lyrics

BAM! Drop a heavy dose of flavor upon your Head Masdamind is in the building once Again (2)
And this time, I’m coming out swinging
Like Slim Hiller, more realer, and you know I keep they heads ringing (4)
“ Oh, he’s a swagger jacker big time
He just ripped off a famous Dr. Dre line”( Voice change deep) (6)
Man, y’all haters ain’t nothing in particular
Ya’ll need to go to church ( Hallelujer) (8)
Spitting nothing but a new concept
To most of you, its called truth (10)
Something yall refuse to use, or even reflect on with a passion
Only doing what the people want to cash in (12)
Big money checks from fat corporations
Then getting mixed up in more litigations ( 14)
Not me, I’m a pave my own route
And show these under estimators what I’m all about 16)
( Chorus: 4X I am living this life to the end
Like a star, I was born to shine, Living life to the fullest till the end of time)
You can’t stop or deny my faith
My words are hollow tip bullets to your shielded plate(2)
You run your mouth like a marathon, but you aint winning the race
You’re so foolish and you cant keep up with the pace (4)
Mysterious unlike no other,
more power than the continuum transfunctioner(6)
I bet ya’ll ain’t getting these references
You’re lost in the translation, no sentences (8)
Yo, I go hard for the home team
Represent facts not heard by the mainstream( 10)
Ears, but they don’t even care, so why bother?
Cause whenever they hear Star Wars, they say “ Luke,( 12) I am your father”, when that’s the wrong quote altogether
I guess I’m doomed to be an outcast forever (14)
But its all good, I know where I’m going when I die, and like a eagle, I’m a spread my wings and fly( 16)
( Chorus 4X)
