作曲 : Brother Ali And I promise if you take me home, I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone Said come on baby, throw me a bone, I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone And I promise if you take me home, I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone Said come on baby, throw me a bone, I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone I'ma tell you something... about me, heheh That's my favorite subject, I don't know if you picked up on that yet or not I never said I had a business mind I just don't believe that quitting time exists, ain't no finish line to this You got to give me mine, I really shine, my given time is this Live and die with the grind, driven by the fist Where you do place my name if I never played your game? We don't race the same, I don't run inside no painted lane Plus y'all pace is strange, y'all either stop or you sprint Run when it's sunny and hide if it change to rain I wouldn't be half the Ali that I am if I slowed myself up and tried competing with these people, fam I'm every bit as unconcerned as they are unprepared Market flooded, needless to say I wasn't scared Let's all drop the same day, I don't ******* care Put listening stations in the store and let the public hear Better yet, let's have an in-store performance Make it oranges to oranges, me dwarfin' your endurance After that we'll shoot the **** with our supporters and see how many more discs of yours the indie stores order See you already know I out-rap 'em On the low, we out-work, out-think, and out-class them And I promise if you take me home, I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone Said come on baby, throw me a bone, I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone And I promise if you take me home, I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone Said come on baby, throw me a bone, I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone Nobody's doing this thing exactly like we do. I mean they do it, they just ain't doing it exactly like us, you know what I'm saying? Sucker-ass ************ My personal pedigree's so bona fide, 'Cause a man of my stature ain't grown overnight The undisputed king of where poor folks reside Because every time I speak there'll be hope vocalized in you Sit and ***** with them chickens about "it isn't fair" The sound system ain't ****, but I was crystal clear We first-name basis with soundmen, we bring 'em beer Plus I tipped 'em fifty last semester when the clique was here Listen here, I ain't going give you all the secrets Just these few examples help me illustrate my pretense Our strength is unrelated to your weakness 'Cause you'll never be a worthy pool of peers to be competed with I sing my **** with Son House and Syl Johnson and always lose, I done lost face too but I'm sporting they shoes, so let me remind you them little kicks you're trying to fit, we outgrew them ****s in high school And I promise if you take me home, I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone Said come on baby, throw me a bone, I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone And I promise if you take me home, I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone Said come on baby, throw me a bone, I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone I don't think I'm arrogant, man, I think just I'm, you know I dos what the **** I does, man, and it's just.. you can kiss my ass, all I care It's of foremost importance, There is none like unto the Brother Al This ************ regardless, and stop all the nonsense You see me lounging, call Rhymesayer's office, I've officially lost it They say my reputation precedes me I don't know the meaning of off-season, I ain't taking it easy Ain't taking a day off, never had a off night Never been laid off, I live on the job site It all pays off, though, when I squint through the spotlight and see your lips are moving to the true shit that I write and we going be all right, every night of my life is my night 'Cause I view the future like it's hindsight I ain't waiting on patiently persevering I see greatness in the person in the mirror very clearly and that's why I take this seriously Baby, come near to me and truly, truly hear me And I promise if you take me home, I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone Said come on baby, throw me a bone, I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone And I promise if you take me home, I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone Said come on baby, throw me a bone, I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
