Pencil To Paper (English)

Ladies and Gentlemen
CHIC

I wrote punchlines and they were lit like I were the match
Spewing words like an angry chick whose purse was just snatched
The John Wick of pencil tricks and verbal attacks
I gambled, I lost quick and I turned in my stash
It was history, but I wasn't learning the past
Kept firing rhymes saying, that my burns would come back
Like they were bullets to Superman, they were nothing but blanks
And I was hoping I'd rise back to observable ranks
But then I plummeted
I was asked to take up a job
Music doesn't loan, make or pay for the car
Getting high on booze is not raising the bar
Get your act straight and focus cause you're playing the part
So, they cut me out to say that I was wasting it all
And said that rap was just a game that would make it impossible to
Settle down and lead a life that they could've got
With a lady and a baby till I'm eighty or not (come on)

It's been a while since I've been in the game
Thought I had changed but I'm feeling the same
I put pencil to paper and I let it all flow
Spent years on the bleachers now I'm ready to go
B-b-been a while since I've been in the game
Thought it had changed but it's feeling the same
I put pencil to paper and I let it all flow
Spent years on the bleachers now I'm ready to go

I was so broke that even sidewalk begging wouldn't hire this
Lying still I'd watch YouTube videos and sigh a bit
Stopped moping around and I chose my desire it
Was hard to decide if I should try or quit
Quit, quit
Th th th th then it hit me, I was only mad at me
Abandoned my passion so I could have advanced degrees
Aimed for A's but was dealt with hands of jacks and queens
And yet I played with poker faces though my hands were weak
So I sat back and wrote every line that I could say
While refining the words like a fine wine with age
Not a minute to waste it was high time to play
R-r-riddles and tricks I spit to sideswipe your gaze to the real issue
Rappers losing sight of the goal
You guys are dying for views and yet you're blinded for sure
Your families about to file a missing person's report
Cause I'm back, smoking you all every time that I roll (smoke 'em)

It's been a while since I've been in the game
Thought I had changed but I'm feeling the same
I put pencil to paper and I let it all flow
Spent years on the bleachers now I'm ready to go
B-b-been a while since I've been in the game
Thought it had changed but it's feeling the same
I put pencil to paper and I let it all flow
Spent years on the bleachers now I'm ready to go (break)

Light up the grill cause now the stakes are high
I keep beef rare
But if your aims to fight I'll do it well
Cause I'll make you face the fire
With your favorite rappers who claim that their names are why
We listen to the track? No!
Stop that claim!
All you do is drop crap, y'all ain't potty-trained
I'm serving new shots, but getting drunk is not my aim
Cause I'm here to free your ears from all this nonsense
Wait!
What is with these indie rappers trying to mark their place
Their rhymes are tripping so much they f-f-fall flat-faced
Competing with each other, over p-p-podcast plays
Like t-t-tomcats, stop that, your content's a waste
Want real punches? I'm about to serve a verbal jab
A one-two's enough for you to learn your verse is bad
Your rhymes are so stale that
Listeners could learn the words from trash
5 years was a break, I'm back to burn and murder tracks

Louder for the ones in the back

It's been a while since I've been in the game
Thought I had changed but I'm feeling the same
I put pencil to paper and I let it all flow
Spent years on the bleachers now I'm ready to go
B-b-been a while since I've been in the game
Thought it had changed but it's feeling the same
I put pencil to paper and I let it all flow
Spent years on the bleachers now I'm ready to go

Game over
