Feeling alone in a cold world...and loving it

lyrics

---first verse----
*I'm Singing off key to broken piano
Cuz when you do you, no one understand you
*I’m a champion got trophies on the mantle
my great-great great grandfather was a pharaoh
*Fire off ammo guns got porcelain handles
give orders to my capo like Tony Soprano
* Flows not watered down it not from the tap
Dope like a block of crack you gonna relapse
* lost contacts friends don’t know where I’m at
full voicemail everyone hollering back
*We at war so my enemies borrowing mac
Read Art of War books to counterattack
*please I got war machines and nuclear drones
killstreaks like I play Call of Duty at home
*and the past is a blur the future’s unknown
lost every chance all opportunities blown
*did necessary sins refuse to atone
God cursed me for life he wouldn’t condone
*but those who judge me / they will be judged
I’m on Noah’s ark, y’all washed away in the flood
*Baby thug did dirt and I played in the mud
Got away clean like I’m O.J. with the glove
*Sometimes feel I don’t relate to my blood
So my fans I say thank you for the love
*This a powerful word that you never heard
Can’t observe what I paint with optical nerves
*Had big dreams but my fantasies deferred
Had to wait long time but now it’s my turn
*Y’all get incinerated the fire’ll burn
traveling he world so I might not return
*my personal affairs are not your concern
Give the black youth new philosophies to learn
*put Pedal to the medal on a Lincoln Continental
break speed limit on infinitiys and rental
*make the president read a letter from the ghetto
musical poet Othello with a chello

---2nd verse---
*Miclangelo a name you better remember
Bring Thriller in Manlla to injure contender
*Wreck cities Godzilla the biggest gorilla
I’m a Bad guy / assemble the Avenger
*Liberty or death I never will surrender
Got an appetite no recipe for dinner
*Santa Clause never came on any December
So I cried ice rivers in middle of winter
*and I preach to the choir the singers are sinners
never trust anyone with hidden agenda
*you a snake so I slash the blades of the grass
in a bank with a mask, I’m taking the cash
*cuz I can’t pay bills I’m underemployed
plus my baby cries she wants a new toy
*life put you to the test like multiple choice
so I gotta give those struggling a voice
*kicked out Moms house a troublesome boy
every night rainstorm and thundering noise
*at the watchtower watch the meteor showers
this food for thought make bulimics devour
*slim girls wont eat a single thing for hours
trying to be a model that the media’s power
*eyelids close on the reality shows
I really know just how reality goes
*Mind racing traveling without a road
On a different plane with no traffic control
*just story of my life the chapter foretold
like ancient Greece teachers unraveling scrolls
* back down all foes stand unopposed
speak with the voice of God and shatter earlobes
* don’t’t really care if hearing is impaired
listen to me clear don’t dare interfere
* catch death unaware no one shed a tear
life isn’t fair / but why live in fear?
*get yours cuz billionaires getting theirs
I’m do what I like , y’all think I’m weird (ha!)

---chorus---
I’m a Real MC
Lookin at things no one else can see
do what I like I’m a just be me
piano’s broke and I’m singing off key
