ransom - Somewhere In America lyrics
rate meOh, let’s go! Aha!
I came in with some blind eyes in search of a fine prize
Every dog has its day, but they build for them nine lives
I guess I’m a different cat, and that’s how I define pride
I’m stressing and thinking back to them days that my moms cried
I’ve taken some fine stripes.
Call me Ace Hood, for them niggas that like to watch
I’mma show ‘em that time flies.
No regrets, I ain’t got no regrets
I chose the dead beats like a father with no respect
And a heart in a soldier’s chest. Yes!
You won’t find gold, less tainted by dollar sings
Champagne and some fine hoes,
Why bother to know the steps, if you came with your eyes closed?
Why? The hell if I know, ya niggas could die slow
Yeah, Picasso when it comes to a hot flow
I paint pictures on a concrete pavement and part holes.
Yes, Sir! No more games, see how I explore pain
They say I’m a rap star, just chose to ignore fame.
My minister’s ordain, spitting, I.. flame
Get rid of your chess piece like I’m playing a board game.
Black! Check mate everytime that I flex weight
Used to record 89.9 on cassette tapes.
Wait! All of a sudden, I’m showing you my…
They say I’m the last rapper that gave a shit!
But fuck it, I’m here! Nobody gave me shit
Grown man, fuck all these artists, you’ve gotta babysit!
Damn! What you’re reading won’t make my baby shit
The same things that can make you rich, can make you sick
I’m fighting back to same daemons that got master flip
Always been a rebel, how could you ever relate to this?
Aha, they’re living in a fantasy
So let them spread rumors and try to slender me
But there’s only one nigga that has the chance to be
The greatest rapper alive, that’s what I plan to be!
Who tells the truth the best? Who?
They killed pop, now look what they’re trying to do to it!
Open up the eyes, world!
They don’t want a real nigga, they want the prize, world!
Surprise, girl! You ain’t know I’m the greatest rapper alive, girl
I know this world is hard, try not to cry, girl
Hope you’re feeling my pain, welcome to my world!
