Legend In Your Own Mind
Some people dance with the devil.
Me, I'm just on another level.
Don't need no tricks, or a crucifix...
Not tryin to earn a medal.
Some people act like they been hit
with a shovel.
Some people's mouth should be
put in a muzzle.
Some get lost in the modern man's
hussle.
Gotta keep the people puzzled.
This reminds me of a movie with
Kurt Russell.
Can't go a day without getting in
a scuffle.
Trying to keep up with the scuttle
and bussle.
No, you can't have my truffle.
What's in the duffle bag? Well, that's
none of your business.
It could be guns... It could be drugs...
It could be I just enlisted.
I'm a soldier, I shoot two fisted.
I use the double tap, just in case
the first one missed.
Let's call this a rap, before I
really get pissed.
Why you got such a limp wrist?
Hear the black serpent hiss, it
spits poison in your eye.
One last kiss from your forgot
alabi.
Why oh why could you not just
Listen.
This is all a lie because the truth
is still missing.
I've seen this all before.
It be happin all the time.
When the curtain hits the floor
You're a Legend in Your Own Mind.
Rappers gone to war.
Words as weapons in rhyme.
Like an unsharpened sword,
You're a Legend in Your Own Mind.
Come take a chance on this rebel.
See, I told you...
I'm on another level.
I kick against the pricks, I've taken
my licks, I'm romping on the pedal.
This bullshits so thick, I need a
back hoe, not a shovel.
Can't they write a hit? That's part
of the puzzle.
Like a man that got tossed around
by a bigger man with muscles.
Peep the newest cuckold.
You're behind me like a school yard
tussle.
Fukk this hand, I demand a
reshuffle.
I stay away from those juggling
their troubles.
And those that always see double.
Life is like a bubble bath, can't see
under the surface.
When you take your mask off,
your persona is worthless.
I run solo...
Mono y mono, you run in a pack,
two faced.
You're the one that left the cap
off of the fukkin' toothpaste.
You're like gum that's lost its taste.
No you can't step to this so don't
even bother tryin.
I don't want to be responsible for
all your people diein.
Crying on the floor in tears, straight
coming apart at the seams.
This Legend in his own mind. The
King of his dreams.
I've seen this all before.
It be happin all the time.
When the curtain hits the floor
You're a Legend in Your Own Mind.
Rappers gone to war.
Words as weapons in rhyme.
Like an unsharpened sword,
You're a Legend in Your Own Mind.
