It's been five years, but it's like I never left A whole new lane in the rap game, but I avoid it like death Am I messing up as a rapper by not switching my style to capture All these rapper's fan bases faster; no, forget that, I'm moving past them Don't even know what I'm after, just love writing and rapping This track should come with an answer as to why rap is collapsing But i don't have it, tried to write it, but all i got were three sixteens Opposite of big screens filled with Knicks teams, greatness In other words I lack the words to fix the rap world But i have the words to captivate and flip the rap world Let me navigate the landscape to hit the rap world With some calculated rapping take a poop on the rap world A true lyrical assassin, my pen rocks a ski mask and My notebook stays blasting, my mic, don't even ask man My wit shows no compassion, when I'm rapping I zone out, like hey yo Def what happened I'm a veteran with passion I'm hungry, been fasting You seeping, wake up The Journalist been rapping Been writing and stashing Pursuit to be the best And a lot of things changed But it's like I never left Yeah there's been a lot of change but some things stayed the same Like the way I grab the microphone and pick a apart your brain Or the way my heart beats faster when I hear a beat to slay Or the way I feel to make a change, got to stay and lead the way Either way, I'm here to stay, might as well clear the way I spit the real, touch your soul, may cause a tear to spray They disrespect the game spitting stuff to cause your ear to ache They fear me because i say what all these other rappers fear to say I'm fearless hey, like I said I'm here to stay other rappers here today Gone tonight, they underweight, over paid, over hyped Motivated like a vulture, bird of prey Thinking they a super hero but they lack a vertebrae Like superman when he hit the ground his horse a foot away You spineless mother suckers I done stood the pain Now it's time to root you out like tooth decay, I shoot to spray You claim to be a heavy hitter, but the bars are losing weight, need two-a-days I'm a veteran with passion I'm hungry, been fasting You seeping, wake up The Journalist been rapping Been writing and stashing Pursuit to be the best And a lot of things changed But it's like I never left Your tyrannical, shatter souls Lift me up to drop me down like catapults Claim to like my stuff and say it rocks like gravel stone Only to gain a follow back, you filthy animal I'll beat you down like battle-toads, man you stink of fakeness I gravitate towards greatness when I make this And I'm honest like abe is or was, so let me say this I'm astonished the way the game is, because I came from an era to live and die in LA Some plain rap Pharcyde, and today was good day But rappers nowadays are laser focused on attention Stuck in their sour ways of falsifying their public image Only way they're dropping deep lines... is when they're going fishing Man it's sickening, so many indie rappers out here spitting, no ones listening So you market yourself different, change up the written Tell yourself it's small, it supports the bigger mission But in minutes your incentives will mislead the life you're living I'm a veteran with passion I'm hungry, been fasting You seeping, wake up The Journalist been rapping Been writing and stashing Pursuit to be the best And a lot of things changed But it's like I never left
