Metta World Peace - Represented lyrics

rate me

You ever feel that rush runnin through your veins

The rush is the blood, the blood is the beat

Can’t be contained, the bones is the drums

The fingers the snare, the skin is the strings

Ribs is the guitar, itchin while I sing,

Itching whil I rap, foot is the kick

My tongue’s the auto tune violin

My brain is the mike, I be talking to myself

Cause I don’t know what I been saying, half of the time

I just be feeling in something weird, out of my mind

[Hook] x 2

See I come from a rough background

But I did it and represented, did it and represented

Did it and represented

For my, for my, for my home hood

For my, for my, for my home hood

Hood supero camino, chains with my k bone

From a baller to a rapper, rappin with my cape on

I been affected with this ...disease called passion

You can see it on my sleeve,

You could of hear when I’m rappin

Smellin when I’m sweatin

Or feel it when I’m cryin

If I don’t make music I’m probably dyin

And go back in the studio and breathe life in them

Make another track, that’s like vitamins for me

Nutrients be the thoughts, going through my brain

This the antidote for me, especially when it’s pain

[Hook] x 2

See I come from a rough background

But I did it and represented, did it and represented

Did it and represented

For my, for my, for my home hood

For my, for my, for my home hood

People ask me why I rap?

Yo, why you listenin to music?

Why you rap, why you don’t rap

Why you ballin you stupid?

Why you pop drop you on your head

Ask my questions

While my pop drop me on my head cause I’m real reckless

Have no choice but to discipline me

Beat my filthy ass and put a ... to me

But it made me a better man

I could be crazy like eminem’s fan, stan

Actually I feel like stan, cause I be wailing... like that kembo man

[Hook] x 2

See I come from a rough background

But I did it and represented, did it and represented

Did it and represented

For my, for my, for my home hood

For my, for my, for my home hood.
