What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
It's stuck between platinum and flop, underground and mainstream
2
Conscious, backpack, scratch that, same thing
3
I'm somewhere between the real and the fakeness
4
The red pill, blue pill, real and the Matrix
5
And I can't take this
6
If the game needs a new look, I'm between a tummy tuck and a face lift
7
And everything I say in these pages
8
Is straight from the heart, nah magazines, y'all can't rate this
9
But I'll be debatin it, it's a bit outragous
10
Like it's an air virus, and this shits contagious
11
I'm downloadin like niggaz actually play this
12
Maybe I'm buggin out, maybe I'm on a spaceship
13
See I was on my stay out chill shit
14
The way Mouse kills shit, I'm here just to lay out real shit
15
Besides, other dudes styles remind me of spinnin rims
16
That shit got played out real quick
17
See some wrote him off, some said he was done
18
Made a joke of, hope he enjoyed the run
19
I don't enjoy bein shunned, so I'm back as Neo
20
Fans enjoyed The One, anoint me as begun
21
I had the whole hood thinkin' he would never eat
22
Rappers tried to diss, thinkin' we would never meet
23
I heard it if you said it
24
You wrote it on online then I read it, now I match it nigga bet it
25
Cause I remember clearly
26
Once "Pump It Up" stopped soarin, there's a few mother fuckers stopped callin
27
See I remember shit spread like cancer
28
I would call folks said, folk ain't answer
29
A few chicks runnin started pullin they pants up
30
A few stopped actin like my private dancer
31
But a lightbulb hit once they started the neglictment
32
See there I was, thinkin' I was all that sexy
33
Can't be finished, what nigga I beg ya pard'
34
I just let niggaz get a head start
35
I walk to the finish, y'all spread out chase
36
Nah spead out pace, and I'll still win the race
37
See I'm joggin
38
Other niggaz legs starts wobblin, when opportunity is start knockin
39
You got the crown, pass off like Stockton
40
It's time to work, I'm officially clocked in
41
He is a problem, weavin and bobbin'
42
Through the speculation that his label tried to drop him
43
I can't leave, even though it's big options
44
Kev only signed me, to keep this shit rockin'
45
Don't ask me how I'm doin, I been better
46
Stuck in cold Feburary, with a thin sweater
47
I'm far from a "YES" man, I'm a trend setter
48
It's no games, just a Def Jam Vendetta
49
Don't put niggaz in the same sink as me
50
I mean metaphors, storylines, deep shit, club shit, girl shit, world shit
51
They don't use to ink like me
52
Niggaz don't even THINK like me
53
Who sees what I'm watchin, he ain't poppin'
54
Don't deserve to drink water from the tub that I wash in
55
WAIT, start again, it's a privilege to breath the same air that I farted in
56
They want no parts with him
57
I dare niggaz categorize me
58
If my names on a mixtape, then capitalize me
59
I been stopped goin' to Mixtape Awards
60
Don't need them to tell me, the mixtapes is yours
61
I had other ideas, while hittin' loot
62
I'm thinkin' red carpet, I went and copped a suit
63
See I'm thinking Grammy's
64
Sunglasses on, with my On Top family and a bad bitch handy
65
Each day there's a "W", it felt like heaven
66
I'm at an actress's house, that felt like neckin'
67
R&B on, looked and felt like Meagan
68
Gave me headache too, I felt like an Excedrin
69
Talk very fly
70
Least until I bought every pie, me bein' war readys in my eyes
71
And these dudes might as well be Jamie Foxx
72
Trying to sound like somebody that already died
73
The kid keep a snub wit 'em, good pair of gloves wit 'em
74
Your first week ain't right, they can't fuck wit 'em
75
Now if you don't sell 5 mill, they had enough of 'em
76
Let me find out Hip Hop's turnin' Republican
77
I'll sum it up to what he is about
78
Still new to most, they still feelin' him out
79
Things were type bland, Joey seasoned him out
80
I'm the nicest dude out since "Reasonable Doubt"
81
Say it ain't so
82
Rest In Peace Luther, there's some other niggaz gay on the low
83
So live, who can see 'em, no guy
84
I'm the Mets, was suppose to be ill in '05
85
As ill as the flow gets, need a pill a dosage
86
So if you can't tell, I'm prepared for '06
87
About to OD, anybody that know me
88
Can tell you I'm bout to make shit feel like it's '03
89
More like '99
90
No names should be mentioned but mine, unless you talkin' Big Pun in his
91
Prime
92
Maybe '96 Jay, before Dame was throwin' money around
93
Or 2pac without Humpty around
94
Or 50 before Em, Nas talkin' like a gun in his song
95
Cam'ron during "Children Of The Corn"
96
Beans before the cops came through and try to grill 'em
97
I'm talkin '95, Big L before they killed 'em
98
Em before 8 Mile, Shyne before the jail shit
99
Canibus, no album out before the L shit
100
Talkin' bout Kiss, DMX when he was fuckin' wit coke
101
Or Cuban Linx, with Raekwon and Ghost
102
I do it all, who blendin' so well in the game
103
Talkin' Fab, back when he was still spellin' his name
104
On my Diddy shit, Memphis Grizzly shit
105
Like back in the day when Clue swiped all of Biggie's shit
106
Rappers don't need trouble with I
107
Unless it's Rass Kass before the D.W.I
108
Or Talib with Mos, Common before "Be"
109
If they any less common, don't put 'em before me
110
See, I'm not a rapper, I'm a prophet
111
Chill Joe stop it, skill will speak for you, don't pop shit
112
Fuck jail, I'm on my payroll cop shit
113
I call that bootleg cable, it's no box shit
114
All black, lookin' grimey in the crowd
115
Heat on him, no shirt, don't try me when I'm out
116
I toast somethin' tiny that'll blaow
117
Ain't gotta see Paul Wall, if you want somethin' shiney in your mouth
118
I probably fool cats, cause I don't ride out in some big car
119
In the streets, like I ain't some big star
120
And these young mother fuckers, is about to fuck up
121
Like leavin' they whole career in some bitch car
122
No names, but it's no sublime
123
Nigga you know who you are, I'll end it before it goes too far
124
Your pub still fucked, you a liar money
125
Joe's still spendin "Pump It Up", "Fire" money
126
Glock for hire money, don't try to mug me
127
Call ASCAP, maybe B.M.I for money
128
Please, what's wrong wit 'em, somethin' ain't the norm' wit 'em
129
Ain't too many dudes out there, out performin 'em
130
Some require these skills, I was born wit 'em
131
Street's askin' what's takin' so long wit 'em
132
Jump Off, I'm the best to happen
133
He's the answer, the who's got the next in rappin'
134
I suggest you ask 'em
135
If Hip Hop is all smoke and mirrors, then I'm the Windex and a napkin
136
New dudes is whack, some vet's is has-been's
137
Some were Top 20, till I crept right passed 'em
138
It's a wrap, Joey sealin' it nigga
139
Cold out, Long Johns still dealin' it nigga
140
Still peelin' it nigga
141
If I only get 'em two times, just know it was the dilinger nigga
142
It's that YAK music, don't know how to act music
143
Gettin' my Kanye on, puttin' out "Crack Music"
144
Car jack music, out what they lack music
145
Send my little man, get rid of the pack music
146
That I'm back music, that click clack music
147
That A-Team, Muggs, that Fab and Stack music
148
Now who said they fuckin' with me
149
They just said that fuckin' with me, they didn't mean it (NAH)
