Shogun by Erv Dowd Lyrics
[Hook]
Best to stay focus fighting hunger was the motive
No time was wasted had to get it in the moment
I'm a pay my dues no matter what the fuck they quote it
Practice everyday even if they never notice
Stack in every way yet show no dollars in the open
Rep where you from till death as the slogan
Lead when you speak or they'll never feel the notion
Chief and commander I combat it as the Shogun
[Verse 1]
Move patient with the pawns get position with the knights
I'm a draw it in the day than we can trace it in the night
Couldn't sign to a label cause this bigger than my life
British Airway 9 if the engine out in flight
Walking in with my niggas that's the sound of the knights
At the pinnacle is perfect I was bound for that height
When I seen the stars in heaven it was love at first sight
They gone try and cut me off but I'm null to the knife
When you shine in the dark they gone hate you in the light
I was disciplined and patient I ain't want it over night
They gone miss out on the love you try to give them over likes
Only knocking dime bitches and its never more than twice
Every time the vine twitching I just hope its growing right
Distance never really mattered we can reach it like a snipe
Always been a guarantee my niggas never played for might
Everything I ever did was to contribute to the tribe
[Chorus]
Stars so close if I reach I can touch them
Everything I did I was told that I couldn't
Smart niggas never had to worry bout the muscle
If the play don't work then we can fix it in the huddle
With the right moves you can prosper in a struggle
Simba how I grew up had to learn it in the jungle
Found out I could change shit then I fell in love with hustle
Born for the clutch I ain't never learned to fumble
[Verse 2]
Niggas claim they riding but I'm knowing half them hypocrites
Pro soccer players only niggas that I kick it with
Been about war but ain't need a army to enlist
Even when I take a lost I still know how to benefit
Cripple when I start and I still know how to finish it
Get it from the source Erv ain't never needed middle men
Disciplined on field we ain't giving yards on penalties
Stronger when we made it cause we did it out of misery
Veterans as rookies how my niggas always been elite
Natives in the family how I know I got the blood of Chiefs
DG put me on it we can get the mula in our sleep
Grinding like I'm Burnquist now the X games is my favorite scene
All I had to do was manifest what I was made to be
Careful when deciding when to stand up or take a seat
If you still alive you ain't never even seen defeat
Visions through the left eye and Horus what a nigga seen
No luck my best try is all I ever really needed
Knowing I can't trust these fuck niggas every time they speaking
How these niggas men but ashamed to acknowledge weakness
Humble as a student I'm a let you if you tryna teach me
If he always show it then it probably mean he always need it
Niggas always hated its ironic cause I always peeped it
Careless of the weather I be getting hot in every season
Sowing what I'm knowing I can take when it get time to reap it
[Hook]
Best to stay focus fighting hunger was the motive
No time was wasted had to get it in the moment
I'm a pay my dues no matter what the fuck they quote it
Practice everyday even if they never notice
Stack in every way yet show no dollars in the open
Rep where you from till death as the slogan
Lead when you speak or they'll never feel the notion
Chief and commander I combat it as the Shogun
Best to stay focus fighting hunger was the motive
No time was wasted had to get it in the moment
I'm a pay my dues no matter what the fuck they quote it
Practice everyday even if they never notice
Stack in every way yet show no dollars in the open
Rep where you from till death as the slogan
Lead when you speak or they'll never feel the notion
Chief and commander I combat it as the Shogun
[Chorus]
Stars so close if I reach I can touch them
Everything I did I was told that I couldn't
Smart niggas never had to worry bout the muscle
If the play don't work then we can fix it in the huddle
With the right moves you can prosper in a struggle
Simba how I grew up had to learn it in the jungle
Found out I could change shit then I fell in love with hustle
Born for the clutch I ain't never learned to fumble
Stars so close if I reach I can touch them
Everything I did I was told that I couldn't
Smart niggas never had to worry bout the muscle
If the play don't work then we can fix it in the huddle
With the right moves you can prosper in a struggle
Simba how I grew up had to learn it in the jungle
Found out I could change shit then I fell in love with hustle
Born for the clutch I ain't never learned to fumble
Best to stay focus fighting hunger was the motive
No time was wasted had to get it in the moment
I'm a pay my dues no matter what the fuck they quote it
Practice everyday even if they never notice
