IĄŻm standing inth Middle of it, middle of it
|
|
Yo, yĄŻall better wake up; you think we donĄŻt see yĄŻall drifting?
|
Sleeping on the job and forgetting your position? (position)
|
Sit straight and listen; what you are missing
|
I cook up a batch, hot straight out the kitchen
|
No indecision, I spit right
|
Heavy as a fist fight
|
No gloves and no masks
|
No pain and no slack
|
No way to look back
|
Nobody to say I canĄŻt make my own path
|
Cause the way that yĄŻall act, I wanna break something
|
CominĄŻ at me like the pain I feel means nothing
|
CominĄŻ from a place where you canĄŻt relate
|
Where every word from your face comes across as fake
|
And I can hardly take, the way that yĄŻall treat us
|
Sending this out to anyone who wonĄŻt believe us
|
Spelling it out so yĄŻall know the deal
|
And if you canĄŻt feel it, maybe you canĄŻt feel
|
|
IĄŻm standing in the middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
Man, who are you?
|
IĄŻm standing in the middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
What are you saying?
|
IĄŻm standing in the middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
What are you writing?
|
IĄŻm standing in the middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
Man, who are you?
|
|
Tell ĄŽem, Motion
|
Eat your words
|
Say what you used to say and act how you used to act
|
Every time you heard my occupation was a rap attack (rap attack)
|
My conversationĄŻs stacked, I switch my defense on you
|
Every time you want to get deep youĄŻll see my knuckle package
|
Born to die, ferocious emcee make you go back and write your rhymes
|
My style chokes up like a little league baseball player
|
It moves, IĄŻm strangling as IĄŻm swinging as main mangler
|
I wanna dee-four, poach you as your seafood is C4
|
IĄŻm gonna rap and you still knee-high
|
YĄŻall wanna train with me, guy?
|
Man, itĄŻs destructive
|
Man, itĄŻs like jabs from boxing champ Lennox
|
Perfect for your head, IĄŻll fit it like New Era hats
|
That top off suits, B-boy etiquette
|
Express myself with my hang-side
|
Then I extend one finger, the middle to fucking all crouds
|
|
IĄŻm standing in the middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
Man, who are you?
|
IĄŻm standing in the middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
What are you sayinĄŻ?
|
IĄŻm standing in the middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
What are you writinĄŻ?
|
IĄŻm standing in the middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
Man, who are you?
|
|
Yo, Motion (yeah?)
|
Sometimes I feel itĄŻs like nothing that I ever do's ever good enough (for real)
|
Like I should stop and go back to L.A.
|
Back away where I know I wonĄŻt be seen
|
And nobodyĄŻs gonna critique the music that I make
|
And mistake me for some fucking kid with a backpack
|
Rapping on a track just to make a buck
|
For a mix-tape that sucks
|
And DJ's that donĄŻt get it
|
But I been down that road and I know
|
People donĄŻt wanna go where I might go
|
DonĄŻt wanna know what itĄŻs like
|
To step outside your zone with a mike
|
Just controlling the hype
|
And if we need to take shots from them
|
And be stopped by them just to meet these ends
|
Then so be it, I will not hold my breath
|
IĄŻm gonna spit ĄŽtil I got none left
|
Motion, where you at?
|
|
IĄŻm standing in the middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
Man, who are you?
|
IĄŻm standing in the middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
What are you sayinĄŻ?
|
IĄŻm standing in the middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
What are you writinĄŻ?
|
IĄŻm standing in the middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
Man, who are you?
|
IĄŻm standing in the middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
Middle of it
|
Middle of it
