4 the Record(Explicit) - Murs

4 The Record - Murs
I rock the mic like it's my last chance to breathe
Display a level of skill you could only hope to achieve
Within this lifetime and I write rhymes that'll make marks
Shut the f**k up when I recite mines
State syllables on snares
Like bombs so I'm guaranteed to blow up
When I touch down on tracks
Watch your whole crew collapse
Like households then I introduce the crack
Black motherf**kers
Thinking it's d**e time to shine
Lackluster blockbuster b-boys
Went Krush Groove and Beat Street
Now they think it's safe to drop styles on beat
I make them all retreat like back to back Halloweens
Destroy the following
Believing rap's the sport for spectators
How the f**k you supposed to blow up
Living Legends got the detonator
For all these b**ch-a** record haters
So-called entertainers just rappers online
Ni**a this Mid-City on mine
From the town where bangin is life
F**k around get you a** gangstered for the mic
For the record there's too many niggas grabbin mics
For the record none of them is comin this tight
Ay for the record 4:27 this track
Ay for the record
The Living Legends always got my back
Ay for the record you want it
Go out and take that sh*t
And for the record
My crew had a show we ripped that sh*t
Ay for the record whenever this sh*t drops
Ay for the record
Just because you in the club you ain't hip-hop
I hit the spot givin up that index finger and thumb
To let you know where I'm comin from
Living Legends b**ch don't act dumb
Cause some will wanna denounce the name
Some nerd-a** niggas without an ounce of game
Tape sounds the same as the rest of them
Murs ends the careers of the best of them
I mean this ni**a starts battles in empty rooms
And after I consume my shadow
I'mma travel to your homestead
Blow you out in front of your own hedge
First fly off the dome like led in gunfights
F**k everything you done witcha whole life
After battlin me you'll only remember this one night
Play it over and over again in your mind like Bill Murray
In a hurry to escape but just to f**k wit'cha head
I put the sh*t to tape not just for you
But for every MC so you can peep where you at
And see where you need to be
Proceed with me
Through them underground catacombs
Where the Living Legends roam
Perfectin the techniques to speak
On phones type micro
Thinkin you buildin a reputation
Just perpetuatin the cycle
If all were fallin to the slang f**k with me
Take a bite out Self Destruction like
We're All in the Same Gang
You niggas can't hang
For the record you a b**ch
We gonna treat you like a b**ch
Ay for the record pick a style don't ever switch
And for the record
That whole tape you gave me was weak
And for the record
Next time you see me don't even speak
And for the record it's always freestyle never written
And for the record
Ay for the record this is only the beginning
And for the record the Legendary saga
Is never-ending
I'm from a crew of the most hated underrated
MC's on the planet yes I cram to understand it
And hopefully shed light
In a time when niggas is hopin on open mics
Instead of what they write
I compose prose to leave foes froze like Bobby Drake
Go below zero with the flow and never break
Ever make a man come to tears
After rippin his a** in front of his peers
That's the sh*t I live for
And that's why you live in fear
I'm the man known only as Murs
Makin you recognize and submit
After only one verse
Wake Up Show wouldn't play it
Even without the curse
You gotta kiss they a** first;
But I bet they stop
All that politickin after they get they a** kicked by Murs
My aim was never to play games
On some Parker Brothers sh*t
I've been on some dark and other sh*t
For a while now
The style now seems to be independent
And well connected
F**k that my family stay independent
And well respected
This sh*t's directed
To every ni**a comin up short
When the cash gets collected
You can pick up this record
Wherever good music and true skill are still expected
Check it
Hey hey Murs Hey you remember me man
Hey you tore my a** in front of the club last week
Y'knahmsayin Hey hey check this out
You're the greatest
You're the dopest freestyler I've ever met
Hey can we do it again Check it out
Let's battle let's do it man
My friends they didn't believe me
They didn't know about it but I know you've got it
Hey Murs hey I I I I can't help but sayin it
You're so d**e Murs
