lovejoy - a cut above lyrics
[verse 1: lovejoy]
i’m about to studio this guest room
past the restroom down the hall, looking all festooned
with some cables and an ipad
stable sitting on the table there’s my mic and
hack-t’s little label and garageband
so we don’t have to do the drumming on a washpan
gosh man, leather watchband man could do it all
even though i’ve been to where i felt like saying “screw it all”
but through it all, through the winter and the fall
when the trees are white and bald and want to die and you’re appalled
but never solving any issues that were causing me to fall
against a wall, i still crawled
on my hands and knees out the gutter
daydreams and fantasies my bread and b-tter
and with this song i don’t think i’ll have to bother with the jam
boiling water in the pot is never hotter than i am
’cause i’ve been cooking for a long time
and i’ve been waiting for a long time
for greatness, but y’all can’t even make a song rhyme
[hook]
i’m a cut above
i’m a cut above
i might make a tape you can’t pull out the oven with a glove
hey, i’m a cut above
i’m a cut above
i might give a couple haters something they can grow to love
[verse 2]
hey, my flow is limitless, it’s both modern and cl-ssic
contemporary primitive, it’s neo-jur-ssic
i want to sell h-lla records sealed in plastic
but it’s tragic how a fella casting lyrical magic
could be limited by a city that’s so monochromatic
people and times change but the motto is static
i’ll automatically dominate anyone in my way
and just demonstrate why all of they have got a reason to panic
atlantic and pacific
i tour the whole country, output still prolific
atypical, them basic rappers always horrific
and if it comes to that i’ll quit and -ssume the status of mythic
yeah i’ve got an ego issue
but i guess that’s better than having a legal issue
i can tell you hated me just by the feeble people with you
even if you have been harboring ill intentions
or have a penchant for messing with eminent living legends
your attention is better spent when you’re watching me from the benches
4/4 time, i’m doing 4/4 time
you ask for forgiveness, answered with more rhymes
more and more dime i’m making from this bi’ness
got records like guinness, haven’t even hit my prime
and still
[hook]
i’m a cut above
i’m a cut above
i might give a couple haters something they can grow to love
hey, i’m a cut above
i’m a cut above
i might beat a whole mosh pit if push comes to shove
[verse 3]
someone’s causing problems, i’m pretty sure it isn’t me
i’m a solitary k!ller, ain’t n-body want to visit me
all you people want to hear i did this for publicity
i’m telling you explicitly without explicit lyrics
i’m bringing electricity
no one comes near it, only stuck in that boring old
lame flow, same beat, i’m shaming those in flames and heat
fire bringing pain so i guess you maybe blame me
for burning down this game show
jeopardizing names, dropping flames while my fame grows
out of tame streets, rainbows after rain sheets
i’m loving that the covenant remains though we mistreat
everything we have, every little misdeed
piles up until we let the media just mislead
tell us that we misread
any indication situations aren’t as pristine as they seem
know that nothing now is risk-free
dropping this tape will only open doors to diss me
everyone is saying that the boy’s soft
he’s not a real rapper and his voice is off
yeah, go ahead, you can laugh and scoff
but go to bed knowing this one thing
grow to love it, haters
[hook] x 2
i’m a cut above
i’m a cut above
i might give a couple haters something they can grow to love
haters, i’m a cut above
i’m a cut above
i might make a full alb-m forever spoken of
