It’s Not Always Pretty

[Intro]
This the difference since the beginning
But I get it where I fit in
Sandpeople, Oldominion
Sitting on top like a fitted
Rep Thorn City
It's not always pretty, but I get it in

[Verse 1]
Yea, alright, here we go, here we go
I go in quite hard when I start the show
Mosh the stage, stomping faces
This a daily operation
And my motivation is not my wages
My aim is where Bill Gates lives
I'm saying let's raid his mansion
Throw a party, light it up like streets of Vegas
That'd be funny like Jay-Z singing Oasis
(I'm so amazing)
I should write a jingle for the NBA (Nah)
Get off my Chamberlain and let me play
I'm not quite Jordan in his heyday
More like circa '87, '88
But a mainstay
Naysayers give a fuck Lame say
Lame don't give a fuck what they say
Or you say
Like Gary Busey, Lame's a psychopath
Douse you in butane and then I strike a match

[Hook]
This the difference since the beginning
But I get it where I fit in
Sandpeople, Oldominion
Sitting on top like a fitted
Rep Thorn City
It's not always pretty, but I get it in
And since the beginning I kept this independent
I keep what's worth defending
Sitting on top like a fitted
Rep Thorn City
It's not always pretty, but I get it in

[Verse 2]
Uh, alright, here we go, here we go
I go in just as hard as I did before
And when I say hard, I don't mean it's difficult
It's easy, fried
Greasy, slide
Off the bone, slide in like home
Smooth like Irish Whiskey, fuck a shot of Patron
You know Lame is sipping Jameson
Wish I could fill up an IV bag, inject my veins with it
'Til that day, a half gallon's on my rider
And a small price to pay for the talent I provide a venue with
Smoke clouds fill up the room, but don't ventilate
I pause, inhale, resume
Now I'm loose like something escaped out of the zoo
(Lame's an animal)
You need a few horse tranquillizers to (Slow me down)
Like Frank the Tank in Old School when he drowned
Lame's a fool and a clown

[Hook]
This the difference since the beginning
But I get it where I fit in
Sandpeople, Oldominion
Sitting on top like a fitted
Rep Thorn City
It's not always pretty, but I get it in
And since the beginning I kept this independent
I keep what's worth defending
Sitting on top like a fitted
Rep Thorn City
It's not always pretty, but I get it in

[Verse 3]
Yea, alright, here we go
Nah, if you don't get it by now, man, you'll never know
For all the dead rappers, I'll let my liquor pour
Then I'll sip some more, fuck growing old and taking Lipitor
I'm from the city where the hipsters from other cities go
And wear the skinny jeans, but I don't really get it though
Maybe it's because I don't fit in those
I'm different, only time I fit in is when it's in a ho
But don't take offense to that 'cause I don't mean no harm
I'm just trying to stay Phat like Russell Simmons' farm
Wanna keep in contact? Fuck a business card
All my info's on this package, it's no CDr
H&R, bitch, I'm in charge
Don't disrespect the conglomerate, we large
Globalized economy, we stimulate
Sandpeeps, Oldominion, independent train

[Hook]
This the difference since the beginning
But I get it where I fit in
Sandpeople, Oldominion
Sitting on top like a fitted
Rep Thorn City
It's not always pretty, but I get it in
And since the beginning I kept this independent
I keep what's worth defending
Sitting on top like a fitted
Rep Thorn City
It's not always pretty, but I get it in

[Sample]
I am who I'm gon' be, um

[Outro]
What you do
Is what the whole universe is doing
At the place you call here and now
