don't know what I'm from Even if you know where I'm from And you don't know what I'm about to do To those ahead, I'm pa**ing you And if you sick, you have the flu But if I'm ill, I'm rapping dude You can say you're friends half the school But my friends international Never not going off, somebody tell me to stop Please stop me, I ain't breathing Screaming, f**ing kamikaze How's he still rapping after the rapture happened Running fast like rabbits, no trapper can grab him The f** is happening? It's havoc Crisis, murder, torture, horror Burning buildings, bells are ringing But Ethan just keeps on spitting Turns around and gets to "ritting" Writing, sorry Mispronounced it for the rhyming, climbing stories Gaining traction, now he's at the top Let's go, it's time for action I hope you can see now, to the one's that said I was lame They said stick to the f**ing script, I said stick to your f**ing lane Hey Melrose what will you say now that this beat is in flames Ethan f**ing Harrington is here, you should join my Campaign [Outro] I could follow you and work in an office building Feeling like I want to off the ceiling to strive for millions But I couldn't because I struggle with my day job Nine to five, minimum wage job but I weigh options Hey I could Let other people stay popping and run the stage often I could sit back and choke, stay coughing Let them party at night Why you think I don't have a feature? 'Cause I want the spotlight, you want me to follow, I just might Or I can work my a** off at my desk every day Slaving away, scripting all the metaphors in my brain Paving a way, rather than following paths of people That only end up wallowing in deep sadness, evil thoughts All they want to do is go back, cathedrals lost Saying they did what they had to, what was the cost? This life will fly past unless you do what you want Whatever makes you happy, a sad life is one that is lost It's Ethan Harrington
