Текст песни
What's up? The monitors blown
Destiny's calling my phone again on speed dial
Meanwhile the wall in my home is falling
Thanks I'll take another meal of potluck
Don't sweat the small stuff and put it all in a song
Got here before the sound man, they told me 8:30
Waited in the parking lot adjacent to the bar
Wrote a verse in the car all by my lonely maybe
Fate heard me working hard most certainly ain't making me a star
But it's not for that, not for them
A trailblazer can't sit around and count up what it's costing him
See it's a brawl to win, I understand the shoes I'm walking in
I'm blocking up the potholes the population is falling in
Taller than the trees they smoke, old as English 800
Strong enough to break something, greatness is the main function
Press play and you may have done it
Release the fists in the air that could grab your world and run it
We'll make 'em change the rules like Al Cinder and Bill Russell
Rename your disc changer the Mars Ill Shuffle
We see you like the Hubble, the needle bust your bubble
Your team can't even pay for talking about us in the huddle
So subtle that we'll infiltrate your water cooler convo
Bonds will be quoting me at the bridge club tomorrow
Our faces pasted inside of high school lockers
Follow the smoking gun to see who shot ya
Oh, write this down and come back to it later
Twenty years from now my words are still grabbing your nature
Oh, it's like that, I got a lot to say
"In the annals of rap, I wrote the dog-eared page"
Oh, write this down and come back to it later
Twenty years from right now words still grabbing your nature
Oh, it's like that, I got a lot to say
"In the annals of rap, I wrote the dog-eared page"
Say what I mean in my daydreams and take it in the booth with me
Record execs warn me saying, "Hey son, the truth's risky"
Telling me, "Just make something that's hot right now"
Even though we both know those cats ain't got no style
The talent pool is drowning, fool, skill level is marginal
