Bilal Bashir - Syndicate Soldier lyrics

[ VERSE 1: Everlast ] Here we are, my friend Once again I'm inclined to rhyme on time So won't you lend me your ear Cause it's clear to this here has no peer And if this song was the blues, you'd be sheddin a tear Like a baby, maybe I shoulda held back Some of you look shocked, I guess you couldn't tell that I was here to drop knowledge, college is irrelevant My next move to prove I'm smooth but still intelligent Expressin lessons with sheer precision First hear me out, then make a decision On whether Everlast knows what time it is Does this song belong in the rhymin biz? Yes, I think so cause I'm a pioneer Blazin the trail across a new frontier I go the length and grow in strength as I get older Cause I'm a Syndicate soldier [ VERSE 2: Everlast ] All affections left behind There's two more gears to grind Before I'm through I'm sure that you will find A new respect for the rhymes I inject Through your eardrum, don't play dumb, just let me get to The point of my address, unless you fear you can't cope This song is on the tables to make you dance, so Get up, and if you don't leave the premises I'm newly recruited, so you can call me a Genesis Born to perform and please a large crowd of People at night until my ( ? ) A scandalous brother known for bein treacherous A s**er made a move and that's the reason Fletcher was Forced to put his head out, he got too close to me Two by my side and that's how it's 'posed to be These are my brothers and they been around me Since back in the days when the Syndicate found me They are the people deserve enough credit As my name gained fame they made sure I wouldn't let it Go to my head, instead I keep my feet down Unlike s**ers from the past I beat down Their fatal mistake was to break on my confidence Overall their fall was due to over-confidence As we go their egos all start acting with up With statements of greatness their rhymes aren't backing up Talking louder as they get bolder But there's no defense against a Syndicate soldier [ VERSE 3: Everlast ] As we reach the final stage some think I'll engage In a conflict that's sick with violent rage I gain fame from my name Everlast How long can this hype about a devil last? It started as fun but everyone took it serious Now it seems I'm seen as delirious That's ok, I'll stay underated And good things will come to all that have waited To the brother of a lighter skin to begin Droppin knowledge with weight cause you rate paper thin Science is one thing, knowledge is another What do I mean when I say that I'm a brother? Being a brother is a state of mind For all those who chose to remain unblind I grow in wisdom as I get older That's right, I'm white and I'm a syndicate soldier
