CAN'T BE US - Instrumental
If the beat don't rock
Make the dance floor pop
When the bassline drop
Then it can't be us
If your feet don't move
When you hear that groove
Then you know what that prove
Man, it can't be us
If the words they said
Ain't stuck in your head
And the content's dead
You know that ain't us
If he freak that flow
And it sound like dough
Then it let you know, boy
It's gotta be us
We been rocking these beats since the early 90s
If you don't know me, man
It's time you know
I been flowing insane since before Black Reign
If it sound mundane then it can't be Sho
Made a album with my wife
We was talking bout God so you didn't wanna listen
Y'all ain't know what y'all was missing
Now I'm back to business
Bear witness to the fitness
All the real will probably get this
But the suckers be forgetting
If the beat don't rock
Make the dance floor pop when the baseline drop
Then you know that ain't me
I was cooking up with rhymes that was blowing people's minds
When I clicked it up with City back in 1993
I been making hits since you was on your mama's hips
Lyrically equipped to flip a party in a ditch
Live by a code that the youngings don't know
Where a man is a man and we still don't snitch
Spent hours in a glass at the bottom of a bottle
I was choking on the gas and I couldn't work the throttle
I was saved by grace
Saved my face
Saved my soul and built my safe
Now I'm coming back to leave a style for you to follow
This is for your study purpose, not for you to borrow
I'm appalled what I was hearing what you thinking bout Sho
Just because I found God I can't rhyme no more?
If the beat don't rock
Make the dance floor pop
When the bassline drop
Then it can't be us
If your feet don't move
When you hear that groove
Then you know what that prove
Man, it can't be us
If the words they said
Ain't stuck in your head
And the content's dead
You know that ain't us
If he freak that flow
And it sound like dough
Then it let you know, boy
It's gotta be us
Started flowing at 10, reading Dr. Seuss books
Got better with bars
Writing songs, making hooks
You should see me up in school
Had to battle a bunch of dudes
Started making new moves
Yeah, the girl show and proved
Made fans, met a man, had a kid, toured the land
Still reigning in command with the mic in my hand
It happened from this rapping
Everybody started snapping
Got with Q and met Sho and we put the plan in action
Made a CD full of dope shit
Called it Dope Hits
Each piece was a right pick with a dope chick
Put the piece to the puzzle
Deaded pressures from the past
Funny fact, y'all rapping for likes on instagram
I damn near drowned in a lake of quicksand
Health took a toll
Had to follow God's plan
The beat don't rock, the flow don't pop?
Stop
The 3 reign drops gon' stay on top
Watch
If your head ain't nodding and your feet ain't tapping
And your hands ain't clapping when we hit the stage
Check the roster
It's an imposter
Somebody come quick cause it ain't no way
You see the reign, you see the 3
We
Qweezy, Sho and L.U.V
Ain't no love
Ain't no trust
Ain't no rain
Man you know it ain't us
If the beat don't rock
Make the dance floor pop
When the bassline drop
Then it can't be us
If your feet don't move
When you hear that groove
Then you know what that prove
Man, it can't be us
If the words they said
Ain't stuck in your head
And the content's dead
You know that ain't us
If he freak that flow
And it sound like dough
Then it let you know, boy
It's gotta be us
Uh
Black Reign, water when it fall
Ball up on these cats like aluminum foil
When it need fixing, who the fuck they gon' call
When the dark clouds come and the rain gon' fall
Been through it all, nigga
Sit, quick, listen
20 years
Quality shit locked in position
Qwest will Sho you L.U.V.
But L.U.V. will show you Qwest
If you running round this bitch
And you ain't all about your business
It's all about persistence
I'm not with the resistance
I'm all about the mission
'Caree cooking in the kitchen
Niggas wouldn't give us the time of the day
Now these niggas on time when they pay
Cause the beat be knocking
And the flow stay rocking
If you ever seen a show then you we show stopping
Been a lotta copies but you nothing like us
Ask your CEO who put his ass on the bus
Huh
QSL I trust
Hit you with the reign that'll conjure the dust
You powered by VA but you just ain't us
Ain't no fuss
Ain't nothing to discuss
I was the 1st one to put you in regular rotation
Now I'm trying to figure why you muthafuckin' hatin'
Huffing and puffing
Doing a whole lotta faking
When you pull up in the Honda while my Benz make a statement
If the beat don't rock
Make the dance floor pop
When the bassline drop
Then it can't be us
If your feet don't move
When you hear that groove
Then you know what that prove
Man, it can't be us
If the words they said
Ain't stuck in your head
And the content's dead
You know that ain't us
If he freak that flow
And it sound like dough
