A little bit of backstory
• Written by Ruben_Artzi
I thought I had it all figured out
All this Talkin about ballin is all I’d ever been about
Pure innovation paving an intimidating route
Wild n Out clownin around livin underground;
I’m down n out
Guess ill head down
get paid to twist and shout
On the stage, I’m filled with rage
Haven’t earned a word of doubt
I wanted freedom everyday
Better make sure to pay attention
Until all of the bills have been paid
There’s this feeling ; I can sense it
Around you serving up Serene surround sound
It’s bound to happen any second
How about now?
I’m just drying off
Im in need of a towel
And give me a minute
I’ve got Stories to tell
I’ll Tell the tale
It wasnt nothing new
If I tell the tale well
I can’t help what you misconstrue
You’d think im feeling blue
Cause pain is what I face
There was nothing else to do
Than to come in 1st place
You knew Mase, Now you know Me
Highest in the game the one and only OG
Rapping singing stringing sentences along all week
Nowadays I cant get my phone not to beep
It’s a direct effect Im called to cool calm collect
I’m paid to disinfect this rap with no respect
Inject the jets with fuel I be a fool with sights to set
You’ve made ya bottom dolla bet you holla when I come correct
Sentences: finished ‘em, never diminishin
Still itchin for positions i’m in a Dominican
Listening for syndicates to tell me I’m rich again
Distilling the citadel not feeling well it’s discipline
Take a step ‘fore gettin strep n you need Penicillin
Calls non stop appointments I pencil ‘em in
Can’t you see reasons I want you to win
Lane All lookin foggy oddly can’t see the end,
I’m like a god, your lyrical master
Watch me as I slide out of the Aston— I’m faster,
than most cats hats off tell ‘em to get plastered straight up,
truly it is my duty to be a bastard
It’s always been the same.
I remember staring at the clock.
Giving girls the game (they give brains). /Girls givin the brain
Stuck with homework 3 on the dot.
Pleasure comes with pain.
Pressure inside my veins.
Ain’t it a bitch you’d switch lives,
divide the whites, get the gains.
I’ve always had a brain.
Mean what I say when I mock.
Retards that just play cards.
Smoke and drink and fuck a lot.
Pop the top off girls and cars.
I feel my flame prepare for war.
Stuck with a vocal atom bomb.
Trippin’, chokin’ over my own chords.
Never outta of game,
when its said that its a flop
Tell em I Been given strict
orders Comin from the top
Pop my collar when
up for the awards
Talkin shit I tend to spit,
jottin towards the Forbes, List
Using all my breath
This is what it’s for
I’m glad I’m finally
Giving you the tour
I can’t seem to stop
No matter rich or poor
Comin for everything in store
and nothing more
If I only had a minute
Kill this noise before I bill it
Still it remains a stain
Much too much like plain Jane
Whats missin is
Its all about how you will frame
Experience; its a Trip to listen To
still a bitch to explain
I’m thru walking through the fire
So let me finish
no way in hell I could retire
got propane for quickest; flames
You might catch me with the spinach , Critics are finished
see id wish it, But its no use to win if I’m to blame
So you can thank the losers
Cos I’m winning due to
The fact they lack substance
Husbands happy to confront this
I Want this ruthless,
they got 2 kids
House with a roof,
Toyota coupes,
Well I guess if the shoe fits
kick the can n gimme the loot
There’s nothing left for you to do
Who should go through the scrutiny
cause I got something to prove
They should feel happy,
clap for me cos they bought tix
Always to get whatever it is they wanted
I got backstage passes, flickin off the ashes
Blunt blowin burnin fuel Boeing needs our asses
In the seats to sell the seeds, my happiness is magic
Losing Everything you have and nothing more is tragic
You couldn’t drag me out this rap game
One thing I can promise is that they will all know my name
Burden off my back I tend to hack while I’m insane
Obsessed with working, women shirking duty for a birkin bag to tame
Ruben Artzi is the man before you
Man this shit goes so fast, I can’t afford to
ask you to spare a dollar ,Rather asking you
to kiss my ass recording for other fans living in your shoes
So when I holla say hello hi its nice to meetcha
I expect you shake my hand staring at all my features
Something of lust, can you believe we are just creatures
To eaches own my Teachers grown livin down the beaches
I’ve spent a decade pretty much under the bleachers
Still standing at the podium repeating Speeches
Now what does this teach us
Pieces of the puzzle drive me bananas like Rhesus
I do this shit on a daily basis
Smiling faces greet me Gayley as I fix the races
Getting divisive writing while I’m at the height an oasis
Chasin whips sippin coffee hastily makin life dangerous
thought I’d live to be a little cantankerous
Truth be told it sounds like they’re high as hell on Angel dust
Into my domain I’ve been sayin they feigning wander lust
You paint a picture vivid as I write the scriptures So obvious
I used to not want to say shit at all Get to work, have ladies flirt,
get the cash, fuck it we ball
Now everyday people looking for the conversations
I confess I’ll learn my lesson, first impress entire nations
You pithering people are working hard for what
I’m trying harder to relax, I don’t even know what’s up
My body telling me there’s stress to rack but also to sit back
You dilly dally, dither, come hither, here’s my heart attack
You paint a picture vivid,
you can’t get what I got hidden
Chasing Patience none of this waitin or rushing
At the auction for which I am bidding
Ready to have you blushin
Your opinion is forbidden
Never mind on what I am Puffin
Highest quality I’m smuggling,
