Year of the Lyricist

Bowl full of vegan nutrition for the future I'm hopeful

And I been the same since the time when Diddy signed Total

Up in the city now but you backed me when I was local

These so called brethrens didn't really wanna see me go through

Now I'm the go to guy, they see the dance and wanna roll through

But if you're not from it, you won't understand it

Yeah they hear something brand new and they just wanna brand it

I hear so much talk of branding these times I can't stand it

These people see the S.A.S.A.S and think we planned it

But it was so organic now it's spread across the planet

Everywhere we go from here to Tokyo the dance we ram it

Gotta count the blessings damn it, breaking through all these satanic

Verses with some purpose even when the schedules moving manic

This is the year of the lyricist

You wanted something you could feel, here it is

They're acting like the wordsmith is dead

But we've been here you just ain't looking hard enough

This year we're about to run it red

This is the year of the lyricist

You wanted something you could feel, here it is

They're acting like the wordsmith is dead

But we've been here you just ain't looking hard enough

This year we're about to run it red

We need some more love and respect up in the manor

Likkle youts ain't got no manners, wanna be Tony Montanas

Like Shabba, spark the Cabana, grown man'll throw in a spanner

In the works I grew up listening to Cam'ron and Juelz Santana

But I never cuss in front of my parents, just wouldn't do it

I had respect for my elders no matter what type of music

I listened to so I will not blame the music for the madness

In the manor where they got no manners going on with badness

Abundance leading to sadness that was here before the drill

Kids were doing drugs before these man rapped about popping pills

But I came up in an era, all about dropping skills

Now it seems the internet antics are what the youngers feel

No I don't feel Gucci Gang, the production it sounds the same

But when it comes to clarity they're in the vein of Harry Kane

They'll never off with Harry or compete in Harry's lane

You can have your Lil Xan I'm sticking to Lil Wayne
