4lyn - shelltoes and fatlaces
neon
Yo,i came a long way (belive that!),but still know where i started from
and where this art is comin�from...
the masters of ceremony
rule or cry! do or die! for the microphone...
and i was able to speak but not able to hold a mic
was able rhyme, not able to speak them lines right
but i waited for the day until the time was right
i wrote all night until then i kept it quiet (shhh)
there still too many talented mc�s unsigned
too many untalented muthafuckers on my mind
i get angry when a rookie steps up
with words that don�t make sense
tellin�me to get up...like this...
(you wanna battle? you wanna go against me?
i�m the best around as you can see..)
Oh,can�t you see that this is me??? (this is real!)
oh,can�t you feel that this is real???
First,pay dues to the old school and
respect the veterans or you will never be better
than the average rapper; take a look...
just because you can write doesn�t mean
that you can use a blakkbook (did you hear me?)
(but you love guitars...) - but i�m true to the game!
(what you do this for?)- yo, i do it for the fame!
(yo,i got mo�cash than you!)-than give me all you can!
but if you�re broke,ask juvinille (you understand?)
i don�t roll a benz i got a v-dove.
and all you hiphops get all my love
without you i wouldn�t be here (remember that?)
if not, check the song called "alina�
i don�t want to disrespect
don�t blame me if you miss respect
i just wanted to make one thing clear...(say what?)
my love for hiphop is the reason,why brasko�s still here
traditional mc-metaphors...is what i use
and why i�m gettin�applause
it�s not about videos,bitches or cars
it�s about understanding,so keep your creditcard
shhhhh...
Oh,can�t you see that this is me?
namebelts, kangols, blockparties and all that
oh,can�t you feel that this is real?
spraycans, fatcaps, wholecars- forever!
oh,can�t you see that this is me?
uprock,backflips, headspins and sixsteps
uh, can�t you feel that this is real?
shelltoes and our laces were fat!
