Lyrics:<\/p>\n
[Hook]
\nI\u2019m hip to
\nThe game (Right), I\u2019ll always be
\nThe same (True) \u2018cause whether I\u2019m
\nBroke or got fame, sunshine or rain
\nAin\u2019t a damn thing changed<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nFinesse fell off\u2014that\u2019s what some figure. You better
\nSee Mary Blige and get the 411, nigga
\nI rock rappers frequently. I\u2019m like
\nStevie Wonder\u2014I can\u2019t see a brother beating me
\nWanna throw joints? You\u2019ll get spanked, fella. Wanna talk
\nDough? I\u2019m seeing more cash than a bank teller
\nWanna talk girls? You can\u2019t follow this\u2014I\u2019ve been
\nThrough more skins than the average dermatologist
\nI\u2019m no joke on a fast or slow tip
\nPockets stay so thick, be on some down-low shit
\nI turn emcees red fast
\nI\u2019ll never sell out\u2014fuck that, yo, I\u2019m deadass
\nI\u2019m rolling like TNT. When it
\nComes to this, ain\u2019t another brother seeing me
\nThat\u2019s why opponents always get scared, \u2018cause I\u2019ll
\nMake brothers go, \u201cAyyo, now that\u2019s that shit there!\u201d<\/p>\n
[Hook]
\nI\u2019m hip to
\nThe game (Right), I\u2019ll always be
\nThe same (True) \u2018cause whether I\u2019m
\nBroke or got fame, sunshine or rain
\nAin\u2019t a damn thing changed<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nCheck it
\nBrothers better lounge when I pass through town
\n(You better recognize) Don\u2019t know? Better ask around
\nWord life, I\u2019m not a new figure. They say
\n\u201cGood things come to those who wait\u201d\u2014I\u2019m overdue, nigga
\nI\u2019ll lounge and rock tunes. The way I be
\nSaving the day, give me a cape and a costume
\nBut, no, it\u2019s not Batman. It\u2019s the original
\nBlackman that goes back like the Gap Band
\nI don\u2019t run scams, got dumb fans. Yo, I\u2019m one
\nMan that\u2019s quick to toast a nigga like a sun tan
\nPeople wondered: would I rock again? Shit
\nRap without Finesse is like life without oxygen
\nIt\u2019s no quiz I get biz. You know what the
\nDeal is: rap ain\u2019t shit if it ain\u2019t real, kid
\nCan\u2019t a rapper out play me
\n(Do your thing, kid) Word life, no doubt, baby<\/p>\n
[Hook]
\nI\u2019m hip to
\nThe game (Right), I\u2019ll always be
\nThe same (True) \u2018cause whether I\u2019m
\nBroke or got fame, sunshine or rain
\nAin\u2019t a damn thing changed<\/p>\n
[Verse 3]
\nI don\u2019t stutter, I\u2019m so butter like no
\nOther. Word, I\u2019m that funky type of soul brother
\nI get stupid but I\u2019m dumb wise. I\u2019m one
\nGuy that can rock a party from night until sunrise
\nYou can\u2019t mess with the rap lord\u2014that\u2019s like
\nSaying you can dunk when you can\u2019t touch the backboard
\nHah, I got the smooth rep. I got
\nStyles that kung fu motherfuckers didn\u2019t use yet
\nHow long I been rocking raps?
\nSince niggas was wearing Lee\u2019s, marked-necks, and sporting stocking caps
\nPlus, I\u2019ll be flipping figures in \u20189-
\n-5 and beyond, best believe I got some shit for niggas<\/p>\n
