Spoken Word Lyrics

[Verse: Shiquon]

I'm tryna figure out how to come in right
Hold up after this you'll have to get some insight
Nowadays I just sit back watching these rappers mess up
The whole industry now I'm back and its time to show them what's up

Now niggas might look at me like I'm tripping
I won't be dissing I'll sprinkle some crack up on these victims

Like dirty cops tryna cover up a personal crime
Make it look like they overdose so they won't serve them no time
If I wanted to I could murder these rappers and hurt them too
Cause I'm sick of the topics being compared now its personal
Look at the competition ain't no rapper that's merciful
I killed them where I'mma lay them homie maybe a hoarse would do

Making my way to greatness no other person can take this
I've raided places and twisted plenty heads now they can't face it
Even if I finished last in this mockery called a race
It won't matter because I'm first to capture the dreams that I've chased
Now let me shut up this chatter I overshadowed these rappers
Turn them ghost now they relatives of the innocent Casper

Heavy weighted I'm breaking some jaws I'm sick of the jabber
Careers are shattered cause they see I eliminated these faggots
Honestly they ain't thought that no other person would bust back
Til I came in the building I'm writing my name in all caps
SHIQUON remember that write it down take a pic
To put it in photo albums recapture a time like this

And now I'mma just be honest and tell you all that I'm pissed
And really Kendrick Lamar is the main cause of this ish

He said I heard barbershops be in great debates all the time
Like who's the best MC? Kendrick Jigga and Nas
Eminem Andre 3000 the rest of ya'll
New niggas just new niggas don't get involved

Well I'm a new nigga making old niggas wanna retire
Trying hard to put me out everytime I'm spitting this fire
No I'm not dissing nobody I'm clearly making a statement
That I'm the top 5's all 5 yes I'm making it blatant

Then you failed to realize that I'll be the one on your playist
And I bet you thought that I'd never have the balls just to say this
Recognize I'm the next generation of real hip hop
Came here just to recover it making sure its in tip top
Shape fashion and form leaving these rappers torn
And show them they shouldn't doubt me so listen you have been warn

The realness is never enlisted its like we're saying begone
Its sad that the world's so cold I'm just working to keep it warm
If you listen and pay attention then maybe you won't be harm
Now I'm coming back with a vengence so homie ring the alarm
Ya'll mad I opened my mouth because I'm becoming a star
And now man I'm the reason why they don't know who you are
Took my time from the bottom but now I'm raising the bar
So can say that I'm the East Coast Kendrick Lamar

Cause I hold it down for my coast I don't ever rest that's fasho'
You can hear that I'm dedicated from the words that exit my throat
,
So when I step to plate and I start to eat I won't choke
I already rap like a vet even though I'm young and I'm broke

I would rock ya put you in pain when I spit and just leave you sore
Got them scared cause this energy's something they ain't had seen before

I'm only 18 exercising tracks in the gym
The resurrected Pac cause you see I'm rising above the rim
So listen to me closely make sure that you hear my words
When you mention the top 5 just make sure that you put me third

South Carolina general homie I am an animal
Anyone challenge me I would leave them split like a cantelope
You can see I'm a monster I'll quickly damage your property
Just remember who I am Shiquon homie who's stopping me?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
