20syl - AllttA lyrics

AllttA American me, wearing a hair net as a teen Feeding my arrogance to be seen Embarra**ed to care I was scared, unaware of my dreams Just an heir to what my parents had seen how unfair it all seems Collar to throat was the barrio joke Had 3 Flowers a comb and some dollar store locs Ironing rags keep your eye on the sag A disguise for those admired but never fired a mag I grew tired of that I grew eyes on my back They drew iron when I drew rhymes now who's firing back Told myself keep your mind on them raps Knowing damn well this sh**s chess Denzel And distress is for the damsel lying on tracks 719 my Springs training days Clever with rhymes I ain't explaining a thing Though I ain't claiming to bang, I state in criminal slang I speak better with signs and subliminal hymnals Lines look minimal until I paint a King Be it Rodney or Martin who can make the claim When it's minds like Stephen's who create the game Be it Tut, Louis, or Midas, the mistakes of James These times got me relying on the King of Kings Cus ain't a hand that can change a thing Can you blame the ring when painting man with some angel wings Now keep it moving my styles deep seeming confusing Me and 20 in a league of our own where have you been Where art thou? You who trend? Where is art now? Please, let me clue you in I said 20, thou, league, see I drop Jules and Used those last three bars in parts to prelude damn Sylvain said I see you man brought my sk**s from LA to the EU land And formed AllttA and on this altar I offer my language till all words are auburn Sorta like in autumn see my loose leaf's changing am I too deep say it and we'll all learn I said language altar and auburn I'm saying pages are getting read as they all turn But they on an altar I'm saying they all burn Words are getting purged in the flames call our songs urns If all of our songs earn and we get paid well Is it cus we've all learned that only fame sells If you're not at all concerned if we can paint well You can take our name just make sure that it's framed well Then hang it high expose it to every angle Guess it's all the same when they claim no one can tell Maybe its just the way that our names spelled AllttA = A Little Lower Than The Angels
