[Foster, The Pranksters, Royce da 5'9" - Live As It Gets lyrics]
A matter of time 'fore you
Rappers get shook down
A ladder to climb higher than
You should look down a pattern of crime
Might inspire the hood now
Let 'em look around
I'm showing 'em how it could sound
It's just a throwback to my younger days
Back to open mics, when I was still underage
Still hear the hunger pains, misfit's
Runaways way too gutter to give a
Fuck what the numbers say
Right about now, I'ma need a reaction
Or at least of gallon of
Gasoline and a matchstick
Burn it all down, industry full of catfish
Flash in the pan, has-beens
I'm the blacklist
What happens when you ain't
Ass kissin' the wackness
And I'ma be another rapper dead
For poppin' off at the mouth with
Shit I shouldn't have said
'til then, it ain't over 'til I put it to bed
And this is live as it gets
Lost in a world between my days and nights
I'll take you there but will
You take my side?
I know they watching, can't escape their eye
You playing by the rules
I say you fools are wastin' time
Uh, the sawed-off 'bout to lift y'all all
'bout to disregard law
Just to piss y'all off
I could diss y'all all
I'm the shit so don't get smoked
Around this bitch, I could piss Pall Mall
Call me Nick, not short for Santa Claus
If I wanna shine, I could get Paul Wall
But never do I back down, not a chance
I will smack down like my hand
On a ass on a private
Dancei got a problem with the whole Earth
I'm short from rock bottom
With no growth spurts
Stomach burnin', no ulcer
No earnin', court is adjourned, no sir
Suit's and ties, dodging lies and logic
I've been tried, me and vibes is vibin'
You couldn't dream my dreams
You couldn't daydream my theme
Feel my pain 'cause
Lost in a world between my days and nights
I'll take you there but will
You take my side?
I know they watching, can't escape their eye
You playing by the rules
I say you fools are wastin' time
Rappers get shook down
A ladder to climb higher than
You should look down a pattern of crime
Might inspire the hood now
Let 'em look around
I'm showing 'em how it could sound
It's just a throwback to my younger days
