Songtext zu 'Act Right' von Eyedea

Act Right

Ay yo Abilities man
I got a lil' somethin' I gotta get off my chest right quick
Aight, dig this man
I'm sick of all these punk motherfuckas in this rap game, you know what I'm sayin'?
I'm sayin' these fools steppin' up to us knowin' they shit is straight gaabage, you know what I'm talkin' about
E & A don't play that shit man
Aight, check it out

[Verse 1]
It's like we walk into the place and instantly we're surrounded
The king pin, big shots of this underground shit
In less than a 'sec, Abilities is at the bar
Half these cats don't even know who we are, but we still act like stars
Guess that coulda been tight, I wasn't listenin'
I was peepin' out some new lyrics my man Carnage was kickin'
[Fast lyrics]
Now back to the subject of me not givin' a damn about you
This is my world, it just so happens that you live in it too
But that don't mean I gotta tolerate your talk
There's a thousand other people in this room that'd probly love to hear your thoughts
But while you're uncomfortably ridin' my tip, Abilities is upstairs stealin' your chick
You want props, stop runnin' your mouth
Just give a pound, buy a CD and, (?) we out
Yo, you need to take a few steps back
Your DJ can't scratch and your MC can't rap
You all up in my face and we just came here to max
Man you stupid motherfuckers need to learn how to act

[Weird voice]
Ay yo, ain't that that Eyedea kid?
Talkin' all that crazy
Man I'm 'bout to hyperbolate this fool
You can't see me

[Verse 2]
Ever since we started winnin' battles and travelin' 'cross the land
Fools think if they can beat you they can be you and
They wanna test, so they step, not knowin' Eyedea's rep
To leave 'em swept, the contest always ends like this

[Battling]

Man these kids get on my nerves, but I can't pretend I hate 'em
'Cuz whack MC's is such a great source of entertainment
Me and Abilities watched the Blaze Battle for like a year
"Yo this kid out there, ain't got nothin' to do"
It's funny, sometimes kids are so whack with the rappin' instead of rappin' back I just wind up laughin' like

Yo, you need to take a couple steps back, your partner can't scratch and your cousin can't rap
You all up in my face and we just came here to max
Man you stupid motherfuckers need to learn how to act

[Girl]
Oh, my, God
Eyedea & Abilities, you guys are so phat, my boyfriend loves you guys so much
You know what?
Oh my God, you should sign my tits, oh great

[Verse 3]
You know we love to see y'all at the shows, but this is dedicated to the one someone might call a "ho"
All I gotta do is wink to get you back to my hotel
I can't respect a person that don't respect themselves
You're that one girl I went to high school with
Back then you treated me like I wasn't shit
You say if I give you a free CD you'll show me your tits
You get the CD for 10 bucks like everyone else you stupid "biatch"
I don't care if you just broke up with your boyfriend
I ain't tryna go where every other rapper's been
If I was to kick it all my boys would clown
So I could "never hold ya, can't hold ya, won't hold ya down"
All ya gotta do is learn some manners
Men and men
DJ's and rappers
There's nothing more to say, this meeting is adjourned, and if you don't know by now
"I think it's time you learn"
