Turn me up some. This is real hip hop music yo. Yo yo
Verse 1
In the beginning was the word and God said let there be light/ so Zuby picked up a pencil and I started to write/ and God saw that it was good/ he heard it was tight/ so despite outstanding facts the kids been blessed all his life/ The father sent me down a flow/ so Im spritually lifted with a pen and a pad/ yes Im lyrically gifted/ too intelligent for ignorance not arrogant or militant aint speaking blasphemy/ but Im the saviour in the flesh (yes!)/ rain down on emcees with verbal precipitation I dont front just keep it positive/ a message for the nations rhymin steady growin daily/ the kid is living proof (uh huh) a 180 from the game but keep it knockin out the vocal booth/ heavy drum kicks I stay grindin like the Clipse without bricks or hot whips they know that its a top script/ yo Im climbing all the time/ but I know I aint peaked yet til I drop a verse the next day it leaks on the net (chyea)/ I dont need to play it gangster to be credible/ nah, just say that Im incredible gimme my props/ its been said the kid is hot/ its been said he cant be stopped/ oh no the bad mans gunnin number one spot
CHORUS
Tell me why we try/
Tell me why we die/
Tell me why its all over in the blink of an eye/
Tell me why all the fakin wheres the love all the hatin
Before I die Ima fly I been patiently waitin
Verse 2
Yo I love hip hop but wont the drama ever stop before another gets dropped learn from Biggie and Pac/ yo I wanna be a legend but I wanna happy ending not be laid out in white chalk examined by the cops (nah)/ I live a different life so I got different views/ but is being broke in the past really such a good excuse? The kids are listening to you/ the kids are mimicking u/ damn they know like every rap but theyre failing in schools/ Im not tryin to preach to u/ Im just tryin to get this through/ yo head it aint dead needs intelligent dudes (yup)/ yeah I know I went to public school but dont change the subject fool sit yourself down/ and Ill tell u whats cool/ guns no Zuby yes drugs no success yes yo Im tryin to be the best no one can stand in my way/ and follow me and dont stray/ cuz Im tryin to kill the cliché every black man is a thug if thats the image we portray
Get my degree cop a deal get my hits cop a mil/
Spend a bit save a lot and give back to the world/
Cuz what good is it to me if I rock expensive jewellery but dont make life better for these little boys and girls?
CHORUS
Verse 3
Yo I know Im still young but got a lot on my mind/ they never know what Im thinkin wonder where I get my rhymes/ wonder if Im gonna make it whens it my time to shine?/ whens it gonna be my name on the posters and signs?/ to the people that hate life its a beautiful thing/ they always try to hold u down/ but keep doing your thing/ if I want it then Ill make it so I follow my dreams/ cuz I wanna make a difference aint just thinkin bout me (not at all)/ Im a priveleged kid yo/ just stating the facts/ so u can get a better picture see it clearly like contacts/ and understand my feelings once u know where my hearts at/ Im aiming past the sky so I can chill where the stars at/ aint talkin bout those cats rockin stupid Von Dutch hats (ha ha)/ Im talkin bout the place where the lates and the greats at/ not down the hot place where the snakes and the fakes at/ worlds mine for the taking Im gonna make a impact/ believe that homie/ I said Im gonna make a impact and spit raps bars up and down like a gym rat/ when Im gone will u miss me/ be wishin I came back will I be a great memory or will it just fade black?
CHORUS (x2)
Tell me why we try/ tell me why we try/ tell me why we try/ tell me why we die/ tell me why we try/ tell me why we die
