Battlefield Songtext
von 7L & Esoteric

These are words of a man that′s been real
Ain't tryna reinvent the wheel of wack thug
The games like a sick battlefield where men kneel
But I got my whole fam with me now that′s love
These are words of a man that's been real
Ain't tryna reinvent the wheel of wack thug
The games like a sick battlefield where men kneel
But I got my whole fam with me now that′s love


Yo, chip on his shoulder, glad it sunk in
You don′t walk with, you walk among him
Them's the rules, no bending
No flow lending, this takes balls like goaltending
I man up, stand up to the bullshit
Tell the fans put their hands up if they through with
The fake shit, I got a man named Ed who did
Fifteen, just got out the bing and he said
"This is what rap is, trucker hat, bizz upper class kid
Use the ghetto as an adjective (no!)
This is what rap becomes, speaking smart, acting dumb
Rapping like a shooter when you know you don′t pack a gun"
I said "nah" but I was lying through my teeth
Crying underneath as I heard his sigh of relief
Then I told him it never looked bleaker
Today you gotta dig a little deeper

These are words of a man that's been real
Ain′t tryna reinvent the wheel of wack thug
The games like a sick battlefield where men kneel
But I got my whole fam with me now that's love
These are words of a man that′s been real
Ain't tryna reinvent the wheel of wack thug
The games like a sick battlefield where men kneel
But I got my whole fam with me now that's love


Limitless when I′m ripping this
When it comes to P.I. you know I handle mines like a hypnotist
Middle finger to the cynical critics
Who couldn′t do what I do if they was visiting my clinic
First: "He's too complex", Next: "Where′s the concepts"
Then: "He just smack clowns", Now: "He don't back down"
To no one, the mic′s like a loaded gun
You wanna learn from the true then watch Logan's Run
I can′t fuck with no beef that's overdone
It's over son, I took it in round one
Moving on, you knowing that the flowing is spectacular
My lyrics like a massacre musically when I′m cracking the
Sidewalk or the sediment, in all black forces
Sorta like the 54th regiment
Them nights I gotta get ′em in bulk
I got the streets on smash like the Incredible Hulk
You know

These are words of a man that's been real
Ain′t tryna reinvent the wheel of wack thug
The games like a sick battlefield where men kneel
But I got my whole fam with me now that's love
These are words of a man that′s been real
Ain't tryna reinvent the wheel of wack thug
The games like a sick battlefield where men kneel
But I got my whole fam with me now that′s love

Mic check, Jay ain't done yet
Please Larry David your enthusiasm for a sec
Y'all talk about rhyming on blocks to get credit
Only hoodie rock is Russell Athletic dawg, forget it
Claim you hated on till the break of dawn
When it′s time to make a song you′d rather wait till later on
This here is real words, you can say I'm preaching
Each and every person breathing into a mic thinks they′re teaching
I'm reaching, quit abiding by the rules
Never no time to lose, I don′t confide in fools
Every night getting hype, why you rapping like you rebel like
When you like to party at private schools
I provide the jewels, the shine, it's me
Not you this time, the rightful recipient
Living in the most doomed of times
I use my mind to prove that I′m the sickest of humankind

These are words of a man that's been real
Ain't tryna reinvent the wheel of wack thug
The games like a sick battlefield where men kneel
But I got my whole fam with me now that′s love
These are words of a man that′s been real
Ain't tryna reinvent the wheel of wack thug
The games like a sick battlefield where men kneel
But I got my whole fam with me now that′s love
