VERSE 1
Hold your tongue cos I was destined to come,
Destined to reign over all its begun,
To be or be not that was the choice
And to see or see not that was the voice,
Rolling round in my head like an echoing chamber,
I don't have friends anymore cos everybody's a stranger,
And everybody's after something I don't have,
Your life aint based on the possessions that you've had,
Like its not the same air that everybody breathe,
I'm only human if you cut me will I not bleed,
But looking back now, I retrace steps,
Reclaim respect, became RX
And I never regretted a move I ever made,
Now I know the rules of the game to be played,
And I cant stop I cant take a break yet,
Received a lot of love and received hate threats,
I'll say it now, you aint got to like me,
Think it's a touch of jealousy ever so slightly,
Cos back in the day they wouldn't shake my hand,
But now everybody's saying you're the man... (But I'm not though)
BRIDGE
It's like nobody stands cos they too busy walking,
It's like nobody listens cos they too busy talking
CHORUS
If your voice is heard & respected,
Can you please put things in perspective
VERSE 2
Spread love, but there's a lot of hate inside us,
We're all human but somehow we let religion divide us,
You talk about being riders but you following trends,
They say they like you now but they're not really your friends,
They're after your money and the fame that's with it,
Your life's longer than your fame of fifteen minutes,
People in my life who wouldn't look at me twice,
Are coming up to me now saying my tracks are nice,
Quoting my lyrics, shake my hand, smiley faces,
They look at me now and wish we could trade places,
But what they need to do is stop and take a step back,
They don't like music they don't even respect rap,
Close your eyes and imagine a man
With plans to make it, Never could fake it,
For the sake of us, never betray your trust,
Cos without it in my hand, I'm a shadow of a man,
And I never thought that words could change lives,
I think too much we living in strange times,
Where money is worth more than the life of a man,
Only safe when they carrying a knife in their hand,
Only wanna do this if it's gonna pay the bills,
Living in a world where ignorance is ill,
I aint preaching cos preaching aint my thing playa,
You got a crown so you think that you a king playa,
No man is invincible, the principle of my raps
and songs is this, sing along to this
They didn't understand before but now they understand,
That's why they come around saying you're the man...
CHORUS
VERSE 3
I can't take it songs about what they do in clubs,
How your crew are thugs and how many girls you .....
21's on your ride, I'm sick to death of it
Why don't you talk about the 3rd world deficit,
Proud to be ignorant give em a book to read,
And tell em that AIDS is a man made disease,
It's the iron age, who let the lion out the cage,
These aren't tears of joy... I'm crying out of rage
Hold your tongue cos I was destined to come,
Destined to reign over all its begun,
To be or be not that was the choice
And to see or see not that was the voice,
Rolling round in my head like an echoing chamber,
I don't have friends anymore cos everybody's a stranger,
And everybody's after something I don't have,
