Murda Mook - Clap For Me lyrics

[Verse 1] Uh, uh, uh! Hey look! Let's toast with the most high That praise to the [?] Celebrate the fact that we survived to be the loca(?) Oh my! Been a long time coming for me I was starting to believe there wasn't no light in that tunnel for me Record labels wasn't f**ing with me And the sad part is, that none of the artist was f**ing with me I used to dream like, one day they'll go come and get me Somebody's gotta like me Somebody's gonna pick me They see the work,they see the talent, they see the hunger in me What could be hindered in me I mean the sh** was simply, mind boggling My [?] smacked DvD, the reason lot of rapper got exposure [?] whether you admit to the fact Everybody want to smack and went straight to the back Let's see who I was k**ing next So when some strange play (?) I'm responsible for a lot of y'all sucess Clap for me [Chorus] If I'm lost in the battle, would you clap for me? If I never sold a record, would you clap for me? Or would you clap for me when my body hit the ground? Man f** that, clap for me now, now, now Clap for me now, now, now (x4) [Verse 2] Yo, it's strange the way the game changed We could go from rich to trying to maintain And it starts from ground zero on the same plane But then they crash Trynna merge in the same lane (Damn) In the [?] they all sponsor my thought process I'mma record most [?] Endorse that check And I was off to the races I'm tying up my laces I'm trynna win for always like cross [?]lation Rakim told me : No mather what, you the truth The king said his son called himself Murda Mook Can't forget [?], R.I.P He brought me to the [?] When I was nineteen and he told me I was the nicest MC in this whole industry Well, maybe not the whole, it was besides Em and he But uh, I tell you that And I know he looking proud Looking down and I ain't even from this town What that tell you, clap for me [Chorus] [Verse 3] Look! Ayo Big, did they clap for you? Ayo pap (?), did they clap for you? Ayo [?], did they clap for you? Big L, did they clap for you? Or, did they snap on you and throw Gansta rap on you and say that You was the reason the crime rate was boosting And your music was the [?] for the shootings You nobody 'til somebody k**s you God damn Big, now I really feel you Here's the story of a young boy growing up [?] in the [?] blowing up Young boy set itselft a bar as a superstar Angel voice set the bar Had the whole world in awe, was an icon Everybody [?] him Made you wanna dance, [?] and spin He ruled the world, he couldn't lose [?] had him all over the news And everybody's view changed, he was the villian They didn't care if he was innocent, he looked like he did it Friend abandonned, society [?] him Black cloud on his legacy, eternally damaged But hey, all good things come to an end Dies from an heart attack, y'all [?] again? Clap for him [Chorus] [Outro] Why should we have to wait for somebody to pa** away To ack their accomplishments Give it all while they living And be appreciative Oh when it fall over, would you clap for me? Oh when I reach the end of my road, would you clap for me? Oh clap for me Put your hands together
