Generate meaning
1
[Chorus]
2
They wanna know (All you have to do)
3
Know how I do
4
Maybe you don't (All you have to do is call me, call me)
5
Why you playing, why you playing?
6
I be going like two and two
7
With some hot shit ready to spit for you
8
With the songs that you love just to get you through
9
Back in effect
10
I'm back to collect
11
Got the respect
12
Which will turn into the cash or a check
13
You can, pay me in fear, you can pay me with love
14
You can, pay me in tears or you can pay me in blood
15
Spray me with slugs, and the revolution live, I never die in vain
16
The writer might be dead but the piece remain on the train (yea)
17
The music help you be true to yourself, accumulate wealth
18
So what I spit is the embodiment I do for self
19
As a teen it was kinda hard to find a job
20
I took over my writer's bloc and ran it like a spot
21
I'm Pimp see in this game nigga, I'm a hard
22
But I'm never feasting on it, keep speaking on it God
23
That's what they say when I'm building, I keep my dialogue street
24
But still spiritual like we deep inside a mosque
25
Or the sin of God that don't preach or go where the sinners are
26
And keep the fire burning like a slum lord in the Bronx
27
[Chorus]
28
Rhyme writer from nine to five
29
It's the 25 to lifers with the balance of the acrobatic high wires
30
The pain of the slave with his back feeling like fire
31
Cause the whip talking to his ass like Knight Rider
32
Most of these rappers now days be sounding like liars
33
Got visions of guns in they head like the Pied Piper
34
When I bust they start to disappear like my lighters
35
Cause they shit is faker than the dreads on Mikah Phifer
36
The industry is in trouble
37
Plus these industry niggaz is fake, so they tend to be in a bubble
38
So I hit the block where they're known to thicken the plot
39
Sticking up cops, kids be pocket-picking they Glocks (my man)
40
Balling outta control, don't be forgetting that niggaz is broker than dishes at a Greek wedding
41
They might try to run up on you, take your life quick
42
It's like this when you walk the strip up on the night shift
43
[Chorus]
44
This right here the bare essentials with no extras y'all
45
I kept it raw from the school of thought where less is more
46
Brooklyn is cooking and I blessed it with the special sauce
47
I got the soul of a prophet and never take a loss
48
Fresher than kicks out the box, the kids on the block
49
That is street hungry trying to get that sweet honey out the rock
50
Crack in the socks when they click the row thicker than sour sop
51
Listening to my black power rock
52
Music, of this hip hop we be rock to it
53
I'm a river, you a valley, watch me run right through it
54
You wanna learn how to do it, tell the truth in your single first
55
Lil' Kim went to jail for what you do in every single verse (free Lil' Kim)
56
Lyrics is perjury, your beats is more plastic than surgery
57
And we in the United States of emergency
58
One of the main reasons none of you lames worry me
59
Is I change lanes like I change planes and change currency
60
[Chorus]
