lyrics

(Chorus)
They say that I’m this, they say that I’m that
They say I ain’t Hip, they say I can’t rap
They say I ain’t Hop, they tell me to stop
They say I’m nothing at all
Maybe I’m all this, everything. Do this ‘till I fall
They say I’m nothing at all
Maybe I’m all this, everything. Do this ‘till I fall

(Verse 1)
They say rapping ain’t me, I say you don’t know me
Back away slowly
Say I ain’t an MC
Ain’t real Hip Hop, content’s empty
Say I ain’t real, they say that I’m fake
Say I should die like a Vampire by the stake
But I say that they hate
I stay wide awake
Like an owl
And see they just bowels
They say it themselves, they’re shit
Glitter on lying words to make a hit
They say I ain’t hood
So that mean I ain’t good
Don’t get it twisted, the hood is where I’m living
Where my story is being written
Father did what he had to for me to be on the right path
But they say I ain’t real, they say that I’m wak
Say I should stick to school and math
But with every line I’m adding value
Spiritual wealth y mucho salu
They like to say a lot about you is what they do
But it doesn’t mean that it is all really true

(Verse 2)
They say they don’t like it
But don’t got the power to fight it
I shine through my smile
Makes me look better that all of your style
They say I’m a nerd
Say I should stop spitting these words
Say I’m not nice
I say you better listen more than twice
Say I ain’t tall
Say I will be crushed by the walls
That surround me
But they’re kept up by the sound beams
And I tower over you like Godzilla
Spit fire and make you scream like Thriller
Say my stuff is too simple, say my lines are too complex
Say I’m the worst, say that I’m no contest
Say I don’t have a voice for the music
But I’m unique so you better get used to it
Say I’m a biter, say I’m original
Say I’m too explicit, say I’m too subliminal

(Verse 3)
They say that me rapping is comedy
But laughter is the remedy
People place more labels than Johnnie Walker
And fall for the flattery of the sweet talkers
Never get to know people for who they really are
Following the system’s rule, you’ll never get far
Have you blind to reality and what you believe
Cuz they decide what you like, what you do, how you breath
Your blind like 20/200 vision
Pretty blurred patterns formed form their mission
But I don’t care what they say, I listen to me
The K E L V
I N
To the end
On me I depend
To make my own trend
It’s Ton, 2,000 ways to get live, rhyme, be real, be me
2,000 ways to survive, shine, how I feel, freely
Do this cuz nothing else gives me this feeling
So sky’s the limit, no ceilings
I have to make it, Hip Hop’s my heart
Music, albums, on stage will just be the start
