Ellis - Behind the Scenes lyrics

[Intro] Uh "E", double-"L", "I", dollar sign The world's yours and mine [x2] "E", double "L", "I", dollar sign The world's yours and mine Yo [Verse 1: Ellis] What you know about UFO's, greys, and reptilians So is your mind confined to your project building I'm plotting on millions, the politicin' with Sicilians about billions That be more boy brilliant They say "Brother Blu Raye, stay focused" Surrounded by fake n***as, bluffin' b**hes, and chain-smokers I remember feeling hopeless, me and Legin rollin' roses Now the CIA follow a n***a on Twitter Sending me DM's, like "n***a, we gon' k** ya" Your illest rhymes are some sh** I wouldn't remember I done said sh** so cold it make Jack Frost shiver Drivin' heat in the winter, mentality of a winner Brother, we ain't the same, son, our DNA's different. You see police I see the beast with the Hood between his teeth Love my nephews and my niece, wish 'em nothin' but peace School 'em to the hate this country keeps for 'em, then Teach them how to squeeze on 'em, and breeze on 'em They convicted my man his co-D's cop please on 'em Stan Green, do your thing [Hook: Stan Green] I can't believe it sometimes The way I see it, my mind is on repeat on the grind I never slow up Through the bleakest of times I keep my feet on the line Cause people creepin' on mine You never know what-- Could be behind the scenes n***as be lyin' and schemin' And they eye my green I keep the toaster It's not about what's legal, but About my people If you doubt the eagle Hey [Verse 2: Ellis] After 25 years, ‘seemed that I arrived here All these trials and tribulations turned me ‘to a wild kid I never thought I'd amount to the man you see today Attracting women with charm, who might I meet today? I tried to enjoy every advantage handed to me But my fear of success inflicts much damage to me A veteran with this music You could can it, rookie Perfection is how I do it; it's uncanny, truly Just imagine how many people didn't believe n***as I thought I was cool with think I'll never succeed I sit in the back of they brain, ‘cause they smile at my face And only call me if it benefits them in a way I should've listened when Kenny told me: distance myself And make a decision to envision equivalent wealth And by far, this is the realest sh** I ever wrote When it's from the hardest, it's not hard to think of better quotes It's fluid as rivers, I know I see brighter days Drunk drivin', try not to crash like the tidal wave But if I slow down at the stop-sign and give other n***as a chance, will I maintain the right-of-way? I would hope so, ‘cause most of them disposable Only rapping about guns, hoes, and clothes; know the truth: Another one to keep your ears open Evil genius, beard strokin' Yeah [Hook: Stan Green] I can't believe it sometimes The way I see it, my mind is on repeat on the grind I never slow up Through the bleakest of times I keep my feet on the line Cause people creepin' on mine You never know what-- Could be behind the scenes n***as be lyin' and schemin' And they eye my green I keep the toaster It's not about what's legal, but About my people If you doubt the eagle Hey [Verse 3: Ellis] Did Obama go to Haiti, did he speak on Oscar Grant? You know, the boy out in Oakland; the pigs shot him in his back He was handcuffed at that, on his stomach face-flat You don't believe me? Go to Youtube to see this sh** is fact Truth is truth, what I am to the booth Is like Black Thought to The Roots: the heart and soul Feelin' like Joe Scott, my life is golden My weed is a hybrid—two strands interwoven It'll leave you frozen; me? It just get me open Niagara Falls flowin'; it's been like that since the start Know I asked your boy to spit so he could sail off in that ark The education of Ellis, the life and times of your dude Pro'ly hard as a blind man solvin' a Rubik's cube Billy D. smooth, just don't get it confused Just don't get it confused Stan Green, do your thing [Hook: Stan Green] I can't believe it sometimes The way I see it, my mind is on repeat on the grind I never slow up Through the bleakest of times I keep my feet on the line Cause people creepin' on mine You never know what-- Could be behind the scenes n***as be lyin' and schemin' And they eye my green I keep the toaster It's not about what's legal, but About my people If you doubt the eagle Hey It's not about what's legal, but About my people If you doubt the Eagle Hey It's not about what's legal, but About my people Hey
