Genius - Phony as Ya Wanna Be lyrics

rate me

When I hold a mic in my handit's devotion

Then I began flowing in a smooth steady motion

Cause i'mcontended to know that I've invented

Poetry which has been highly complimented

Thus how I rhyme is what I feel on stage

And from a fraction of a thought I can write a whole page

I'll just pull a notebook from off the shelf

And like salt-n-pepa I express myself

To make most of you know meand some of you don't

But when it comes to cold challengingI bet none of you won't

Arrange a battleimprove your style

Against a brother with a totally different profile

Most of you flake cold front ya flex

And hesitate on rhymes that should've been memorex

But you forgot I remember you're an amateur

Mystery worshippernowi prefer

Thati remind you or tease ya on who's the boss

Cause you suffer amnesiathat's memory loss

Well get this just as quiet as it's kept

Mc's on the chart from teh start has slept

Let's shake themwake themthey should be woke

For what? they take mc'ing for a practical joke

You don't have what it takes to be an mc

Ya just as phony as ya wanna be

You present yourself to be the quiet storm

You're a sneaky littlesnake in a devilish form

But as they sayyoto each it's own

And to each one who plays with a microphone

Abbreviate microphone and m.i.c.

Meaning whatmyselfiyou see

I invite those to battle me then they're through

Bust iti'mnot prejudiced you're invited too

The rap convention or the mc show

I have rhymes to block those who hit below

The beltthat means biting a rhyme

YesI'll wax youtax you and plus save time

Now who is known to uphold his own

And words are heard like a strong baritone

Freestyle techniques that's wild and bold

That'll smile in your face and still come so cold

That I'll freeze you to the point of non-defrost

Now you're trapped in the land of the lost

Should icould iwould I lose

When it's a selfish sore loser like you I choose

To roll your big eyes and suck your buck teeth

Because you're upset that you ever caused beef

Yo homeboyI never meant to tease

But it's a slaughtercan someone help him please

Feeling uncomfortablethen loosen your belt

Once the genius gets heated upsuckers will melt

Then after ya meltya start dripping like water

Then you can say this was a goddamn slaughter

You don't have what it takes to be an mc

Ya just phony as ya wanna be

Ain't no rhymes like the one I got

They put competitors in a trancey'all

Radio stations ran them a lot

They made children play and dance y'all

How dare ya mention you're an mc

When the crowd disagrees on who claim to be

Cause your battle piece are the rhymes you release

And that only make the crowd boos increase

Heymay I say I'll stay a dj

Mc who try to defeat me or portray

One who claims he gain much respect

But in a battlestraight up and down ya getting wrecked

Cauise getting with me is definitely a slaughter

Or diving in a pool head first without water

So don't set yourself up to get brutalized

That only happens when you're not energized

Bit I'm so damn energizedI'm energetic

That I can wreck a microphone 'til it's pathetic

Okagot it in your headcorrect

That I'm victoriouson any subect

You disbelievethen huhcall the title

Then after one rhyme you'll be calling me your idol

It's like..zap...another one on my jock strap

Now you walk around praising my name

Cause I'm slamming and I make you feel the pain

You don't have what it takes to be an mc

Ya just phony as ya wanna be
