I wanna abandon all ideas about being famous / I wanna wake up everyday with the urge to be nameless / So I can tame this and contain this idea that I need fame to make a name in this game / Forget fame / you don't know me and you never will / fame is just another way to pay the bills / I don't wanna be famous / I wanna be a memory / coz fame is fifteen minutes / I wanna be legendary / talk about me every year / coz I removed my tongue and I replaced it with your ear / so you would hear as I would speak as I would say / and I say more cats should talk my way / walk my way and we can move as one / we can share the shade when we run from the sun It's so simplistic it's a new type of cryptic / I speak a slanguage that's understood by those who flipped it / the ones who use tongues to kick lines that split lips / sharp like quick minds or blades on a cheap bic razor / we raise the stakes whenever we play a / game against the same lame pimps and players / the ones who wanna be like rob d and al p / tryna live their lives like the godfather trilogy / slaves to the TV / support my industry / we plan with spray cans and grammatical strategies / for damaging the wack kids with the see through tactics / I'd rather dance like I'm spastic then live like I'm plastic That's why we act drastic when it comes to dropping phat shhh.../ See we stinking up the stage with a funk that's fantastic / I know we're at the top of the pile coz we stacked it / We're gonna break the mould coz we coming to crack it / I'm a soldier from an army that works without violence / loud and proud / even when we stand in silence / I'm a soldier that steps to the sound of the drum / keeping time with "I rhyme" from a pen not a gun / coz I be more deadly with a head full of these theories / my enemies question until everyone believes in my leadership abilities without deceased bodies / I still win / The captain of a real team / soldier on his knees fighting mental disease inflicted by the forces of cash companies to squeeze the last drops from the arteries of fellow human beings feeling similar insecurities / I'm all about the now till I'm down in global history / I'm a soldier protected by the guarantee of destiny / My name spells infinity in my vocabulary / I'll be blaring prophecies for eternity with ease Forget fame / you don't know me and you never will / fame is just another way to pay the bills / I don't wanna be famous / I wanna be a memory / coz fame is fifteen minutes / I wanna be legendary / talk about me every year / coz I removed my tongue and I replaced it with your ear / so you would hear as I would speak as I would say / and I say more cats should talk my way / walk my way and we can move as one / we can share the shade when we run from the sun I'm all about the now till I'm down in global history / My name spells infinity in my vocabulary / I'm a soldier protected by the guarantee of destiny / I'll be blaring prophecies for eternity with ease

Scratch my name on the track / box my body with the beat / step my sole in the street to keep it whole and complete / put the cap in the caption on the image if my action / use my whole hand to slap skin / pound with a fellow slang slinger my full fist of five fingers / yes I let the sting linger / keep it loose like my kit when my tongue spit some sense / fuck the cents / gimme some change / let the hustle commence / stand up to break it down like come do the logic / do the maths do the wisdom like come do the knowledge / don't slow the flow / find a path / stick to it / put the truth into it and keep the truth fluid / when the questions asked at the end of days / who amazed men and which men were amazed / choose to be the subject of the songs that they sing / in truth the thing to do is just do your thing Do your thing / just do your thing Fresh like the juice is straight from the bottle / chill to cool off the heat from off the throttle / steam rises / no surprises / from the diction / tongue come with some friction / my depiction of daily state of affairs / non-fiction / fact with some extra flares / acting like who cares but somebody does / like no-one was listening / somebody was / now all of them someone's become my everyone / so everyone throw up your hand like a gun / lick off a shot for a talented tongue / blam blam blam / come get some / bounce everyone like the floors sprung / breathe in breathe out like you're one big lung / no harm no alarm let the bell ring / in truth the thing to do is just do your thing Do your thing / just do your thing

Don't play 05:38
I could take ya to Jamaica right now / hit you with a high state of mind like Wow / with my diplomatic antics / a frantic romantic / trying to pull the pleasure from the panic / yes the most manic / when it comes to sparking a light / spotting a mic / rocking it right / ye quite right / I might be kind of stuck on the kick of the drum / addicted to the rhythm and the flick of my tongue / but its better then a focus on the funds and guns / I represent the ones / all the daughters and sons / come to manufacture meaning when the music comes / I want the whole cookie man forget the crumbs / see the weak heart runs from the stage each time that a rapper put the truth in the rhyme / and I'm primed with a kick in my chest and a hat on my mind / I wear the snare like my style is fine / divine This way / that way (x3) That's exactly how I roll when I stroll See me sway stepping This way / that way (x3) The boy likes games but the man don't play See the floor catch jaws from the contemplation / when I hit that click track conversation / I predict that future like a constellation / that the music never could cause consternation / if you're in it for definitive mic dictation / in a minute I'll be killing it with pure elation / together we be tapping toes and nodding the cranium / superstar avatar with the unobtanium / priceless products'll be in my nature / flex with the force like the guys a Jedi / first to promote and the last to hate ya / but I will hit a chuckle like I roll with a red eye / dead eye dick for the hard target coz I take time I take aim and then let rip / with a quip or a joke or a sometime serious / on a quest to remain mysterious / leave them curious This way / that way (x3) That's exactly how I roll when I stroll See me sway stepping This way / that way (x3) The boy likes games but the man don't play
