Story behind the song
Once I found myself after a certain amount of time, I knew that I had to keep doing what I had to do, and not become someone else....
Lyrics
Open me up, see what you can find, It's ridiculous what you got, compared to my mind, In due time, you'll start writin' up my rhymes, So why are you tryin' to bite all these lines, Sometimes, you've got to be you for you, Get that straight, or are you still confused, I've swallowed my pride and I've paid my dues, But you have no signs or clues, To see what I do, I break peoples ankles and knees, Should you sea-walk to this or just freeze, If I had it my way, it would be up to me, And be the toll road, so you better pay you're fee, Read the wring on the wall, it's the rise and fall, 'Cause you don't have me, I'm already gone, So you listen to this like any other song, And try to hold your own, but not for long... (Chorus 2x) Take it from me, you don't want me, Listen to me, and then you'll see, Why you can't be anything that you can be, Just hold your own, or you won't be free... To keep yourself company, you shouldn't have anybody, To push you to become somebody, Anything is possible, like if you stayed logical, You wouldn't lose yourself, even if you lost it all, The miraculous mistakes that you will make, Will ake you think you're real, I know you're fake, Don't take me for granted, my life was handed, To me, so that is why I'm not tainted, With bulls--- and lies, forget your disguise, That you have to wear, under unfriendly skies, Under my demise, it won't end well, But I don't want to see your life goin' to hell, I can plan it for you, if you really want it, 'Cause in life's web, the spider will continue to spin it, I left the world for a minute, let it be known, That you will die, if you don't hold your own... (Chorus 2x) Trust me, I never had nothin', But I'm holdin' grudges if you continue hatin', Thinkin' I can't rap, 'cause I got my own style, Why don't you stand up and handle the trial, Bet you will lose your cool, 'cause you think you're slick, When I give you bad crit, and you suck mad d---, Just quit, I bet you can't compete, 'Cause no other brotha is even better than me, When it comes to common sense, I got you beat, So continue talkin' bad about me out on the street, Mad heat is what I'm spittin', the game is not fittin', You, I think your not figurin', Out who I am, you try to play me, just bite me, How do I taste, you h---? Don't try to find me, Hate me, your pain won't even be sewn, I won't end soon, if you don't hold your own... (Chorus out)
