Ain't Even ft. Mirage The Gr8 Lyrics

Ayo I stood on the edge, knowing that I may drown

Took a leap of faith and grew wings on the way down

How you a king if you a clown tryna claim crowns

Rocked House Parties ain't no time to Kid and Play now

In my downtime I maintained my fresh

Had a gang of haters watch me fail my way to success

Heard a thousand no's way before I got a yes

Philly cat on my back yellin say it with ya chest

Laughin while I'm taking action, a dreamer chasing passion

Not a Teamster laboring for a meager fraction

I got a deep attraction, and everything I got I ain't get from rappin

More like scroungin and scratchin

Knew some engineers who spliced tapes with razor blades

And knew some dudes doing the same thing but shaving weight

Unlike Jigga, still paying bills from '88

Set aside time, pen me in, go head and save this date

I can't say that we do this for the same reason

As most do, if we ain't rhyming, we ain't breathing

That's what it feel like, they say pain is weakness leaving

On the same level, nah dog, we ain't even

I can't say that we do this for the same reason

As most do, if we ain't rhyming, we ain't breathing

That's what it feel like, they say pain is weakness leaving

On the same level, nah dog, we ain't even

I came to a fork in the road and chose right

Leaned on my faith my knowledge and foresight

Pick and choose battles they ain't all to fight

Been grinding underground now it's time to see light

I ain't gone act like my shit won't change

Like I'ma get alota doe and just be the same

Hell naw dog, that's asinine

Y'all gone switch it up so yeah, I'ma change mine

Alota new shit, better quality

High grade smoke, like it oughta be

Keep the fame just gimme the check

I'm here to preserve the culture and earn your respect

I won't leave till my mission complete

Understand it's way more than just rhymes and beats

Check the blood, the tears and perspiration

And understand this, to me like respiration, breathing

I can't say that we do this for the same reason

As most do, if we ain't rhyming, we ain't breathing

That's what it feel like, they say pain is weakness leaving

On the same level, nah dog, we ain't even

I can't say that we do this for the same reason

As most do, if we ain't rhyming, we ain't breathing

That's what it feel like, they say pain is weakness leaving

On the same level, nah dog, we ain't even

I used to ask for assistance, had a open palm

Found a helping hand at the end of my own arm

Do it yourself, had to learn that the fastest

Follow my true north and trade beauty for ashes

This new era ain't fitted for just rappers

Snapback, rock many hats and multitask this

If you the C.E.O gotta learn S.E.O

Less he know the better, he just ignorant with a messy flow

A wise man can play the part of a fool

But a fool, well you know the rest

Underqualified and show up overdressed

Know the test, yes, but I ain't write the courses

Heard you the best, homie please cite your sources

Sound funny duke

This contaminant rap, throw on the bunny suit

Need a clean room clearance and a well groomed appearance

Just to breathe the same air or even compare to Terrence, what

I can't say that we do this for the same reason

As most do, if we ain't rhyming, we ain't breathing

That's what it feel like, they say pain is weakness leaving

On the same level, nah dog, we ain't even

I can't say that we do this for the same reason

As most do, if we ain't rhyming, we ain't breathing

That's what it feel like, they say pain is weakness leaving

On the same level, nah dog, we ain't even
