Slate The Great - My Name (Intro)

Alright, So I'm about to introduce someone to you guys
Awtam encinci yalapha eBhayi
Igama layo ngu-"Slate"
He's a very amazing rapper
Yeah, 2013 when I picked up a pen
Been an illmatic before I was ten
Been back to back with the bars, Best believe when I make it
I swear I'll cop momma a Benz
Made in HIS image but made for the screen
Made music in secret cause they ain't believe, That one day I'll make it, can't sleep cause my dreams been keeping me up, I can't sleep till I win
I'm Pablo Picasso the poet, poetically potent, I crossed out my ex like I'm voting
Lyrically I got the potion, I don't leave no option
You gotta take L's to the boy, Niggas ain't rapping, they making a noise
Punchline galore like my first name was Floyd
I got the drip with the looks and the sauce and I flex on this beat like I'm loaded with roids
Swear they can't beat me, they tried and they failed I'm in the lead and they follow like tails
Still back to back with this heat I be spitting, ain't missing, I mean it one hundred percent
God first then love of the family next
Then comes the money and carats on neck
Slate is The Great, won't you give me respect Swear you noticed I'm loaded
You know that
the man gon' flex, Oh yes, I fail to fathom a future that's filled with misfortune for Faith in my Father, won't fail
I'm gon' get rich, it's a spoiler and not a prediction, my mission's to break every chain
Shoot for the stars when I aim, I ain't missed on the mic, Cause I'm just like it says in my name
They say you can't beat em, then join them, I joined them and beat em
And now I got none in my lane
Now I got none in my lane
I want the guap, not the fame
I'm spending hours in studio sessions
But soon they'll be shouting my name, Soon they'll be shouting my name
Soon they'll be fans of the Great
But wait
Yeah, I script like a lyrical god
I got that flow and the je ne sais quoi
Man I done rose like the yeast in the pot and I'm after the paper the colour of cops
Push and I'll press till the tippity top
Swear they can't catch me like Assane Diop
I'm spitting, they thieving like Arséne Lupon and I'm laughing it off like a dad to his son
Flow's done, GOAT, I'm one, upping these niggas with talent
Rappers my sons, I am father like Reverend, But I pray to mine for protection from serpents
I'm wide awake, I can't sleep till I make it, But that's taking time, dedication and patience
Closer and closer,the dream coming sooner
'Till then I'm gon' ride on these beats like they Uber's
Slate
Now I've got none in my lane
I want the guap, not the fame, I'm spending hours in studio sessions
But soon they'll be shouting my name
Soon they'll be shouting my name
Soon they'll be fans of the Great
But wait
