|
Here we are, my friend.
|
Once again
|
I'm inclined to rhyme one time.
|
So won't you lend me your ear?
|
Cuz it's clear
|
That this here has no pain
|
If this song was the blues you'd be sheddin a tear
|
Like a baby
|
Maybe
|
Is shoulda held back.
|
Some of you look shocked
|
I guess you couldn't tell that
|
I was here to drop knowledge
|
College is irrelevant
|
My next move,
|
To prove I'm smooth but still intelligent
|
Expressing
|
Lessons with sheer precision
|
First hear me out then make a decision
|
On whether Everlast knows what time it is.
|
Does this song belong in the rhyming biz?
|
Yes, I think so, cuz I'm a pioneer
|
Blazing the trail across a new frontier.
|
I'm growing lengths of growing stregth as I get older.
|
Cuz I'm a syndicate soldier.
|
|
All affections left behind,
|
There's two more gears to grind.
|
Before I'm through,
|
I'm sure that you will find
|
A new respect for the rhymes I inject.
|
Through your eardrum,
|
Don't play dumb
|
Just let me get to the point of my address
|
Unless you feel you can't go.
|
This song is on the tables to make you dance, so
|
Get up, and if you don't, leave the premises
|
I'm Rula-Ku so you can call me a genesis.
|
Born to perform and please a large crowd
|
Of people at night and to my right is El-o
|
The scale is brother,
|
Known for being treacherous
|
A sucker made a move and that's the reason
|
Fletcher was forced to put his head out
|
He got too close to me,
|
Two by my side
|
And that's that's how it's supposed to be.
|
These are my brothers,
|
And they've been around me
|
Since back in the days when the Syndicate found me.
|
They are the people deserving of credit.
|
List my name, gained fame, and made sure I wouldn't let it
|
Go to my head
|
Instead
|
I keep my feet down
|
Unlike sucker's from the past I beat down.
|
The fatal mistake was to break on my confidence
|
Overall, their fall was due to overconfidence.
|
As we go, the ego's
|
All start acting up
|
With statements
|
Of greatness, the rhymes aren't backing up.
|
Talking louder as they get bolder,
|
But there's no defense
|
Against a syndicate soldier.
|
|
As we reach the final stage,
|
Something got engaged,
|
In a conflict,
|
That's sick with violent rage.
|
I gained fame,
|
From my name, Everlast.
|
How long can this hype about a devil last?
|
A star was formed, but everyone took it serious.
|
Now it's seems, I'm seen as delirious.
|
That's okay, I'll stay under rated.
|
And good things will come to all who have waited.
|
For the brother of a lighter skin to begin
|
Droppin' knowledge with weight,
|
Cuz you rate paper thins.
|
Science is one thing, knowledge is another.
|
What do I mean when I say that I'm a brother?
|
Being a brother is a state of mind
|
For all those who chose to remain unblind.
|
Growing wisdom as I get older.
|
That's right I'm white and I'm a syndicate soldier.
