Check Yourself Lyrics by Amity

Assorted Nonsense

2020

Sample:
You better stop and check yourself

Verse 1:
Give me a minute to pick up a rhythm and capture it/
Zip it and listen, these lyrics I’m spitting are accurate/
Scribbling riddles to fit in a little time capsule/
Each syllable's written in history’s script just to act in it/
Actually, I live in a different reality/
I’m back for the win as you’re sitting and flicking through magazines/
And I’m sick of the critics who think that I’m amateur/
But if they’re not listening, still I’ll be tipping my hat to them/
Let me spell it out for you, A-M-I-T-Y/
I’ve been away but I’m back to say that I’m mighty fine/
It’s been a minute, I’ll admit I was taking time to write/
So I could come back better and spray these lines of mine/
Snares that make you flinch, kicks that rattle your rib cage/
Hats that shatter your teeth and crack when I hit stage/
I’m high end, these other rappers are mid-range/
Switch lanes or your legs may happen to give way

Hook:
Stop/
You better stop and check yourself/
Stop/
Stop and check yourself, I said/
Stop/
You better stop and check yourself/
Just stop

Verse 2:
People I ain’t seen in a minute ask if I still rap/
As if I’d quit, well I didn’t, homie, so sit back/
Don’t make me change this face palm to a bitch slap/
You think I’m lying? I’ll be kicking it with the big cats/
Bringing boom bap back, man, they tip hats/
They lack rhythm and spit while listening to click tracks/
With mouth grills and a six pack, it’s a trick act/
Why you think they insist on calling that shit trap?/
I’m a grown man and you’re a fuckboi/
So you better put your head between your legs and cluck, boy/
If you think I’m a chicken, you better duck, boy/
You’re all birds of a feather and getting plucked, boy/
So watch your back if you’re coming my direction/
If real recognise real, I guess I’m in unfamiliar territory/
Too many wannabes are under-skilled at everything/
But I walk the walk so if you’re not running, kid, you better be

Hook:
Stop/
You better stop and check yourself/
Stop/
Stop and check yourself, I said/
Stop/
You better stop and check yourself/
Just stop

Verse 3:
I’ve been making waves, got the listeners wet/
I’m up and coming like I’m fucking in the middle of sex/
Whether I’m on wax, compact disc or cassette/
Chained to the rhythm, under arrest for killing a set/
Without a doubt the best rapper you never heard of/
As soon as I step in the room they’re getting nervous/
Checking themselves out, there’s no better service/
Each verse is so perverse and clever-worded/
I wave with a fistful of grenades with the pins pulled/
While I'm aiming a spitball at a cage full of pitbulls/
I hate what you think’s cool, I make you all feel fooled/
Like bait on a fishhook decorated with tinsel/
I’m marking my territory, if you’re smart you won’t step to me/
If you laugh then you’re dead to me, so don’t start, I’ll be ending it/
Man, what would these rappers know about artist integrity?/
It’s not hard to remember me because half of them envy me

Hook:
Stop/
(Yeah)
You better stop and check yourself/
(Just stop)
Stop/
Stop and check yourself, I said/
(C'mon)
Stop/
You better stop and check yourself/
(What are you doing?)
Just stop
(Just stop, you know what I'm saying?)
