Cormega - Rap Basquiat lyrics

Niggas fronting so I'm coming back
Spitting that shit that had
Pookie doing jumping jacks
Getting money when you
Was watching Thundercats
We not the same my lifestyle
Ain't come from rap
Until recently, instinctively I must adapt
The bars are hard but
I'm easily crushing tracks
Even elite rappers fall back when Cory rap
Truth is spoken you can't ignore the fact
I'm vocally gifted the confidence is obvious
I'm showing you glimpses
Growth of potential require total commitment
Those that say I don't come around
I'm home with my children
On some real shit I'm no longer dealing
And I don't fuck with
Anyone showing resentment
Can talk that shit walking
I'm focused and driven
In life nothing is given so
I'm going to get it

I'm a different pedigree poetically
Those who momentarily slept
You just encouraged me to take it
To a level rarely seen
Apparently rappers lack the intensity that
You presently hear from me
It's a unique ability to
Speak with sincerity
I'm deep with lyrics giving
The streets clarity
Lack of patience will have you catching cases
And when you free
Resiliency converts negative energy
To inner peace
Enables me to realize I'm blessed to
Be able to live successfully
On something that was just a dream yesterday
Tomorrow wasn't promised but I'm here today
Which illustrates how far skill'll take you
If you got the will to make
It to the realm of greatness
Can be reached through dedication
And desire inspired by deep determination
Keeps me motivated
Like faithless motherfuckers
Praying I don't make it 'cause
They ain't eating and tasteless

Rappers be hatin
I'm creating like Anthony Mason
And if you waiting for me to fail
You have to be patient I lack limitation
I can turn a bad situation to rap innovation
My pen advances the paper enhancing my way up
Life I'm actually grateful I made it
'Cause scheming away a situation
Aiming for greatness is a journey
Not a destination
Preparation is what separates me from those
With self doubt and reservation
Should know hesitation delays elevation
And shows why they never made it
Let me explain it
Dedication is a measure of
Strength and character
Like a diamond, pressure can't break me
