Never Did I (The Gadfly Album Version)

And with that big hand choke your style until your rhythm drops

Throw it off track to never find its beat

When you hear my army marching you should be concerned

Have that left-right meaning at your necks to burn

So you best to learn quick for this punishment's firm

You'll be shackled to my beat until my time's complete

Never did I listen to the lies you speak

Had I did I'd never realize my peak

Never quit, I hit the skies when I finds my beat

As I rid the world of wackness till my time's complete

Never did I listen to the lies you speak

Had I did I'd never realize my peak

Never quit, I hit the skies when I finds my beat

As I rid the world of wackness till my time's complete

I thought I told you not to trip on this Los Angeles crew

We lost count of all the part-time rhymers we ran through

I'm saying how you gon' relate to the things that we do

Pump up the volume in your stereo and hear us speak

Now what you hearing is the God-fearing respect for the art

And what you feeling is the healing when you speak from the heart

And what you see is the endurance that you need from the start

Till you cross the finish line and finally reach your peak

Never finished on a mission to swing it

Till I'm through or till they say hey

Jurnee big, nobody bring it like you

Tunnel Rats reign supreme, sure as Cali skies blue

Have them other crews stumbling trying to find their beat

Since them Green Leaf Street days my dues been paid

Scribbling on a white sheet is how my bed's been made

Exit from 11th grade so that foundation is laid

Never quit that trying to hit till Youthwatch complete

Never did I listen to the lies you speak

Had I did I'd never realize my peak

Never quit, I hit the skies when I finds my beat

As I rid the world of wackness till my time's complete

Never did I listen to the lies you speak

Had I did I'd never realize my peak

Never quit, I hit the skies when I finds my beat

As I rid the world of wackness till my time's complete

Never did I
