[INTRO]
Original - A first form from which varieties arise
An authentic work of art as opposed to an imitation or

reproduction

[CHORUS]

Why should I try to sound like ya'll sound
That's what's wrong with the rap game right now
Man, it's like a circus wit a bunch of clowns

Wit a bunch of clicks I'll probably rap circles around

[VERSE 1]

I spit heatrock and I ain't talking rollin
Soon as the beat knock I'm crowd controlling
When I hear ya'll that a awful sound

I don't ride beats I take them off the ground
Land them somewhere show them the town
Even on foreign ground I let them know I'm around

I don't follow everybody when it's time to rap
At one time everybody thought the world was flat
Sounds like you that was my intention

I paid dues now dudes pay attention
I live for it even though the flicks is hittin'
Cribs sick you can see the booth from the kitchen

Speak on it cause I saw it happen
This is hip hop dawg
I ain't just rappin

Ya'll looking at a real MC
Man you couldn't check a mic for me


[CHORUS]

Why should I try to sound like ya'll sound

That's what's wrong wit the rap game right now
Why should I try to flow the way ya'll flow
Or do a show like ya'll show

Naw that ain't where my head at now
Ya'll in the hip hop lost and found
Man, that's wrong with the rap game right now

It's like a circus wit a bunch of clowns
Wit a bunch of clicks
I'll probably rap circles around


[VERSE 2]
Let's talk about rhyme capability

Let's talk about hip hop versatility
Let's talk about taking the game beyond
Now how the hell we gon have a battle of wits

Trick you ain't armed
Let's talk about love for the game
I mean real love

Back before there was fame
I'm real wit it
I ain't claiming to reign

But when ya'll talk about rap
Ya'll gon start saying my name
For real though I ain't playin

Plenty of ya'll love a brotha just scared to say it
Yo the first ever rap grammy
Let's talk about the only reason yo $$# went to Miami

(Yup) truck wit rims (check) throw back jersey (check)
champagne bottles (check) lot's of models (check)
Damn that's the list for 90 percent of ya'll videos and songs

Am I wrong

[CHORUS]


[VERSE 3]
LOST

When you a slave to the biz
Wit no care for the cost of what you sayin to kids
FOUND

Is when ya lyrics are a test of time
And your mom hear that your spirit is blessed divine
LOST

Is when you rhyme til your throat gets sore
But you don't even believe what you say no more
FOUND
Is when you bleed heart into the mic
And the pain you sustain it can change a life

LOST
Is when you hide behind the freedom of speech
While sure you're free to do it
But what it mean to do it
Did you mean to do it

Did you need to do it
Did you take time to think about the seeds you ruined
FOUND Is ESCO, dead PREZ and them
FOUND Is Lauren Hill
FOUND Is Rakim

FOUND Can be you
If you felt the message and ask yourself this questioin

[CHORUS OUT]
