They Said

Verse 1:
They wanna hush you up
they wanna shut you down
I used to slang my rhymes all over the town
I'm coming back to take back everything society stole from me
They try to take my identity
I invented my lifestyle at seventeen
It took a long time for me to see
The crooked politics in the music industry
Mess with me psychologically
They done rose up and pissed off an old school playa
and made me crazy you see
they wanna strip you of your gold
Kicked out the studio
They f*kin wasted my life they f*kin threw it in the trash
now im duckin and dodging im coming back with a blast
"You don't look like a rapper"
And I wasnt a wigger
I was a white pimp living playalistic
Theres a difference
livin it up with a touch of class
Hanging with hoodlums
and getting a piece of a**

Hook:
They said you couldnt do it/you shouldn't do it
nobody has ever done it/you might as well quit it
i had potential but my life they bullsh**ted
2x

Verse 2:
They took me lightly
they didnt relate to my plight you see
I reached out my hand
but nobody gave a damn
I hear theres devils in the industry
how could they rob my soul more than the pricks in my history
I think I'll keep my rights
keep my soul intact
I went back in time
and with myself made a pact
I'll live up to the dream and keep an ear close to the streets
I swore you couldnt get the best of me
my enemies flee
haters can't fade me
I just keep droppin it stronger and harder
something inside me that drives me
I put my lyrics on the mic and vocals to the test
Keep droppin my best and to the masses leave the rest
I'm still on this lifelong quest
for knowledge and change in a world settled for less
Am I the best? That's for you to decide
Just ride to this while I digress

Hook
2x
