Esham - Do U Still Believe lyrics
[Esham - Do U Still Believe lyrics]
(Filthy Rockwell, I'm from another planet)
Baby, do you believe in me?
Won't you believe in me?
I know it's hard to believe
this industry is heartless
And they don't give a fuck
'bout no rap artist
They'll have you in court
bringin' up some charges
About your rap whether it's true
Or not regardless
I'm Godlike so I know who God is
Detroit the hardest to ever
Come out was NATAS
You doin' good, do better
You need to stay better
Never teasin' my people with
Wealth like Mayweather
They killed Tupac and Biggie
Then give awards to Iggy
I'm underground, I write the
Dopest shit, they like, "Who is he?"
Bill Yen, if I had a billion
I would take it to the ghetto
Give it to the children
I know my words are weapons
But ain't no half-steppin'
Big Daddy Kane was my teacher
And I learned my lessons
My uncle Chuck D, you can't fuck with my
My whole family tree, I been a public enemy
And I'm from NYC by way of 313, the D-E T
Save me, I'll say to you
Won't you believe in me
Like I believe in you?
After all the things you put me through
Won't you believe in me
Like I believe in you?
I miss my uncle Eazy-E, he was ruthless
That's why I got the coupe, and it's ruthless
Man, he told me what the truth is
And truth is
Niggas still dyin' to be in show biz
I miss my uncle Pimp C
That's why I'm in the coupe right now
And my tank never empty
There's more to life than money and the music
Is just like a drug
You can't abuse it when you use it
Too many real niggas gone but not forgotten
You mad at your daddy, little nigga
You spoiled rotten he put it down on the
Streets so you could eat
So I don't wanna hear you
Talk down when you speak
He bought the first pair of
Jordan's on your feet
Took you to your football practices
And bought your cleats
Respect that man, go and shake his hand
Tell him, "Than you, dog"
Save me, I'll say to you
Won't you believe in me
Like I believe in you?
After all the things you put me through
Won't you believe in me
Like I believe in you?
(Do you believe, like, like I do?)
Baby, do you believe in me?
(I believe in, I believe in)
Won't you believe in me?
I know it's hard to believe
In angels surrounded by demons
You're sleep walkin' talkin' in your sleep
But you're dreamin' and everywhere you go it
Seems somebody be schemin'
For no God damn reason, it just be the season
But bad things happen to good people
And good things happen to bad
People all the time
It's just the world we livin' in
And it's so evil
And it's so beautiful at the same time
I know it sound funny comin' from me
Because the nut don't fall too
Far from the tree
I'm jus trying to say the way it should be
So you all don't fuck up the same as me
I'm just droppin' these jewels for free
'Cause, I've been to the mountaintop
And I can see
It ain't no doors locked for free
'Cause, I get through 'em all
With a skeleton key
Save me, I'll say to you
Won't you believe in me
Like I believe in you?
After all the things you put me through
Won't you believe in me
Like I believe in you?
Baby, do you believe in me?
Baby, do you believe in me?
Won't you believe in me?
I know it's hard to believe
this industry is heartless
And they don't give a fuck
'bout no rap artist
They'll have you in court
bringin' up some charges
About your rap whether it's true
Or not regardless
I'm Godlike so I know who God is
