“Nigga Like Me” (48 months)

[Intro]
Headphones even
Gotta be
Gotta be
Reality baby

[Verse 1: Asheru]
My rhymes they run the gamut in a vast array
Competition is none, son - they all passed away
When the day is done, you know I be the last to stay
Cause I'm one of the best that hip-hop has today

[Verse 2: Blue Black]
This little [bit of?] head nod in me
You just a god in me, moving my body - not a commodity
I'm analogous, logically and phonically phonetically
Sonically kinetic like comedic cosmology

[Verse 3: Asheru]
I just love trees, like Arbor day
Make pennies, like harder ways
So, God, I pray to know what contemplate in this daily
Quest for equality, peace, and happiness
['void?] the stress with the plethora of what [job bless?]

[Verse 4: Blue Black]
I'm grown to the boom bap, the trap drum, in flat sums
See, my sword is a pen, and I'm a swordsman. *chi-ching*
Cuttin' ass like my name is D'Artagnan
My manner is grand, but check out my companion
He's just...

[Hook]
A nigga like me (repeated)

[Verse 5: Asheru]
The kind of nigga that I am, I don't conjugate, I just be and conversate freely with these Ebonics
Fill up your whole room, with my ill sonic boom transmittal;
It'll be one of them things where you caught in the middle
With your broke second fiddle - call me the "Stradivarius"
And bring your ass inside this new age of Aquarius
It's so hilarious how when I rip into my verse
All these hard overconfident niggas be like [dirt?]*
They can't believe it, but you should seek it to know:
Without a shadow of a doubt, in battle, I go all-out
And be the last man standing at the top of the hill
Holding my dill, speaking words that you can hear
[partial?] now that's for real

[Verse 6: Blue Black]
This here is a sure thing - a pure thing;
Reticent and demure with some things
But when it comes to this rap and drug thing:
"I run things, cause I done some things you never do."
...and that ain't true
Life is big; its bigger than you
And you bitter so I better be better than you
"Get ahead of you. Me instead of you"
Is the mentality I steadily run into
Like I gotta "dead" you to do what I gotta do, man
I think somebody's in your head and just fucking with you
But if you're better than me, then go ahead B
I'ma be right here steady
Not "steady be," but "steadily" moving my head to the melody

[Hook]
A nigga like me (repeated)

[Verse 7: Asheru]
Jump-jump, jump in your blind spot
Kick you in your high parts, boy
Mine gots to be had - just be glad I didn't take yours..
The way your rhyme style bores we flip fours with lines that endure

[Verse 8: Blue Black]
I hit yours prior to your desire to be
I'm apriori: a prior eye to history
I got the foresight to see like John Forsythe in Dynasty
...but he ain't a nigga like me

[Verse 9: Asheru]
A nigga like me can wreak havoc on the mic' nightly
Thoughts way too heavy to take this shit lightly
I brightly glow and rightly so
My man up next, he might be a nigga just like me

[Verse 10: Blue Black]
I think its clear that I could make about 20 G's a year
Selling fear or telling you that I'm superior to you
But I'd rather paint the media sepia and blue
And tell you what a nigga like me is going through
Because...

[Hook]
A nigga like me (repeated)

[Outro]
Gotta be
Gotta be
Gotta be reality
Bay beh, bay-bay beh
Bay beh, bay-bay beh
Bay beh, bay-bay beh
