Competitive Nature

Lyrics

[V1] I want to win. At all costs Till every son of a bitch that snubbed the kid is long gone And every fucking sin on my bucket list is crossed off I'm an all-star on a loaded roster that got off to a false start But then stalled in the wrong ballpark, Had a major shot, played to a strong draw But I was X'd out. Probable Kaws? Art I ain't just good, kid, I'm the top dog with a loud bark When I want a moment of silence… I'll ask you what my flaws are And in the end, niggas post up frozen like Narduwar Rock star with the flow! Poser bros get exposed As popular frauds who can only come with an image like Don Jon Sharkeisha. Period, When there's blood in the water, I drop jaws An ensemble that's authentic Cast as non-credited extras in the Hip Hop documentary yawn-a-thon I'm here to re-edit, embed it with everything QN5 is on Preventive measures are taken, so there's a bar lost My competitive nature's mistaken for hate, I caught y'all Big fish in a small-pond niggas singing our Swan song Isn't this typical? It's all our fault Witness the business move as they outlaw salt When favors were called on, in a pinch, that's all y'all brought to the mix So now history is just false by default With the industry's trickery now them broad lies is bought But the sense of vengeance within me's killing me, I oughta find the resolve to let it go [HOOK] There's nothing you can do that can't be done There's nothing you can win that can't be won Don't want it anymore, so I gotta let it go There's nothing you can sing that can't be sung There's nothing you can bring that can't be brung Don't want it anymore, so I gotta let it go of my competitive nature I gotta let it go of my competitive nature I can't make you love me - no! I gotta let it go of my competitive nature I gotta let it go of my competitive nature [V2] See, everybody wanna be the best - but do none of the work Leave you to cook dinner then come for the desert Well there's nothing they can do that I can't, but that doesn't work in reverse Ain't another person on earth this versatile when I turn a verse I let Polymer serve the purpose to further confirm these terms, but it won't - Cause sheep think everyone is the GOAT - ya heard? And the herd has heard of me, but they never heard me and it's tragic This urban legend gets censored –press has cursed me with a past And I'm banned, because the word "veteran" is the dirtiest in rap/ And then with my level of longevity - I never tire when I kick the facts They reinvent the wheel – Auto-Tune it to fix the flat Here's a single comparison - Let's mix and match – Now dig the pattern: When they get to smoke, they'll take 2 hits and pass But by the metronome, niggas'll get two clicks and gasp With no breath control, Now they're a vegetable These pussy liars get put on a pedestal, Expect that Tone average 6 bars in a breath And it's a spectacle, Shit's off the wall, like it was a Pettis blow Tell me you heard somebody better, bro! Now dead it, yo The best technical rapper alive! What do I gain from it? I'll comfortably say, "Nothing" when it comes to the paying public If someone with cake does it, it's suddenly gangbusters So, fuck who you name, buddy, who's buzzing'll change dozens Of times, in a case study – if one of us gains love We're divided, we chase money and become what we hate for something we like [V3] I used to watch these awards shows with tears in my eyes Cause I was supposed to be there in my mind And here were these guys who'd appear overnight, that'd be stealing my shine And I had spent so many years of my time, recording and performing And writing lyrics since 9, shit my career was my life Failure was death, son I'd only disappear if I die We're talking serious drive - off of a cliff No partner assist or inept investors who'd be steering him wide Y'all hearing them rhymes? Shit's clearly a crime – they're scarier live So, when some other peer would get signed It would spear me inside, stressed and depressed behind the veneer of my smile But I had to face the facts so let me put a mirror to mine See, my fear is to lay - in a coffin, After I'd accomplished Only a fraction of my thoughts and feel cheated of all my progress So cheer me on till the funeral. Here we are in the rawness: See those that have what you want, did what you knew could do But couldn't cause it wouldn't be true to you You don't wanna make music for douchey dudes? Then do whatever suits you - it's cool But the proof's in the putting, you moved in them shoes [HARDCORE] The most brutal music is fueled by the truth If there's an improvement in you - money who in the fuck is you losing to? So, test your limits and pursue the goals that you control The only assertion about winning shit that you should know - Is success will determine if you're driven or delusional Peace [\\\---BROKEN ARROW-->] Broken arrow good for nothing when there's nothing left to slay Let these torn and tattered close impose their stories on the stains Oh, they're aiming for me now They want proof I know my way around a bow & arrow Let these torn and tattered close impose their stories on the stains
