Lyrics
Fuck being normal, unlike the rest of them I've got my own shit
My lyrics are so far out sometimes it makes me homesick
I see too many red boys but no they never own this
Trying to squat in hip hop but the real will make them homeless
'Cause they're the wrong side of the
Tracks and there's no trains coming
They don't know fuck all but they're loving to explain something
I see your brain thumping, pumping the negative thoughts
Scared to admit someone else has got some better shit
You need to get a hit, you need to make a club banger
Nah, we tighten raw hip hop with a rusty spanner
And the anacondas we can see you slithering
The circle of respect isn't something that you're living in
You're giving in to temptation, why you hating?
Let the good times flow but you've got some constipation
Money makers to crew breakers and every hater
I say goodbye, I hope I don't see you later
You can carry on and hate me
You were never meant to rate me
This is real here, don't mistake me, you can't change me
Take your best shot, you won't break me
You can carry on and hate me
You were never meant to rate me
This is real here, don't mistake me, you can't change me
Take your best shot, you won't break me
Yeah, catch me in Harlem, bottle of gin, smoking some hash
Mind roaming to some Ethiopian jazz
This is freedom in the form of opening pads
Writing my soul on the page, some focus is cash
Rappers nowadays diss quick, holding the bag
That could never beat me even if I'm holding my last
I'll invest and rearrange, the best is never tamed
Fuck with me, you'd rather go blind boy like Etta James
Forever Kane, forever Pun, forever Big
I never give in or up, I never did
I was cut from heaven's rib, a cloth of a certain jib
You can't fuck with me dog, lost cause, it's the Kid
Even though I'm 30 going on 31
It's still big blunts, bad bitches and dirty guns
West Philly, South Philly, North Philly, you heard we run
Yeah we bust quick like the first to come and I'm done, one
You can carry on and hate me
You were never meant to rate me
This is real here, don't mistake me, you can't change me
Take your best shot, you won't break me
You can carry on and hate me
You were never meant to rate me
This is real here, don't mistake me, you can't change me
Take your best shot, you won't break me
Ayo, different face, same case, I guess that they never knew
That he won't accomplish all that shit that he said he'll do
'Cause he's too concerned with hating people in his own crew
Or the point of view of anybody trying to break through
By the time it takes you to hate on everything you see
You'll realise your time's gone, it wasn't meant to be
Deep down I know that you thought it was your destiny
But real skills are earned, that ego comes free
I don't want that to be me so I stay with an open mind
Like a surgeon with a scalpel opening this skull of mine
When I find people fronting on the cover that I've got
You see they never flicked the page or even read the plot
This could never stop, these are well known facts
Nobody would be safe if it wasn't for the twats
The most important thing in my lifetime looking back
Was learning how to be myself, fuck learning how to act
You can carry on and hate me
You were never meant to rate me
This is real here, don't mistake me, you can't change me
Take your best shot, you won't break me
You can carry on and hate me
You were never meant to rate me
This is real here, don't mistake me, you can't change me
Take your best shot, you won't break me
