[Sadat X] "R-A what's the lesson for today Rugged Man"
|
[Sadat X] "I am the legendary..R-A"
|
|
[Verse 1]
|
Yo aiiyo people wonderin' where the fuck I been
|
At the VIP section they ain't lettin' me in
|
They say; maybe if you had Dr. Dre or Timbaland
|
They say; a white boy need a black boy to win
|
|
Uhh Bubba Sparxx did it and so did Slim
|
Just Blaze is hot now why don't you get with him
|
I watch mad rappers bite my shit and blow up
|
And make millions of what I created, that's tough luck
|
|
I first started gettin' coverage, around the same time
|
Steve Stout used to carry kid and placed luggage
|
I seen rappers turned from sex symbols in hard throbs
|
To bein forgotten now they out lookin' for jobs
|
|
I seen EPMD break up
|
I seen my little brother Max fall asleep and he ain't never wake up
|
So when I rhyme listen, seriously
|
When I spit I'm givin' you the truth clearly who I really be
|
|
It's an audio version of reality TV
|
I had deals from Russell Simmonds to Master P
|
Even five year old white girls be rappin' today
|
On the playground like 'go shorty it's ya birthday' (Go, go, go..)
|
|
|
|
"Here's a little story I got ta tell"
|
"I am the legendary"
|
"R-A" "Rugged Man"
|
|
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
Yo yo I seen good days sun rays church sundays
|
Made love made war been rich been poor
|
Lost friends lost lawsuits lost my dough
|
Seen beef between Bad Boy and Death Row
|
|
I seen decease take the life for my sisters kid
|
Six months on the earth that's what he had to live
|
I seen Biggie Big L Big Pun pass away
|
Buffy from the Fat Boys, Jam Master Jay
|
|
A month before they blew up with Mystikal and Jay-Z
|
The Neptunes came to see me at D & D
|
I knew this chick named Norah a lounge singer
|
A year later she a six Grammy award winner
|
|
I've seen Flatliners, I've seen Cannabisses
|
I've seen Lil Zanes, yeah I've seen mad misses
|
You and tune that ass bitches get ten percent disses
|
I seen A & R's get fired for takin' pisses
|
|
Stop whinin' and bitchin' nobody listens
|
Who else riskin' they career to stick to being different
|
Switchin' the tradition stickin' to this shit they really livin'
|
I don't care what's hittin
|
Listen this my fuckin' life that I'm spittin'
|
|
|
"Here's a little story I got ta tell"
|
"I am the legendary"
|
"R-A" "Rugged Man"
|
|
|
[Verse 3]
|
I'm at peace with myself now how bout that
|
I hated life I wanted to die a few years back
|
I was mentally ill, it's hard to come back from that
|
But I got through it now I got my sanity back
|
|
Y'all are like H-B-O fighters, get the money and fame
|
and you get beat up like Klitschko and Sugar Shane
|
Or get beat like Vernon Forrest or Prince Naseem
|
Yeah you all turn pussy once you get that green
|
|
I got love for Havoc from Mobb Deep
|
When I was broke sleepin' in the street
|
He hooked me up with a free beat
|
Alchemist you still my little buddy
|
Even though you stole that Royce the 5"9 The King beat from me
|
|
I ain't down to sign autographs and shake ya hands
|
I don't want trendy ass followers as fans
|
I don't wanna sell records, I don't wanna be big
|
I don't want MTV runnin' up in my crib
|
I don't wanna be liked in the music biz
|
I don't want fans that don't know who G Rap is
|
|
|
"Here's a little story I got ta tell"

|
"Here's a little story I got ta tell"

"I am the legendary"
