lyrics

[Hook]
They like to tell me I'm a lover, not a fighter
They like to think that I'm a lover, not a fighter
They always say that I'm a lover not a fighter
Til a head hits the ground before feels a little lighter

They like to tell me I'm a lover, not a fighter
They like to think that I'm a lover, not a fighter
They always say that I'm a lover not a fighter
Til a head hits the ground and it feels a little lighter

[Verse 1]
From the
Hole in the back of it, clapping fast and I'm accurate, stab or gash til you panic and
Jab a man in the abdomen
Wrap a massive package in wrapping paper and pass it on to my family and brethren, that's my album, I'm rapping classics, that is

Track after track of a
Badder man that can master and mix his own
Shit and smash the criteria of a rapper, as well as of a producer so looking into the future, you can expect to see me flying high like a paratrooper, that is

Recruiting features from names that are on the A list and playing on stages bigger than names that just couldn't make it, unveil my shit wait for my label to pay my wages get it in within the week, I won't have to be waiting ages for the

Payment and royalties royally bestowed upon me like the crown and scepter that I'll inevitably get and when the day is at hand that you can say the game is saved at least you'll know who to look to and to administer your praise and that is

The guy in front of you killing tracks like it's nothing and summoning the spirits of every lyricist that's given a million percent in every move that they ever made, that's from having the fans a-bouncing to tactically throwing shade

So take a crack if you think that your rapping's ill enough, could use some competition but doubt anyone'll bite or even try and make a move against a guy with a pen as ill as mine coz you'll get left in a state, regardless as always

[Hook]
They like to tell me I'm a lover, not a fighter
They like to think that I'm a lover, not a fighter
They always say that I'm a lover not a fighter
Til a head hits the ground before feels a little lighter

They like to tell me I'm a lover, not a fighter
They like to think that I'm a lover, not a fighter
They always say that I'm a lover not a fighter
Til a head hits the ground and it feels a little lighter

[Bridge]
But I've been fighting for ages, inner demons, outer racists, ageists, players, closest family and friends that try to stigmatise afflictions they don't have to live with while I sit and writhe, admit myself that I can be a little hard to put up with at times...

[Verse 2]
But I don't care what they gotta say
Hey, I'll do me and you motherfuckers stay
Straight living repetitive lives while I'm getting ahead
And I bet than when I'm in my delicate sheets feeling elegant
Open my eyes at whenever the fuck that I think that it's time to wake up you'll be missing the guy you decided to straight push away because one of these days...

Fuck it, today. Well I'm pushing everyone else back
I'll make it short so there ain't even need to send back
5 words to summarise how I feel. On my count, if you feel the same way then shout out:

1, 2, 3
FUCK EVERYBODY THAT ISN'T ME!

I've been bitter with people
And at times, it's gone savage
Not a single one of them have dared deny my talent
I'm fulfilling my destiny as a scribe
I'm here and it's my time
I'm bright and I fucking shine
Living up to my middle name

It's bait, fake playaz don't prevail
Wanna gas you up like I was when I first heard Hail
Uggh

Feel that?
(Clap clap)
Peel back
(Wigs fast)
White boys
(Act black?)
Oh No!
(Stop that)

It's just embarrassing' so leave it to niggas to say nigga
And pull triggers at figures that ain't with us and leave splinters in every finger that'd pull against us
Bitch I'm insensitive and set in my ways but

[Outro]
I still proclaim that I'm a lover, not a fighter
I like to think that I'm a lover, not a fighter
I'll always say that I'm a lover not a fighter
I don't smoke anymore but I still carry a lighter

I've always thought that I'm a lover, not a fighter
I swear to god that I'm a lover, not a fighter
I pinky promise I'm a lover not a fighter
I make music for people who need their day a little brighter
