Going Off

I get used to the trends then my style just blends

With contemporary rhythms and then you're drawn in

Yawnin' at other folks who utter quotes the next man used

You're not inspired impressed involved enthused

Instead lullabied by whatever they said

Insulted in fact 'cause what was catapulted at you's wack

By no other name so a brother came

To cut off them chains known as the same ol' same

So get loose 'cause you're able to walk again

Neck out of that nuisance emcee's talk that's awfully lame

Oughtta be plain lovin' it like government reparations

It's about time, now how we gon' spend it

All that to say I'm neither co-dependent on nobody else's tape

Nor ever disappointed as my verses take shape

Sore 'cause this beat's hittin'

I'm wrestlin' it with a pen in my hand

Eff it my effort got me winnin' again

(chorus x2)

It's payin' off as I'm payin' dues you play it 'cause I'm goin' off

Nobody got rhymes like voo's they gon' be layin' off

Weak rappers left and right mouth wide open 'cause the South came so tight

Unexpected to say the least

Nobody but a narcoleptic's able to sleep

Eyes wide shut turntables flushed with heat

If raps were fat nuts how many bucks would I spend in a week

Just on sheets never heard of me, peep

I take a Stevie Wonder/Luther Vandross creep

To the studio and murder the beat

Look at the side of Ricky Williams' helmet is the fleur-de-lis neat

If so they let him tiptoe on the turf, how sweet

But as I run in the field

I expect a lot of shots at my head

And facemaskin' draggin' me 'til I kneel

Just because of who I play for

From Texas with that flow

Need I even say more

The emcee you should pray for

Pay for to see live until the sound of beehives

Put me in a position to where you're stickin' to me I've

Gotta be focused, not get too big for my Levi's or cargos

I think I'm doing alright so far though

(Chorus)
