Lowkey, Doc Brown - Put The Mic Down lyrics

Yeah, I don't even know about
This rapper thing anymore, man
I don't even know if I'm on this 'ting man
Listen up! It's not really me anymore, man
Na'-what I mean? yeah yeah!

Ever since eleven this rap shit meant
Everything! It was like the mic in my
Hand was a wedding ring
Don't get it twisted, it ain't my wife!
It's bigger than that at some point
It became my life! Me and my friends used to
Argue over songs we'd preferred
As rappers back then, all we wanted
Was to be heard i'd spit for hours just to
Make sure you'd recognize
Hoping one day I'd hear myself on 2-7-9
To tell the truth
I couldn't tell it was whack then
Cause everyone rapped in American accents
(Holla) but, still I wanted to blow
In a hurry my friend
Looking back it's funny, Cuzzy
Cause I was hungrier then!
We aimed to change the game
Lyrically raise-the bar
Take over the whole industry, make-it-ours!
Frequently I think about what this
Rap game means to me but I can't lie
(Can't lie) , all of that changed recently
When you feel you've seen it all before
All the music ain't raw no-more
Feel to put the mic down feel to put it down
When you bare your soul rapping a verse
And you gettin' nothing back in return
What's it worth? Need to take some time out!
Feel to put it down, feel to put it down
Feel to put it down
Feel to put it down, feel to put it down
Blud, I'm going crazy right now like
I'm breaking right down
Need to take some time out, all
The pain in my house
Probably make me wile out
Feel to change my life around and
Place the mic down, come on!

Yo
I was a raw spitter, before an award winner
Before these fraudulent frauds were
All in her maybe the fact is
This rap shit distracted me
Took away time I should of had with my family
I can go do a show
But then it's back to reality
Back to feeling alone and
Trapped in insanity
Now I can hear myself when I tune into Choice
But, can't do fifty-minute shows
Without losing my voice!
I used to be so determined to earn respect!
Now I'm sitting here all messed up
(Pfft) a nervous wreck!
I haven't learnt my lessons
(No) I don't deserve success
It doesn't matter as long as when I'm gone
My words are left
I'm really only known truly by, certain heads
Excluding them, fuck what any other
Person says! (Fuck 'em)
'N fuck a psychiatrist, or psychologist
I don't need someone I don't know
Telling me what my problem is
When you feel you've seen it all before
All the music ain't raw no-more
Feel to put the mic down feel to put it down
When you bare your soul rapping a verse
And you gettin' nothing back in return
What's it worth? Need to take some time out!
Feel to put it down, feel to put it down
Feel to put it down
Feel to put it down, feel to put it down
Blud, I'm going crazy right now like
I'm breaking right down
Need to take some time out, all
The pain in my house
Probably make me wile out
Feel to change my life around and
Place the mic down, come on!
