Why I Rap Part 1 by Theadamsmasher (TOLS) Lyrics
[Intro: Theadamsmasher (TOLS) & Beast Inside Beats]
Yeah it's me
It's time y'all know why I rap
Cause I won't be here for long
"Beast Inside Beats"
Let's do this, uh uh
[Verse 1: Theadamsmasher (TOLS)]
Let me get straight to the gist of this
Generally speaking, I consider myself a pacifist
They think that makes me weak, and so they insist
On all the hate, makes me wanna talk with my fist
But nah, I started rap just to prove I could do it
Put my mind to the grind and found out there was nothing to it
I'm Mr. Positivity, spitting rhymes and feeling free
Eyes on the prize, but calm as the deep blue sea
I never curse on a track, it's called responsibility
I'm picking up the mission, I'm the pride of my ancestry
Only way I survive is using what God has given em
I got no time to waste, I'm maintaining productivity
International vision is clear as can be
Hard work, [?] and faith is my philosophy
If you don't roll like this then you need to leave
I said, if you don't roll like this then you need to leave yeah
Most rappers talk crime when they spit
Always talking trash, ride or die, and true grit
No me yo, I'm keeping it legit
The cleanest emcee on this 64-bit
Sound waves that ring, melodies that sing
Hype beats that swing, words fresh like Spring
Up off the page, to inspire this age
While I'm making my wage, and breaking out of the cage, yeah
I rap to spread a mess-message with purpose
While the industry's puppets blatantly stunting and cursing themselves
Steadily digging a well, landing homies in cells
I pray God, keeps em from hell yo (yo)
If you think for a minute that I'm special, I'm not
I just had enough courage to give this as shot
Rap is in a new phase and I'm twisting the plot
Freeing up the confusion and I'm untying the knots
I'm just your average student, making his name
Just trying to stay prudent, while perfecting his game
Yes there's room for improvement, people say its lame
But I do this for amusement, not a lust for the fame, ha
Stay flexible from the field to the fridge
Whether I'm engineering a new mix or I'm building a bridge
Helping pull my generation, out of a ditch
Changing it up like, the flip of a switch yeah
I'm investing in my soul, not in it for the bread
Who knows, by the time you hear this, I'm probably dead
And even though my body, is deep down in its grave
Just remember in the Hereafter I pray for you and your kin
"May all God Almighty forgive every sin."
Cause you stayed true to your word and you didn't pretend
And you listed to this song all the way to the end
Yeah it's me
It's time y'all know why I rap
Cause I won't be here for long
