Pound Cake Freestyle by Emmanuel B Lyrics
[intro: Tupac]
They know that everyday when I’m breathing it’s for us to go farther. Every time I speak I want the truth to come out. Every time I speak I want a shiver
[Verse 1]
Stepped into the ring with my head first
Chest first
All I want to do is write a quick verse
Hearts on my sleeve but you had yours in reverse
I spill blood on the page then have it dispersed
People wish you well, but they mean worse
It's quite ironic how nothing was the same since that control verse
Deep down I feel like I don’t know where I’m at
Deep down I feel like I’m just going off track *aye*
Deep down I feel like most of these rappers are whack *damn*
I know my mum's prayers, is what’s keeping me intact
I’m in a jungle full of snakes and a few lions
But these serpents can’t tempt me, I pray to Zion
I’m in tune with the most high
I heard I’ll be one of the greats from the Grapevine
As long as I stay consistent, my lyricism is evident
Black thought-provoking lines, you think randomly occurred
I’m not freestyling these words
I put the pen to the pad then the magic occurs
I’ve been blessed with a gift, but the truth is I’m cursed
How do you get the gift and try to ignore the curse
If we look deep down, and we go back to the roots
You’ll figure out Everybody’s just in quest for some love
I look for strength from above
I look for strength from above
[Verse 2]
God’s grace has ever been so gracious
I pray for patience, understanding, and perseverance
Most importantly I need a lot of wisdom
If you’re Trynna be successful?
You need more than motivation *yeah*
You need skills, you need an education
It takes time, you need some dedication
So practice your lines, one word at a time
Very soon you’ll end up in a gold mine
Overnight success really takes a couple years
But don’t be scared, just be prepared
You have one shot better aim for the head
Keep on chasing your dreams, and don’t be wishing instead
If Reggie Nelson, ain’t motivation tell me who is?
You ever knocked on the door of opportunity feeling clueless
But the truth is, cus even when you post this
Some might act like they don’t notice
But just stay focused
Because that’s just how humans do
I mean, how many people thought Justin Ug was jokes
Now they laugh at his jokes
So if you feel this song is dope, go ahead and promote
Support your bro, support your friends
Word to the Rakim
I never sweat the technique
Just go and bless the best beats
I bring fear to Mcs
You can’t step to me
I swear you’re shook
Your mob ain’t deep
You don’t even practice what you preach
Difference with me?
I just teach what I practice
I keep going at it
Blessing the flows, like John the Baptist
I’ve been the baddest
Been on the low like the spring in the mattress
Premeditated thoughts I just sprayed on the canvas
Don’t compare with these rappers
Most of them are just average
You thought his verse was dope?
I just raised the standards, bastards!
They know that everyday when I’m breathing it’s for us to go farther. Every time I speak I want the truth to come out. Every time I speak I want a shiver
