The Rodentz - The History of the Rodentz lyrics

[Intro: Li-Mouse] Yeah, yo, been doing this for a long time People always asking us, when our joint gon' come out But, you know, sh** is hard Got work, school, all that It's alright, though, we always come through at the end Good things take a long time to make You know, that's word, from my heart, yeah [Cno Evil] Six years ago, a friend of mine Showed me his ways with his brand new rhyme And that's the rhyme, that I'm about to say He spit it for me, and it went this way "I'm the M-O-U-S-E, featuring Cno E I'm just so nice, that's why people sweat me My rhymes is so cold, I need coffee in a foam cup, to warm up You defeat me? It'll be all luck" It went like that, I was like oh sh**, we blowin' up real fast No matter what we said to our friends, they would stil laugh We said, f** 'em, we doin' it big, we goin' public Performin' out in the courtyard, during lunch and sh** Blessed with the name Rodentz, with the force of broncos We would, spit over acoustic strings, by Dennis Polanco At the, Songwriter's Showcase, be the only rappers to show they face We'd have, middle aged folks, clappin' up the place Spittin' outside, little theatres, and cafeterias Our rhymes so sick, infest the food with bacteria Invested with our flows, a little bit We bought better microphones and, better equipment Said f** it, no more downloadble instrumentals I started creatin' beats, of ideas from out my mental Friends started to get hype, so they would try to cram in But when all the dust cleared out, only me & Mouse were standing Years pa**ed, more cameras documenting our flows I still got the tape with Peter Freeman yellin' "Cno!" During our, senior year, we were tired, so we f**ed up Decided to commercialize this time to try and blow up "It's On" -- was the name of that song It actually gained popularity amonst high school halls Had freshmen b**hes crowded up in a bed While me and Mouse spit in wife beaters right off of our head No more, off the paper, we felt just like heroes J.C. Williams and Sam Turner, shot our first video In the Prelude, we rhymed, in the laundry room we shined We even had girls all up on us, this time Our heads started to gas up, so we pushed it Next show we had was filled with 'germs' and 'bullsh**' Straight up disaster, and that was well earned laughter So high school ended right there, much faster Heard questions, "Aiyo, when's the album really droppin'?" Still felt support "Whens the CD out? I'm coppin'" School's over, felt like our careers were over Me and Mouse wouldn't talk that much, but we stayed sober Couldn't speak for the rest of those, so-called-friends Called us up, once in a blue moon, won't do that sh** again Mouse kept writing rhymes, my beats started to get beyond they time I told Mouse, let's do it right this time Cuz I felt like I took hip hop for a**ault and battery Mouse started, to write rhymes faster than me Went from Six Feet Under, Foretold Future, Order Rodentia Spendin' My Day, Secret Manuals, not to mention the Countless hours of recording demos like showers Rainin' down on White Plains, stand like towers Now we don't give a sh**, on who supports us anymore Those who said they buy our sh**, they can hit the door And we don't wanna hear your sh**, when you see us on TV First you wouldn't speak to me, now we all friendly? Man... From now on, this is our moment Sincerely, Darren Mosley & John Siino, better known to you as The Rodentz [Outro: Li-Mouse (Cno Evil)] Yeah, man, I told you, we ain't doing this sh** for you, man We doing it for us, been working on it for like, 4, 5, 6, years I don't even -- I lost count already, man If you don't like it, you don't got to listen to it, I don't care f** it, you think we care, yo, you can say whatever you want, man You're wack, I'm wack, Cno's wack, I don't care, sh** Man, yo, I'm telling you right now, most of that joint out there They be saying the same sh** anyway, yo, we're just We're just trynna bring some variety into this, knowhatimean?
