I Am Lyrics
Verse:
They told me I would never win
Okay, I told them where to not begin
Uh, I started with a pen
And I'm all over the street like I'm fresh out the pen
Yeah, SnowGoonS got my back like
I was off mushrooms in my past life
Ironically, generally, nigga I'm past stripes
I'm runnin' 'em like I was Jam Master Jay last night
I am Biggie, I am Pun, I am 2Pac
I am Phife Dawg, I am Prodigy, I am Hip Hop!
It's not just what I do it's who the fuck I am
Only the true understand the graffiti on the wall, right under the spray can
The cardboard box they was spinnin' on at the park jam
The needle in the groove when the record turn
But we don't teach 'em 'bout the culture they will never learn
I'm the smoke in the air when the weed burn
Comin' off the top o' the head like a ringworm
I am Guru, I am Heavy D, I am Big L
I am the educated Rap if you can't tell!
I am that brand new breakbeat
I'm the Disco Fever, I am skate king
I'm Echo Park, I am Harlem World, I'm Bronx River
I seen it all like a Black Spades gang member
I remember The Message, I remember the lessons
Hip Hop was a blessing, from this very inception
I remember the dope, I remember the crack
I am that cheapskate coat with the hat to match!
I'm Cowboy, I'm Pimp C, ODB, I'm Sean P!
I'm Chinx Drugz, Stack Bundles, I'm MC Trouble!
I am a force to be reckoned with
Microphone in my hand with the weapon grip
Keep extra clips, for extra shit
You ain't gotta like it but you gon' respect this shit
I'm the King of Rock there is nothin' higher!
I won't stop rockin' 'til I retire!
Or 'til I expire, or 'til I desire
Until I write somethin' and the shit's not fire!
