Ladies and gentlemen. Second Thoughts on the beat. Big up to Lace Cadence. Good lookin' out for this one, man. . I love hip hop music. I just hate the ego.
When I was 17 I was staying in NYC. And my homie told me where I could get a fake Id. "Aiyo son you better get that shit when you in NY". So I hopped on the subway and I gave it a try.
I went to the moped store, said "Fuck it". Salesman's like "What up, what's your budget?". And I'm like "Honestly, I don't know nothing about mopeds".
I challenge you to a dance off. Hands off, no trash talk, no back walk. On the black top, just me, you, that's all. No cat calls, no tag teams, no mascots.
And we drink and get older. And some of us even try to get sober. Now here's to the assholes and the last calls. Well, city kids, you get what you ask for.
The other day, me 'n' XP opened for Souls Mischief. I'm like "Yo, let's get on some angry MC showmanship and hit 'em". Even a couple dissin' women callin' 'em "groupies", "hoes" and "bitches".
Life moves pretty fast,. You don't stop and look around once awhile you could miss it.. Look, I've been away from my city, the city's changes aint pretty.
[Verse 1: Macklemore]. Moms and pops, they used to take us to church. Saying "If you don't believe, then the prayin' don't work". With the beatbox I got free on the pavement, I'm first.
Unicorns and wizard sleeves. Hammer pants and make believe. Pirate ships sailing off to sea. Well you can party with me in my. Castle, in my castle, in my castle, in my castle.
Hello Americans. My name is George Bush, and I'm goin' to do a rap for ya'll. Check it out. . Bitch I'm from Texas. We're homophobic and sexist. And if these Mexicans keep comin in I'm a dismember em.
I used to work at Subway. Seven bucks an hour wasn't much money. But I be rapping and kicking it on my lunch break. Like "I'mma make it out this motherfucker one day".
Slick shit man that's all we do hoe. That little homie let me talk my truth. Made an Instagram for my cat. And my cat doesn't even rap. And got more followers than you.
I never won the spelling bee. I could read people's energy. Listen to what have been said to me. Heard the voices in elementary. That I wouldn't amount to anything.
I put my life on the line. I roll them dice and I'm fine. Cause all I ever dreamt about was makin' it. They ain't giving it, I'm taking it. . I'm taking it, taking it, They ain't giving it.
Ladies and Gentlemans. This an ode to the b-boy, b-girls,. the people out there who do it for the love. and belive me i'm not dissin' anybody out there who's trying to get paid,.
Door Bell Rings. . I walked in with a pimp strut. ... "What up?". Door man's like, "You on the list?". I'm like, "Shiiii.... I should be there... like after the L's".
As soon as I wake up. I'm going to change my ways. Because the music's my savior. And no one can take my pain. Except for this paper. The page flows like rain.
How y'all doing there, folks?. My name is Aberdeen Washington. And I'm a proud American. And a terrorist fighter. That's right. . Hey get me another beer bitch.
And we danced. And we cried. And we laughed. And had a really, really, really good time. Take my hand, let's have a blast. And remember this moment for the rest of our lives.
I need love. You need love. Give me love. And I'll give you my love. . They say thirty is the new twenty. And twenty is the new thirty shit I guess. Makes sense, cause fifteen year olds seem twenty.
