lyrics

4. BEEN DEAD One fall away, another
one takes it’s place/ No need to run
for cover, cause there aint nowhere
safe/ Tell your people, we be lethal,
better hear what I said/ You can’t
kill it homie, it’s already been dead/
It’s been dead. Y’all been dead.
my payment for playing this game,
should be those golden pawns/ the
way I make this moves for king is a
legend, gone gone/ away for 20 to
life, i got 20 on your life/ even ceelo
hate you homie, get it, no dice/
precisely, why i hate rappers who call
themselves emcee’s/ the name is
dead like the those idols you wanna
be/ it’s over from where i’m standing,
on the roof with a mini cannon/
shooting film, for the you tube to be
imagined/ captain, i think your ship is
sinking/ nah yawl tripping again, and
making excuses for dripping/ Yeah
I’ll spin into a coma, while driving a
bulldozer/ the size of california, like
your players, i’m the owner/ don’t be
alarmed, when the auto pilot kicks
in/ i need these hands to play these
drums and sharpen my weapons/
friends gather round, the enemies in
your stereo/ get em get em get em,
let them die real slow
(chorus)
One fall away, another one takes
it’s place/ No need to run for cover,
cause there aint nowhere safe/ Tell
your people, we be lethal, better hear
what I said/ You can’t kill it homie, it’s
already been dead/ It’s been dead.
Y’all been dead.
those sticks could start a blaze if ya’ll
played it the right way/ straight into
the future with hopes of shorter days/
my grind don’t need 24, it needs
lucky 13/ a john cash theme, spread
through my whole team/ we walk the
line, to be cliche and catchy/ Pray
that we find our june carter jacki’s/
Benjarvis with the beat, you seem
never see me fumble her/ old for my
age, like what the - is a tumblr?/ too
busy for my space, but still lazy like
a mumbler/ Still I am the best bet
right? humble huh?/ Seen enough
come and go, wasting time and
wasting flow/ dreaming like their on
a roll but they lost control/ this is
the beginning of something new/ I’m
starting to make sense, wait i ain’t
through/ the god got a dilemma,
keep it live or keep it mega/ i’m
trying to have a ball, but you devils
cut my tether/ whatever, I’m trying to
reclaim what I abandoned/ walked
away from the hustling and look what
happened/ Auto tune automatically
be turning y’all electric/ saw the
past hit the 4 track and get the exit/
the music can’t sustain because the
styles anorexic/ thinning out the herd,
because the talents so subjective/
everyone rich, but nobody debt free/
and you handing out meat so your
dogs can eat
(chorus)
