Lyrics
well writing rhymes is like a science, and I'm the mad scientist
clenching my fist when I rhyme with no lisp
I'm the mad magnificent, terrific individual
iller than ill, nuff skill and I'll bid you all
a warm welcome to the next part of the game
its a shame that lame shit gets made in hip-hop name
but i'm down to change all that, treat beats like a lab rat
have cats dancing like spackers on a fuckin dance mat
a few cats asked me if I'd ever go pop
Well if its all the same you, I'd really rather not
i want the last remaining bit of my soul that ain't exposed
to be buried in my verse, and wrapped up deep in my prose
to make a song thats just for the charts ain't my way
My name ain't playstation - I don't play
i don't moan, i just get in the zone and grab the microphone
dig deep to find my verbals like a dog with a bone
when i was young I started out rhyming just for fun
but now i'm older and wiser and I be droppin albums
It may be quite bizarre to relatives of mine
why a relative of theirs spends so much time on rhymes
but they don't understand how deep this music does affect me
and even if they say they understand, they don't respect me
my mum used to say raps a phase Im going through
this was when i blasted Marley Marl productions from the living room
years later nothing really changed but the date
the only difference nowadays is theres more MCs I hate
because in search for the money they just repeating whats been done
how many times a year d'you hear original albums?
not many, cos now its just all guns and bling
and to cap it off, more and more rappers try and sing
fuck that, destroying hip hop and they're playing their part
they say they keepin it real but they don't speak from the heart
they just collect the money, park their bentley up and bank it
while i'm wrapped up in this culture like a comfort blanket
i don't want money, just want to make my music
its my life, I get no options, I didn't get to choose it
i'll never go, thats for real, i'm staying
just as long as hip-hop around the worlds still playing
i used to be bothered if people liked my rhymes
tried to copy other rappers techniques and styles
but eventually, I opened my eyes and could see
that the only one I'm makin music for is me
It just happens that others feel the things that I'm relaying
they can see beyond the average, dig the things I'm saying
I can brag with the best but if the truth be told
I'll still be rocking the mic when I'm really old
I hear about MCs retiring...what the fuck?
to me that says they don't really love this stuff
their heart ain't in it, they see it as a career
they lied to every single fan in here!
we've been hoodwinked, we've been jacked!
i'm glad they going hope the fuckers never come back
and leave hip-hop to the people who care
the folks who really make a difference to this shit in here
make a million then you fuck off? thats fine by me
just don't consider you as a real MC
they say they're past it, they reached the end of the page
but look at jazz, blues and reggae artists reachin old age
if you love the music, it'll never stop motivating
whether you are underground or got a superstar rating
or if ya sitting in ya bedroom writing rhymes with a bic
the thought about retirin, I ain't havin it
cos its integral to the mindstate of a hip-hop head
if this music was food, i gotta keep gettin fed
others collect the money, park their bentley up and bank it
while i'm wrapped up in this culture like a comfort blanket
i don't want money, just want to make my music
its my life, I get no options, i didn't get to choose it
