Yeah (x3) [Shad] Let's go [Verse 1: Shad] Warmest wishes to those that chose to visit the show Frigid flow: my tongue might stick to a pole What I'm spitting is cold: Michigan snow Listen though I don't put on airs, I'm conditioned to blow I'm a star. My sis called me that Back before my posse rapped That's when the older homies told me just don't be a copycat Ok. Copy that. Handed the walkie talkie back This is real pride in my eyes, it’s not a cocky act Look at us struggling and look how those at the top react Not saying they're Nazis I'm just saying how can they not see that? Its still a white world they don't even want that coffee black No prime time: they don't even want that Cosby black? Man... A lot of cats wanna see the best watch Well if you want to see the best? Watch This like Redd Fox mixed with a TED talk Mixtape icon sitting on your desktop Stop [Verse 2: Shad] Letras de cancionesI'm still telling my people to let that light shine I never thought on the day I started to write rhymes That I might climb and now it’s like I Just may be Jay-Z in my lifetime Cuz oooooh look at how I'm killing these tracks I'm a vet but not the type of vet that’s feeling these cats Where the real Emcees at?
