[** **] "What it take" "to be a great" "MC"
If you ask me, it's more than Master of Ceremonies a lot of Masquerading Cornballs Don't realize it means Mad Creativity In day and age of mediocrity There's two types of that you'll recognize and hear But I prefer the with the lyrics of the year Than the gimmick with the and the right puppeteer Now you can be the next rock ?? still 10 steps away 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 this means greatness takes blood, sweat, and tears It also takes an industry that breed fear Or all this mindless crap up in your ears And ?? in the contrast of you get to hear You got to recognize it's a determined A righteous young is a devil's worst fear But you wanna give the people peace and satisfaction Everybody's mama a piece of the action So now I fall victim to and demand Immaculate conceptions, illegitimate to be the greatest story ever missed Which means its meant to be for whoever's this
2x] When it's all said and it should be heard and seen 'Til this cold-hearted game forces us to teams While the for the loot spreads out like gangrene So the haves chase their tails the nots chase their dreams As the years the days, past the futures, meet fate Like firstborn, waiting for pop's release date Postpone, meanwhile, I means To revise and renew what was just and seen
It's been stated that I rhyme God and I ?? like a poet One hand ?? the like Lady Macbeth Flip like Bela Karolyi Warm hearted, cold I like opposite left I left opposites right what they off My rights right-wing as left to right beside me my right hand man 'cause he left what's right And I the right to write 'til I'm free 'Cause I free with my pen, That ya'll couldn't if you all day long Literally, literature designed for one orator Stays on the Emcee's emcee, I be the emcee's emcee 'Cause I am what I am thinking Except my mind's blinking My eyes even when my eyes' drinking I's a socializer, but so with those wiser Ask yourself a music so misused it's self contained And not sustained I myself contemplate this I make myself complain Shall my raps stay maintained, wrapped in 'Til they're by human consumers? Emphatically no, so I rap I go And let it grow up in your like a tumor

Aiiyo, ya think ya know me well There's more to me than ya mind got for And much more than a clever verse or two That's all you know me, you ain't even knowing that You I give a fuck whether or not my record sells? You're damn right but you see that ain't the way I'm keeping If one million people it does that make it true You judge my by whether or not my pocket's fat? Well, you When the cash cow milking It yours but the job pays well, don't it? And if you're lucky you can get to taste a drop We'll see happy when you're old but you're not grown You see me? Now, yeah, you'll see me too Fucking you up when the point change, don't it? I know hip, but you determine if it's hop or pop just a man without a voice, pass the microphone I the diff between written rhymes and freestyles You see, for me, like having sex or making love And you should know by now I'm to the pad and pen But I'm entitled to on her every now and then Will your children know the hip hop the songs you hate be shrouded in mystery? Don't step to me with your stats and your smarts You know your neighborhood by street signs or I'm not talking 'bout the first record made I'm talking 'bout the first one ever made you The first records that I never played me And I can still play 'em today 'cause they stay You know this time I'm only speaking on the It makes sense now and then, yeah, now and 'Cause now it's picture perfect sense and then It's making perfect sense like it did now
