Royce da 5'9" - Independent's Day lyrics

Yeah, yeah
Well it's the uhh, uhh, abbrevia-ated letter
Associated with meta-metapho-phores and
Cheddar cheddar the COD, the POP
The "cash on delivery" at the "point of
Purchase" - don't I be workin'?
Heaven and hell is standin' next to
You at the same time
Cuttin' into your playin' time, keep playin'
(playin')
Most of my predictions is speculation
Based on the patience
I've developed hustlin'
Racin' this check I'm chasin' (chasin')
Sellin' mixtapes to them albums from
30 to 50 thousand (wow)
It ain't no problem, I got it
My following got me (got me)
Long as I continue to spit poems
To send you niggas back to the L-A-B
I'mma be sellin out venues


Be out at them venues, sellin that merch'
Shippin' CD's overseas
Nigga we sellin' that work
The Escrow crew, just ran by the petro man
Select don't know who the check go to
'Round here here, 'round here, 'round here
'Round here they call me independie
'Cause of how independent my pen be
Movin' on that paper, movin' that paper
Uhh, uhh, 'round here, here, here
'Round here they call me independie
'Cause of how independent my pen be, uhh
We be on that paper like ink on that paper
Uhh

You can call it the quickest winter
The unstoppable summer
The opposite of the apocalypse
Comin' to popular wanna be poppin' this gun
He about to be doin' some old
Impossible Three 6 Mafia numbers
Each quarter like the Beach
Boys or the Beatle
The Parliament globally callin the
Shots explodin 'til 'Pac
Roll all the way over, respectfully hate me
You best to behave
I'm seven dollars a record makin' heftier pay
Can you realize platinum artist buck by buck
Is that what you say?
200 thousand sold compared to
The average platinum rapper
Couldn't afford, what I blow on all my taxes
'Cause I own my own masters
Own my own catalogue
Ain't tryna be old talkin' 'bout "Oh
I had it all"
So it's mo' money, mo' albums, add 'em all
The scanner that seal is the reason I
Feel like a man of steel
Still standin' 'cause I'm still scannin'
'Round here here, 'round here, 'round here
'Round here they call me independie
'Cause of how independent my pen be
Movin' on that paper, movin' that paper
Uhh, uhh, 'round here, here, here
'Round here they call me independie
'Cause of how independent my pen be, uhh
We be on that paper like ink on that paper
Uhh

Y'know I always like to say that
This album is like a median
Between "Death is Certain, " and "Rock City"
But along that way
I manage to find my independence
So that's where we at right now
Royce Da 5'9", "Independent's Day"
Whattup Broady
You know'm talkin' 'bout Broady?
Niggas act like I ain't know they
Ass as I want to these unit's will move
I will be on that TV screen
I will be ridin' through a hood near you
Gettin' some attention from yo' bitch, hahaha
MIC, oh yeah and we comin'
Back again this year too
We not gon' be sittin' out for
Long periods of time no more
So be on the look out for "July 5th"
Comin' soon to a motherfuckin store near you
'Round here, here, here "Let me see
Two words to sum up my name in reality –
Growth and patience, y'know they work
Hand-in hand with each other
But at the same time they both
Deal with movin' forward i just
Try to keep some bit's about
Myself 24 hours a
Day y'knowmsayin? I been through a lot and if
It's one thing I can say that I learned
It'll be stay bossy i'm a boss, boss, boss"
