Self Taught |
I’m home |
Uh, yeah |
They always ask me, ' |
Ali, what you so angry for man? |
Why you always so upset? |
' |
I tell 'em ' Shit, theres a thin line between anger and hunger my man |
And I ride a unicycle down the middle, you might catch me touchin' feet down on |
both sides ' |
Ever since day number one, it’s just me and where I’m coming from |
Rites of Passage and Shadows on the Sun |
My people, I stand before you, As a man with more true shit |
Than he knows what to do with |
I give it all to you, long as you can promise me this |
When it’s time, you will ball up a fist (like this) |
Me and Anthony, we fill all the gaps in |
And are proud of what we make, regardless what happens |
Fuck rappin', I sing off key |
One thing you should never do is dis Ali |
Cause, motherfucker, there ain’t nothin' rougher |
Then tryin' to climb from the rug you get swept under |
I can run through every one of your blunders |
Mistake number one is that your crew don’t love ya |
I’ll take a bullet for the core of the Sayers |
When me and my dogs out tourin' the nation |
I spit with an intensity you have to witness |
Look close, my blood on the back of the tickets |
It’s that religious, it’s what I teach my son |
How to read the Qur’an and how a party is won |
We like ' Doctor, don’t get it mistaken |
We carve life out when we sit in the basement |
We self-taught, it’s as real as you make it |
Anyway you look at it this shit is amazing |
Doctor, don’t get it mistaken |
We carve life out when we sit in the basement |
We self-taught, it’s as real as you make it |
Anyway you look at it this shit is amazing' |
When line meets mine, we bend ya girl’s spine |
Figure-eight status, she got back for days |
The same old magic will not crack the maze |
The lights changed since we anted up, pot has been raised |
And I’m fucking with the hand I was dealt |
Live twenty-five years to experience what Lazarus felt |
If you drop three crumbs, I’ll eat one |
Feed one to the family, rest’ll get invested in my freedom |
I battle through carton of shit |
With a wrist, full of broken tooth picks, tryin' to carve out a niche |
You can either choose the heart or the fist, but you will connect with me |
If your path ever intersect with me |
The fire in the eye could never be held back, (it's the same) |
Pressure that made the liberty bell crack, (it's the same) |
Pressure that made my brother E sell crack, (in the name) |
Qur’an, holy, Rest in Peace |
My back is bein' watched by, the only one on high |
We stride in the party, hoods up, crossed eyes |
Broke as what, but don’t give a fuck |
Cause I feel I got the world by the nuts, Uhh! |
We like, «Doctor, don’t get it mistaken |
We carve life out when we sit in the basement |
We Self Taught, it’s as real as you make it |
Anyway you look at it this shit is amazing |
Doctor, don’t get it mistaken |
We carve life out when we sit in the basement |
We Self Taught, it’s as real as you make it |
Anyway you look at it this shit is amazing» |
Homeboy understand, I ain’t mad at you |
There’s just very few things in life I know how to do |
And this is one of them right here |
And whatever comes up comes out |
We don’t put our hands on our mouths, I stand for what I’m about |
Unknown but I’m still a soldier |
Can’t let em go home till I win 'em over |
My youth was training, it’s very clear |
Every year, new city, new rules to play with (true shit) |
New kid in school, didn’t rule nothin' |
To this day I rap like I’m trying to prove something |
Little bit aggressive, when I spit a sentence |
Till you get the message |
You couldn’t pay me to quit professin' |
Rock sixty-one sold out shows, came home, and caught a bus to the |
Sixty-second |
Shirt sweated full of work ethic |
Been in love with the shit since I first met it |
Rhymesayers is the first to come, last to leave |
Ain’t no tricks up our sleeve, this is what we believe |
We like ' Doctor, don’t get it mistaken |
We carve life out when we sit in the basement |
We Self Taught, it’s as real as you make it |
Anyway you look at it this shit is amazing |
Doctor, don’t get it mistaken |
We carve life out when we sit in the basement |
We Self Taught, it’s as real as you make it |
Anyway you look at it this shit is amazing' |
