The Reason
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They say live by the sword and die by the sword
Well I live by my mic so i die by your sword
A death that I prepared my mind for
And when the day comes what good the sky for
a cloud that is shaped as my silhouette
and my last track recuperating in your head
but as I write now I'm not dead yet
So for all mc breathing I'm still a threat
still the reason they can't get sleep
Stayin' up all night repeating the beat
hey grassbin on a pen full of ink
Eyes locked on to a notebook sheet
Doing all they can to compose a rhyme
That's on the same level as a pro of mine
They try right now but they know in time
When it comes to great list I'm the only kind
I'm the reason, they stay awake at night
I'm the reason, that they hate to write
I'm the reason, they're afraid of the mic
I'm the reason, hip-hop is staying alive
I'm the reason, they stay awake at night
I'm the reason, that they hate to write
I'm the reason, they're afraid of the mic
I'm the reason, hip-hop is staying alive
This song is not a threat, it's a promise
to any mc whose dead will get demolish
the beating we can never be accomplish
little guts can't compare with a strong wind
That I cause with impeccable wordplay
I'm a PHD, they are stuck in the first grade
When I do shows, I make the earth shake
Water getting food out of little kids birthdays
I've been still they can't even break toothpick
After they concentrate, they're diluted
When I speak there's no room for improvement
Kinse album taito, I am music
and that will always be true
as long as I'm me and the sky stays blue
Just doin' I was made to do
And if you feel threatened, and the day is you
I'm the reason, they stay awake at night
I'm the reason, that they hate to write
I'm the reason, they're afraid of the mic
I'm the reason, hip-hop is staying alive
I'm the reason, they stay awake at night
I'm the reason, that they hate to write
I'm the reason, they're afraid of the mic
I'm the reason, hip-hop is staying alive
I'm the reason
I'm the reason
I'm the reason
I'm the reason
I'm the reason, they stay awake at night
I'm the reason, that they hate to write
I'm the reason, they're afraid of the mic
I'm the reason, hip-hop is staying alive
I'm the reason, they stay awake at night
I'm the reason, that they hate to write
I'm the reason, they're afraid of the mic
I'm the reason, hip-hop is staying alive
