Tech N9ne, Krizz Kaliko - Can't Shake It lyrics

Another piece that I wrote, about me
Being stuck in my ways, yeah

And I can't give up what I'm in love with
I guess I'm a mess and I just can't shake it
(I just can't change what I am)

What did I do to be so wrong?
Could I be so different? Is there a remedy?
Will you be forgivin' me?
'Cause this ain't my life
Or the way it was supposed to be
Waiting here for you to come and tell me
What I do so wrong?

Listen to me, this talent was given to me
By his omnipotence, so dig it
Music is livin' through me
Even through prisons I've arisen he
Big and is in movies ism is if his is a hit
The vision isn't beauty for women
When I'm writin' I'm winnin'
So excitin' I'm grinnin'
Then you strike and now
The fights are beginnin'
I gotta be sharp as a knife when
I'm on the mic and you sinnin'
By stiflin' my spinnin'
What imaginary life has you been in?
By thinkin' you be the reason
No speakin' to you this evenin'
I'm deep in this music reachin' for
The piece I dilute the season
But, you be illin' because my
Attention you truly stealin'
Pursue the millions
Come in second-would you be willin'?
Don't think so
You be thinkin' time and I think dough
Love is what you need from me
But in time it'll shrink mo'
'Cause, I be on the grind for
This rhyme and the ink flow
I go for mine and you think it's a crime
And I think "WHOA"

And I can't give up what I'm in love with
I guess I'm a mess and I just can't shake it
(I just can't change what I am)
And I can't give up what I'm in love with
I guess I'm a mess and I just can't shake it
(I just can't change what I am)

Everything in my closet is black
White and red most of my homies was bosses
But got life or dead
Now I move in they shadows but
I got the mic and bread
But this life it seem ya destiny
Is a knife or lead
Yes I was brought up in a Christian house
But my mother marrying a Muslim
Threw the Christian out
And what they did to Malcolm
X threw the Islam out
So my homies with money seemed
To be the glistenin' route
What I found was funerals and I
Found it was real friends
But, I paid attention and then I
Found it was real men
Takin' care of their families
Automatically built in
Riskin' they life in the street as
Long as the wheel spin
So, what I gathered from it
Is simply my prerogative
I only wish the organization
Was more positive
I maintain, and continue to gain thangs
I bust and I claim Strange but
I'm reppin' the gang bang

And I can't give up what I'm in love with
I guess I'm a mess and I just can't shake it
(I just can't change what I am)
And I can't give up what I'm in love with
I guess I'm a mess and I just can't shake it
(I just can't change what I am)
