Been This Way - Scribe

Every MC in this industry wants one thing

To be the best in the top of their game

You want it?

Come and get me!

Do what you gotta do (come and get me !)

I came from the struggle;

I’m bringing my pain with me

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray

Yo, I been this way since back in the day YUP

Do what you gotta do (come and get me !)

I came from the struggle;

I’m bringing my pain with me

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray

Yo, I been this way since back in the day

(Yo Shan, lets take 'em)

You couldn’t rock a joint with a mic and a pound of weed

You couldn’t get a point across with a pen and a key of P

You couldn’t get high as me with two tabs of LSD

Cool as a cucumber with two sticks of celery

Spit like watermelon pips from your juju lips

Hands mo callus can see excel from the mics I rip

My rhyme patterns supreme mm the baddest

Fresh — woo — my flows the fattest

Yeah and I gotta do this for those that never had it

But climbed the ladder only to watch all their dreams shatter

They doubled my pain;

I tripled my skills in hip-hop

Quadrupled my strength, quintupled my props — yo

I got it locked yo and I’m ready to drop yo

And you can hit me with everything that you got yo

But I will not fall or trip over obstacles

Its logical I’m gonna run hip hop into the cortical

Do what you gotta do (come and get me !)

I came from the struggle;

I’m bringing my pain with me

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray

Yo, I been this way since back in the day YUP

Do what you gotta do (come and get me !)

I came from the struggle;

I’m bringing my pain with me

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray

Yo, I been this way since back in the day

Verse two, I stepped up and I made moves

I stayed true and like flows I paid dues

And came through slicing biters like Blade II

'Cause they knew I came to take out fake crews

And take you if that’s what it comes down to

Tryna break through and go triple platinum like Che Fu (True)

Still I’m tighter than the Al-Qaeda with corn braids

Lines heavy like if you wake the whole with Dawn Raid

Fuck them and let them see I’m all yeah

I went back to the true school like DJ Sir Vere

So who the, who the fuck said that Scribe wasn’t deep

Yo I’m deep like Mareko’s voice tone when he speaks

And I’m ill like Uneepa with skills to pay the bills this year

MCs is getting cut like One Tree Hill, for real

I’m still the baddest MC to grab a pad and a pen

Go tell a friend Scribe is at it again.

Yeah

Do what you gotta do (come and get me !)

I came from the struggle;

I’m bringing my pain with me

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray

Yo, I been this way since back in the day YUP

Do what you gotta do (come and get me !)

I came from the struggle;

I’m bringing my pain with me

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray

Yo, I been this way since…

I complete the beat like a snare I come crisp and clear

I’m here to test MCs like it’s their 5th form year

We 'bout to find out who is and who isn’t prepared

About to make careers disappear into thin air

Ask DJ Shan;

yo I’ve been up in here

You’d better get it crystal clear your skill just doesn’t compare

They’re asking who’s the best in the underground

No question the best is on the fucking mic right now!

Do what you gotta do (come and get me !)

I came from the struggle;

I’m bringing my pain with me

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray

Yo, I been this way since back in the day YUP

Do what you gotta do (come and get me !)

I came from the struggle;

I’m bringing my pain with me

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray

Yo, I been this way since back in the day

Yeah now come and get me, I’m waiting

I’ll still be here … when you’re ready
