Worth More by POETIK Lyrics
[Chorus: Mr Tanoa]
Let me tell you all now, so y'all don't take it as a joke
It's a god-given gift, so I'ma spend it with the folk
I was placed here but swore one day I would quote
To be born the very best, I get cocky with the flow
I believe in what I'm doin', what I'm doin's worth more
I'ma go X-Men, take the world by storm
I'ma make it rain verses, take cover, it's gon' slow
See the words that I've written gets the troublin' so cold
[Verse 1: Poetik]
Don't be puttin' lemon slices in my drink, sip it straight
At times I just get tired of dodgin' haters, fuck your bullets straight
Smokin', contemplate my mental state, fresh, young and debonair
Sit up on my throne between the legs while she braids my hair
And here I go, fresh out the liquor store, doin' what I does
Never sell out with my raps, stayin' real, and that's a fact
Go commercial if you want, I'll stay committed to the hood
Talkin' loud like you gon' do something I really wish you would
If this is my time to shine, then let me shine
If today is my day to die, then let me ride for the six-eighty-five
I'ma do that one more 'gain, scribe with the pen
And rhymin' alliance, stand out with a bottle of gin
Spit verses, hollow point tipped it, driven by my ambitions
Don't consume but my afflictions paranoid of my suspicions
Music's the air I breathe, hip-hop is the way I bleed
Inject the cypher just to vent, but the menace no contest, get the fuck out of here
[Chorus: Mr Tanoa]
Let me tell you all now, so y'all don't take it as a joke
It's a god-given gift, so I'ma spend it with the folk
I was placed here but swore one day I would quote
To be born the very best, I get cocky with the flow
I believe in what I'm doin', what I'm doin's worth more
I'ma go X-Men, take the world by storm
I'ma make it rain verses, take cover, it's gon' slow
See the words that I've written gets the troublin' so cold
[Verse 2: Phili]
Better get that right, ignite the mic with a thousand pounds of flames
I'ma serve these fools with natural urges to get my point across
Commence a diversion 'til certain equations get calculated
Time tickin', bodies submerged, stay methylated
My flow cocky, [?] out your body, hey
My music mercenaries brought up from the plantation
Mediocre talent with a mic and couple of bags of Blue Stick
Call it the third eye, the mark of the Buddha
Whenever I'm in the zone, pen to the pad
Building a bond, finding the time in hand
Overflowin' your mental state with a gang of scriptures (*inhale*, ahh)
[Chorus: Mr Tanoa (fade out)]
Let me tell you all now, so y'all don't take it as a joke
It's a god-given gift, so I'ma spend it with the folk
I was placed here but swore one day I would quote
To be born the very best, I get cocky with the flow
I believe in what I'm doin', what I'm doin's worth more
I'ma go X-Men, take the world by storm
I'ma make it rain verses, take cover, it's gon' slow
See the words that I've written gets the troublin' so cold
Let me tell you all now, so y'all don't take it as a joke
It's a god-given gift, so I'ma spend it with the folk
I was placed here but swore one day I would quote
To be born the very best, I get cocky with the flow
I believe in what I'm doin', what I'm doin's worth more
I'ma go X-Men, take the world by storm
