Ratatat - Thought Process lyrics

[Sample: Chris Emdin] The winner of the New York City Science Genius Battle is...Jalib from Urban Assembly [applause] We're definitely Beatniks Stress, I gotta lotta that no time for commas though I'mma go harder then a fourth of a dollar I'mma scholar, flow tighter than a turtle neck collar Why bother with the hatters darth vader I'm your father cuz Yeah they gone talk but I don't give a damn It just don't stick to me like somebody spraying pam I'm just tryna have fun I don't wanna be ya man I'mma teen with a dream tryna get it while I can Put the ball in my hands and watch what I do with it I'll jam you stand I'm Jordan and you Pippen Unexpected like a movie where the winner is the villan They just hatten me for living so I guess I'm Meg Griffin But I ain't tripping, I'm pure to the core so When they talk nonsense I don't even listen Your mind is a prison Trapped by the metal bar thoughts society's been drilling in your brain Your taught that if your skinny then your pretty And all black kids involuntarily act ratchet But drastic times means positive attitudes And luckily for me I was born with that attribute So two scoops for me if you please Of that good life with whipped cream and sprinkles see It's like... you live then you die so Why waste time I'mma try to leave my legacy behind oh! And the hatters I don't pay'em no mind They are not complex just fans in disguise so Instead of bashing, I'mma see it as a profit And encourage my supporters, to come outside of the closet It is what it is, everyone tryna be different But if everybody's different then nobody really is so I'll do what I do best and wait till they see the difference That I am and I'm still in the making But inspiration I lack I do this everyday In every way nobody can inspire you to res pirate We need more of that, cuz nowadays wack raps As common as a car with an empty tank, let me thank My thoughts flow on a blank piece of paper And I'mma hold it down I'm the man no anchor I bottle up my anger just to pour out on track And a couple minutes later it's a banger I'm no stranger to the world and it's ways I will never play the victim, I'mma try to keep it simple Get paid for the way I do thangs And live each day like the next day I'mma be laying in my grave So that if I die young I can say I lived more Than the critics who spend life exaggerating flaws on Guys like me- Should've made that a singular word Cuz there ain't neva been a guy like me And between you and me, huh, I ain't really worried I'm just waiting on the moment then I'm taking all the glory And the rappers that are wishing that they were my competition just Aren't really factors in the matters of my stature An actor on stage but never on the mic This life is a choice and I've already made mine, P.m. say your prayers, amen It ain't a matter of how, only a matter of when
