Yeah, when I was seven
It came down from the sky just like a message
A power I could never dream up, pause for second guessing
I had a voice inside my head that told me I was destined
And my mama always said that I'm a joy and a blessing
By eleven, I turned this passion into an obsession
Crafting every word with the linguistics of perfection
And killing everybody in the game in my frustration
Everybody's tryna take off with the style that I invented
There's no question, the haters tryna come at me with weapons
I think it's finally time these motherf-kers learned their lesson
But I am not the type to come with violence or aggression
All I do is leave you with a kiss and a present
'Cause my daddy always said to kill with kindness and affection
And in the time to judge will come the silence and the reckon
I guess I'll just fly up with all the angels to the heavens
When I'm raising like a natural fermentation of this living
You don't have to comprehend
What's going on inside my head
It's not my fault you're ignorant
But if you wanna call my name
All these people hating
They say I'm overrated
Stop hiding in your basement
And say it to my face then
All these people hating
They say I'm overrated
Stop hiding in your basement
And say it to my face, then (say it)
Yo
Grew up on the East Coast, the other side of the fence
But looking back now, I didn't have much common sense
But like Patrick, I hid under a rock
Until my uncle told me there was something to unlock
Been making beats since 1983
Synthesizer, drum machine, get yours, I was set free
Laid it all down on my four-track cassette
Making new songs, every letter of the alphabet
A-B-C-D-E-F-G
'Cause sometimes you got to go back to get the right chronology
If you have a problem with it, tell me in the first place
And say it to my face
You don't have to comprehend
What's going on inside my head
It's not my fault you're ignorant
But if you wanna call my name
All these people hating
They say I'm overrated
Stop hiding in your basement
And say it to my face then (say it)
All these people hating
They say I'm overrated
Stop hiding in your basement
And say it to my face then (say it)
Say it to my face, say it
Say it to my face, say it
Say it to my face, say it
Say it to my face, say it
