Lyrics
Sucka, it's time to get your rhymes together now
Your lyrics have no substance, lighter than a feather now
Had your chance to impress but you blew it
Just watch and learn to how Joe do it
Searching my soul for a rhyme to come on up
Grab the rhyme and have it run on up
To and out through the lips
Rhyme'll shine on like an eclipse
From my feet to my finger-tips
Rhyme so clear it's defining
Get into the biz of rhyme designing
But be aware that once you get in there
Gotta kick it off every verse, come prepared
Staying on the top, but more like the tip
My positivity will never quit
No drugs don't drink, I keep my mind clear
Top of my game, so dopeness is all you hear
Being myself is the only way I know this
So all manufactured rappers take notice
Holding my position, making all these rappers wishing
They could compete, but thats hard to envision
Just cuz I grow stronger and I thrive on
I've got the knowledge to strive on
Girls, girls -- so many of them
So hot -- it's like they fresh from the oven
Bait me, date me, I've got no problems towards it
I'd make a song about you, Tone records it
I don't mean to be obvious or even blunt
But you're the girl of my dreams that I want
You may have been treated good, but I'll treat you better
Like Jodeci, I love the times we share together
To the wedding -- I'll bring 'ya
And put a diamond ring around your finger
So all the sophisticated females say "ow" for me
Group of Females: Ow!
And get in tune with my lyrical alchemy
My rhyme and flow gets stronger and stronger
As the song gets longer and longer
Thug rappers little nursery rhymes aren't helping
Scratch friction on the record has it melting
In a studio with a mic I come alive on
So let's all get together, come strive on
Pieces, pieces -- of the puzzle unite them
Get the formula down and delight them
I'll get them dancing making everything all right
I'll get on the microphone and entice them all night
Some'll see me as inferior at first sight
Their color blind all they see is black and white
Some emcees got bark, but lack dog bite
They can't get the formula down right
But I can multiply divide to their delight
I'm not a foolish rapper, nor a backpacker
Got abundance in rhymes, never a content lacker
Self-entrusted self-adjusted I got self-esteem
With a vocab list only one could dream
Jovial, like the word, is how you pronounce it
A jolly, good time we'll have, no need to announce it
You listen to my songs or you see me live
All comes clear to why on I strive
Some say I can do word play best
And I’ll use more samples than Kanye West
So open up the gates cuz I've arrived
Prepared to strive on -- told you I survived
The swing still ain't through
It's strived on past 92
So to all the lovers, it's like you've died and gone to heaven
New Jack Swings making a cameo in oh-seven
Oh I strive on
Like no one else
Oh I strive on
On
