| Yo, I’m tired of looking at everybody. |
| Same boots, skully hats in 90 degree weather, looking to get into clubs for free. |
| I’m not
|
| smoking blunts, or looking for jazz records at the Roosevelt.
|
| I left New York, the city itself was stress depression
|
| High boots and urban beats, that wasn’t my direction
|
| Producers filtering join in with R&B
|
| A million rappers, some clones trying to sound like me Biting my space styles, biting my horror-core
|
| All I saw was Kool Keiths on my thaw
|
| Record companies had G’d-off all my royalties
|
| Watching vinyl spin, local groups’wack MC’s
|
| Some try to rap with that perpetrate mobster crap
|
| Karl Kani jeans, fat stomachs in the limosines
|
| Mixtapes by wack DJ’s adds doo doo play
|
| I’m on the turnpike, the city drifting down the highway
|
| Like a mirage, the style there is all illusion
|
| On videos out of town, peoples buy confusion
|
| Rolling high with cash pulled over down my eye
|
| Since I’ve been out, y’all can’t see
|
| Is the world made of plastic?
|
| Is the city buried in dreams? |
| (Yeah)
|
| Is the world made of plastic?
|
| Cause that’s the way is seems (Owww)
|
| Watching TV so bored, while imbiciles hold the mic cord
|
| Graffiti playgrounds are played out, yo how’d that sound?
|
| Army fatigues are weak, is for the minor leagues
|
| No rapping cyphers or brothers in the rented Benz
|
| Crews on stage, acting hard with a thousand friends
|
| I saw the place turn plastic, crackers looping beats
|
| People with no deals, walkmen rappin on the streets
|
| I turned my back, 90% of the city sounded wack
|
| Payola scams switched DJ’s like a rubber band
|
| Everybody clear with beats trying to be Premier
|
| Clearing s&les, your SP-12 fake ex&les
|
| My money grows with green from my own label
|
| While you act rich with no cash on the bigger label
|
| Your tri-state ways are shut down by barricades
|
| In fact I packed my bags, and listened to E-40
|
| Mac Mall, C-Bo, and other rappers you don’t know
|
| You’re narrow-minded and styles of mind you won’t find it My sound proceeds with moog and undertone bass
|
| No comic gimmicks with beats rapping in my face
|
| I come back real, solid rock razor steel
|
| Tap your program, show the world I’m the man
|
| You copy Poppa Large, the industry is large
|
| As I do see sorta rugged wack beer commercials
|
| Some rappers are bought and puppeteered like the Ninja Turtles
|
| From Manhattan I heat up, yo light up Times Square
|
| I make noise like open high hats on your cheap snare
|
| No promotional shows, girls wear corn rows
|
| People with hooded sweaters on crack keep me on my toes
|
| I walk with straw hats, fake glasses in the projects
|
| Bring my ghost image so tense on the line of scrimmage
|
| Playing my numbers, waiting for the Five to come
|
| Spaghetti out the window, people acting dumb
|
| Fire hazards wake the neighbors, your family’s nosy
|
| I come and go as I please on blockhead MC’s
|
| You bought new sneakers, no car, scrambling on the corner
|
| I’m not the star you are, the city’s fallen far
|
| By mechanism, you’re on my tip
|
| Stay off my penis, you’ve duplicated me for years
|
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, you are the one |
