I Don't Follow The Trend

(Mmm, I don't follow the trend)

Never did it for the fame

Never did it for the game

When I picked up the mic

It made my whole world change

Started back in my bedroom

With a double cassette

Had nothin' to prove

No records to press

Never follow the trend

I just kept pursuing to be original

Not copy what everyone else is doin'

Large and in charge

Against all odds

I don't bite

And call that payin' homage, I'm still doin' it

Plug in my mic

Soundcheck

It's gonna be another great night

Come correct

Got heritage whatever kid

I'm not work for hire

And through it all I never lost my desire

No regrets

Pardon me for bein' such a dreamer

All these memories

Keep givin' me the fever

I'm red hot

'Cause good times don't last

And right now I think I'm just stuck in the past

'Cause I don't wanna follow the trend

I don't wanna follow the trend

I'ma be this way til the end

I don't wanna follow the trend

I don't wanna follow the trend

I'ma be this way till the end

Playback on the A-track

Rewind the tapes

Check the meters to make sure the levels is straight

Press record

And catch this moment in time

Pay respect to where it all began

Before the shine

Raw authentic cooked up and broil it

Mics get rusty then it's time to oil 'em

Gotta plug em back in the decks

And Crown Royal 'em

The good ol' days

The golden age

Recognize the difference between the fake and realness

The wicked with the real, child, the wack, and the illness

The drums are shot

And minds get in to it

Make ya hungry enough to swallow and not chew it

And your face got you hangin' on a fat shoe link

You're a hop hop fan

Just tryin' to maintain

Attacking with my jungle tactics

I'm lookin' at you

With my face on backwards cause I don't follow the trend

I don't wanna follow the trend

(Don't follow the trend, no no)

I don't wanna follow the trend

I'ma be this way til the end

I don't wanna follow the trend

I don't wanna follow the trend

(Don't follow the trend, mmm, mmm)

I'ma be this way til the end

That's it
