What I Am written by Sipho
for Naturally Dope Productions
Verse One:
My sleeplessness keeps me realer than most
random thoughts after dark got me tweakin for sure
Leakin for sure evilness it seeps from my core
until the shadows in my dark speak to me no more (I wake up)
What is the purpose of thoughts that reach the surface
are they there to disturb us or there to alert us
Or there to just curse us or there to just irk us
is it possible these thoughts are there to converts us
Now we search like google we try to calm our noodles
I dont mean to spook you listen if you choose to
Or do the opposite try not to rock to this
try not to hear the truth I be droppin kid
Emotions disappear quick like Mxyzptlk
when you think kltpzyxM your brain gets tricked
A black man struggle victim of the system
he cries out for help but nobody will listen
Now put into the position to survives stay alive
everything is real nice and smooth when your white
Fuck that cuz we all got issues
it has nothing to do with you life’s fucked up too
Millions of people in my city on my planet
make it billions when your thinkin globally and then you have it
A habit is something that you do with repetition
a habitat is where you do your eatin and your shittin
Hook:
What slum I'm from I'm from none
fuck those who hate in my circumference
Fuck those who speak with mouth open
with no heart that means no substance
I spit darts and flames I'm high octane
I rock beats and broads and I rock brains
Check the resume like a ref I'm official
a pissed dude aimin at your dome like a pistol
Verse two:
I'm squintin like bright lights is fuckin with my vision
I'm thinkin like a lawyer sittin at a deposition
I close one eye like I'm aimin with a trigger
and engage my rage with the strength of a gorilla
I'm know around the way as a sensitive nigga
Intelligent nigga but I'm just chill
I'm lookin for the truth like the "Hunt for Red October"
so red rover please sent the mutha fucka over
We need it in the west in the east all around the globe please
look at me I gots nothin up my sleeve
I'm standin in the middle like an NBA tip off
observe the absurd just trying to get lift off
Dont wanna be an emcee that sucks like a hicky
dont wanna be lost in the shuffle like Icky Wood
I muffle my trouble if I could double
raise up like a bubble hold tight like a buckle
I'd up up and away but I am a mere mortal
I'm not a voyager cuz I gots no fuckin portal to step through
So now its up to me to
make real heads twist and bob like R2D2
Your to stiff and slow C3PO
I move like Neo through the "Matrix" your thoughts are slow
And basic like a cheap cigarette I bet
my words bang ya hard like slugs to your chest
Hook:
What slum I'm from I'm from none
fuck those who hate in my circumference
Fuck those who speak with mouth open
with no heart that means no substance
I spit darts and flames I'm high octane
I rock beats and broads and I rock brains
Check the resume like a ref I'm official
a pissed dude aimin at your dome like a pistol
Verse Three:
I leave minds twisted like small intestines
your attitude and position stick it up your rectum
Muscle men in gym in the mirror flexin
teachers teach in the schools givin kids their lessons
Politicians preachin using words as weapons
preachers politicin do you need a blessing
Am I going to heaven are we close to Armageddon
Will Bin Ladin pay for our 911
Hook:
What slum I'm from I'm from none
fuck those who hate in my circumference
Fuck those who speak with mouth open
with no heart that means no substance
I spit darts and flames I'm high octane
I rock beats and broads and I rock brains
Check the resume like a ref I'm official
a pissed dude aimin at your dome like a pistol
