"One life to give in, get in where you fit in" - M.O.P. "Stick To Ya Gunz"
[Verse One]:
I write the composition
That'll rise the thoughts of most folks suspicions
Have them question the reason for their existence
Rock a show with only an MC's persistence
Got lyrics that exceed past normal limits
I tried to quit but my writer's streak refused to fill in
Debatin' truth like the Jews and Christians
Refuse the prophecies so I can keep my way of livin
My man Mu said, "Journ, this here's a given
I'll work the boards keep crafting the rhymes you spittin'
You got a flow and a message, the world need to hear it."
But name a rapper who don't think that he got a mission
But Proof told me in a dream that was so vivid
To carry on the legacy and motivate the realest
So I'mma carry the torch until the flame extinguish
A broken phenomenon, I'm the true and livin'
So get in where you fit in
[Hook]:
Everybody gotta go but it's
"One life to give in, get in where you fit in"
The same story is told but still
"One life to give in, get in where you fit in"
Keep your head to the sky because it's
"One life to give in, get in where you fit in"
Regardless to the trail it's still
"One life to give in, get in where you fit in"
[Verse Two]:
This the speech of a freedom fighter
The true speech of a believer that's tryin' to avoid hell fire
I got a vet swagger
But not just cause I say it
I wrote my history in Detroit's chapter
I've been the Journalist way before the Scribes of Life
Not to mention, I'm twice as nice behind the mic
I put my heart in every verse crafted
And substituted with blood now your boy needs a transplant
I grab the microphone and cause damage
I don't spit for the fame, leavin' rappers at a disadvantage
From Detroit to the holy land of Medina
Five Elements Gallery to the biggest arenas
I got a rare drive that puts me in my own lane
I try to bring about change within this here game
You usually gettin' what you put into it
So don't be surprised if you get dissed for makin' wack music
[Hook]:
Everybody gotta go but it's
"One life to give in, get in where you fit in"
The same story is told but still
"One life to give in, get in where you fit in"
Keep your head to the sky because it's
"One life to give in, get in where you fit in"
Regardless to the trail it's still
"One life to give in, get in where you fit in"
