作曲 : Brother Ali
And I promise if you take me home,
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
Said come on baby, throw me a bone,
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
And I promise if you take me home,
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
Said come on baby, throw me a bone,
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
I'ma tell you something... about me, heheh
That's my favorite subject, I don't know if you picked up on that yet or not
I never said I had a business mind
I just don't believe that quitting time exists, ain't no finish line to this
You got to give me mine, I really shine, my given time is this
Live and die with the grind, driven by the fist
Where you do place my name if I never played your game?
We don't race the same, I don't run inside no painted lane
Plus y'all pace is strange, y'all either stop or you sprint
Run when it's sunny and hide if it change to rain
I wouldn't be half the Ali that I am
if I slowed myself up and tried competing with these people, fam
I'm every bit as unconcerned as they are unprepared
Market flooded, needless to say I wasn't scared
Let's all drop the same day, I don't ******* care
Put listening stations in the store and let the public hear
Better yet, let's have an in-store performance
Make it oranges to oranges, me dwarfin' your endurance
After that we'll shoot the **** with our supporters
and see how many more discs of yours the indie stores order
See you already know I out-rap 'em
On the low, we out-work, out-think, and out-class them
And I promise if you take me home,
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
Said come on baby, throw me a bone,
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
And I promise if you take me home,
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
Said come on baby, throw me a bone,
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
Nobody's doing this thing exactly like we do.
I mean they do it, they just ain't doing it exactly like us, you know what I'm saying?
Sucker-ass ************
My personal pedigree's so bona fide,
'Cause a man of my stature ain't grown overnight
The undisputed king of where poor folks reside
Because every time I speak there'll be hope vocalized in you
Sit and ***** with them chickens about "it isn't fair"
The sound system ain't ****, but I was crystal clear
We first-name basis with soundmen, we bring 'em beer
Plus I tipped 'em fifty last semester when the clique was here
Listen here, I ain't going give you all the secrets
Just these few examples help me illustrate my pretense
Our strength is unrelated to your weakness
'Cause you'll never be a worthy pool of peers to be competed with
I sing my **** with Son House and Syl Johnson
and always lose, I done lost face too
but I'm sporting they shoes, so let me remind you
them little kicks you're trying to fit,
we outgrew them ****s in high school
And I promise if you take me home,
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
Said come on baby, throw me a bone,
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
And I promise if you take me home,
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
Said come on baby, throw me a bone,
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
I don't think I'm arrogant, man, I think just I'm, you know
I dos what the **** I does, man, and it's just..
you can kiss my ass, all I care
It's of foremost importance,
There is none like unto the Brother Al
This ************ regardless, and stop all the nonsense
You see me lounging, call Rhymesayer's office, I've officially lost it
They say my reputation precedes me
I don't know the meaning of off-season, I ain't taking it easy
Ain't taking a day off, never had a off night
Never been laid off, I live on the job site
It all pays off, though, when I squint through the spotlight
and see your lips are moving to the true shit that I write
and we going be all right, every night of my life is my night
'Cause I view the future like it's hindsight
I ain't waiting on patiently persevering
I see greatness in the person in the mirror very clearly
and that's why I take this seriously
Baby, come near to me and truly, truly hear me
And I promise if you take me home,
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
Said come on baby, throw me a bone,
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
And I promise if you take me home,
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
Said come on baby, throw me a bone,
I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
