How to Be an M.C. |
This is how to be an emcee, please take notes |
Tryna keep you from mistakes new cats make most |
Whatever coast, continent, country, city or town |
If you ain’t true to it, homie, put your pen back down |
This is how to be an emcee, please take notes |
Tryna keep you from mistakes new cats make most |
Whatever coast, continent, country, city or town |
If you ain’t true to it, homie, put your pen back down |
Aye, first off, let me say before we even start |
Ya gotta have love for this art-form in your heart |
The money part can’t be most important to y’all |
You would still do it if it was no paper involved |
It’s a hard hustle, don’t get in it if you’re not a soldier |
You have to go and study the history of the culture |
Every emcee dead or alive who ever wrecked it |
If you don’t know how the game began, how can you respect it? |
Learn how the styles evolved throughout time |
The simple and the complex ways people would rhyme |
Different flow patterns, learning where certain words belong |
But more importantly the content of each song |
Expand your mind if you wanna be around for years |
‘cause rappers with short knowledge tend to have short careers |
And when a thought appears, cultivate it to the max |
Stay motivated, too many artists faded and relaxed |
This is how to be an emcee, please take notes |
Tryna keep you from mistakes new cats make most |
Whatever coast, continent, country, city or town |
If you ain’t true to it, homie, put your pen back down |
This is how to be an emcee, please take notes |
Tryna keep you from mistakes new cats make most |
Whatever coast, continent, country, city or town |
If you ain’t true to it, homie, put your pen back down |
Gotta find your identity, second order of biz |
Can’t be yourself until you find out who yourself is |
Formulate your own ideas, develop and write ‘em |
You can listen to other rappers but don’t try to sound like ‘em |
The goal is not to imitate what clowns might do |
Create your own style, make them wanna sound like you |
And even if the artist got skill that’s different and wild |
You can learn from that talent without stealing their style |
You copying hot rappers in the game, that sucks |
What if they style plays out, you gotta change back up |
That’s the reason why most careers burn out faster |
Originality’s what you should be tryin' to master |
Can’t slack, gotta stay up and grind through the night |
Redoing a line time after time 'til it’s right |
Never run from the critics ‘cause the great ones don’t |
And not being scared to say things that most cats won’t |
This is how to be an emcee, please take notes |
Tryna keep you from mistakes new cats make most |
Whatever coast, continent, country, city or town |
If you ain’t true to it, homie, put your pen back down |
This is how to be an emcee, please take notes |
Tryna keep you from mistakes new cats make most |
Whatever coast, continent, country, city or town |
If you ain’t true to it, homie, put your pen back down |
There’s a lot of elements that make your rhyming elite |
Delivery, voice projection, plus riding the beat |
Everybody likes dope tracks but don’t confuse it |
A real rapper can wreck a mic without no music |
No gimmicks or marketing, it ain’t about no hype |
Hell, a real rapper can get down without no mic |
Your words are more important than the image and partying |
Having a stage presence and controlling the audience |
If you don’t wanna practice, better summon the urge |
Try to speak clear as possible, don’t jumble your words |
Test your skills anywhere that you can get the display |
If you think that everybody gon' love you, quit today |
Never start beef, that’s the way your enemies grow |
Speak on real life and learn how the industry goes |
I can teach you all of this and yet you still might flop |
‘cause truth is this is a gift, you either got it or not |
This is how to be an emcee, please take notes |
Tryna keep you from mistakes new cats make most |
Whatever coast, continent, country, city or town |
If you ain’t true to it, homie, put your pen back down |
