Choose a track to play
Yeah, smooth, check it out
You hear a lot of different songs
But a lot of the same styles, you know
So I thought I'd dabble in some style
And bring out something different
It's not the style that you're used to
So yo, when you hear it, have an open mind
And I'm sure you'll find entertainment in this rhyme
So I'm gonna swing it just like this
Now this is different, not too different
But different from the last
You'll have a blast as soon as somebody pass
The mic to me
MC C-R-A-I-G dash G
Ask me whatever you ask me, don't pass me
A rhyme, 'cause that mistake might be ghastly
In time, I might find a new rapper to
Kill, yeah, that's just how I feel
Skill? Skill's portrayed from what jams are played
And how many rappers are out gettin' paid
And who sports the dopest lookin' fade
Nah, that don't make the grade
Rhymes, rhymes that leave you all just confined
In your room to exercise your mind
Is the only brand, only kind
To me that sounds fine
So yo, next time you even try to flow
Find a style of rhymes that go
Go exactly with the way that you choose to
Not the style that we're used to, yeah
Don't even do it in the style that we're used to
Yeah, check it out
Performance? Performance is enough to know
Who can pick up the microphone and throw
Throw a rhyme that makes the crowd scream "Ho"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm sure you know
Style, style is what drives the crowd wild
And have the people in the aisles
Dancin' in a single file
Huh, never actin' mild
Labels, labels, they don't have a clue
Of what things a rapper goes through
They go through a lot, yo, it's true
Believe me, they do
They push you and make you believe what they think
Then blame it on you when you sink
Then tell the whole staff that you stink
Well, that's not what I think
See, if they would've let you do it just the way that you do
Your style wouldn't be the same style that we're used to, yeah
You wouldn't never have to get it in the style that we're used to
Yeah, so yo, swing it
Swing it
Swing it
Brand new style, oh yeah, 1990
We talkin' 'bout lyrics
Yo, lyrics? Lyrics are the key to success
Success is to keep your rhymes fresh
And mind clear of all kinds of mess
That might lead you to death
Be careful, careful of what style you choose
'Cause in this rap field you can lose
And lose real big if you move
Or make the wrong move
So soothe, soothe the whole crowd with your groove
And always have somethin' to prove
And don't let no one fill your shoes
'Cause you'll both look like fools
Fools, they never really go by the rules
And don't really have the right tools
But still they think their records sound cool
'Cause their crew's in it too
And just 'cause they're with it, they will always try to boost you
And make you do the same style that we're used to, yeah
But me, this song is not the same style that you're used to
I know it sounds awkward, but yo
It's just not what you're used to, yeah
I'm outta here
Peace and blessings
