Going Off — текст песни (Bavu Blakes)

I get used to the trends then my style just blends
With contemporary rhythms and then you`re drawn in
Yawnin` at other folks who utter quotes the next man used
You`re not inspired impressed involved enthused
Instead lullabied by whatever they said
Insulted in fact `cause what was catapulted at you`s wack
By no other name so a brother came
To cut off them chains known as the same ol` same
So get loose `cause you`re able to walk again
Neck out of that nuisance emcee`s talk that`s awfully lame
Oughtta be plain lovin` it like government reparations
It`s about time, now how we gon` spend it
All that to say I`m neither co-dependent on nobody else`s tape
Nor ever disappointed as my verses take shape
Sore `cause this beat`s hittin`
I`m wrestlin` it with a pen in my hand
Eff it my effort got me winnin` again

(chorus x2)
It`s payin` off as I`m payin` dues you play it `cause I`m goin` off
Nobody got rhymes like voo`s they gon` be layin` off
Weak rappers left and right mouth wide open `cause the South came so tight

Unexpected to say the least
Nobody but a narcoleptic`s able to sleep
Eyes wide shut turntables flushed with heat
If raps were fat nuts how many bucks would I spend in a week
Just on sheets never heard of me, peep
I take a Stevie Wonder/Luther Vandross creep
To the studio and murder the beat
Look at the side of Ricky Williams` helmet is the fleur-de-lis neat
If so they let him tiptoe on the turf, how sweet
But as I run in the field
I expect a lot of shots at my head
And facemaskin` draggin` me `til I kneel
Just because of who I play for
From Texas with that flow
Need I even say more
The emcee you should pray for
Pay for to see live until the sound of beehives
Put me in a position to where you`re stickin` to me I`ve
Gotta be focused, not get too big for my Levi`s or cargos
I think I`m doing alright so far though

(Chorus)
