lyrics

I worry about success more than any average human being should
Especially with not being considered that good
Not being that rich but rich enough to get myself outta raps ditch
Help myself to this rap history
Ignore me if you wanna
I've been looked over
My whole life being shorter
My supporters must be a tall order
I've been hurt more than celebrated
I keep it all in like a hoarder

I'm a pessimistic optimist
I'm a living being living thru a zombie apocalypse
My group and I should be at the top of ya list
So many quick to forget
Our phenomenal hits
I sit
Patiently waiting
Knowing we got a stake in
More hearts than vampire slayers how can I stay zen
I have to know that Theres more like me let's be friends
Wave ya hands in air for the forsaken

Who's forsaken? - I'm forsaken
Who's been taken for granted? - I've been taken
Wanna see ya dead - dey said - I'm a break em
Not today Satan - not today Satan

Who's forsaken? - I'm forsaken
Who's been taken for granted? - I've been taken
Wanna see ya dead - dey said - I'm a break em
Not today Satan - not today Satan

I’d like to get things off my chest
You know when y’all mention who’s the best
My names not mentioned more nor less
In fact its not mentioned at all - so let's talk
And let's walk, take a stroll down memory lane
Since day one swimming up stream not in the main
Not in the mainframe, not in the same gang
I’m answering all these critics just like phone rang
Elders in the group because we needed that in the community
Men and women in the same group we needed that Black unity
Thick and curvy sisters, skinny misters its you and me
First to represent rap in melody man we true indeed
Videos from the rural south
Everyone else would rule that out
We put that in the fore front
We could have lost it all son
No materialism we some raw ones
Songs feel like raw fun
Biddy bye bye bye at a party and its all done

I'm a pessimistic optimist
I'm a living being living thru a zombie apocalypse
My group and I Should be at the Top of ya list
So many quick to forget
Our phenomenal hits
I sit
Patiently waiting
Knowing we got a stake in
More hearts than vampire slayers how can I stay zen
I have to know that theres more like me let's be friends
Wave ya hands in air for the forsaken

Who's forsaken? - I'm forsaken
Who's been taken for granted? - I've been taken
Wanna see me dead - Dey said - I'm a break em
Not today Satan - not today Satan

Who's forsaken? - I'm forsaken
Who's been taken for granted? - I've been taken
Wanna see me dead - Dey said - I'm a break em
Not today Satan - not today Satan
Not today
