Notorious

(He's a big man... who's used to handling big problems) [Sense MC] Notorious, Sense MC... Whiney I still do this for the art, no pretend bits Been out 'ere on my own, the last ten years Friendxit, I tell you only the truth I been homeless so long I made a hole in the booth S'got a hole in the roof, but I've always been the rhyme king Loads of other MCs but we don't do the same thing Our styles are not similar, yeah You know my name from nowhere in particular I dunno if you noticed Last ten years I've dropped nothing but goat sh*t Had the keys to the game, thought "fuck it" and broke it 'n since then I've left nothing unspoken I write for you if you're stuck in a hole Lookin' at that big pile of nothing you own A lonely old man, stuck on a throne The emperor is naked but covered in gold, so MCs come to me seeking validation While I'm looking down the barrels checking calibrations The main barrier's imagination I'm carrying a banner of retaliation And that explains when I spit at a party All these little Daniel-sans are getting Mr. Miyagi I wax on, I put it on wax I script all these lyrics on the back of the [?] I'm a whole decade ahead of the game Take a microdot trip down memory lane I kept my face covered, they remember the name I remember nothing, 'cept how the medicine taste Now I'm famous, 'cept I'm not... my name is (He's a big man... who's used to handling big problems) Yo, who makes it look as easy as this? I'll give your favorite rapper 16 reasons to quit They talk about deep and never seen the abyss Well, I just never settled, like chameleon skin, alright Alright, skip the tedious bits I made my excuses like I needed a piss I chase dragons like they really exist And I told more lies than the media did, see to your scripts The echoes of the past Serious gifts, I should let go of the bars I should've known better, "it was never gonna last" I think, watching Guinness as it settles in the glass They're sellin' heroin on Mars Like, it's only human I check for signs of life No improvement Money grows on trees, it's no illusion You fuckin' know it's me, there's no confusion I'm the only one that talks like this Livin' life by a torchlight Kids, don't do what I do Or do what I say Just find what you love And do it today If you feel the same next day, do it again 'til you see your life all beautifully framed My perspective keeps moving away 'til there's nothing left to see except the music we made And that's the legacy, that's the body of work You see me? I never found God in a church I'm not the sort of man that's gotta come first And I won't tell a story that you've probably heard, but still I been fightin' since I dropped on the Earth And I think something might've gone wrong at the birth I'm not quite sure yo, my memory's hazy And I'd love to talk more but I'm incredibly lazy I'm out
