Lyrics
yo
i never knew.
i thought i had it all figured out. and in the end it came back to me, and i knew nothing
:12
cause since the beginning, i always thought i was winning, but i failed to see, my success sitting there grinning, and plotting to leave me, b4 i even realized my dream, and now i run every verse though a double filtered microscreen.. searchin for realness, the texture is plain,. figuring out ways to be the greatest, can drive a man insane. i often call myself phree, but i'm a slave to the mic, and constantly forced to write songs that people might like. i want to break from this cell, and try to write for myself, but not many people, are feelin hip hop in itself. it's not the rap game, mainstream just aint the name, and i feel sorry for the people that think hip hop and rap are the same, oh aint it a shame, no one even knows the difference, cause we got fake names representing, and teachin the children, what's right is wrong, he said it on tv so it's real, so much thought lost, over the years becomin harder to feel.

i never knew it,yo, it could be like this
i never thought that, yo it would end up this way
i never knew it,yo, it could be like this
i never thought that, yo it would end up this way

to all my listeners, i might make it look easy, but so many nights i stayed writing, goin for days without sleepin. it's not as easy as it may seem, no matter what you see on tv, it's real work, to be prophesor phree, and dont think for one second, that you can do it just like me, u might be able to make it, but i have originality, everyone is different, in their very own right, from the way that they think, to the way that they write, and hold the mic, just listen pay ur dues and create, and the worst thing you can do, is wanna write and try to wait. the lyrics flow like ghosts, let em posess your soul, put on a beat grab a pen and let the track unfold, dont hold it back, unleash every thought that's in your head, make ur words potent and strong, pierce through flesh like hot lead. dont call it a rap game, cause you'll get caught up in fantasy, become mainstream, get dissed, and then you'll be mad at me.

i never knew it,yo, it could be like this

i never thought that, yo it would end up this way

yo, i'm not sayin i'm the greatest.. but i KNOW i'm not the worst. you people at home just dont know, how hard this really is. You have no idea till your lost in it. try to find yourself. be real at all times. prophesor phree, Definitions.
