[Intro: Homeboy Sandman]
Yo
Dedicating this to
Young female, who I'm sure meant no harm
Asked me what I did
Told her I was a musician
Said "What kind of music do you make?"
I said "I make hip-hop"
She said "Oh, you mean you're a rapper?"
[Verse 1]
Next interview I'm asked how long I've been in the game
Afterwards gon' have to walk with a cane
I'm not on that plane
People ask why I ain't walking this way
Nowadays I just be walking away
I am not tryna waste
An instant tryna explain
How I'm different from other rappers, far as they traits
Like there could ever be a logical answer other than the music we make
When I'm dead and gone my music will remain
We are not in a race
I don't hold a conventional view
I'm not concerned with being the best, or being better than you
I'm concerned with being better than me
At the highest levels, that's the only better worth even trying to be
This is the protest that the vultures evoked
As a spokesman for the culture that's considered a joke
Just a show biz, son, to show that I'm loathed
Take a gander at the winners how they glamour and the glitter that's shown
