c-real - its over lyrics
[verse 1]
see the industry’s asleep
it’s coiled up in the sheets
with no idea of what’s really going on in the streets
musicians afraid and claiming they’re being discreet
but i understand no shows at christmas, you no go eat
i came to plant the seed that grows a tree of bittersweets
awards are trash that’s why some artistes just keep taking sweeps
promoters tryna get rich and stay scheming
but as long as i’m breathing
i’m doing this for one reason
our music ain’t evolving
our lyrics ain’t involving
what we do is celebrate mediocre recordings
miming and performing
standing on stage doing the same things
and we ask why the fans aren’t amazed?
it’s pitiful how we compare our music to nigerians
we can’t even sell cds in our on area
money ain’t my problem
i refuse to be broke
like r2bees walahi
i swear i’ll forever be dope
and the truth will be exposed
in all the words that i wrote
i know it cuts all of the guilty parties
like knives to their throats
so listen, better know that gh has a hope
a black star, a black sun
and y’all already know
(hook)
when the fat lady sings
then they think that it is over
but this is the beginning
i was born to be a soldier
hip hop on my shoulder
beyond the rhymes
we are the culture
and i say it ain’t over till it’s over
when the fat lady sings
then they think that it is over
but this is the beginning
i was born to be a soldier
hip hop on my shoulder
coming harder than boulders
i told ya
i say it ain’t over till it’s over
[verse 2]
they say hip hop no get future
they say dog hip hop producers
they say do some azonto make we take dance and drink some booze
ah!
but they listen to jay – z, drake, wayne and baby
they either tryna clown me or they’re just getting crazy
lyricism is the art of expression
using the phonetic repetition that when you listen leaves you breathless
yes! yes!
i know i’m the best versed on the flow
as the rest stress over shows
i’m doing biz getting dough
success breeds enemies
so every percent of me is focused on my hustle
and how to be a better c
really though
i’ve never been ridiculed
never felt miniscule
im just a giant taking leaps in life ahead of you
one, two, mic check
when i come through
i rep
mixdown
direct!
wanna eye red
i swear
so better let go
of the mind set
that hip hop will not grow
cos when i grab a microphone i leave your mind blown
(hook)
when the fat lady sings
then they think that it is over
but this is the beginning
i was born to be a soldier
hip hop on my shoulder
beyond the rhymes
we are the culture
and i say it ain’t over till it’s over
when the fat lady sings
then they think that it is over
but this is the beginning
i was born to be a soldier
hip hop on my shoulder
coming harder than boulders
i told ya
i say it ain’t over till it’s over
[verse 3]
in the first third of my life, i’ve been to university twice
so when it comes to mind games
i’m rocking the veteran stripes
not amazed by the fame and the distraction of lights
as they flash in the night
cos i can achieve whatever i like
all i need is for you to agree and believe
that we can achieve more than the industry has degraded us to believe
it’s not just hooks and the tempo
banging instrumentals or the slogans that we repeat in the clubs that we get into
you see we’re playing for keeps
it’s not a rental or lease
the price is detrimental
at least nothing is free
eventually we’ll pay the price for mediocrity
and it will not be me
living a life of a forgotten odyssey
so let these words sludge and merge on your mind
as the third verses unearth
and i’m speeding leaving all the dirt just behind
i’m always back on the right path
like i just left
it’s still the red, gold, green
that’s what i’m always gon rep
(hook)
when the fat lady sings
then they think that it is over
but this is the beginning
i was born to be a soldier
hip hop on my shoulder
beyond the rhymes
we are the culture
and i say it ain’t over till it’s over
when the fat lady sings
then they think that it is over
but this is the beginning
i was born to be a soldier
hip hop on my shoulder
coming harder than boulders
i told ya
i say it ain’t over till it’s over
