lyrics

THE WAY THAT I RHYME

Yeah, anyway like I was saying. I
Walk up in the show and my song start playing
I’m like dude what if we was gon do that
Tonight? Dj looking like “yeah my bad, tru dat”
“But on the real since the moment I arrived every
Five someone askin can you play some J-Live.”
I told him ‘next time skip all of that stress.
Tellem real DJs don’t take requests’.
Yeah, see we the Ghostbusters. Men in Black just
Look into the light you can trust us.
Forget whatever song you were thinking.
We select, you keep dancing and drinking.
Speakin of which not even that late it’s
Already jumpin like Zion in the Matrix.
Not a sword fight neither more like, hmm. What’s the
Opposite a sheath fest? Man that’s a deep guess.
But you know to expect nothing less.
My rhymes aint checkers kid more like chess.
That’s why the queens stay fresh up on the scene.
They checkin for the king nameen.

The reason
Why, cause she want that real live bonafied
Certified actual factual genuine
Article. Straight from heart I embody hip
Hop down to my last follicle’s particle (The reason
Why) cause she aint just purty she smart
Sharp enough to break down darts. Later for that
Dumb down radio rap on the charts
Sistren respect the arts (The reason
Why) Cause your nigga bitch rap is bad juju
J-live love black woman like Buju
A brother asked, “who’s that on stage yo, is he new?” A
Shorty in the front turned around like, “who you?”
“And where the hell have you been?”
“Ask your girl, ask her three best friends”
“4 albums deep sick with the pen”
“Nice on the beats, plus he could spin.” She
Said she couldn’t wait for the next one to drop. He
Said I love a female that knows her hip hop. She
Gave him that look like, “go head be quiet.
That brand of game is so gad damn tired.” He
Tried to play it off like, “for real though its true.” She
Said, “apparently I’m up on more than you.”
Acting like it’s a new phenomenon man,
Listen to the hook to the song.
