ALL CAPS Remix
[LYRICS]
For a second forget whether I am in the pocket or out
Take your brain out of your pocket and listen to try to understand what I am talking 'bout
All I ask is that you walk around my chalk on the ground
Admire from a far without trying to alter my clouds
Cause then it all gets rained over
I reign over the kingdom ain't no stopping the takeover
Like [We runnin' this rap-] Stop, now understand I'm stunning these rap cliques
And everybody's wanting a classic but you ain't gonna get that if you are stuck in the past
It's a prejudice against the game today, you see I hate to say it but it seems we're scared to rate better than Ilmatic
I ain't trying to outdo Earl or Capital Steez, I just happen to be
Rappin' with ease as a passionate teen
15 living with a stuck shift key
I swiftly spit 16s through trip beams
To get in the rap game, that's mission impossible
Everyday I face a different obstacle
Everybody's giving advice and I can't listen to all of you
Cause then when I make it I'll feel like I should be mentioning all of you

"The person with the experience is never at the mercy of the person with the argument"

Well, that all depends on perception
Sanity as well, now let me lend a suggestion
The industry needs to stop bickering over legends
That already made it and take a look at the next generation
So while you argue over Pac vs. Big
Remmeber not every new emcee is an obnoxious kid
And I'm not trying to say I'm anything special
Cause I'm just like the rest . .
