EVERLAST - Syndicate Soldier lyrics

rate me

Here we are, my friend.<br>Once again<br>I'm inclined to rhyme one time.<br>So won't you lend me your ear? <br>Cuz it's clear<br>That this here has no pain<br>If this song was the blues you'd be sheddin a tear<br>Like a baby<br>Maybe<br>Is shoulda held back.<br>Some of you look shocked<br>I guess you couldn't tell that<br>I was here to drop knowledge<br>College is irrelevant<br>My next move,<br>To prove I'm smooth but still intelligent<br>Expressing<br>Lessons with sheer precision<br>First hear me out then make a decision<br>On whether everlast knows what time it is.<br>Does this song belong in the rhyming biz? <br>Yes, I think so, cuz I'm a pioneer<br>Blazing the trail across a new frontier.<br>I'm growing lengths of growing stregth as I get older.<br>Cuz I'm a syndicate soldier.<br><br>All affections left behind,<br>There's two more gears to grind.<br>Before I'm through,<br>I'm sure that you will find<br>A new respect for the rhymes I inject.<br>Through your eardrum,<br>Don't play dumb<br>Just let me get to the point of my address<br>Unless you feel you can't go.<br>This song is on the tables to make you dance, so<br>Get up, and if you don't, leave the premises<br>I'm rula-ku so you can call me a genesis.<br>Born to perform and please a large crowd<br>Of people at night and to my right is el-o<br>The scale is brother,<br>Known for being treacherous<br>A sucker made a move and that's the reason<br>Fletcher was forced to put his head out<br>He got too close to me,<br>Two by my side<br>And that's that's how it's supposed to be.<br>These are my brothers,<br>And they've been around me<br>Since back in the days when the syndicate found me.<br>They are the people deserving of credit.<br>List my name, gained fame, and made sure I wouldn't let it<br>Go to my head<br>Instead<br>I keep my feet down<br>Unlike sucker's from the past I beat down.<br>The fatal mistake was to break on my confidence<br>Overall, their fall was due to overconfidence.<br>As we go, the ego's<br>All start acting up<br>With statements<br>Of greatness, the rhymes aren't backing up.<br>Talking louder as they get bolder,<br>But there's no defense<br>Against a syndicate soldier.<br><br>As we reach the final stage,<br>Something got engaged,<br>In a conflict,<br>That's sick with violent rage.<br>I gained fame,<br>From my name, everlast.<br>How long can this hype about a devil last? <br>A star was formed, but everyone took it serious.<br>Now it's seems, I'm seen as delirious.<br>That's okay, I'll stay under rated.<br>And good things will come to all who have waited.<br>For the brother of a lighter skin to begin<br>Droppin' knowledge with weight,<br>Cuz you rate paper thins.<br>Science is one thing, knowledge is another.<br>What do I mean when I say that I'm a brother? <br>Being a brother is a state of mind<br>For all those who chose to remain unblind.<br>Growing wisdom as I get older.<br>That's right I'm white and I'm a syndicate soldier
