lyrics

[Intro]
Mic check one two
Yo I’d like to give a big shout out to everybody who’s been supporting me so far
You know it’s kind of funny being an upcoming artist in this music game you know
Not everybody wants to show u love
But the crazy thing is you know when the see you on the TV and in the magazines
It’s gonna be the same ones that ignored you that are running back right? (chyea)
So check it out yo

[Verse 1]
Getting closer to perfection with the tightest flow injection
Against the grain to etch a name and kicking game like David Beckham
Teach without a lecture what you’re hearing is progress
Speech is for your pleasure so I’m keeping the vox fresh
Mine are special people, they say “Zuby’s got next”
Cuz I come with special features like your DVD boxset
Say "I’m down with Zuby" taking names to make an army
They love my music making waves the flow is like tsunami (chyeeea!)
A natural disaster but it’s actually mastered
How I intercourse with instrumentals sexually faster (woo!)
Make love to beats and drumming unprotected breaks are minimal (uh huh)
So when I say I’m coming understand it might be literal (ha ha!)
And I’m not pulling out I think I’m seeded in this game
And I’m achieving what I aim because I’m needed in this game (chyea)
Some say that I’ll be rich cuz I’m slick with the wit (chyea)
Some say that life’s a bitch but I still wanna hit (ha ha)

[Chorus]
We all gotta go but who wants to be forgotten?
To take it to the top you gotta make it from the bottom
You see the ones that’s hating when you pitch in the street
But it’s the same ones claiming when you’re rich off the beat
Cuz they doubt you when you’re going up
Doubt you when you’re slowing up
Suddenly you’re blowing up
Suddenly they’re showing up
Yeah, and it’s the same ones
It’s the same ones.

(I bet the same cats that’s laughing while I’m chasing my dream
Will be the ones asking for something if I’m major on the scene).

[Verse 2]
Now you know in my reality my life is what these verses be
A young black man fresh out of Oxford University (I did it)
Always a minority I gotta represent (uh huh)
Gotta let you people know we’ve got the knowledge and the strength (chyea)
I reach across the static with a waiver of authority
Flow is automatic ain’t no hater out there stalling me
See I’ma keep moving, you’re gonna keep losing
I go beyond the music these are jewels that I’m diffusing
Cards are dealt at random so complain but you can’t change them
Man I’ll never really blame them say it took an ace to make him
Claim the kid is faking try to frame him when you name him (what?)
In truth you need some targets and some lessons on your aiming
Still I flow regardless in the mental I’m the hardest
My credentials are the smartest I’m a hip-hop artist (chyeeea!)
So listen to my scripture and conceptualise a whisper
I’m drawing when I’m talking time to visualise the picture.

[Chorus]

(I bet the same girl that blanks me when I hustle CDs
Will be the one claiming she loves me when I’m on the TV)

[Verse 3]
We all gotta hustle
We all gotta give
We all gotta struggle
We all gotta live
Everybody wants to rake it everybody wants to shine
Everybody wants to make it but nobody wants to grind
See me on the hustle every season for my passion
Man I strive to make it double that’s the reason for my action
Prove the doubters wrong will be the greatest satisfaction
When they out and hear my song and they want to claim a fraction
I don’t care for their reaction (nah) don’t know if I’ll be famous
I know my fans relating cuz they say I’m like the greatest (for real)
And even music critics want to buy some Zuby stocks (yup)
And even indie kids are saying Zuby fricking rocks (ha ha)
Some say I go the harder way, to me it’s just the smarter way
I’ma get them shook when crossing over like I’m Hardaway
Cuz I’m a big issue (chyea) like visions for the homeless
Don’t procrastinate your life boy I’m living for the moment

[Chorus]

(I bet the same ones that didn’t wanna give me reviews
Will be the ones claiming they made me when I’m big in the news)

[Chorus]

And that’s real
