In this lifetime you don't have to prove nothing to nobody except yourself And after what you've gone through if you havn't done that by now It ain't gonna never happen [MaD Son] Yo, hey yo I'm never what you'd expect me to be Clever like that just when you cats think you know me Never let the negativity hold or stop me Never forget the knowledge hip-hop has taught me And even though the Prophets might never get signed Never drop a video or go platinum with the rhymes It'll be cool just to knowin that we've touched a few and rocked the mic with some of the dopest emcees too [Big Jess] You'll never catch jess giving anything less than my all And I'll forever be with MaD SoN until the day I fall I'll never be as dope as you dogg but I can live with that You'll always get love from me but you;ll never give it back I'll never see a million dollars in this life ime And you'll never be blessed to have a woman quite like mine To gain respect is a never endin journey 'Cos I'll always be Jess and I guess I'm never worthy [Slug] Never could my voice lay down and die Gimme one good eye to see my influence fly Forever I'll try to wear a genuine smile 'Cos I've planted my style across a million miles I've never turned my back on the heads I attract Mic check, need a breath keep a step on the path Never lose sight of what this is to me And how it helps my plight to let everyone else see I'll never go out of my way to hold you back I'm just here to make your head rock maybe make your shoes tap And with some luck maybe I can stuck within your memory remember me the one that does give a --what-- [Chorus: repeat 2X] I will never be you and you will never be me But I'm like whatever we can work together and see And all we need is the sun and some water for this tree And we can all get free even I can get free [MaD SoN] And yo I'll never forget those who always believed And the ones who gave us R-E-S-P-E-C-T Yo I'll never be the MC that you want me to be There'll always be something I do or say and you won't agree Thats my individuality o-riginality Even though some of y'all get pissed off and mad at me Never forget my family or where I'm from And never blame others for the wrong I've done Yo I'll never hold a grudge I say peace and show love Never believe one day i'd be rhymin with Slug Never know the abilities that you posess Til you find yourself and lay all assumptions to rest I'll never stop writing when theres no ink left an I'll never stop flowing even when theres no breath And I'll never find the words that describe my mind Yo I'll never stop looking I'll never stop trying [Slug] Better believe I'll never be the best word worker Instead I use the soul to take the flow further I'll never rhyme about guns, selling drugs or murder Sooner see a future of flippin' burgers I'll never forget about the city that raised me The women I've chased and the cops that have chased me The people that pushed me to become who I am And everyone that came to the jam --like damn-- [Big Jess] I'll never be the freshest Never be the dopest even though sometimes its hopeless I'll never lose focus I'll never be afraid to show the depth of my emotions Theres a side of me thats deeper than the belly of the ocean I'll never be the smartest Never be the brightest I'll never be the hardest never be the tightest On the mic I'm just your average joe never more But I've been more dedicated than ever before I'll never give up Never call it quits You can never hold me down and I never did like you ya funny clown I'll never be on top Never be the cream of the crop And no matter what they say I'll never stop I never wanna be you you never gonna see me life for me ain't ever been easy yo believe me I try to keep positive no matter the weather and no matter what I'll never say never [Chorus]
