Catch 23

[Intro]
Yeah, oh yeah I like that cause I can hear myself a lot better, shit I got something on here here anyway
It really don't matter
(its like fuck it)
I ain't even worried no more man
Start doing this shit
Like a real nigga should, know what I'm saying
LO

[Verse 1]
Throwin' jabs at any nigga with gloves on
Live behind these bars, you'd think I'm rappin' with cuffs on
Last year I wasted my talent writing these love songs
This year I'm trying my hardest not to come up wrong
Words, buzzing from jungle to jungle Tim Allen
Probably know me I could write a whole book and give it to Mowgli
I'm hiding i'm my skin, I'm a beast in disguise
I'm carrying each line like I was Optimus Prime
What? I want more people to connect with what I'm saying so for a limited time I'm offering wi-fi, free
On the Pharcyde these women keep passing by me
I'm ready for war you hop on the front line flee
Intimidated I'm taking note of your fear, I'm overlooking your dome and aiming straight at your ears
Trigger finger 007 I'm looking to pierce through your brains and brawn son challenge me if you dare
Lately I've been feeling like I'm under-estimated, I'm impatient
I've been waiting to profess that I'm the greatest
Niggas ranting, Women raving adding me onto they playlists
See the truth inside my mirror
Bout the time I fucking face it
I mean, I try to keep my conscious out of harms way
Follow my first mind at least that's what my mom say
I gotta let these demons out for my mind's sake
I gotta kill these weak rappers for the rhyme's sake, Aye

[Hook]
They taking pages outta books
Converting pawns into rooks
Man don't nobody wanna hear about a nigga's trials and tribulations no more
They just wanna hear the hooks (x2)
So catch this!

[Verse 2]
Punchlines hit with no fists
Writing so much damn near broke my wrist
What it's like to rap like
A Jada with no kiss
Get crossed with no Kris or beats with no Swizz
How you getting diagnosed? But still you not sick
You never sold drugs, got rich or popped clips
But still you walk around with a story to tell
'Bout how you got picked on and yo mom was so strict
Nobody wanna hear about a regular nigga
We a dying breed, like young kids that wanna read
I'm just trying to grow my empire
They crushing my seeds
Bringing rap music home, but they shredding the deed
Yo, never had a gimmick
Can't rap no phony lyrics
Just trying to reach my peak and push it way beyond my limits
Shedding light up on a subject, but you know they gon' dim it
I'm concerned about my message
Why they worried about my image? (mayne)

[Hook]
They taking pages outta books
Converting pawns into rooks
Man don't nobody wanna hear about a nigga's trials and tribulations no more
They just wanna hear the hooks
They taking pages outta books
Converting pawns into rooks
Man don't nobody wanna hear about a nigga's trials and tribulations no more
They just wanna hear the...
So catch this!

[Outro]
Yeah, Specktur and all that
Damone Tyrell, 92, shoutout to the Lo
Buffalo to be exact, 716
I rep it all day baby
All this shit is unnecessary that I'm saying
I'm just doing that hard rapper shit
Fuck all that, cut the beat off
