Petty by Ruslan Lyrics
[Verse 1: Ruslan]
Travel the road of espionage for my soul now I'm really trying expose who in the world has been a culprit
All of the cobras come out when it's time to open it now, and I'm steady dealing with doubt, like "Am I just a showman?"
I want to show him to everyone who's not looking so they can avoid the shooken surprise of the coming omen
I only been warming up, this is not my final form
Wait 'till I start showing up, enter in the final four
Don't care 'bout brackets though
A triple threat is back before
The runner up is done enough
The number one is masterful
Blasphemy is last to me, simply how it has to be
To lay down a foundation for everyone coming after me
Nothing in life is handed, not a reason to panic
We don't have to remain a victim, even though we've all been damaged
I don't have to become what I was yesterday, I'm a brand new canvas...
[Hook: Ruslan]
I really wanna be petty and write a battle rap about a battle rapper
My crew told me not to do that, do that
And I don't want to give attention to someone that don't deserve it
Why would I ever go do that, do that? (for real)
Seize the day, ease the pain, change the way I see the day
Everyday I gotta do that, do that (for sure)
And if I have a moment to say something why wouldn't I say something?
Only right I do that, do that
[Verse 2: Ruslan]
Everything changed the day I met the big homies
Future Shock, they put me on and never stopped praying for me
Now I finally grew up and they say that they proud of me (why)
'Cause the man I'm becoming, not the just 'cause the crowds love me
Though I'm more pillow talk, the paradigm's a fisheye
The samples not cleared, so sue me, Eric Bischoff
It's a new world order supporters who do endure us
I consider them to be friends, so I'm tearing down the borders
Between my platform and people that really be caring for us
That early to the performance, I'm glad that they don't ignore us
They say that I'm charismatic, I'm glad they holding my shoulders
The reason my hands are high is 'cause they did most of it for us
I'm looking to know myself better than knowing all he brought me through
'Cause of that, being a bitter rapper isn't optional
There's so many other things I could rap about, I promise
But if I really had to be honest...
[Hook: Ruslan]

Ain't ready for the switch up
Ain't ready for the switch up
Ain't ready for the switch up
[Verse 3: Ruslan]
I travel a long road, can't keep my arms fold, did on them strongholds, I'm onto it
Seeing the song told, speaking of [?], selling my own soul, I won't do it
Bringing the opposition, I'm speaking but I'mma listen, the people will see the vision, they own movement
I'm just a face, the piece of the puzzle to speak to be struggle that we can rebuttal, we gon' prove it
Matter fact, no more battle raps
Can't see clear? Treat your cataracts
Speak the truth, just a matter fact
We live in the age of the time where the sight of the blind can be restored in a matter of time, I'm glad I'm alive
[Bridge 2: Ruslan]
Ain't ready for the switch up, no
Ain't ready for the switch up, no
Ain't ready for the switch up, no
[Outro: Ruslan] (x2)
Ain't ready for the switch up
Ain't ready for the switch up
Ain't ready for the switch up, no

Sugar in the raw
Elevation, high low-key, we're taking off
