Versus - Tony Sopranos lyrics

[Intro] 'Cause on the mic I gotta On the mic [Verse] 'Cause on the mic I gotta represent the real rappers See me feel the Tony Sopranos As the panic attack us I try to map it with the Pen When did I start to depend On judgmental men and women Who descend From the weak and meek Want to come for the family Even my own flesh and blood Have tried to handle me By handing me Deafening blows to my sanity Like in year's time They won't be grabbing my salary How can it be? Real love is so rare I got friends who truthfully Won't even dare to care In my slumber Parties I wonder if Spinning this bottle of rum Is just another Coping mechanism Like the jokes and lyricism Hoping the prophecies of Monasticism Are fulfilling The self Health, wealth and top shelf women ain't nothing Unless my religion Needs the Monk spitting Twist and shouting I hear my train a comin' I'm throwing the towel in To ride to Shaolin Climb the mountain To the apex Sweating the tech of Rakim Amen Renounce my pursuits I'm 'bout this spiritual Living and kung-fu As I enter the chambers Beginning with the beats To the voice, flow, topics to hooks and rhyme schemes And finally In the bottom of the 35th Wordplay got me built like a monolith Tough tongue like an Atlantic columnist So sharp I cut through anybody's lisp And I don't want to trip Fix my vision on the greatest of all time list So timeless I'll mime this And still be sounding the flyest Know a God MC has gotta stay pious At peace Until I'm released Back into the hands of the beast Out the Monastery Straight back in the world Back to these friends and back to these girls Sounding like [Interlude] Son of a b**h Would you just stay with me? Stay with you? What for? Look at us, we're already fighting Well that's what we do We fight [Outro] On the mic I gotta 'Cause on the mic I gotta On the mic 'Cause on the mic I gotta represent the real rappers The real rappers
