Mathew Vs. Xavier by EmmExx Lyrics
Let me introduce myself
I go by Emm-Exx
This is an auto-biography.
Shout-out to Young Star for giving me this beat
(Verse 1)
Only 17 years young, and feeling insane
Those who know me well have çalled me Shane
Time for something new, it’s time for change
I’m now going by my middle, cause my first is lame
I have 2 middle names, Mathew-Xavier
It's a perfect fit, describing my behavior
Each name stands for a personality
I have 2, each with originality
It's sort of like a battle between me and my conscious
Looking out for me, saying avoid all nonsense
Two voices on my shoulders, arguing with each other
An angel and a devil going at one another
By no means though, am I religious
Only on a quest to be rich and famous
Can't take this routine life any more
This is not what I was born for
2 people in one, I must have a disease
Wanna-bes sticking out their hands when I sneeze
Cause when I say I'm sick, they think its contagious
My flow is smooth, and my lyrics are outrageous
My life is not controlled by some prescription pill
Some wordplay there, that shit was clever
Your choice. you can like me now or never
Until I’m the shit, I will endevour
Don’t care if I have to write forever
(Verse 2)
Mathew is the calm me, a laid-back fellow
Not much to say, just feel real mellow
Get A's in school and act real cool
Class President, still being a fool
Never being absent, preparing for college
So I can go and pay for unwanted knowledge
How will chemistry and english help me account?
I'm good with numbers, always get the right amount
Ordinary, Average Mathew is nothing great
Same thing everyday, ignoring my fate
Yet, This is the me that everybody sees
Get a first impression and they think they know me
(Verse 3)
But there's something that they don't know
About my other side, my alter-ego
The wild side, slightly ghetto
Raised with 6 black friends in a student home
One other white kid though, I wasn't alone
We came real close, like family, like brothas
Not watching my back, knowing we all have eachothas
They got me loving rap, and wanting to ryhme
But I was only 6 or seven at the time
As I got older the feeling stayed the same
I got better and practiced for the game
Tell myself everyday, I will have that fame
This is Xavier, this is my dream
I picture having lots of fans, attention and green
When I say green, I mean 2 things
One buys me shit, the other gives me wings
The only 2 necessities I need
A shit load of cash and a little bit of weed
Money is the object controlling the world
Get me anything I want. I could pick any girl
Buying by the ounce, or even a pound
Stuff fat blunts, then smoke then down
Down all the their stingers
When its too hot to hold in your fingers
Wake up, Bake up, smoke til the high has begun
Living the good life, everyday is fun
No more schedule, no more schools
Care-free. Only obeying my rules
Keep smoking till its all diminished
Til I smoke that last gram, I ain't finished
Fuck a god, I am my own savior
Mathew is dull, compared to Xavier.
