Pay Attention

Back in the day they used to state I was acting black

Had the starter cap plus the back pack that's full of rap

I got mad till I had the fact

Realized I'll be just a guest in the house of rap

'Cause I been down since the cabbage patch

When come around they used to clown now 'cause I was wack

Then they all had to stop and laugh

I'm working twice as hard but I seem to go like half as fast

If you don't know what I'm meaning

Used to rock the open mic like every single weekend

Sneak in while I'm hoping I can pass as Puerto Rican

But they booed me off the stage right there before I start speaking

Dang man I got dissed again

Seems like I'm never fitting in nobody listening

White boy Floridian Christian not from Michigan

Could anywhere else be a worse type of predicament

Pay attention they never pay attention

Pay attention they never pay attention

Pay attention they never pay attention

Pay attention - you see I wouldn't have to mention if you just pay attention

Getting sick of it seen it all just crash

Cause when I said Christian rap they was like what's that

Rush past then I stop like a bus pass

Staring at me like I'm a cyclops with a mustache

Sometimes I wanna bust back

But if I trust in God then I gotta learn to trust that

He in control man and I love that

I might be old school but I never ever cut class

And I ain't trying to get ya sympathy

Where I'm gone go I'm a get there eventually

This rap thing will never be my identity

So I keep the trinity close in my vicinity

Man you really must be kidding me

I ain't going nowhere I'm still here physically

100 shows a year that ain't a mystery

So stop posting on my timeline that you missed me

Pay attention they never pay attention

Pay attention - you see I wouldn't have to mention if you just pay attention

Pay attention they never pay attention

Pay attention they never pay attention

Keep dissing me I ain't even listening

You ain't innocent you love to be ignorant

Ya dirty mouth needs some Listerine

Plus you ought to gargle that junk up with Mr. Clean

It ain't the same since I hit the scene

It ain't about the money or the fame that they give to me

'Cause I ain't focused on the little things

Like who's the dopest cuz my hope is in only king

They ain't know what I had bring

Working like I'm Jordan in 94 trying to get the ring

So you better eat your spinach

'Cause I ain't getting old man I'm just getting vintage

Do you dudes know the difference

Your crews finished before I go and spit two sentences

Good riddance ya whole flow is too timid

3 minutes of your fame is down to two minutes

Pay attention they never pay attention

Pay attention - you see, I wouldn't have to mention if you just pay attention

Pay attention
