[Lyrics for 4Lyn – Shelltoes & Fatlaces]
Yo,i came a long way (belive that!),
But still know where i started from and where this art is comin´from…
The masters of ceremony.
Rule or cry! do or die! for the microphone…
And i was able to speak but not able to hold a mic.
Was able rhyme, not able to speak them lines right.
But i waited for the day until the time was right.
I wrote all night until then i kept it quiet.(shhh)
There still too many talented mc´s unsigned ,
Too many untalented muthafukkers on my mind.
I get angry when a rookie steps up
With words that don´t make sense.
Tellin´me to get up…like this…
(you wanna battle? you wanna go against me?
I´m the best around as you can see..)
Oh,can´t you see that this is me??? (this is real!)
Oh,can´t you feel that this is real???
First,pay dues to the old school and
Respect the veterans
Or you will never be better than the average rapper.take a look…
Just because you can write doesn´t mean
That you can use a blakkbook.(did you hear me?).
(but you love guitars…) – but i´m true to the game!
(what you do this for??)- yo, i do it for the fame!
(yo,i got mo´cash than you!)-than give me all you can!
But if you´re broke,ask juvinille (“you understand??”)
I don´t roll a benz i got a v-dove.
And all you hiphops get all my love.
Without you i wouldn´t be here (remember that??).
If not, chekk the song called “alina
I don´t want to disrespect.
Don´t blame me if you miss respect.
I just wanted to make one thing clear…(say what?)
My love for hiphop is the reason,why brasko´s still here.
Traditional mc-metaphors…is what i use,
And why i´m gettin´applause.
It´s not about videos,bitches or cars…
It´s about understanding,so keep your creditcard
Shhhhh………
Oh,can´t you see that this is me???
Namebelts, kangols, blokkparties and all that.
Oh,can´t you feel that this is real???
Spraycans, fatcaps, wholecars- FOREVER!!
Oh,can´t you see that this is me???
Uprokk,bakkflips, headspins and sixsteps.
Oh, can´t you feel that this is real???
Shelltoes and our laces were fat!!
