will kellum – emcees lyrics
[intro]
yeah, aye, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah, yeah, aye, yeah, yeah, yeah
yo, yo, yo
[chorus]
ayo

aye grab a spot
yeah everything is gonna be alright
aye one time, aye one time
aye for your mine, yeah
[verse 1]
look i use to compare myself to your favorite rapper, hopin’ that i find myself
these lines come from my inner thoughts, can’t never write outside myself
i dealt with ptsd from these mc’s on this mic, yeah
they got no substance, flows is rested right, i get my time
future’s bright the sun’s pigmentation, there you might go blind
phoenix rising from them ashes, ball like book to book my prime
they say that lane is too big, aye you may never go far
jump city native climb up ages, just to dance with the stars
i pray them pages get a placement, strike a vein in your heart
that envy rising in my brain, i fight these thoughts in the dark
in mama’s bas-m-nt on ig, see people rise to the top
gotta stay strapped to rock success, i place these rhymes in a glock
i’m taking shots, don’t gotta aim
these rappers, they rap for fame
so i’m claiming to bring a change
but my motives might be the same
am i writing rhythms in vain, if i make it, what will it be?
am i writing to break your chains or am i writing to set me free?
i never know, yeah
[chorus]
ayo
who wanna rock on the mic tonight?
aye grab a spot
yeah everything is gonna be alright
aye one time, aye one time
aye for your mine, yeah
ayo
who wanna rock on the mic tonight?
aye grab a spot
yeah everything is gonna be alright
aye one time, aye one time
aye for your mine, yeah
[verse 2]
as i write these verses i purchase some time with jesus for freedom
and seen the pride that i dealt with and told him how much i need him
i was writing to speak his name, in reality wanna be him
then here that i’m spittin’ flames that have compliments in my dm
i was dissing these mumble rappers cause i couldn’t stand the culture
hatin’ on peers’ rappers cause i felt my gift was chosen
insecure in myself because i felt i’m losing focus
jealous of losing wealth and seeing some when being boasted
close to my heart to help it’s crazy that i write so open
sometimes the scars will hurt, they heal when you don’t keep em’ closed in
but if i cry for help, i’m scared that someone might just notice
and leave me by myself when poison from my thoughts get potent
maybe the insecurities that we be dealing with
it comes from all these problems and our past that we ain’t finish with
it’s crazy that i try to use my raps for the ministry
when i ain’t confront the things inside all of my past that can hindered me
i never know though
