richie cunning - leave it alone lyrics

[intro]
it don’t stop, it don’t quit
it don’t stop, it don’t quit
it don’t stop, it don’t quit
it don’t stop, it don’t quit
it don’t stop, it don’t quit

[verse 1:]
see i never thought i’d get the chance to do some things i’ve already done
so in some ways, i’ve already won
and if the credits roll here, this will be a great flick, but please hold your applause, yo, i’m only begun
not famous, i’m known around here though, and all i really wanted to be was a hometown hero
and i’mma keep building, but i will never forget the foundation like i was standing on ground zero
my man looked me in my eyes and told me it ain’t no free rides, homie, you gotta pay the fare
i said i’mma make it to the top, and if the elevator is out of order then f-ck it, i’m finna take the stairs
never invited to the party. my crew is there wilding outside like the neighbourhood hooligans
rap day like oh, it’s just you again. yeah i ain’t no house guest, mo’f-cker, i’m moving in
from a scene the world don’t know about, alcatraz city, where n-body’s ever broken out
they say, “richie make it do what he do. on the real, man, we rooting for you”

[hook]
i tell ’em, “you gon’ see my name in lights before you see it in stone”
keep my people forever with me like the key to my home
i’m a king, son of the h, take my seat on the throne
either that, or i’mma leave it alone, now come on, and sing

[chorus]
[samples]
then i leave it alone

[verse 2]
i never been an award winner –
i’d settle for being able to afford dinner
so i carry the cross that i was born with
‘cos mama cunning ain’t raised no d-mn forfieter
it’s a big hill – it’s a slow climb
rappers since ’92 debut in ’09
i don’t rush it, i push it until i love it
you don’t like it, you can shove it where a spotlight don’t shine
and i never been the fronting type
but truth be told, i gotta be doing something right
sending orders to countries i never came to, and
getting letters that tell me how much it meant to ’em
out in my city getting recognised more and more
my man billy was my music and my corner store
to my supporters, i’m forever in debt, and one homie i’ll never forget
said he couldn’t believe it was me, asked if he could get a picture and an autograph for his little sister. i choked up
he said, “for real, man, your music’s the truth, keep pushing ‘cos i’m rooting for you”

[chorus]
[samples]
then i leave it alone
