I never thought that you would crab me
|
Undermine me, and backstab me
|
But I can see clearly now the rain is gone
|
The pain is gone but what you did was still wrong
|
There was a few times I needed your support
|
But you tried to play me like an indoor sport
|
like racquetball, tennis, fool, whatever
|
All I know is you attempted to be clever
|
Nevertheless, cleverness can't impress
|
Cause now you've been expose like a person undressed
|
cause I see through you, I'm the Guru
|
Now what you gonna do when I step to you
|
and when I pay you back I'll be hurting you
|
This ain't no threat so take it personal
|
|
Rap is an art you can't own no loops
|
It's how you hook em up and the rhyme style troop
|
So don't even think you could say someone bit
|
off your weak beat come on you need to quit
|
I flip lines and kick rhymes that never sound like yours
|
There oughtta be laws against you yapping your jaws
|
Originality overflows from in me
|
and the truth is, that you wish you could live the
|
life I live and kick the lyrics I kick
|
But bear in mind that you can't think as quick
|
So Premier drops a beat, for me to say verses to
|
And if I sound doper then take it personal
|
|
Don't be mad cause I don't come around the way
|
like I used to, I don't have time these days
|
I'm keeping busy making power moves
|
Don't try to say I don't remember you
|
You shouldn't let your jealousy show like that
|
I stopped coming by, cause of the way you act
|
Telling my business to kids I don't even know
|
You're like a daytime talk show, and that's low
|
So you can tell everyone, that I'm jerking you
|
And if you don't like it, take it personal
|
