Lyrics
'Cause I'ma do it right this time, right this time
Write this line, write it down, down deep into your mind
I make a difference, I make thoughts happen
I make worlds collide, and I make just enough to survive, all jokes aside
I may have lost a few battles, but this is still war
I used to hand out my tapes, but then I got hungry
The landlord needed money
And I didn't have his fundin', so that day, I started runnin'
And relied on just my cunnin', man, it really wasn't funny
So, I moved out to the sunny Californian shores, where the stars are born
Tried to leave it all behind
But one early mornin', I went soarin', all the way across these states (states)
I hit the road, and did some shows right back to L.A
Now, every night, I stand and plead for all of you to buy these lines
I've been waitin' for this moment, all my very short whole life, hold on
I used to hand out my tapes, but then I got hungry
(Don't use it, got the trunk in car that amaze me)
I used to give out my words, but then I needed money
(Don't, don't use it, got the trunk in car that amaze me)
I'll bite the head off a sentence, and spit it in the crowd
And if it makes you like me more, I'll do it really loud, hey
Hey, I say the words, that's what I do, it's all I know
I use them on the road, at my shows, in studios
And I'm leavin' in my car, girl
Don't know when I'll be back again
So kiss me twice, and let me go, huh
It's time for me to do some shows
And I'll say these words over E.Q's beats
While y'all listen to me, this stuff ain't for free
There's writin' on the walls
So now, all you have to do is listen with your eyes
And you'll finally see what's missin'
See hip-hop, it made me say it wrong
Made me spell it wrong
Made me put it in a song
And now, everyone thinks that it's really, really funny
My music is made by clowns for cars and money
See, hairbands turned into grunge bands
Turned into boy bands, turned into rap toy shams
Well, don't worry, it will find its way without me
But I want for everyone to understand why I'm doubtin'
I know that there's better things to be sold on
But I've been waitin' for this moment for all my life, hold on
And I'm leavin' in my car, girl
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, baby, I hate to go (yeah)
So kiss me, and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Oh, baby, I gotta go
