Ransom - These Three Words lyrics
[Ransom - These Three Words lyrics]
These three words sweet and simple
These three words sweet and simple
These three words
Greatest rapper alive's what I'm
Destined to be i would never understand why
They questionin' me
Ask me if I'm the best
I tell 'em definitely, the best I can be
And I do it consecutively talkin' to Jay
Told me I should be next on that list
That nigga Nas
Said it can't get much better than this
You thinkin' follows and likes'll make
A record a hit
You thinkin' bottles on ice'll get
Respect for ya shit
Before Biggie was killin' 'em
With them raw flows
Before Bone was meetin' us at Tha Crossroads
Before Suge was showin' out at award shows
I was breakin' night, tryin' to make it
Only the Lord knows
This ain't a feelin' I'm tryin' to force
Bro
It's just a feelin' I can't ignore, yo
Remember them 5 mics at The Source though?
I been a legend before they
Took me to court though
Since day one I been givin' you all I had
Since buttin' heads with Joe
And freestylin' with Fab
Since breakin' up with Hitch and
Sellin' drugs on the Ave
I fell in love with the craft
A felon thug with a past
At last, everything that I worked hard for
Is worth more than what's sittin'
In my garage door
Is worth more than a verse that
I had to charge for
I went from hardcore to the greatest art form
Notice the skills that I demonstrated
And changed the minds of the biggest haters
My friends said, "Don't forget us when you
Get big and famous" i said
"Would you remember me if
I didn't make it?"
These three words I would die for
Greatest rapper alive is what I strive for
While others chase the money
Bitches and limelight
I'm in the studio makin'
Sure every rhyme tight
Verse here, 'nother verse there
A crazy metaphor that I dropped
On the 3rd snare
I'm tryin' to get it right
Makin' sure that the words clear
'Cause, if they don't get it
I swear is my worse fear
Yeah, I know it seem simple
The mind is so sacred
I'm holdin' onto my temple
And I can see the hatred
You holdin' onto is mental
You people gotta face it
I'm lacin' this instrumental
Block, let it breathe on 'em
God bless 'em, but I ain't sneeze on 'em
How you measure them three words?
Greatest rapper alive
You think I never deserved? Yeah, let's go
How you measure them three words?
Greatest rapper alive
This nigga must got some nerve
These three words sweet and simple
These three words short and kind
These three words sweet and simple
These three words
Greatest rapper alive's what I'm
Destined to be i would never understand why
They questionin' me
Ask me if I'm the best
I tell 'em definitely, the best I can be
And I do it consecutively talkin' to Jay
Told me I should be next on that list
