XV - Welcome Back lyrics

[Verse One]: I played the back all my life like the lines at lunch Till the kids at school heard my lines at lunch Then I moved up front like the spider's trunk If I was then what I'm now, sh** I might have jumped Like a broker on the roof and his stocks just slumped Look out below when that flow comes up Call me The Good Son Y'all rappers play Russell if you want But watch me Rev. Run this year Catch me standing on stages, I stage the amazing Rise to the occasion like standing ovations Rounds of applause and I'm clapping at you all That ever doubted Hoff, aka Ferris Bueller The days I'm off is when I drain my thoughts So I don't ever overflow And as long as my train of thought is on track with the raps Then I'm the little engine that thought he could flow Oh! [Hook]: If you got Complex and waited for new sh** from your boy X, welcome back If you thought hip hop was dead till December 19th Then I can tell y'all welcome back If you said that boy XV put Kansas on the map Then I gotta say welcome back And if you knew or just ain't new My name's XV, good evening for you Welcome back [Verse Two]: n***as putting my name in their raps I could have them f**ed up, yeah have they a** clapped But I just ease off, let 'em rap Cause that's all they really wanna do, correct? To make matters worse, I'm seeing all these CB4s And I put rappers first like a CD out the CD store So what to blame a label for For putting bullsh** out or causing it to happen like a matador I ain't mad at all I ain't mad at you I ain't mad at y'all Nah You condoms, I rip y'all wrappers/rappers So can it, like sitcom laughter n***a, your flow played hide-go-seek I climb Mt. Everest, you can't see my peak Then I answer the phone like I answer the streets 365, 24-7 days a week n***a [Hook]: If you been on Myspace and you seen my face Then I gotta say welcome back And if you couldn't wait, for this mixtape Then all I can say to you is welcome back If you pointed at The Source mags saying I'm the next n***a Then I must say welcome back And if you knew or just ain't new My name's XV, good evening to you Welcome back
