Substantial - 4DozDatDonKno lyrics

[Intro] Yo this is Substantial here with [?] Johnson and we'd like to dedicate this song to all of you who think that hip hop's dead. This is for you [Verse 1] You can rot in hell Hip-hop's alive and well At least that's the word that I've heard from over thousands of my clientele I excel very far beyond just rhyming well Labels no I don't wear a sign saying I'm for sale Devils aren't built for this watch the God fire hell A path of bodies leading to my throne for those that tried and failed You're softer than Cottonelle belong in a garbage pail Throwing stones at French women's the only way you'll rock the bells You ain't good at nothing else so you gotta sell But you ain't good at this either far as I can tell Give it up like prom night I bomb mics Still stay cooler than Snoop in Antarctica eating Klondike On any given calm night I will reek havoc And make your top 5 MC's look like weak rappers 10 year vets sounding like they need practice Take 'em to school and you know I really teach cla**es [Bridge #1] Hey [?] do I know man. You know not exactly the nicest guy doing it, but then again I'm far from the wackest guy doing it too, you know? [Verse 2] I'll show you why everything I touch is critically acclaimed Feeble spitter reconsider before dissing me again I stay mentally advanced though we're physically the same So a battle's pointless not to mention literally insane When it came to moving units I sold a fraction of most But on the great paper chase you know who captured the most (Me) Mostly because I paid attention in math cla** And I won't let a record label pimp my black a** Scratch that we ain't the same don't embarra** me Quality music nowadays is a rarity (true) That's all I want to make until the day they bury me Rather be a great artist than a celebrity Sounds weird but good like PB and celery Am I less real because I never got a felony? My goal isn't to rest in the hills of Beverly But make these hell like hoods a little more heavenly [Bridge #2] Hey, man everybody like a little slice of the good life, but you know.. sometimes reality kick in and you gotta do that 9 to 5 grind until everything else pop off. What can you do? [Verse 3] Yeah I'm known to get it live and still work a 9 to 5 But you never take a job that don't benefit your company Pimp them ba*tards [?] till their a**es had enough of me Laughing in their faces while they're thinking that they're f**ing me Luckily it's temporary because I'm a visionary Getting paid for using slang you won't find in the dictionary Bama a**es take that to your grammar cla**es Spitting diction that you couldn't envision with MC Hammer's gla**es Meanwhile this jam surpa**es any and all preconceptions And you thought it wouldn't happen like Bush's re-election Genius 4 more years of him and the penis Won't break the focus of most of the cats that I'm teamed with So in this selfish game we remain self-contained Rest of ya'll getting shaft bet'cha a** in hella pain Get a brain pathetic lame I'm something you'll never tame Substantial's the effin' name, and it's time I let it reign forever!
