[intro]
That "t" would help though
Here we go again
Yeah, check it out, yall
Check it out, check it out
Check it out yall, check it out yall
Straight y.o. mother fuckers
Now days cats and middleman, little man, aint controlling shit
Talk about holding bricks, but aint holding dick
Niggas talk real slick, but thats about it
Soon as I see em headed my way, I cut them off quick
Must you beat me in my head everytime I come through?
Its shit like, everybody tells me I sound just like you
But you got me, got me? and you cant live without me
If I wasnt dmx, you wouldnt give a fuck about me
Aint about "dog I wanna be just like you"
How about you wanting to be just like you?
You can do what I do, just in your own way
Shit, I get niggas that ride big every fuckin day (i-ight? )
If you got talent, talent is yours, it cant be mine
And it take you where its gon take you, itll be fine
Let me hit em with the rewind
Do you and Ill do me
To me youll see how real youll be
[1] - do you - cuz what it boils down to its true
Do you - cuz you are held accountable for you
Do you - is that really what you want me to see
Do you - cuz imma do me, truley
Do you - cuz what it boils down to, its true
Do you - cuz you are held accountable for you
Do you - is that really what you want me to see
Do you - cuz imma do me, truley
Hey yo dog, I got lyrics
Hey yo dog, I got beats (word)
Damn, is this the type of shit I gots to put up with in the streets?
Used to be able to walk, not have to talk to nobody
Everywhere I go its like I bring the whole party
It aint about tryin to follow or tryin to be like
But if we all see it through the eyes of the lord, we see a light (cmon)
Just let me get a hold of the mic, Ill teach you a little something
Now the good things that go wrong because of a little frontin
Express yourselves, be who you are, umm umm, youre a shining star
You dont even know what you got inside
How the fuck you gon find out, you keep wanting to ride
Hey yo, I aint gon let it slide no more
Youre best to go for what you know
Cant do you, then what you flow for
You aint gon get there tryin to be me, dog
Look through your eyes, see what you see
[repeat 1]
Like fuck it, you wanna be me? heres what you do
Grow up neglected by both parents and still pull through
You gots to come up fucked up, get treated like shit
Then have your mothers new boyfriend smack you like a bitch turn into a killer,
Dont carry shottie
Cuz the way its goin down right now, you gon kill somebody
Get a dog, walk the streets, learn what you need to learn
Better have a cause but because youll get burned
You got 15 years without ever coming out
And beat your fist at the world and what they talkin about
Then get locked up every two years
For two years keep it real, hold back all tears, face your fears
Become a man before your time, rap but live out your rhymes
Let em know whats on your mind, then youll get your shine
In time, everything you hear will come true
But you wont be doin me, youll be doin you
[repeat 1 until fade]
