Tha Soloist - Words lyrics
rate meNow you bout to know big gorks eat cause
I’ve been hip hop before biz did vapors
Back when there was only 2 types of rolling papers
And I cut and pasted all the magazine pages
Up on the wall where we also tagged it
For a little bit of practice for the nights we get ratchet
Before that expression never sole in the jackets
Hoppin roof tops so the cops couldn’t catch us
Setting writer’s batch, putting poems in the black
Doing it for the love, not just to get that work
This was way before all the internet passwords
When rappers used to wrap shows with dj’s and chances
On the courts of street corners, breakers and boxers
Hip hop was the only thing to keep us from clockers
Ain’t relate to rockers with the make up and long hair
We rock mikes just check out this strong here
Music has a funny way of motivating listeners
Those that face the prison of, living will envision the
Written down we spitting up, so think of simply giving up
But when I pick the pen up, you gotta get up
Fed up with the artificial tracks they be giving us
Think of us is weak but when an emcee speak
He beef enough the people with the paragraphs
Before doing head to mask, you consume in the after math
Years after years in my room, I would grab the pad
The pen was my best friend, put my trust in him
Impregnate mikes when I bust in em
Words are born, leaving emcees torn
Form from a south pole, raw like an outlaw
Forefathers in the game make classics
Raise purple taste special guest ghostface
Your average is too simple to be listenin
Never solved the riddles and the rhymes that we giving em
They missing the point, my pen’s too mighty
Every joint come joint, see the joint, start writing
To walk a mile in my shoes loose balance
Fall till your death, y’all act true talent
Back in the days I would blaze on ciphers
Amaze all critics when the gods spit lyrics
Those that were present witnessed the legend.
