guess what?
Boss is back
B.O.S.S.
guess what?
Boss is back
it's like things ain't good no more
they just hot
things ain't good no more
they just hot
things ain't good no more
they just hot
things ain't good no more
the type to drop mad intellectual words
to fill your mind ten times in a half of a verse
I disperse undisputed undeniable facts
and diagram 'em out like a topographical map
I learned that material things ain't precious
B.O.S.S. never gonna drive a Lexus
if I ever get rich, I'll drive a cheap whip
so I won't get pissed when I drive it in a ditch
who's a bitch? runnin 'round flashin' your ones
who's a bitch? comin' 'round here flashin' a gun
talkin' mad shit, pressin' 'bout where you come from
considering amputatin' your tongue, son
it's all good, 'til your chops are soft
you on top 'til someone else knocks you off
straight out the blocks it's Boss
under one condition
understand we the type to entice submission
got you wishin' you'd listen before you started dissin'
now your brain's locked up in the fetal position
I'm driven by a force, the source is beats
y'all cats just lookin' for a plate to eat
my game on point when I smoke trees
roll Gracia Vegas with the green leaves
if not, then I'm hot to a different degree
your game's so thin that it's swingin' in the breeze
the B to the O to the S get doubled
hang for a while and I'm bound to roll a couple
if you're cool with me, then I'm cool with you
whatcha do to me, I might do to you
eh yo, fuck my roots, I'm flyin' the coop
what's the point if nobody else knows the truth?
you should never judge a book by its cover
and you should never judge a man by his color
'cuz what shade over time that the sun has made
over time inside will fade away
it ain't a black and white place in the world today
'cuz everybody I'm with is a shade of grey
eh yo, I got a dream, but it seem a little hollow
intelligent rap should come back outta the shadow
people love crap and it just persists
but if you never did that shit, it wouldn't exist
words was the reason for the beats to break
and words was the reason that the beats was made
things ain't good no more, they just hot
and when the words don't mean a damn thing, that's pop
words was the reason for the beats to break
and words was the reason that the beats was made
eh yo, things ain't good no more, they just hot
and when the words don't mean a damn thing, that's pop
things ain't good no more, they just hot
things ain't good no more, they just hot
things ain't good no more, they just hot
things ain't good no more
y'all stay workin' hard, tryin' to make hits
wrote sixty-bars but you didn't say shit
if you got a catchy hook, then you gonna get on
and spend about thirty seconds on the rest of the song
you put the C in rap, tryin' to make a livin'
'cuz of you these parents don't want the kids to listen
I'm givin' you advice, go ahead stay frontin'
with your blah blibbedy blah, I'm tryin' to say somethin'
I'm deep in the past and you best believe
the greatest artist ever lived was a Wonder named Steve
some of y'all see, but some of y'all need
to get a little lesson 'bout fuckin' with greed
I bleed on the track, sweat and tears too
I love good music, how about you?
callin' me out so we face to face
and you's a little real son, but a fake's a fake
what's it take to make a man stand apart?
everything that he speaks comes right from heart
take a match and spark, the whole damn chart
and work to elevate the level of my art
I'm a peaceful man, out for war
you's a hip hop whore, just out to score
gave all I got, straight left it on the floor
from jump, I didn't want none of y'all awards
words was the reason for the beats to break
and words was the reason that the beats was made
things ain't good no more, they just hot
and when the words don't mean a damn thing, that's pop
words was the reason for the beats to break
and words was the reason that the beats was made
things ain't good no more, they just hot
and when the words don't mean a damn thing, that's pop
things ain't good no more, they just hot
things ain't good no more, they just hot
things ain't good no more, they just hot
things ain't good no more, they just... uh!
