The Tiebreaker by Behan the Scene Lyrics

I unroll this blueprint in mint condition, flattening it with the patterned creases along my palms.
You’re drawn to my songs, so you ought to be copying what I’m saying now.
I should be down and out for the count, but I’m looking at this design
You could say I got an eye for what’s spick-and-span, but it’s getting old; I’ve been benign.
I have been trying to be you, I have always felt free to.
I heard that we are all equal
You constructed a box you were into
Inside
A mime
Pretending like you couldn’t break through
While I was having a break-through
Both ways
No use
I was acting but needed a take-two
And you take too
They boo us, a few, ample
Because we don’ went head to head
Neck to neck
Back to back
Aftermath
Copycats
You and I
Mocking each other
Why, oh, why?
Envy one another
Yes, that’s why.
It’s a tie between us, waiting to be broken like a fixture
Or a team in deficit
Or a career-ending, defining injury
We’re tied in a dispute over who’s better
Rather than bettering ourselves
Alpha and Omega
Because this is the culture of Hip-Hop
Rappers
Players
Defending their
Lane
Turf
Until there is a tiebreaker
That gets the best of us all.
