Deaf Kid - IAME

It’s Lame the deaf kid, I ain’t even tryna hear you

Save your breath, it’ll be a better look than your empty rhetoric

No, I ain’t a hater--maybe just a little bit

Lot of folks came and went and went

More bitter than when they enter, go figure

This biz that we’re in means men will bends for the scratch

But I’m no gymnast

Try to bend over backwards to get rid of this itch

Went broke in the process (Damn it)

Guess I should’ve stretched proper

I should have these labels making the best offer

Lame should be a household name

I should be the reigning champ, I should rock two rings

Like my man Illmac, homie what you think?

(Well, I mean…)

Never mind what you think

This my grind time, shouts to Drect

Lame is the future and I won’t relent

IAME, I’ll always be my enemy and my vice is BF-F

And the mic is my secret weapon

Cause on it I fight back

Only thing in my life that I can sometimes control

Is the crowd and my deep breaths

So I take one

And I make fun of myself and the world around me

Try and make light, but I never take lightly the burden I proudly

Carry for the people that surround me

For the heaviness of the concepts that astound me

This is Heaven Noise and it sounds free

Cause I don’t compromise my integrity

In other words, they ain’t raping me

And the shiny accolades don’t define me

If a bullet-proof Escalade’s where you’ll find me

I’m in a motorcade, First Lady beside me

And I don’t mean Michelle

I mean if I ruled the world like Nas and Ms. Hill

Though I’m writing for strangers like Larry

They can feel this in their live souls like Mad

And what the rest of y’all tryna pass off

As dope ain’t, I’m just making that call

(So) Back off, someone’s probably said this

But my crew has more members than a House of Representatives

Sandpeople in the house, I’m representing it

Oldominion’s in the building when I step in it

What you really want now?

Huh?

You not getting it

See how fast a gang of motherfuckers made a mess of it

But even alone, I’ll make one

Make fun of myself and the world around me

Try to make light, but I never take lightly the burden I proudly

Carry for my people that surround me

For the heaviness of the concepts that astound me

This is Heaven Noise and it sounds free

Cause I don’t compromise my integrity

So who wants to battle me?

There’s no B-Rabbit in me

I’m no Energizer batter

I can’t just keep going, it’s the ADD

When I’m fully focused, I’m deadly with lines

But I used to only focus after deadlier lines

What I put up my nose told me that I was fine

I’ve always been slow, it just sped up my mind

And I’ve said plenty of times, yet it’s too powerful

This the part in power dudes that missed the power drill

References out of left field, obscure

Some undecipherable as God’s word

Landed on this rock, third from the sun

Left crop circles, there’s still work to be done

As far out as the cosmos is where I’ve gone

And I still come back to potholes in my lawn

I’ll never escape them

So I make fun of myself and the world around me

Try to make light, but I never take lightly the burden I proudly

Carry for my people that surround me

For the heaviness of the concepts that astound me

This is Heaven Noise and it sounds free

Cause I don’t compromise my integrity
