L.I.E. (Life In Effigy) Lyrics by DNA (da Nemesis Attraction)

Deep Songs 4 Shallow People

(Chorus)
I'm feelin' like a 1970s straight G hustler
But, on another tip, sometimes I feel like
A legit newcomer
Working hard to find a customer
Either way, I'm feeling super fly
I'm either gon tell the truth, or die
Layin' low helps keep my music high
Oh, I....been stuck in overdrive
Been dope since 2005
Whether studio or live
I'm down to ride - n-no lie
No lie...no lie
(Verse 1)
I learnt rap from a French dude I knew
In high school
Super dense in the mental, but I knew
I could prove I could, too, hang
Around the time Eminem was a new thing
And Mathieu introduced me to Wu-Tang
Way before dNA came to get it
S-Plicit was the new name - my decision: it was too lame
Back then, it was
All about the real
Dolla-dolla billz
All about the wheels and the new chain
Nowadays, it be
All about the kills
All about the mils
All about the pills and the poontang
Overkill in the food chain, hold up;
Boatloads of the coca, siempre...
Po-po wit' the dough, nuts [donuts] every day
East Coast breadjam for the mass mouth
Alley with a dead man in the trash out back
Like "damn, son"
Mef-Man/Redman wit the 'Blackout!' -
That was our anthems...
We was animated amateurs
Salmon in deep water
A man without a manager tryna seek stardom
Teen Night Sweewaters, buggin' Dennis & Bones
"Let us on! Turn a microphone on and record us"
Some wannabes used to make fun of me
Wanna see me choke in front of everybody
While they point and laugh at
That cracker tryna 'act black'
Rapping so wack, you would wanna leave
18 years later every one of these
Haters in jail, drinkin/druggin: they
The ones that be failures
Sucka muthafuckas ain't nuthin
Lemme see a man say something funny
PLEASE oh PLEASE try to front on me...
PLEASE oh PLEASE try to front on ME
These emcees are never gonna be much
You can dip deez nuts in your bubbly
What has been is what'll be, and order
Get captured: camcorder
I'm a bastard, sure to react an'
Turn a MAN'S LAUGHTER into MANSLAUGHTER
And, for the record: (I'm down ta ride)
Albeit salty (I'm an alkili)
Genocide pantomime, (no pal o' mine)
Ds4sp: dNA be powered by A.P
But in Greek (that's Alpha Pi)
You the pussy I eat (when I'm out for pie)
Irony/iron to your knee
Trauma to your upper thigh and your low shin[lotion] like calamine
Out of sight's out of mind
Round 1: This is NOT a mixtape or album
It's an alibi
Guns for your Roses: *chik-pow* sweet child of mine
I'ma dick down this valentine
Honeymoon Suite...Sig Sauer down by my side
Big power in powder
All kinda lines...
Prize is a reprisal: 'needlenose pliers to the eye' -kinda rhymes
I'm THE adored guy, though;
The rap Theodore Geisel
But I'm even more liable to beat a whore's eye closed
Nah man, I'm jus playin: I just say it cuz it rhyme dope
"Eff an effing bee" <--- that's as close
As you'll ever get to censoring me
Living legend, heaven-sent
Six-pence pay the rent
Spit it effortlessly...
Ladies and gents: This is ME
My life in effigy
(Chorus)
I'm feelin' like a 1970s straight G hustler
But, on another tip, sometimes I feel like
A legit newcomer
Working hard to find a customer
Either way, I'm feeling super fly
I'm either gon tell the truth, or die
Layin' low helps keep my music high
Oh, I....been stuck in overdrive
Been dope since 2005
Whether studio or live
I'm down to ride - n-no lie
No lie...no lie
(Breakdown/Song Outro)
Deep songs...for shallow people (4x repeat)
