Kevin W. White - Thin Line

Once up a time rappers used to be real
Nowadays rappers front when they hold the steel
No skill talkin' 'bout I got a glock can I get props
I think not put that chat on a lock
Never understood why you even try to flow
Even though you know no one's believing
Deceiving like Satan maybe Walter Payton
Can throw you back into the fact that your rap's wack
You have me frustrated hip hop is living can't be recreated
Never understood never could never will
Losing every time like the Buffalo Bills
Man it's scary
rappers living in a fantasy world like that girl Mariah Carey
Yet I stay the original smooth individual
Even is a sign of the times I wouldn't kid y'all
And when I make it brothers wanna take it
'Cause I got a real hard style and don't fake it
So to all emcees who talk cheese
Please turn your style 360 degrees
It's a very thin line between the wackness and the sounds of blackness
If you don't know you need the practice
The fact is the versatile flow is so natural
Told you before all the rhymes is original
Very thin line between the wackness and the sounds of blackness
If you don't know you need to practice
The fact is the versatile flow is so natural
Told you before all the rhymes is original
I used to think the highest level of rap music was being hard
Not fearing man child or God
Not even fearing life itself pursuit of wealth the highest level
Working for the devil never working for the people
Nobody equal
Systematically conditioned on material possessions
Politricks working to continue the oppression
I learn my lesson
Viewer discretion is advised when the big guys
Want to capitalize
On the system
Strictly dissin'
Like reaping but never sowing and talking but never knowing
And rapping but just blowing the consequences of your actions
You're working for the monetary satisfactions
My counteraction is lyrical blows
I'll rock a brother hard enough to make his eyelids close
From my prose
Make him think about it then reconsider
Strictly roots and culture coming from the Heavyhitter
It's a very thin line between the wackness and the sounds of blackness
If you don't know you need the practice
The fact is the versatile flow is so natural
Told you before all the rhymes is original
Very thin line between the wackness and the sounds of blackness
If you don't know you need to practice
The fact is the versatile flow is so natural
Told you before all the rhymes is original
To emcee or not to emcee that is the topic
Nothing wrong with fame and glory everybody need to make a profit
Back in the day we use to rock it for self
Nowadays the motivation is to pocket the wealth
You're saying keep it real but yo' what really are you keeping
Fact is you need to practice what you're preaching
Intellectuals are ineffectual
styles go on and on like perpetual
Let it be known
You was raw to the bone then you wouldn't be prone
To sway all back and forth like a metronome
One hit wonders on the M-I-C
Can't make it last so instead they make the fast money
You see me
I grab the mic get hype and start to deliver
Smooth kinda rhymes to make your body shiver
Come hither north side of the border
And all wack emcees get yourself in order
It's a very thin line between the wackness and the sounds of blackness
If you don't know you need the practice
The fact is the versatile flow is so natural
Told you before all the rhymes is original
Very thin line between the wackness and the sounds of blackness
If you don't know you need to practice
The fact is the versatile flow is so natural
Told you before all the rhymes is original
