lyrics

I don't know what you want from me but i don't wanna be
another photocopy of what you think i should be.
I could be. But I'm better off my own way
With better off alone days. So what if I get no plays?
I'm in it for the skill. I'm not about to make a million.
It isn't how I get my thrills besides the dolla dolla kills y'all
I grew up on the right side, the "I don't fight" side
But damnit I can rock the mic right
I'm not a rapper I'm really a poet
There just so happened to be a beat behind the poem when I wrote it
Everybody knows it. They express it to me vocally
I'm not a picture perfect image of what a rappers supposed to be
But what is rap supposed to be?
A lot of people out there tend to forget that it stand for rhythm and poetry
And just because you have rhythm doesn't mean you can slack on the second half of the acronym

All these bubblegum pop star candy rappers rotting minds
I'm only trying to make a meal and not the kind with dollar signs
Food for thought. Nourishment for the crown chakra
But my kind don't belong. I'm a guest in mi own casa
Dead to my alma matar, an author within a coffin
Rebel without applause always popping off at the noggin
They wanna pop a couple bottles make some dollars in the process
I'm a monster off the radar, yeti swimming in the Loch Ness
And all my network is urban legends, underground phenomenons
Ain't no surfacing without help from the necronomicon
Sacred literature is the key to what I've been preaching
This is music for your soul, not a soundtrack for the weekend
So if I think it, better believe that I'm gonna speak it
I refuse to be silent or dumb it down for the appeasement
of a group of people with beliefs I simply don't agree with.
No wonder they don't understand the reason that I breathe it.
