lyrics

Some nights I wanna rap
Some nights I wanna make music
Some nights I wanna spit
Some nights I wanna break through it
some nights it's all about making up for last night
and today was spent trying to get my cash right
I left nights holding to a flashlight
wanna do it fast life, holding to my pass tight
let it go, gotta set goal, go get it
yeah I said it, I won't settle no, never can I fold
but yo I kick the truth to the young youth
it goes in one ear and right out unless the gun shoots
so I can front too, but I'm not going to
I don't get millions mic cheques just the 1-2
just some kung fu shit you know I came to kick it
it's insanse what they do when I came and kicked it
it's the best feeling in the world to hear them roar
when I spit it raw, satisfied what they came and saw
yes I gave it all, guess the game is wrong
ain't no caine involved, just a brain with thoughts
like I'm Krang and all down in the sewers
a connaisseur of what I pursue
a true attitude that I brew, like the brew I choose to booze down
I'm cool now cause I let it loose now
release it all and get the noose down
uh yeah....and if you don'y knooow, now you know I gave you proof now


How can I deal but man it’s cruel out there for everyone
How can I sleep when every mile out there is stacking up
I know that I can’t make it there all by myself
But if I lead would you follow me without a doubt?


gone are the days when I A-B pressed
the eighties jet by like a Mercedez S
I'm daily stressed
I cannot delay these threats
of babies, cheques
it's all a fucking hazy mess
of insecurity, blank guess concerning me
blank left is scarring, security blanket deserted me
blank text inserted and 3rd degree
burning me as my words'll be
put under a microscope, or I could cope
or I could saulk, or I could boast
or I could choke, or I could host an overdose
or come close and never know
enough folks'll never know
won't be those so I'ma go
coming close's not optional
I'ma blow this out the door
I ain't bogus I'm a pro
aim and focus on the show
ain't shit hopeless down the road
it's cold and I'ma hold this well below
and play my role as I close in on the goal
and pray the code as I close in on the foe
precise slicing the price is to get by fighting
forget Mike Tyson
I made my hype and
I made mine happen
you can hate my rapping
but can't take my passion
so one day might happen
when I may shine lauging
on the plane high flashing
so I stay trying madd
and the game is mad and the pain is brash
and if you don't know...now you know...I made it happen
