Who You Think I Am? Lyrics

[00:02.17] Who you think I am, but who you want me to be?
[00:09.83] ...When I rock, jock niggaz in shellshock
[00:11.96] Don't watch the birdie watch the clock go tick tock
[00:14.56] I rip shop, I make ya girls bottom lip drop
[00:16.92] Yo word to the truckers at the pit stop I'm hip hop
[00:19.29] I hold heat, never forget what niggaz told me they showed me
[00:22.13] Other emcees trying to fold me they owe me
[00:24.42] Yo plus them niggaz mad slow gee
[00:26.27] I got my "Get U Now" so I'm comin with my homie
[00:28.42] Here's the plan: stick 'em up, I enter, through the window
[00:31.23] Stoop down so we can't see our crescendo
[00:33.44] Pass the indo, yo we used to be our friend though
[00:36.23] Yeah but thats the reason I dont really like to lend dough
[00:37.79] From the corners cylindrical triangle hats
[00:39.59] As dutch lyrics precise life wring dem from science
[00:41.49] Leave you entangled for months
[00:42.96] Tryin to figure who done it, you fronted
[00:44.16] Got cha shit stunted, didn't have to be that way
[00:45.73] Some saw the light comin in, they shunned it
[00:47.04] For the wickedness to those whose despise life and worship death
[00:49.14] The established matched at eye for eye, tooth for tooth, breath to breath
[00:51.52] These are the last days of the countdown, shit is just that drastic
[00:53.77] Write journals, like they use the prophets, study math like a Aztec
[00:56.28] Loved not for who you think I am, but who you want me to be
[00:59.60] A true thuggin emcee, true thugs, with no strings attached
[01:02.74] I wanna give you my slugs and don't wanna take em
[01:05.40] Box sprays, but with my box cutter in my boxes
[01:07.57] Shots sprayed, who on cops high says we? rosses?
[01:09.96] Rock away boulevard, got love and? knoxus?
[01:12.07] Bout five cops today, my rock away
[01:14.07] Niggaz and rock rage, got paid
[01:15.43] A rock, you know why I rock, meet me at the? lobses?
[01:17.70] I suggest I should dress proper
[01:19.03] Copped a buzz, I copped a dutch
[01:20.60] I got a lotta love, with no strings attached
[01:24.02] Rhymes, rhymes, rhymes, we got plenty
[01:26.33] Times, times, times, too many
[01:28.84] Sparked up and chat, you keep countin
[01:30.94] I do my thing, jealous niggaz keep doubtin
[01:33.21] Rock 'n' roll, lock 'n' load
[01:35.36] Emcees out for pots of gold, we stop 'em cold
[01:38.28] In they tracks an take all they? jipsuses?
[01:40.56] All they dats, all they bullshit mixeses
[01:42.99] Give 'em a credit, not debt it
[01:44.77] We just flipped the calistetic
[01:46.35] Toss the andy pettitte, you said it
[01:47.78] We grandslam in the never boss stand
[01:49.84] Any pussy emcee's we abandon
[01:51.92] Flew in from Monster Island just to rag shit wit jet lag
[01:54.22] With brothers specializin ways how us not to get bagged
[01:56.68] Egads! I bring confusion like roll call
[01:58.97] To emcees so-called, hoes be like "yup I told y'all"
[02:01.24] So socialize my bio so I dip dip dive
[02:03.66] Memorize like I-omega zip drive
[02:05.95] Go to the bar to drink to get soberer
[02:07.84] King Ghidra eat the head of a king cobra like king koba
[02:10.70] Kong get a cut like Kobe, now hold heat
[02:12.76] So sweet, roll deep but no beef
[02:14.41] Those that doze deep, close sheets
[02:16.27] Po chose to speak with, reach over to reload the piece
[02:18.73] Slip from freak to deak, keep concrete
[02:20.79] Parallel to body til the next male
[02:22.21] Shotties and hotty, still waitin to exhale
[02:24.34] Smell the blood bath a slugs caught
[02:26.22] Slugs passed and bloodsport
[02:27.61] Bugged laugh, a bugged thought
[02:28.76] Caught some eyes make the case last stack a locker
[02:31.17] Bocker, drink a vodka, hit note, like Sinatra at a opera
[02:33.65] Drop a flocker, Orville Redenbocher
[02:35.21] Get you, got you, shot the two L's without the proper
[02:37.37] For the? abus? knocker
[02:40.02] Hit the liquor, quicker than a quicker picker upper
[02:41.79] Girl and stick er, I leave more nuts than a snicker
[02:43.73] Kick er to the curb, punk a bitch, stomp a chick
[02:45.42] For now call me Kong, Monster Isle, Monster Click (Bow!)
[02:47.87] Loved not for who you think I am, but who you want me to be
[02:51.19] True thuggin emcee, true thugs, with no strings attached
[02:54.60] I wanna give you my slugs, and don't wanna take 'em back
[02:58.81]
