Rugged One - Liberate The Flock lyrics
Got a baby on the way, I'm way beyond the same Sick, crazy or insane, dude who jumped into this game Now I'm playing it for keeps, aiming for the top And I'm shaving all the sheep, trying liberate the flock Call me a shepherd, I'm really just a man with a plan Why save sheep, when I could fix the land with the lambs My speech special, any lesser emcee I teach lessons Consequently, I eat more beats than I eat breakfast It's music with a message, text with texture Fact mixed with fiction, or truth with conjecture You can speculate, about the truths to which I self-dedicate Or you can check my record, it's the tale of a heavyweight I bullied my way into the drug game successfully I read people well, so it's hard to get the best of me I beat people well, so the Gangsta's started loving me I wouldn't call it thug life, just necessary thuggery I lived like that for too long, man, believe my words I never thought the way out for me, could be my words But that's the way it's turned out for me, I ain't complaining Cause now it's gonna work out for me, I aim to make it Got a baby on the way, I'm way beyond the same Sick, crazy or insane, dude who jumped into this game Now I'm playing it for keeps, aiming for the top And I'm shaving all the sheep, trying liberate the flock Got a baby on the way, I'm way beyond the same Sick, crazy or insane, dude who jumped into this game Now I'm playing it for keeps, aiming for the top And I'm shaving all the sheep, trying liberate the flock They keep telling me I elevate, I'd have to agree I Taught rap to myself, and earned a masters degree Top of my cla**, majoring in mashing emcees Call me the vet, cause my shots'll snap you to sleep People ask me why I'm shaving the sheep, it's cause they're blinded They following the leaders, content to stay behind them These people need guidance, they've gotten complacent I'ma let them follow me, like I'm the star of David My thoughts are a gift of God, sometimes that really hurts Cause I don't pray enough, and I don't go to church Yet in the third world, I bet they pray everyday Some for those they lost, and others for a better way That's who I picture, when I write a song like Get Away That hits you like a lead weight, and makes you give your head a shake It haunts you like a nightmare, you're layin your bed awake No matter what pills you take to self-medicate Got a baby on the way, I'm way beyond the same Sick, crazy or insane, dude who jumped into this game Now I'm playing it for keeps, aiming for the top And I'm shaving all the sheep, trying liberate the flock Got a baby on the way, I'm way beyond the same Sick, crazy or insane, dude who jumped into this game Now I'm playing it for keeps, aiming for the top And I'm shaving all the sheep, trying liberate the flock I'm trying to liberate the flock, through independent thought Friends tell me I'm a genius, or an idiot savant I'm progressing at a level, that's never before seen Writing at 22, but free-styling near fourteen People that never liked me, now tell me I'm nice 170 tracks, and not one about ice I guess I'm just not black enough to see the appeal In borrowing a chain and bracelet, to state that I'm real I don't believe in it, some cats'll hate me for that But those are people with an allergy to actual fact Or they Dudes who on salaries, but hacking at rap But the problem is they're talentless, like half of the pack Who pulled the wool over their eyes, and led them astray And Who forgot to tell the sheep not to get in my way Some days I think that I should maybe just, save my breath But it's liberate the flock, or watch them walk to their d**h Got a baby on the way, I'm way beyond the same Sick, crazy or insane, dude who jumped into this game Now I'm playing it for keeps, aiming for the top And I'm shaving all the sheep, trying liberate the flock Got a baby on the way, I'm way beyond the same Sick, crazy or insane, dude who jumped into this game Now I'm playing it for keeps, aiming for the top And I'm shaving all the sheep, trying liberate the flock
