Sum Shit I Wrote Lyrics

    Marks i erase like racism, i'm as large as a bigot
    Groove is my escapism, when i'm bubbly i just kick it
    What i need from you is understanding that i'm standing
    On my own two, down with my own crew
    Toe cancer, i'm bad to the bone too, i'm prone to snap off
    When i'm off that cognac i can't hold back like a massouse
    I get loose like a screw turned from left right to tight
    When it's time for some action i get red's "tonight's da night"
    An eye for an eye, a life for his wife
    Dissected i'm on some hi-tech shit computers want to bite
    Your style is pascal, mine is basic and just instinct
    I'm with the fam and ran scams, me and murray got up on big links
    And if knowledge is the key, goddammit i'm the locksmith
    Started a missionary way on my life, the mic i rust like bostage
    I switch styles like a channel with controls that are remote
    Engage in a page, and with words i elope
    Walking down the aisles with styles i freak the viles
    Anti-nazi when i rocks like a z-28
    At any rate, brothers gain interest because i loaned them microphones
    They couldn't house the shit so they had to rent to own
    It's like that, coming from the go rapper
    I wanna bone jada pinkett and that hoe patra
    So keep on, and you don't, now come on
    Ah keep on, and you don't

    Sometime when i'm alone in my room i stare at the wall
    And in the back of my mind i hear a wack-ass rhyme
    And i catch alz-rhymers, then forget it, i get charged
    Like a nigga in position with the stolen card the credit
    Fuck flipping the script, the rap scene i'm trying to edit
    My mellows call me "never", they be like "never's going to get it"
    Never's too much, i'm much too, i do justice to poetics
    That's why cats be like "fuck you, fuck you, fuck you!"
    Other studs come through to see what i am up to
    They be on the dick of crew that be giving us sweet and buying us fruit
    Like kareem i got the hook up, brothers look out because they look
    Rest in peace to ?heavena?, washing tons of rappers like booker
    Tee told me "you gotta get out of the crib, get into the world"
    How you going to come off with the style that's thourough?
    It's like that, keep on, ha ha
    It's like that, keep on

    My foundation is in black block of niggas that rock they hat cock
    I'm real like a fight with my rap, rappers i slapbox
    Back i got my rap, now get your glock out the black face
    Got tall flavor with fat taste, the rat race is a rat race
    Just cause you got adidas with the fat laces and the fro don't make you hip-hop
    You sorry excuse for funk rap
    Why is there so many cranks trying to rhyme, yo funk that
    The real shit's starting to come back
    The go is where i'm from and where i'm at, jack
    I started eating cat when i was 10
    Before dinner i was getting big dog like glen robinson
    I don't see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind
    But comes a time when you gotta get off of that booty
    The facts of life i didn't learn from watching tootie
    But living in the big city but i still like tootie cause she got big titties
    My style is steep, i write rhymes on the incline
    Splat guts plus fat nuts and lay up like a crib line
    I'm slamming, jamming on the one
    I'm a bad man, you're just a good son, come on
