"Ya..ya..y'all know the name"

"Ya..ya..y'all know the name"
"I'm the king of the underground so act like you know me"
[Strofa 1]
I feel so cold at 26 years old
It's been some time now tryina keep my profile low
All these new kids really really think they gon blow
After a five minutes of gig they have a sore throat
Guess what you pricks, I'mma be here
Stay laughing at your faces when you'll call your quite
E-Green true last man standing
I'm on some hardcore rap sh** no backstage bragging
Ya'll think it's a game, it's not funny to me
I'm Lennox Lewis heavyweight spittin' machine
They told me to keep my mouth shut, respecting the gods
That's why I sh** on rappers, f** money and brads
Ask yourself for a second what you're doing this for
It gets deeper than music b**hes dream on
It's time to separate the real from the phony
The name is E-Green, punk act like you know me
[Rit. & Scratch]
Well now you know who you're f**in' with
[Strofa 2]
I've done so much but it's never enough
About what has been on my sh**
Even when times got mad ruff
Now everybody wants to give me advice
When they don't even know how to live their own f**in' life
The thing is I never really gave a f**
‘cause when I needed it, no one gave me half a buck
Now we do what you could what you want
What you shoot, what you don't instead respect in your[?]
It's all right ‘cause I'm used to this crap
No one ever does sh** unless they get something back
Best friends go black ‘cause they don't know how to act
And nowadays I've lost my patience man I can't go through that
I've always paid my dues
Trust me, you ain't ready to win if you never learned how to lose
And all I know at the end of the day
It's what you do that remains rapper, not what you say
[Rit. & Scratch]
[Bridge]
This is for every time that I've been on my knees
Every f**in time I've thought somebody help me please
Everyone who stands up on his own two feet
Every b-boy, writer, dj and mc
