Masta Ace - Revelations lyrics

[Verse One] At times I don't know who I be And when I look in the mirror its like I don't know who I see Am I even moving at all? Cuz I swear I can't tell if my life is improving at all Every time I got a pen in my hand I forget every time before that one has been in my hand And I write for the moment, get it tight how I want it Get the right lawyer on it cuz I might wanna own it I tussle and I fight, I hustle and I write I struggle every night with every muscle in my mic I'm in this rap race trying to eat the cheese But y'all don't know my name like Alicia Keys My face ain't familiar, neither is my music If sh** don't soon change I be the one to lose it I drink a little liquor tryin' to heal my nerves Cuz y'all don't listen here and feel my words But something's wrong with y'all, ain't nuttin' wrong with me And happy in my life is what I long to be And happy in my life is what I'm gonna be What you see in me is what I was born to be From the day that my moms first birthed a child She didn't need the world to make it worth the while So I don't need no magazine to reach the pinnacle Screw a review and you can eat the interview Cuz that's what y'all seem to tend to do Them cats you cover all seem identical Through it all I weave like the park was here And shine underground cuz it's darkest there [Chorus] Keep movin' along, keep bringin' it on, and keep singin' the song Try and listen Keep movin' along, keep bringin' it on, and keep singin' the song Try and listen Keep movin' along, keep bringin' it on, and keep singin' the song Try and listen Keep movin' along, keep bringin' it on, and keep singin' the song [Verse Two] Y'all industry n***az should be feeling ashamed Y'all like "he ain't still in the game, he's stealing the name" Oh wait just a sec that's straight disrespect Take sh** and get and don't be late with the check I'm on the underground trying to scrape and scrounge And sure it feel good to take a break and lounge All these ups and downs like a roller coaster Life is a b**h I'm trying to hold her closer I'm k**in' every n***a in sight The bigger the dog, the bigger the fight If you really say you know me then you'd figured I might Try to use my anger as a trigger to write I put it down simple on the paper or pad Try to take a stab at what is making me mad I jump on the track and I ride it through And do it for the people that are tried and true But y'all so fickle y'all love me today And tomorrow love another cat and shove me away But most ain't committed to do it how I did it In the way that I did it, in the way that I spit it It's like my burst of truth and it might hurt the booth But first the proof, it gave birth to youth Rap's like trying to take a piss in the wind I'm just glad to know that some of y'all are listenin' in [Chorus] Keep movin' along, keep bringin' it on, and keep singin' the song Try and listen Keep movin' along, keep bringin' it on, and keep singin' the song Try and listen Keep movin' along, keep bringin' it on, and keep singin' the song Try and listen Keep movin' along, keep bringin' it on, and keep singin' the song
