Leverage Lyrics by IAMe

Lame

2011

[Intro: IAME}
This really ain't a shot in the dark
I mean, this booth is well lit and nothing's obstructing my vision
But if it was a shot in the dark
I'm shooting from point-blank and there ain't no way I'm missing
Precise as a brain surgeon
So that lobotomy that I just gave you was on purpose
Like that song that you've heard from DBSR
It's abbreviated, SP affiliated

{Verse 1: IAME]
As far as me, my name is IAME, it kinda looks like Lame
So call me Lame, I got no shame like a voyeur
But spoiler alert, I end up winning this game
You getting knocked out of your frame by this boy here
Like the paintings that were hanging in your foyеr
Don't loiter, wrong place, wrong time
You might witnеss this murder and witnesses get cleaned up
These emcees are like Xena, but more princess than warrior
You missing the point, all I'm giving you's pointers
I once was a minor in possession of a minor depression
Now I'm grown and it's stressed I'm consumed by
But still, I count my blessings and my gesundheits
I moonlight as a private investigator, PI
I pry into your BI entrails of paper
Pretty much I'm a professional hater
But hate that times are tough, I'm just displacing my anger
It ain't my fault

[Hook: Sapient + IAME]
You better get, better get a better grip on your life
Motherfucker, making those efforts work right
You better get a better grip on your life
Or it's a waste of energy
What can be said of this? It's leverage
This ain't over until we finish it
What can be said of this? It's leverage
It's Heaven Noise, you better listen

[Verse 2: Sapient]
You better listen
When I say, "What up, I?"
I am not talking to myself, kids
Feel those voices that get it popping in my helmet
It's not well-lit in there, but I delve in
Hell-bent on living in hell, bent
Oh yea, we keep it real in the fiction
Peeling your wig, now you feeling the friction
Stepping up will get you tooth fairy visits
We ripping rappers' heads of like blueberry picking
If you can tell, I'm not enjoying this shit
Like Harvey Dent with his coin, I'ma flip
You gonna need some burn ointment to listen
I'm pissing on the track, no Freudian slip, no
No hypnosis, I'm on a mish, yo, to get those chips
I got bills for days, I got debt for miles
I got sweat by the buckets, yo it's just my trial

[Hook: Sapient + IAME]
You better get, better get a better grip on your life
Motherfucker, making those efforts work right
You better get a better grip on your life
Or it's a waste of energy
What can be said of this? It's leverage
This ain't over until we finish it
What can be said of this? It's leverage
It's Heaven Noise, you better listen

[Verse 3: IAME + Sapient]
Now Sape says I look deaf (He might be right)
In 20 years, I'll look like I cooked meth (Walter White)
I'm breaking bad, producing something fragrant in the lab
So potent these hustlers slang it out they Lac's
Pimps sell it too 'cause you can bang it on the ave
But heads already knew (What?), Lame is where it's at
A-a-a-a, yea I'm up to bat
We tryna make your speakers shake like a rumble pad
Yes, we run the map to be a part of history
Rappers sucking dick 'til the carpet skins their knees
I need a hit, well, well I swing my arms I'll hit some things
Muhammad Ali, no Parkinson's disease

[Hook: Sapient + IAME]
You better get, better get a better grip on your life
Motherfucker, making those efforts work right
You better get a better grip on your life
Or it's a waste of energy
What can be said of this? It's leverage
This ain't over until we finish it
What can be said of this? It's leverage
It's Heaven Noise, you better listen
You better get a better grip on your life
Or it's a waste of energy

[Outro]
You got to take sick and die some of these days
You got to take sick and die some of these days
All the medicine you can buy and all the doctors you can hire
You got to take sick and die some of these days
