ransom - Somewhere In America lyrics

rate me

Oh, 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!
