Who the, who the, who the fuck wanna be an MC
If you can't get paid to be a fuckin' MC
Who the, who the fuck wanna be an MC
If you can't get paid to be a fuckin' MC
Yo, Sonny on the shine, light beaming through the atmosphere
Spittin' sincere, sheer, no fears, lovely and clear
Escaping the smear, creating my years
This be the times of peace, son, my music live in your ear
Fiji water, no beer, Sonny flow like tears of joy
I'm on top of my A-game, no longer unemployed
Yo, study the ploy, smoother than soy
It was a struggle, but I doubled with spirit, body and muscle
Moving through the puzzle of trouble, walking the hustle
But I stay subtle, purple green, floating like a bubble
Off that BK ocean, grown blowing out the muzzle
Live in the moment, every second on the hour
The son, shower, tower, power, twisting the sour
I keeps it diesel, my sound spread like the measles
Of course I'm blowing the map, there is no sequel
So peep the prequel, Sonny's fly like the wings of a seagull
Who the, who the fuck wanna be an MC
If you can't get paid to be a fuckin' MC
Who the, who the fuck wanna be an MC
If you can't get paid to be a fuckin' MC
Solomon Childs, young general don
Sound the alarm, live amongst street killers
When I was small, I was dreaming of living like the top billers
Back when my mama was throwin' skillets
Anything we didn't have, we stole it
Me and my brothers, we was quarter gun lovers
Shot at the thugs as well as all the undercovers
In and out of them pens like T.I., choppers knee high
Subu Island, borough of Staten Island
From the harbor to the hill, I'll bust the feathers off your hornbill
Steal your thrills out your mouth, throw the heat in your mouth
Who the, who the fuck wanna be an MC
If you can't get paid to be a fuckin' MC
Who the, who the fuck wanna be an MC
If you can't get paid to be a fuckin' MC
Pick up the mic, a feeling excites beyond fright
First the love for the game, then the jewels take flight
Reach heights, cause the third eye extends
Rappers, they depend on schemes and pretend
Not him, was born with the strength of iron men
Pen write a hymn on what to do then
You got the media that's out to fool them
Mouth full of greed, heart full of sin
I begin to give 'em that water oxygen
Benefits to your health, there's no oxidant
When I get started, there's no stopping then
Side line niggas like, "What's happening?"
So, who the fuck wanna be an MC
If you can't get paid to be rich and wealthy?
No concern for ordering the youth
That's why I massacre, slaughtering in the booth
Who the, who the fuck wanna be an MC
If you can't get paid to be a fuckin' MC
Who the, who the fuck wanna be an MC
If you can't get paid to be a fuckin' MC
