[** **] "What it take" "to be a great" "MC"
If you ask me, it's much more than of Ceremonies a lot of Masquerading Cornballs Don't realize it also means Mad In day and age of mediocrity There's two types of rappers that you'll recognize and But I the ones with the lyrics of the year Than the gimmick with the and the right puppeteer Now you can be the next ?? Shakespear you're still 10 steps from having a career You step up the plate to earn from your peers And end up on deck for the remainder of your I suppose this means greatness blood, sweat, and tears It also an industry that doesn't breed fear Or pumping all this mindless up in your ears And ?? in the contrast of what you get to You got to recognize it's a idea A righteous young mind is a devil's worst But when you wanna give the peace and satisfaction Everybody's mama wants a piece of the So now I fall to supply and demand Immaculate conceptions, born Destined to be the greatest ever missed Which means its meant to be for hearing this
2x] When it's all said and done it be heard and seen 'Til cold-hearted game forces us to change teams While the for the loot spreads out like gangrene So the haves chase their while the nots chase their dreams As the years chase the days, past the futures, fate Like your firstborn, waiting for pop's release Postpone, meanwhile, I accumulate To and renew what was just heard and seen
It's been stated I rhyme like God and I ?? like a poet One hand ?? the other like Lady Flip styles like Bela Warm hearted, cold I write like opposite I left opposites right what they off My left right-wing as left to right beside me Left my right hand man 'cause he left what's And I reserve the right to write I'm free I free styles with my pen, That couldn't if you freestyled all day long Literally, literature designed for one orator on the head Emcee's emcee, I be the emcee's emcee 'Cause I am saying I am thinking Except when my mind's My eyes open even when my eyes' I's a socializer, but more so those wiser Ask yourself why's a so misused it's self contained And not self I myself contemplate this 'til I make complain Shall my raps maintained, wrapped in cellophane 'Til they're unwrapped by consumers? Emphatically no, so I rap I go And let it grow up in your brain a tumor

Aiiyo, ya think ya really know me There's more to me than ya got room for And much much more a clever verse or two That's all you know about me, you even knowing that You think I a fuck whether or not my record sells? You're right but you see that ain't the way I'm keeping score If one million people said it that make it true You my music by whether or not my pocket's fat? Well, you When the cash cow milking It ain't yours but the job pays well, it? And if you're lucky you can even get to a drop see who's happy when you're old but you're not grown You see me? Now, yeah, see me later too Fucking you up the vantage point change, don't it? I know what's hip, but you if it's hop or pop You're a man without a voice, pass the microphone I know the diff between written and freestyles You see, for me, it's like sex or making love And you know by now I'm married to the pad and pen But I'm entitled to cheat on her now and then Will your children the hip hop history? Will the you hate be shrouded in mystery? Don't step to me your stats and your date smarts You know your by street signs or landmarks? I'm not 'bout the first record ever made I'm talking 'bout the one that ever made you The first records that I played played me And I can still play 'em today 'cause they stay You know time I'm only speaking on the timeless It makes sense now and then, yeah, now and 'Cause now it's making perfect sense and then making picture perfect sense like it did now
