Im Back by Lowkey
Im Back Lyrics
- What's happenin', I'm back off the wagon, smashin' this rappin' ting
- Rappers think they're dapper, it's sad, the badness they're babblin'
- Chattin' 'bout packin' Gatlings and battlin', I'll batter 'em
- My adjectives are like daggers and javelins that stab ya' skin
- Not challenging, maggots are blagging, fraggles are hagglin'
- Back with a classic to snatch ya' status off these Plasticine
- I've dabbled in, madness, how I've handled it is bafflin'
- I'm trapped in sin and damaged within, but still I have to win
- Aimin' to break the pavements and take it straight to the majors
- Make all of my favourites famous, I pray that today it changes
- I patiently pave the way for a day that we make the papers
- The haters are stayin' haters, they're fakers, they're blatant traitors
- Don't say it's chasin' my status, I'll break away from the matrix
- They laid us to waste of phases and slave them for slamin' caners
- And blaze us, complacent Pagans who strained to escape the Masons
- Who gave us the AIDS and plagues and not blaming my brain's patrons
- *scratching* I'm back!
- *scratching* Did you forget about me?
- Put on my Air Max, and walk around a day in my shoes
- Look at the bare facts, and talk about payin' my dues
- You realise every bar that I'm sayin' is true
- Phone in to cuss, any DJ that ain't playin' my tunes
- In a drought, consider me the Guinness Stout
- No I'm not the biggest or baddest, I'm just the illest out
- His bars might sound good when he spits 'em out
- But would it mean something if you were lookin' at it, written down?
- I can't front, like the way I'm livin' is perfect
- Can't look at the cards you got, saying you didn't deserve it
- Sellin' poison to people, that isn't my purpose
- Knowledge of self, that's the flippin' gift that I'm cursed with
- People's Army, all my guys organise properly
- Feds wanna commit, borderline sodomy
- Bring coppers in choppers, you all can try stoppin' me
- Every tune's a chapter in my autobiography
- *scratching* I'm back!
- *scratching* Did you forget about me?
