lyrics

Stupid writers, you don’t know what to think or to do
Trying to keep Hip-Hop inside of a zoo (yes you do!)
I been doing this for ten years, so long
You don’t know what to say ‘cos your minds ain’t strong Aren’t you tired of these gimmicks?
Aren’t you tired of these cynics?
Pessimistic players in these policy clinics
Tell you how to sound with a subtle force of fashion, innit.

On my way through the market, arc it / Dome it, chrome it, soul-like-stone it / Must be hard for you, this ‘Cos this [is] the kind of Hip-Hop where I don’t talk / Must be hard for you to get analytic / and get real subtle- that’s the way that I kick it / Kick dope heads, crumble like a palace of biscuits / This glassy-world’s full of fragile, scared, puffed-up pigs / Running around and they catching the light... Clingin’ to the blingin’ of their last ideals / Everybody’s fit to fall like Baghdad and have / [their] Glorious statues of themselves / Ripped down by gangs of your humility / That's the pain when you said, 'It's killing me,' / Your conscience drips and it bleeds reality / Forget that nonsense legality / This go a-deeper than the laws and applause / If everybody loves you and licks your paws / You might-might-m-might milk the applause / You might think that you arrived and saw / World tours and all the opened doors / Trendy photos and words from Pitchfork / And die-hard fans and the endless -talk / And Nelly Furtado wanna sing with YOU! / Coldplay and Timbaland too / And Timberlake too, up to timbuktu / Who are you when you look in the mirror? / Say it out loud, it's a corny line, say:

Who Am I ?
