Songtext zu 'Perseverance' von Zuby

Uh, mic check yo
Ha, we still here?
Still going strong yeah? Ha ha
Are you down with Zuby?
Chyea!

I will not go pop I will not go soft
When I say no, means no (no)
This is true hip-hop I do not flip flop
When I say flow, mean flow (flow)
This is perseverance, this is perseverance
This is perseverance, this is perseverance (chyea)
I will not go pop I will not go soft
When I say no, means no (no)
This is true hip-hop I do not flip flop
When I say flow, mean flow (flow)
This is perseverance, this is perseverance
This is perseverance, this is perseverance (chyea!)

Uh, this is perseverance
I've been on the rhyme since I made a first appearance
I been on the grind never waited for the clearance
Life is all the time so I'm gonna live it fearless
Yeah, and people gonna hear this
Made a little name with a vision and coherence
Never been a lame no I'm closer to a genius
Knowledge in my brain chalk it up to the experience
Still I’m not rich but at least I ain't broke
Never sell dreams cuz I'd rather sell hope
People so lost in the mirrors and the smoke
Think I'd be a realer bloke if I said I sold dope (nope)
But my fans will tell you that I'm awesome
I started selling and they bought 'em
I told them get em and I got ‘em
So if you want dope bars that is not problem
It's time to put the needles on the wax
Rock hard like I got The Beatles in the back
Go soft make an easy living off the map
Or I can go hard like fricking cheetah on the track
I'm grinding from a zero to a stack
And I'm talking about deniro getting jacked
If Wakanda needs a new king I'ma go hard to be the leader of the pack
A needle in a stack and I'm a fiending to attack
Not a baller no T'challa but a hero and I'm black
I'm an eagle to a rat, verbal demon on a track
I'm a scholar and a brawler, you don't feel it then you're wack
You're always talking evil in your rap
I'm trying put my meanings on the map
I gave you 12 rules for life and kept my room clean
I'm the Jordan Peterson of rap (chyea, bucko)

And I believe what I prophesise
So I don't apologise
Unless I do wrong, I don't bow to the mob I don't live to antagonise
But, they say I'm too outspoken
They wonder if I'm joking
Look, a little bit is jest but I say what I feel man I'm real and I'm open
Trust in God but I live in the physical
Selfish thoughts but I give in the lyrical
Thought cops hot want my speech to be criminal
Lies get fought when I speak the political (why?)
I am not left-wing I am not right-wing
I just know all these things I know
You cannot label me you can't put shame on me
When I say go means go
Fresh, I step into the premises
Kick dope rhymes and they love how I'm expressing it
Hop online and reply to all the messages
Gotta spend time man I'm grateful that you cherish it
Don't talk crap no I'd rather be irrelevant
Can't play dumb, people know that I'm intelligent
See me up, late night, big beard, Letterman
12 years deep now I'm flowing like a veteran (chyea!)
Dudes show love now I'm moving up in eminence
Girls show love cuz they're feeling all the pleasantness
Got huge dreams I could never be a pessimist (nah)
Too much love I could never be a feminist (ha ha)
Girl, stop looking all incredulous
I am not a bad man I am not your nemesis
Always had a mega drive, take it back to genesis
Worked so hard, time to reap a couple benefits (chyea!)
Chyea!
