Leave Of Absence

[Verse]:
Back off a hiatus, had to take a brief breather
Still ain't heard nobody ill as me neither
Took some time off and a break that was needed
Separated myself from the snakes and the divas
While you was breakin' weed up
I was overseas steady tourin', takin' foreigners and makin' 'em believers
I'm still far from accomplished now
But I'm returnin' to my roots and my stompin' ground
I came back to get down
Love my bass lines and my beats, kinda like my women
Thick and stripped down
Who would ever expect, me to come record it on a dual cassette deck
With a broken headset, to well respected
An impossible feat
To go from obsolete
To rockin' a beat along side of hip hop's elite
Now I'm thinkin' on some brain shit
Take over the world on some Pinky And The Brain shit
Even though I'm dealin' with this crummy label thing
I see it for what it's worth (what?), a money makin' scheme
It was time to come forward and officially warn y'all
Stop thinkin' that I quit rappin' and I've lost it
Cease with the rumors, I had to take a step back
I had to stop lettin' cornballs capitalize off it
My own boss now
A better business savvy
Back on the clock, back from a leave of absence
Get ready
