Take Me Home

And I promise if you take me home,
 I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
 Said come on baby, throw me a bone,
 I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
 And I promise if you take me home,
 I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
 Said come on baby, throw me a bone,
 I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
 I'ma tell you something. about me, heheh
 That's my favorite subject, I don't know if you picked up on that yet or not
 I never said I had a business mind
 I just don't believe that quitting time exists, ain't no finish line to this
 You got to give me mine, I really shine, my given time is this
 Live and die with the grind, driven by the fist
 Where you do place my name if I never played your game?
 We don't race the same, I don't run inside no painted lane
 Plus ya'll pace is strange, ya'll need to stop and you sprint
 Run when it's sunny and hide if it change to rain
 I wouldn't be half the Ali that I am
 if I slowed myself up and tried competing with these people, fam
 I've every bit as unconcerned as they are unprepared
 Market flooded, needless to say I wasn't scared
 Let's all drop the same day, I don't fucking care
 Put listening stations in the store and let the public hear
 Better yet, let's have an in-store performance
 Make it oranges to oranges, me dwarfin' your endurance
 After that we'll shoot the shit with our supporters
 and see how many more discs of yours the indie stores order
 See you already know I out-rap 'em
 On the low, we out-work, out-think, and out-class them
 And I promise if you take me home,
 I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
 Said come on baby, throw me a bone,
 I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
 And I promise if you take me home,
 I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
 Said come on baby, throw me a bone,
 I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
 Nobody's doing this thing exactly like we do
 I mean they do it, they just ain't doing it exactly like us, you know what I'm saying?
 Sucker-ass motherfucker
 My personal pedigree's so bona fide,
 'Cause a man of my stature ain't grown overnight
 The undisputed king of where poor folks reside
 Because every time I speak there'll be hope vocalized in you
 Sit and bitch with them chickens about "it isn't fair"
 The sound system ain't shit, but I was crystal clear
 We first-name based with soundmen, we bring 'em beer
 Plus I tipped 'em fifty last semester when the clique was here
 Listen here, I ain't going give you all the secrets
 Just these few examples help me illustrate my pretense
 Our strength is unrelated to your weakness
 'Cause you'll never be a worthy pool of peers to be competed with
 I sing my shit with Son House and Syl Johnson
 and always lose, I done lost face too
 but I'm sporting they shoes, so let me remind you
 and them little kicks you're trying to fit,
 we outgrew them shits in high school
 And I promise if you take me home,
 I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
 Said come on baby, throw me a bone,
 I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
 And I promise if you take me home,
 I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
 Said come on baby, throw me a bone,
 I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
 I don't think I'm arrogant, man, I think just I'm, you know
 I dos what the fuck I does, man, and it's just.
 you can kiss my ass, all I care
 It's of foremost importance,
 There is none like unto the Brother Al
 This motherfucker regardless, and stop all the nonsense
 You see me lounging, call Rhymesayer's office, I've officially lost it
 They say my reputation precedes me
 I don't know the meaning of off-season, I ain't taking it easy
 Ain't taking a day off, never had a off night
 Never been laid off, I live on the job site
 It all pays off, though, when I squint through the spotlight
 and see your lips a'moving to the true shit that I write
 and we going be all right, every night of my life is my night
 'Cause I view the future like it's hindsight
 I ain't waiting or patiently persevering
 I see greatness in the person in the mirror very clearly
 and that's why I take this seriously
 Baby, come near to me and truly, truly hear me
 And I promise if you take me home,
 I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
 Said come on baby, throw me a bone,
 I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
 And I promise if you take me home,
 I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
 Said come on baby, throw me a bone,
 I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
