Tonedeff, DJ JS-1 - Competitive Nature lyrics

I want to win at all costs
Till every son of a bitch that
Snubbed the kid is long gone
And every fucking sin on my
Bucket list is crossed off
I’m an all-star on a loaded roster that
Got off to a false start
But then stalled in the wrong
Ballpark, Had a major shot
Played to a strong draw
But, I was X’d out probable Kaws? Art
I ain’t just good, kid
I’m the top dog with a loud bark
When I want a moment of silence… I’ll
Ask you what my flaws are and in the end
Niggas post up frozen like Narduwar
Rock star with the flow!
Poser bros get exposed
As popular frauds who can only come
With an image like Don Jon
Sharkeisha period, When there’s blood
In the water, i drop jaws
An ensemble that’s authentic
Cast as non-credited extras in the
Hip Hop documentary yawn-a-thon
I’m here to re-edit
Embed it with everything QN5 is on
Preventive measures are taken
So there’s a bar lost
My competitive nature’s mistaken for hate
I caught y’all
Big fish in a small-pond niggas singing our
Swan song
Isn’t this typical? It’s all our fault
Witness the business move as they outlaw salt
When favors were called on, in a pinch
That’s all y’all brought to the mix
So now history is just false by default
With the industry’s trickery now them
Broad lies is bought
But the sense of vengeance
Within me’s killing me
I oughta find the resolve to let it go

There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done
There’s nothing you can win that can’t be won
Don’t want it anymore, so I gotta let it go

There’s nothing you can sing
That can’t be sung
There’s nothing you can bring
That can’t be brung don’t want it anymore
So I gotta let it go of my competitive nature
I gotta let it go of my competitive nature
I can’t make you love me - no!
I gotta let it go of my competitive nature
I gotta let it go of my competitive nature

See, everybody wanna be the best -
But do none of the work
Leave you to cook dinner then
Come for the desert
Well there’s nothing they can
Do that I can’t
But that doesn’t work in reverse
Ain’t another person on earth this versatile
When I turn a verse
I let Polymer serve the purpose
To further confirm these terms
But it won’t -
Cause sheep think everyone is the
GOAT - ya heard?
And the herd has heard of me
But they never heard me and it’s tragic
This urban legend gets censored –press has
Cursed me with a past and I’m banned
Because the word "veteran" is
The dirtiest in rap
And then with my level of longevity - I
Never tire when I kick the facts
They reinvent the wheel – Auto Tune
It to fix the flat
Here's a single comparison - Let’s
Mix and match –
Now dig the pattern: When they get to smoke
They’ll take 2 hit's and pass
But by the metronome
Niggas’ll get two clicks and gasp
With no breath control
Now they’re a vegetable
These pussy liars get put on a pedestal
Expect that Tone average 6 bars in a breath
And it’s a spectacle, Shit’s off the wall
Like it was a Pettis blow
Tell me you heard somebody better
Bro! Now dead it, yo
The best technical rapper alive! What
Do I gain from it? I’ll comfortably say
"Nothing" when it comes to the paying public
If someone with cake does it
It’s suddenly gangbusters
So, fuck who you name, buddy
Who’s buzzing’ll change dozens of times
In a case study – if one of us gains love
We’re divided
We chase money and become what we
Hate for something we like

I used to watch these awards shows
With tears in my eyes
Cause, I was supposed to be there in my mind
And here were these guys
Who’d appear overnight
That’d be stealing my shine
And I had spent so many years of my time
Recording and performing
And writing lyrics since 9
Shit my career was my life
Failure was death
Son I’d only disappear if I die
We’re talking serious drive - off of a cliff
No partner assist or inept investors
Who'd be steering him wide
Y'all hearing them rhymes? Shit's clearly a
Crime – they’re scarier live
So, when some other peer would get signed
It would spear me inside
Stressed and depressed behind the
Veneer of my smile
But, I had to face the facts so
Let me put a mirror to mine
See, my fear is to lay - in a coffin
After I’d accomplished
Only a fraction of my thoughts and
Feel cheated of all my progress
So cheer me on till the funeral
Here we are in the rawness:
See those that have what you want
Did what you knew could do
But couldn’t cause it wouldn’t be true to you
You don’t wanna make music
For douchey dudes? Then
Do whatever suit's you - it's cool
But the proof’s in the putting
You moved in them shoes

If there’s an improvement in you - money who
In the fuck is you losing to?
So, test your limit's and pursue
The goals that you control
The only assertion about winning shit
That you should know -
Is success will determine if
You're driven or delusional peace

Broken arrow good for nothing when
There's nothing left to slay
Let these torn and tattered close impose
Their stories on the stains
Oh, they're aiming for me now
They want proof I know my way
Around a bow & arrow
Let these torn and tattered close impose
Their stories on the stains
