Illy - Guess I Could lyrics

Yeah i'ma let these other dudes talk
About how they're the best
I'm just gonna get right into it and prove it
Phazes, you ready? Then let's go

I'd say I'm back but I never left
And I could say I'm right but I never guessed
I could talk shit for days but I never would
But, I could if I wanted
Yeah I guess I could
I'd say I'm back but I never left
And I could say I'm right but I never guessed
I could talk shit for days but I never would
But, I could if I wanted
Yeah I guess I could

It's Illy Illy, yeah back again
Backing it up
Sophomore slum not happening, chum
Still ride through the Frankston
Line in my VX system cranked to all fuck
Black cap with the hoodie up
I got 'em tripping like I stuck my foot out
Turnaround so quick 'cause it reads so sick
That my rhymebook is hard to put down
But, it's always a safe bet that anything
I put out's how Hip-Hop should sound
They used to tell me my vocal
Chords didn't warrant a snowballs chance
Ain't got a snowball no more man
I got an avalanche
Look at what I created with
My two bare hands, when given half a chance
I'm representing the future
So I don't need no guest
Verses to prove shit
Just talented producers
Phizzle we still killing em before he
Hit the tarmac to split
Left me some classic boombap
As a parting gift thanks for that, took it
Ran with it and I never looked back
I put my patch smack bang on a map
Burn city where you at?

I'd say I'm back but I never left
And I could say I'm right but I never guessed
I could talk shit for days but I never would
But, I could if I wanted
Yeah I guess I could
I'd say I'm back but I never left
And I could say I'm right but I never guessed
I could talk shit for days but I never would
But, I could if I wanted
Yeah I guess I could

Raised middle finger to your raised nose
Home sweet home on a beat
I make 'em move like the rates rose
I know whats up
Whats nothing and what matters most
I ain't acting what I'm not
Knowing that I don't, never that
I take none of this for granted
The privilege ain't lost on me
It's common knowledge any minute
It could stop (shit)
So even when humility is
Tossed with the brags
Still always thanks given for the props
In this chase that I'm on, the road's steep
I could tell you 'bout the peaks, the lows
Little bit about the nosebleeds
A little bit about weekends on no sleep
Or jumping deep ends with both feet
But, it's worth it for my folks' smiles
When I tell them bout my nights
Or the front row reciting
Back every single line
Or the people thanking me for
The lyrics that I write
Y'all pretty much validate the last
Decade of my life humble thank you
For round two I've been run
Ragged but I must add
Don't call it a comeback, 'cause um, yeah
About that

I'd say I'm back but I never left
And I could say I'm right but I never guessed
I could talk shit for days but I never would
But, I could if I wanted
Yeah I guess I could
I'd say I'm back but I never left
And I could say I'm right but I never guessed
I could talk shit for days but I never would
But, I could if I wanted
Yeah I guess I could

I took my hobby, made a job of it and honest
See the plane in the sky
Or tune into the J's, man I'm probably on it
But still broke mate, my quotables
Have earnt me self-satisfaction and a
Few beers at my local
Slice of humble pie, shit I
Lick the plate dry, but hey
Not being big headed ain't easy
With a size eight
The time took to refresh the page
We stood on our yesterdays triumphs
Leapt fences in the way, now
Danny's international, Phazes' international
J-Skub's a genius, Phrase is an animal
Flag goes the business
Me? I'm kicking goals from a distance
Crooked Eye on that bullshit big shit
I'm like a proud brother watching
All my peers doin' it
Still get a kick when kids
Say my music influenced 'em
I promise I won't stop until it ain't just
The fellas who be getting my
Lyrics tattoo'd on 'em, huh
I celebrate the past but can't wait
For the future to start
Raise a glass for my graduating class like

I'd say I'm back but I never left
And I could say I'm right but I never guessed
I could talk shit for days but I never would
But, I could if I wanted
Yeah I guess I could
I'd say I'm back but I never left
And I could say I'm right but I never guessed
I could talk shit for days but I never would
But, I could if I wanted
Yeah I guess I could

Man, I ain't even give you
Time to miss me man
Straight back into it, shit
I ain't even left the booth
Since Long Story Short, man
We do this shit like no one else does it
Crooked Eye, man
