Tabu - Freestylin' Under Oath lyrics

[Intro: KXNG CROOKED] Yo, Ice, this sh** gon' be really um... It's a freestyle so it's gon' be It's gon' be choppy in parts, it's gon' be kinda sloppy But... it's gon' be from the heart so you know, we gon' capture this moment [Verse 1: KXNG CROOKED] I used to sit in my house freestylin to The Chronic, 2001 album, the instrumental version I was in my den rehearsin', if you woulda told me then I'd f** with Dr. Dre one day, I'd say you wildin' Wow, now I be sittin' with him in person, damn I grew up so poor that this sh** was bogus I told you I wrote my raps on the back of an eviction notice My momma was in the kitchen blowin' doja, getting loaded Then she quoted "One of these days that sh** you spittin' gon' get you noticed I know, you tired of this government cheese, just know I love you and your mother believes So many talented people with no self esteem underachieve So I really want my son to succeed" I love you ma I was sittin' in the Bentley when they hit me on the phone Joey and Royce, Patrón was all up in Royce's tone He said "Crooked you know what we gotta do, right? Voltron and form a crew, right?" Along with Brooklyn Ortiz, I couldn't be more pleased Cause after Hip Hop Weekly, I needed some doors opened and God was giving me some more keys An onslaught when I came in the door The best ever on the west, unless your last name is Shakur Remember that? That was a statement for sure These days, I don't say it no more n***as know I'm iller than ebola This sh** for the weed rollers Tell the haters "I'm rich, b**h and CC: Oprah" [Interlude: KXNG CROOKED] Yeah, just a freestyle You know what I'm sayin like... For n***as who f** with me Strictly for the n***as who f** with me Not these s**as, these new bandwagon s**as [Verse 2: KXNG CROOKED] I remember listening to Sway & Tech, The Wake Up Show If you was in Cali with crazy flow That was the only place to go to be heard on the radio But everybody would rip it, Biggie, Pac, Ras Ka**, Eminem and Xzibit I used to sit and listen till it was finished A couple of months later, I'm up there in the flesh, I'm giving n***as the business Like I left em an LLC in my will Speaking of will, I willed it into existence, I built it using persistence That's when DJ Clark Kent told me, I'm one of the illest on the west, man, that memory never left, man Cause props from the legends, that's the sh** that keep you going When you knowing you so hungry, if you lift up your clothing, your bones and your ribs showing And your crib got no electricity so a candle was in the dark glowing I start flowing, picture my words bouncing off the paint, stop flowing Turn this fountain off, I can't, nah I can't That's why I want the whole tortilla Me and the House Gang with Eminem in Seoul, Korea Man I waited for this my whole career 50,000 in the crowd, we on the Jumbotron, you hoes can see us You see us [Snippet from Eminem Interview] Interviewer: And Slaughterhouse, a few words about that, hopefully you might give that away Eminem: Slaughterhouse, we just waiting to get the deal finished, um... but it's gonna be crazy, I think that record is gonna be crazy and that's gonna be from the making. That's where I might step back in and try to produce a little bit too Interviewer: So Shady Records is still a priority for you? Something you still really believe in? Eminem: Yeah, definitely. Shady Records, we're definitely trying to get it back up and running. You know what I mean, we're in the rebuilding process right now [Verse 3: KXNG CROOKED] "The will to win, the desire to succeed The urge to reach your full potential, these are the keys To unlock the door to your personal excellence" That's a quote from Confucius, I've been using it ever since Music is heaven sent, I knew it even when I couldn't pay a producer 7 cent Or use it to pay my rent Adversity, that could break ya, currency that can change ya But these days my rhyme pays, I'm stacking major The money is a gift, but still I must remain outside of the box with all this rapping paper Later...
