Been This Way

Every MC in this industry wants one thing

To be the best, in the top of their game

You want it? Come and get me

Do what you gotta do (Come and get me)

I came from the struggle, I'm bringing my pain with me

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray, Yo

I been this way since back in the day, yup

Do what you gotta do (Come and get me)

I came from the struggle, I'm bringing my pain with me

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray, Yo

I been this way since back in the day, yup

You couldn't rock a joint with a mic and a pound of weed

You couldn't get a point across with a pen and a key a pee

You couldn't get as high as me with two tabs of LSD

Cool as a cucumber with two sticks of celery

Spit like watermelon pits from you juju lips

Hands more callus can see excel from the mics I read

My rhyme patterns supreme, mmm the baddest

Fresh, my flows the fattest

Yeah and I gotta do this for those that never had it

But climbed the ladder only to watch all their dreams shatter

They double my pain, I tripled my skills in hip-hop

Quadrupled my strength, quintupled my props, Yo

I got it locked you and I'm ready to drop, Yo

And you can hit me with everything that you got, Yo

But I will not fall or trip over obstacles

It's logical I'm gonna run hip hop into the cortical

Do what you gotta do (Come and get me)

I came from the struggle, I'm bringing my pain with me

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray, Yo

I been this way since back in the day, yup

Do what you gotta do (Come and get me)

I came from the struggle, I'm bringing my pain with me

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray, Yo

I been this way since back in the day

First two I stepped up and I made moves

I stay true and like flows I paid dues

And came thru sliced inviters like Blade two

Cause they knew I came to take our fake crews

And take YOU if this is what it comes down to

Trying to break thru and go triple platinum like Che Fu (True)

Still I'm tighter than the Al-Qaeda with corn braids

Lines heavy like if you wake whole Dawn Raid

Fuck them and let them see I'm all yeah

I went back to the true school like DJ Severe

So who the, who the fuck said that Scribe was in deep

Yo, I'm deep like Mareko's voice tone when he speaks

And I'm ill like Uneepa with skills to pay the bills this year

And MC is getting cut like One Tree Hill, for real

I'm still the baddest MC to grab a pad and a pen

Go tell a friend Scribe is at it again, yeah

Do what you gotta do (Come and get me)

I came from the struggle, I'm bringing my pain with me

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray, Yo

I been this way since back in the day, yup

Do what you gotta do (Come and get me)

I came from the struggle, I'm bringing my pain with me

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray, Yo

I been this way since

I complete the beat like the snare come crisp and clear

I'm here to test MCs like it's their fifth form year

We about to find out who is and sho isn't prepared

About to make your threads disappear into thin air

Ask DJ Shane, Yo I've been up in here

You'd better get it crystal clear your skill just doesn't compare

They're asking who's the best in the underground

No question the best is on the fucking mic right now

Do what you gotta do (Come and get me)

I came from the struggle, I'm bringing my pain with me

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray, Yo

I been this way since back in the day, yup

Do what you gotta do (Come and get me)

I came from the struggle, I'm bringing my pain with me

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray, Yo

I been this way since back in the day, yup

Yeah, come and get me, I'm waiting

I'll still be here when you're ready
