Intro x2 (vsteeze)
I rather (rather), I rather (rather)
I rather (rather), I rather (rather)
Verse One (Funky DL)
And I write rhymes, yeah I got lyrics that be spanning my lifetime
So prolific, maybe I’m out of my right mind
But everywhere I go I’m letting my light shine
I got them staying in they lane like a white line
Cos’ I constantly got music in the pipeline
I’m not the type to ever sit on the side-line
So forgive mе if I don’t follow the guidelines
Thеy say when you born with the plight of a black man
You gotta work ten times harder than that man
To get you a cigar and a bottle of Jack Dan
Sophisticated car and the money to stack land
Bring it back man, I just write rhymes
It took me all around the world and right back again
Providing inspiration from the words I’m imagining
Making a presentation from the words I’m unravelling
Although when you an independent artist it’s challenging
But with every adversity yo’ I’m still here
And when I see grey skies, I know that they will clear
That’s why I make basslines that people can feel, yeah
At the right time, yo’ I write rhymes
And yo’ likewise, I recite lines
And keep on listening to samples I might find
From early morning all way into night-time
Yo’ I write rhymes, I just write rhymes
Chorus x2 (vsteeze)
I be raising vibrations all through the raps
I rather (rather), I rather (rather)
I rather write poems, something classic
Verse Two (Funky DL)
I still write rhymes, we talking thirty something years of my poetry
I gotta speak my truth, but with a hint of diplomacy
And never speak reckless just so the people will notice me
This lyrical potency when I’m speaking so openly
When I write rhymes the page flows
And keep the beat under wraps like it’s plainclothes
So the words shine bright like they halos
And be a symbol of faith like it’s a rainbow
It’s from the soul, so any situation in my life can unfold
Write it down, document it, so the truth can be told
A message in the music, leave the youth predisposed
To lessons they can use in every fork in the road
Cos’ God only knows that my penmanship is for my friends and my foes
Cos’ these sentences will just extend into flows
Making entrances, now as blend with the Rhodes I write rhymes
I can be feeling not so good, but I write rhymes
Ain’t in the flyest neighbourhood, but I write rhymes
And even when I feel disheartened, I write rhymes
If every friend of mine departed, I write rhymes
And if I’m feeling broken-hearted, I write rhymes
I took it back to how I started, I write rhymes
From early morning all way into night-time
Yo’ I write rhymes, I just write rhymes
Chorus (vsteeze)
I be raising vibrations all through the raps
I rather (rather), I rather (rather)
I rather write poems, something classic
Outro (vsteeze)
I rather (rather), I rather (rather)
I rather (rather), I rather (rather)
I rather (rather), I rather (rather)
I rather (rather), I rather (rather)
I rather write poems, something classic
