Song Lyrics

(feat. DL Incognito, Eternia, Maestro)

[Verse 1: Eternia]
I Played These Strings As A Kid
I Play These Strings Like A Violinist
Or A Violent Man Whose Life Is Finished
In It Till The Death Of Me
`till The Bones Are All That`s Left Of Me
Look And Ya`ll See The Remedy The Authenticity
Eternally Everlasting Mapping Out This Craft Till My Last Breath
You Bury Me With Pharaoh In My Casket
I Mastered This Massive Maze Avoid Disaster
And Came To My Senses Learning Lessons To Harass
I`m Raised Right Night Or Daylight Never Got Stage Fright
Ya Fame Might Cash For The Moment But I Slay Mic`s
I Stay Tight Class And Dl U Know They Same Types
Rapping And Reciting Cause We Enticing A New Life
And To My Kids In The Next Life My Minds On The Biz
Ya`ll Can Classify The Raps That I Exhibit
Exquisitely And Simply, Eternia That`s Reppin` This

[Chorus:]
We`ve Dealt With The Ups And Downs
It`s Just The Way It Is, The Way The World Goes Round
Some People Choose To Smile Other Choose To Frown
It`s Just The Way It Is, The Way The World Goes Round
And Once You At The Top They Hafta Take Your Crown
It`s Just The Way It Is, The Way The World Goes Round
We Filled The Foundation From The Underground
It`s Just The Way It Is, The Way The World Goes Round

[Verse 2: Classified]
You Now I`m That Kid Reppin` The Burbs
Who Spits And Severs Your Words
Talk With A Full Mouth, Spit, Then Enter My Verse
These Copycats Neva Get To Heaven First
Cause They Style Is Fadin` Out Like Some Chip N` Pepper Shirts
Ya`ll Need To Spit Some Other Words, Rip A Better Verse
To Concerned To Get The Cheddar First
That`s Why You Never Get The Perks
And I`ve Been Playin With This Game Since I Was Fifteen
Livin In The Outbacks, Dirty And Sportin` Ripped Jeans
I`ve Been Here, Rock Shows, Ten Years I Dropped Flows
It`s Just The Way It Is, I Did This Shit And Neva Got Doe
Much Love Though, Everything I Did It Made Me Tighter
And Now I Cipher With Some Of The Best Rhyme Writers
The Beat Slicer, I Cut It Up On Every Angle
With These Live Instruments Layin` Over Dirty Samples
I`ve Been Amped, Ever Since The Pen And Pad Been In My Hand
Represent The Hour Glass, (Times Up) It`s Done Man

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: Dl Incognito]
Somebody Said Dl You Spit Too Many Battle Rhymes
You Ain`t Sayin Nothin`; You Fuck With Nigga`s Minds
There`s Meaning To My Lines, So Listen Carefully
A Metaphor, A Simile I Ride Them Merrily
I`m Buyin What Your Sellin D I Master My Craft
That`s What You`re Thinkin But Some Day I Hope I`m Makin Some Cash
I Did It For The Love Of The Art, It Didn`t Pay Off
Should I Sell Out? By No Means Just Keep Workin Hard
I`m Tryin To Quit My Day Job, Build A Career
Move With God Speed, Rockin A Spear
Guitar Riffs Like Heavy Metal, I`ve Got The Heavy Mental
I Come Equipped With The Real Shit, The Bare Essentials
I`ve Covered Ground Like An H2 Hummer
So Next Time Nigga`s Wont Sleep Like Slumber
Just Incase You Wonder, I`ve Got A Thick Catalog
I`m Not A Newcomer I`m Just New To Ya`ll

[Chorus]

[Verse 4: Maestro]
Yo Yo Fathers And Holy Spirits ?
Critics Ridiculed My Hits But Dig It
Nobody Show, They Flow Infinite
I Live It, Love It, Done It And Did It
Visually Vivid, Come In It ?
I Kill I Will I`m In It To Win It
I Was Born Shell Toein`, Elbowin`, Hell Throwin
Jam Blowin` (Shortly Known As) [?]
End Zone In My Flow Can Leave Your Crew Deceased
But Check The News Release
The Son Is Classified; You Know He`s Rulin` The East
Good Grief, Peep The Article
Blaze You With The Audible, Spark You With The Arsenal
Can`t Stop The Honorable
Bad To The Bone, Either Condemn Or Condone
? Will Go To War Like Like Arafat And Sharon
Cause I`m The King Of The Throne, Internationally Known
Fuck A Pen And A Pad Cause Now I Write With Tablets Of Stone
Give The God Credit
Go Ahead And Treat It Like A Lost ?
