[Akrobatik]
Yo, one one time, I was, I was talkin to my man
My man Beatbox Prince right?
He was explain this situ-this situation that he was in
And he was like, Yo Ak, if I don`t
if I don`t handle this situation right here, I lose.
And I thought about that
Cause yo, I ain`t tryin to lose, check this out
Aiyyo 5 A.M., still wide awake
Can`t sleep a wink I`m contemplatin moves to make
Daily situations got me in a effed up state
I need to overcome the stress and hold my own weight
I wonder how many of y`all truly know the pain
of a ghetto superstar who can`t afford to ride the train
Fifty million things is goin on inside my brain
but yet and still heads say I`m gassed if I slip and forget they name
Workin forty hours puttin up with bull{shit}
When my label stressin me to stay consistant with lyrics
It`s pressure but realistically this here could solve my problems
and enhance my wins column, but one thing
If my lyrics ain`t tight, I lose
Don`t blaze the set all night, I lose
Can`t maintain and pay dues, I lose
And yo I ain`t tryin to lose (uh-uh, never catchin L`s)
Fame, glamour and glitz
It`s time to start savin, and buildin on some grown man {shit}
Yo, I need to see The Light like Pharoahe and Common
and get off this diet of greasy-{ass} pizza and ramen
So I keep my music tight, and stay on the playlist
Not because I`m gleamin simply cause I`m bein creative
And I can`t front, it`s easy to make a joint from the heart
when every single {fuckin} thing around you`s fallin apart
So as the record spins, my trance begins
I grab the bull by the horns and the shark by the fins
When Kris, Rakim, and Chuck was speakin I was listenin
So let this rebel`s Lyrics of Fury enter your skin
[Hook]
If the lyrics ain`t tight, I lose
Don`t blaze the set all night, I lose
Can`t maintain and pay dues, I lose
And yo I ain`t tryin to lose
I refuse to take a L..
I can`t take no L..
Don`t need to take a L..
Yo Akro refuse to take a L..
(yo yo, no I ain`t tryin to lose)
[Akrobatik]
Reachin daybreak, you never know how long that may take
But I know it will take longer with too many mistakes
Earth be on my back like don`t depend on rap
Son it ain`t guaranteed so watch how much you spend on that
And I`m bright yo, I wanna go to school, and back that up
But I owe my school grands and yo they don`t give a {fuck}
So now it`s time for go for delf I`m hittin the road
and stackin papers makin the name Akrobatik explode
So, don`t be upset when I come to your town
And tear the walls down with sound cause we all gon` get down
I`m comin out the blocks to win (win win)
And drop gems that`s refreshin like oxygen (gen)
So any obstacle or impediment
I treat it as a test to just how strong I represent self
I won`t chase wealth but make moves that lead to it
I ain`t tryin to reminisce on how I blew it, yo
[Hook]
And if the lyrics ain`t tight, I lose
Don`t blaze the set all night, I lose
Can`t maintain and pay dues, I lose
And yo I ain`t tryin to lose
I refuse to take a L..
Don`t need to take a L..
Yo I can`t take no L..
Yo yo, and I ain`t tryin to lose L..
{*cut and scratched: cause I`m in it to win*}
[Dialogue from The Devil`s Advocate: Al Pacino, Keanu Reeves]
What did I say to you? WHAT WERE MY WORDS TO YOU?
Maybe it was your time to lose. You didn`t think so. -> Al
Lose?! I DON`T LOSE!! I`LL WIN! I`LL WIN!
THAT`S MY JOB, THAT`S WHAT I DO!! -> K.R.
