Say Something - Proverb

'Cause it usually lets you, son we use it to get school

I’m refusing to let you fools ruin this huge intellectual tool

And not using it to spread truth

Who said you can use this music to get jewels?

You spit useless tunes so units could get moved

If you let loose to true heads, then you’d get boo’d

'Cause we see through the stupid and that crew of buffoons

Son you’re blazing lyrically, an amazing delivery

You’re displaying ability but you’re not saying ish to me

Not even occasionally, you’re wasting a beat

Buy dropping knowledge you’d literally making history

So wait with the similies and take the liberty

To make a point on a joint cause it remains a mystery

So until creative get rid of me, the faith is still in me

To keep it real cause all that fake is killing me

Everybody can rap now say something

Everybody can rhyme now say something

Everybody got flow now say something

You stay fronting, when you say nothing

The mistake I’m finding is some of ya’ll rhyme for the sake of rhyming

Just placing lines on a page with timing

Your lips is moving, but without any brains behind them

You saying nothing you might as well be on stage miming

I believe in common sense

But since when is common sense all that common, hence

When I hear senseless I don’t comment since

That’s where commercial nonsense begins and

Conscious ends

But I’m tired of keeping all my honest comments in

And I’m tired of letting it be like Common sense

I kinda sense, there’s a lot counter sense

Too many cats are trying to stack and count the cents

If you gave me 10 cents for every 10 sentences

With intense sense you would’ve been spending since

I’ve counted since all the cats about the ends

There were thousands then but all that’s about to end

Hook

Everybody can rap now say something

Everybody can rhyme now say something

Everybody got flow now say something

You stay fronting, when you say nothing

Some of ya’ll use Logic to record but you never record with logic you ignore

the topics that require thought and knowledge

More knowledge that a 4-year course in college

You’re insulting the hip hop market that went and bought your garbage

The problem is too many cats is in it for the profit

To stop it I tell the market to listen before they cop it

They’re saying «Jack ish» like telling someone to shop lift

It’s quite shocking like sticking a finger in a socket

It don’t take a rocket scientist to rock a bit of science

When you’re rocking it if anything it takes the opposite

Hip hop has always been about being honest when you jot a script

And I’m positive a lot of appers have forgotten this

Talk about a defeated object

When an emcee releases a project with the weakest concepts

It makes me nervous like people speaking of bomb threats

We not just emcees, emcees are teachers from the on set

Everybody can rap now say something

Everybody can rhyme now say something

Everybody got flow now say something

You stay fronting, when you say nothing
