[Intro: Inspectah Deck]
|
There comes a time when you'll be stripped of your stripes
|
Take away the accolades, and look yourself in the face, you know
|
No lactose, just a reality dose
|
We keep it true, yeah, yo
|
|
[Chorus: Inspectah Deck]
|
You wanna be large, you wanna be hard
|
You wanna be God, you're not quite
|
You wanna be thugs, you wanna be Bloods
|
You wanna be loved, is that right?
|
You wanna be friends, you wanna be him
|
You wanna be them, you act like
|
You wanna be live, you wanna be fly
|
You wanna be high, I gotta be me
|
|
[Inspectah Deck]
|
Born July 6th, 3:23
|
With a finger for the world up in front of me
|
Had the gall, had a ball, but ain't have shit
|
Played the hall, played some ball, average black kid
|
With a passion to live and see the lands
|
Without sacrificin' my soul or meet demands
|
I strive for what I live for, me and my Clan
|
And searched for provocative plans to feed the Fam
|
This is no act or mirage, never rocked a corsage
|
Spanned the globe on roam, nobody God
|
See everybody's a thug, everybody sold drugs
|
Everybody rocked an ice cold mug
|
Most killas I know, is either six feet below
|
Or lost in the system, doin' years in the hole
|
It's the changin' of the God, witness the move
|
But your feet not big enough to fit in my shoes, nigga
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Inspectah Deck]
|
Far from the inventor, like Notorious said
|
But I'm quick to pull my sword and it's off with your head
|
I never was a dick rider, you never see me try to
|
Be like that dude, soft, plus, he wack too
|
Put the money on wood, make it all good
|
Then make arrangements, I'm bringin' my hood
|
Pushin' four wheel motion with the sounds and tints
|
In suspense, ya'll snake eyes bounce off the tents
|
See, they rent cars and jewels to fool you
|
In the video, actin' like, that's how they really flow
|
But only a low percentage know
|
Only five every hundred make dough, they say so
|
Oh, you got a rollie plus a six point o
|
But no, you're not authentic, you're just for show
|
Lookin' for the next free ride to latch on
|
In the short amount of time, watch the world catch on that
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Inspectah Deck]
|
And that's who I be
|
Money back guarantee, if it's not quality
|
This here's official, if not, I wouldn't hit you
|
I gotta be true, I take offense to the issue
|
Not your typical rituals I chant
|
Givin' the chance, watch it rain like an Indian dance
|
State it like Abe, at Gettysburg, bet he's heard
|
Through galaxies, aliens stuck on every word
|
Livin' legend, veteran known to set trend
|
Flex powers on the mic, like the X-Men
|
Destined to hit the hall of fame, quick
|
But ya'll kick the same lame shit
|
Kick 'em in the groin, for playin' both sides of the coin
|
Now who will be the next click you join
|
I stand on my own two feet, truly unique
|
That's the difference between you and me, you wanna be
|
|
[Chorus 2X]
|

U Wanna Be
