| I know I can be
|
| A little hard to deal with so I stay
|
| High as I can be
|
| To get through the day without screaming
|
| They call me Lyrical Jesus but don’t make me get evil
|
| If I put my hands on you it won’t be to heal you
|
| Sometimes I’m hoping that this life is just a bad dream
|
| Cause I done seen things that make a dead nigga scream
|
| «Where you been at?»
|
| I’m questioned by my peers
|
| But even Shakespeare disappeared for seven years
|
| Then returned with the greatest work that a playwrite ever did
|
| So counting Chino out really is not a bright idea
|
| Manuel Barbosa, meet your son
|
| I’m half Chalino Sanchez, half Big Pun
|
| And as a shorty they would call me Chino Action
|
| Was 10 years old at Def Jam trying to battle Run
|
| 11 years old in a juvenile cell
|
| Lyrically already, you couldn’t tell me I wasn’t LL
|
| I never failed I’m still a hell of a writing machine
|
| Chino raises stakes like Van Helsing
|
| I’m like the pope, kiss the ring
|
| How can I be anything else with so many tendancies of a king?
|
| I’m like a veteran from Vietnam
|
| My mind’s numb, at time my grind shock you like electricians with sweaty palms
|
| I met Gil Scott Heron on a long flight
|
| He said, «Brother, you the type to make writers want to go and write.»
|
| How can I leave something I do so well?
|
| I’m tired, my eyes glowing red like jewels from Hell
|
| The hotels, sleepless night, the need for rifle power
|
| More parasites than you can see from top of Eiffel Tower
|
| They say my ego put me out of history
|
| I’m so conceited I’m jealous when people envy me
|
| I ain’t scared to die, I’m very moody
|
| Everybody gotta go sometime like jury duty
|
| But why try me?
|
| Even with all them Chinese kata’s who try to master you can’t tie Chi
|
| No
|
| Yo, you know Chino from the Wake Up Show
|
| The records, I Told U So
|
| And Poison Pen and classic Here To Save You All
|
| You ain’t even a factor
|
| So matter of fact I’mma mow your block down like I drive a John Deere tractor
|
| Haters feel the threat
|
| Cause the muscularity of Chino and an action figure’s anatomically correct
|
| Everybody likes to rattle a lion’s cage
|
| But no one wants to go in alone when his razors are displayed
|
| Afraid of long scars, dim-witted as Chumlee on Pawn Stars
|
| Still special like 50 Tyson’s report card
|
| All this Vicodin, Jack Daniel’s and valiums
|
| Bout it, blow them promos up, it’s time to drop these albums
|
| If I don’t make it and I’m decomposing in a box
|
| My influence lives on
|
| I just won’t be there to watch
|
| Say, «He was the illest when he picked up that pen.»
|
| And judge me by my enemies as well as my friends
|
| Gone |
