toronto '99 - dru bex lyrics
[verse 1]
at seventeen i killed myself and cheated death
i took a plunge after just a few steps
i popped out the water and i beat my chest
like mans ain’t ready for the new bex
these days i swear y’all be obsessed
really, with the who’s who’s and the who’s next
look, mans don’t care, we don’t be impressed
they can keep the number one man i’m too blessed
they don’t even rap it one hundred when they seal the ends
98, but i came to give my two cents
done chose my side, i don’t need defence
james harden, but i didn’t play for houston
i’m the beard in toronto, come and see the mans
still hanging, only cutting off loose ends
i got lairs in toronto, in the east and west
both sides, you would think i pay two rents
maybe like bruce wayne picking up loose change
this is all just a big waste of my time
sort of like lupe battling 2 chainz
is it all just a big waste of my rhymes?
i could go two ways, i could go wu-tang
leave it all just a bit vague and disguised
i could do a groove thing or sing a smooth thing
they’ll sing along to a hit they’ve memorized
i had to go for their necks, had to sever ties
i love the hipsters but i love it when the heads roll
and though i show a lot of love to the other guys
they keep it mano a mano, never stereo
but their doom prophecies never scare me though
i know soon their going to see and their going to hear me though
and if you don’t show me love i’ll still show them love
i’ll just point them to the crucifixion and the burial and the resurrection
[breakdown]
wooh!
saved in the six
yeah, yeah, yeah
[verse 2]
i’m obi-wan ken-bi
nothing in this world can hold me
they be acting like they know me
but i’ll never let the negativity control me
my mama once had told me
to give god all the glory
then she went home to glory
now i’ll never stop repping even if they stone me
some of them looking like mannequins
see the hate that’s in their eyes
jealous of my moves, looking like anakin
really vader on the rise
i got a gang of homies
all of us are living cozy
cause we know what we believe in
no mistake i’m talking jesus
all you gotta do is receive him
i promise i was a sinner even before i was a fetus
i promise i was a heathen even before i started breathing
was a thief before i started stealing
back biter before i started teething
i came right back scoring bigger buckets
tried to p-ss but they gave me no reason, look
once i was seven years old
i think lukas graham said it best
that’s the age that my mama died
then i moved out to the west
sauga city, where i laid low
only move when he say so
once i was 20 years old
three years prior i committed my soul to the lord
but at 20 i was still getting into plenty trouble
feeding my flesh with that internet junk food
then i turned 30 years old
i was like maaaaan what am i doing with the mic?
can the kids still relate to what i’m doing in my life?
well, someone’s got to show them how to do it right
before you know it i’ll be 40 years old
before that time comes hope my story’s been told
matter of fact, right here, right now stories getting told
i just hope you brought a cup because i’m pouring out my soul
boys about to blow
