The Headline - Live at The Forum

Y'know, it took me a while

I guess I kinda had to get used to it and readjust

But I think I'm starting to like it here

Rocking on blind faith with no MySpace affirmation

I do it the opposite of the highway

And I'll be happy just as long as I can say that

Causing ripples in the river with the playback

Like "Extra, extra, read all about it

Village idiot takes over the whole township"

Shit, I cut my own keys to the city

Me and A-diddy and whoever else wanna roll with me

I write my home brand of battle rap magic

If y'all can't dig 'em, then shit, well that's tragic

But don't think for a second I'd ever change the method

To fit your idiot box idea of what's impressive

We got you second-guessing, but the truth is

Them new kids bringing the freshness to the set list

I stay super fly with or without the suit and tie

While these other mother-hustlers sit and scrutinise

I'm doing fine, thanks for asking

Move along now, best believe that it's on now

See all I need is a mic and a CD-R

I'mma remind these city folk what it's like to see the stars

There's only so many hours in the day

But each one's a chance for each of us to have a mate

So you get yours and I'll mine

The headline reads clear, now we here to stay

I said no longer will I hide my lows, I hold my head up high

Cause I know now I'mma make it, take it one step at a time

Heart, mind and soul, the foundations of greatness

Found inside every track of the playlist

And I can see it in your faces

To say we touch base when I'm on stage would be an understatement

Hush baby, don't say shit

Let's make real music, throw it on, disconnect from the matrix

And you can say what you like

But calling me wack's one underestimation you do not want to make kid

See I'm a firm believer in speak softly and carry a big heart

And use it to believe in things

So I stay on the grind, chasing the limelight

Rocking prime time with my partners in crime

Cause I got dreams to be that emcee who writes something

To brighten someone's day, like so many have been to me

So please believe that piece by piece

We gonna put it all together till the people scream

We getting off scot-free due to lack of evidence

When we do a hit and run on your premises

See, my crew move like a shooting star

"And we put it in your ear, no matter who you are"
