Close to Famous Lyrics

[00:20.21] Ayo, don't even worry 'bout it, my legendary styling
[00:23.65] Between Harry Belafonte and Harry Allen
[00:26.34] I'm from a city where it's violent and it's overcrowded
[00:28.88] I put it on the map, y'all ain't even know about it
[00:31.45] I brought the poet out it, the soul flowing out
[00:33.89] Made it hard to figure how y'all managed to go without it
[00:36.52] A mic with a cord, I never do a show without it
[00:39.28] When dealing with force, I lift 'em up and throw 'em out
[00:41.63] I know the way to go the route, show you what a soldier 'bout
[00:44.48] Big boy arms, I'm holding out, clips folding out
[00:46.85] Used to be a lil' snot nose, but I'm older now
[00:49.53] You can try what you want, I'll show you what I don't allow
[00:52.27] Fuck all the runaround, you on a hunting ground
[00:54.97] You spit a hundred bars, I spit a hundred rounds
[00:57.45] You run a hundred yards tryna get out of bounds
[00:59.96] That's when I tackle y'all and show you how the thunder sounds
[01:02.76] Bang ya as we approach the danger
[01:05.15] With beats that awoke the anger
[01:06.96] And I ain't know the music was supposed to change us
[01:09.62] But when I start spitting, this shit is so contagious
[01:12.19] It smokes the pages, I literally spoke to sages
[01:15.43] They said it's no hope to save us
[01:17.45] 'Cause we the bad guys, you supposed to blame us
[01:20.04] But nowadays, everybody close to famous
[01:22.58] But stop modeling and wild styling's in the wind like an allergen
[01:26.03] Y'all motherfuckers could forget about challenging
[01:28.72] I blind rappers like a magnified halogen
[01:31.54] You tryna tussle with the truth, how about it then?
[01:34.00] I am light-years beyond, not behind the line
[01:36.88] I'm what separates dumb from truly divine
[01:39.27] Get me a Crystal Head vodka with a twist of lime
[01:41.72] Then watch rappers get smoked like a nick of thyme
[01:44.53] I will bring it to your doorstep, pick a time
[01:47.02] I will put you in a body bag, kick a rhyme
[01:49.81] Niggas sick, but they not near as sick as I am
[01:52.29] Rappers is slick, but they not near slick as I am
[01:54.91] I don't give a flying, stop signifying
[01:57.43] Stop speaking into the mic and die dignified
[02:00.27] I'm that insecticide, pesticide, genocide
[02:02.75] You in the morgue, absolutely identified
[02:05.72]
