The Calm Before by The Wordshipper Lyrics
[Hook]
Life is like a video game but you can’t cheat your way out of death
Life is like a bill you can’t pay cause you be in everlasting debt
Life is like a video game but you can’t cheat your way out of death
Life is like a bill you can’t pay cause you be in everlasting debt
[Verse 1]
I’ll say whatever I want. They will never censor it
Else I’m coming for they throat, this I fuckin’ wrote
Don’t discredit my ability to make music
It’s only gon’ cause a disturbance, cause I been at it for a while now
I think I know my fuckin place but Ima leave it now
Think I know my own way so Ima lead it now
All these rappers coming up, ain’t got no talent now
Mumble bout bitches and sippin’ lean this is rap now
Fuck that, hold my cup, Ima dead this fucking beat
By the time I’m finished with it, it gon’ need an IV
Brothers be murdering brothers, this the type of shit that I always see, whether I’m outside or watching these depictions on the TV screen
[Hook]
Life is like a video game but you can’t cheat your way out of death
Life is like a bill you can’t pay cause you be in everlasting debt
Life is like a video game but you can’t cheat your way out of death
Life is like a bill you can’t pay cause you be in everlasting debt
Life is like a video game but you can’t cheat your way out of death
Life is like a bill you can’t pay cause you be in everlasting debt
Life is like a video game but you can’t cheat your way out of death
Life is like a bill you can’t pay cause you be in everlasting debt
[Verse 2]
Look
I been rappin’ for some time now, and I’d like to ask you to sit down
Speak to me and allow me to pick up the mic and spill it all out
I honestly don’t like the way that you been treating my family
It’s evident you need a reality check, but you chasing a fantasy
Mac and X in the same damn year, who’s next?
Fuck the pills and murderers roaming the streets and bet
If it was switched on them and their family member was gunned downed
They’d want the murders to stop, asking to put the gun down
Check the stats in this game of life
Nah I ain’t got enough points but still I rhyme right
And what will happen if I never see the lime light?
Then I’d know that I did it right, that I did you right
[Hook]
Life is like a video game but you can’t cheat your way out of death
Life is like a bill you can’t pay cause you be in everlasting debt
Life is like a video game but you can’t cheat your way out of death
Life is like a bill you can’t pay cause you be in everlasting debt..
[Verse 3]
This is the calm before the storm
I’m a fucking hurricane
Cat 5 like 2k
Yeah I best be getting paid
They sweat me like they ran a 5k
They ain’t even see me coming, I’m in tip top shape
Rather not talk about the past, less we talking basketball, pass the ball
Fore I take it with ease, kill every beat with ease
Being this good is a disease
I got rap pinned up on the mat, while it’s on its back, nah I don’t buck back
Man what the hell just happened?
I was suddenly rapping
Real shit I’m trapping
Boomin’ in the studio, don’t confuse it
But back to that real shit you know that it’s boomin
Life is like a video game but you can’t cheat your way out of death
Life is like a bill you can’t pay cause you be in everlasting debt
Life is like a video game but you can’t cheat your way out of death
Life is like a bill you can’t pay cause you be in everlasting debt
[Verse 1]
I’ll say whatever I want. They will never censor it
Else I’m coming for they throat, this I fuckin’ wrote
Don’t discredit my ability to make music
