Listen
I'm an emcee first so guess what, shithead
I can be an arrogant prick too, dickhead
We all got tugs on the road that spit lead
What you choose to promote? What’s your intent?
Man done hundreds of shows, no deal
Can count countries I been and I still
Ill shit, real shit, red and blue pill shit
Talk sense but tugs still feel shit
14 in coliseum with big women
Every other week when the shots kept ringing
So parden me if I don’t give a fuck lately
But half of these bars emcees wanna spray me
Only care if you wanna educate me
Or great emcee like Biggie was maybe
And I don't response for who hate me
Don’t lie to yourself, claim that you don’t rate me
Who else can make intelligence seem sexy
Girls try hard, still can't get me
Gotta be a queen, I stay select
Grown man, don’t run when I get a erect
Not any girl that can feel the sweat, heat
Push the mind sex and I change the technique
Who the fuck, you wanna claim you rep street
You ain't out there with the youts and get deep?
I'm so cool playing the game
But I make my own rules
I'm so cool stay in your lane
Or you'll get took to school
I'm so cool playing the game
But I make my own rules
I'm so cool, so cool, so fucking cool
Many man talk shit but they got no talent
Everything that I spit classic
Known from Sudan to Zimbabwe, the hard way
Livin’ off the work of the word that the bard spray
Teaching my shit in the schools since the first disc
What would you think when I'm dead, I'm a wordsmith
In the truest sense of the word, have you heard, prick
It’s a new day, absurd with my nerd shit
We know Akala, we know that he reads
Never run from no guy and see men bleed
We all talk tough on the track, oh please!
You ain't out there on your own on the steet
I am not Superman, you are not Superman
But I don't need to pretend that I am
I’de rather fight with the right foe that has stole land
Soul stone cold put a price on your soul man
You can take my wisdom for weakness, sweetness
I don’t belive that ‘turn the other cheek’ shit
"Fuck! Akala, it's all that deep shit?"
But lease tell me, really what's street shit?
Italian designers out on the block for you
Shot rocks, pop Glocks, hop blocks with you?
We own the straps and the scales?
Or the fasion sales? Or we just pack the jails
I'm so cool playing the game
But I make my own rules
I'm so cool stay in your lane
Or you'll get took to school
I'm so cool playing the game
But I make my own rules
I'm so cool, so cool, so fucking cool
A military mind since back in '04
Who’s relevant from then its oh so poor
Emcees come through and the last one sees
And I'm bleeding and breathing, the meaning we feel it
Don’t want credit for the message I discuss
Enough conscious emcees are boring as fuck
Credit 'cause my swag is fly through the roof
A bop when I spit the fire in the booth
Credit 'cause I am the best emcee
Oh lord dear god Just flee fuck me!
Credit 'cause I am oh so original
You ain't the only bro that knows criminals
Don’t shout out my OG’s on the track
They’re way too serious for all of that crap
Mans that buy yard and yawnin' in Ghana
Might be gangstas but always were fathers
Can't rate man that is smuggling parada
'Cause you dem a struggle, it's dumb-fuck retarded
Few emcees have got the game twisted
Don’t be ashamed of earnin’ an honest living
How many fucked up 'cause our dad’s were in prison
And if they were around then there'd be less killing
And if you must die then die for the right cause
Die like a mutherfuckin man in the right war
Die like Toussaint, die like Dessaline
Die like Malcolm scheming on a better dream
Die for your family, die for your Kids home
Don’t die for a dumb block that you don’t own
I'm so cool playing the game
But I make my own rules
I'm so cool stay in your lane
Or you'll get took to school
I'm so cool playing the game
But I make my own rules
I'm so cool, so cool, so fucking cool
