Been This Way Lyrics by Scribe

The Crusader

0

[Intro]
Every MC in this industry wants one thing
To be the best in the top of their game
You want it? Come and get me!

[Hook]
Do what you gotta do (come and get me !)
I came from the struggle; I'm bringing my pain with me
Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray
Yo, I been this way since back in the day YUP
Do what you gotta do (come and get me !)
I came from the struggle; I'm bringing my pain with me
Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray
Yo, I been this way since back in the day

(Yo Shan, lets take 'em)

[Verse 1]
You couldn't rock a joint with a mic and a pound of weed
You couldn't get a point across with a pen and a key of P
You couldn't get high as me with two tabs of LSD
Cool as a cucumber with two sticks of celery
Spit like watermelon pips from your juju lips
Hands mo callus can see excel from the mics I rip
My rhyme patterns supreme mm the baddest
Fresh - woo - my flows the fattest
Yeah and I gotta do this for those that never had it
But climbed the ladder only to watch all their dreams shatter
They doubled my pain; I tripled my skills in hip-hop
Quadrupled my strength, quintupled my props - yo
I got it locked yo and I'm ready to drop yo
And you can hit me with everything that you got yo
But I will not fall or trip over obstacles
Its logical I'm gonna run hip hop into the cortical

[Hook]
Do what you gotta do (come and get me !)
I came from the struggle; I'm bringing my pain with me
Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray
Yo, I been this way since back in the day YUP
Do what you gotta do (come and get me !)
I came from the struggle; I'm bringing my pain with me
Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray
Yo, I been this way since back in the day

[Verse 2]
Verse two, I stepped up and I made moves
I stayed true and like flows I paid dues
And came through slicing biters like Blade II
'Cause they knew I came to take out fake crews
And take you if that's what it comes down to
Tryna break through and go triple platinum like Che Fu (True)
Still I’m tighter than the Al-Qaeda with corn braids
Lines heavy like if you wake the whole with Dawn Raid
Fuck them and let them see I'm all yeah
I went back to the true school like DJ Sir Vere
So who the, who the fuck said that Scribe wasn't deep
Yo I'm deep like Mareko's voice tone when he speaks
And I'm ill like Uneepa with skills to pay the bills this year
MCs is getting cut like One Tree Hill, for real
I'm still the baddest MC to grab a pad and a pen
Go tell a friend Scribe is at it again. Yeah

[Hook]
Do what you gotta do (come and get me !)
I came from the struggle; I'm bringing my pain with me
Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray
Yo, I been this way since back in the day YUP
Do what you gotta do (come and get me !)
I came from the struggle; I'm bringing my pain with me
Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray
Yo, I been this way since...

[Verse 3]
I complete the beat like a snare I come crisp and clear
I'm here to test MCs like it's their 5th form year
We 'bout to find out who is and who isn't prepared
About to make careers disappear into thin air
Ask DJ Shan; yo I've been up in here
You'd better get it crystal clear your skill just doesn't compare
They're asking who's the best in the underground
No question the best is on the fucking mic right now!

[Hook]
Do what you gotta do (come and get me !)
I came from the struggle; I'm bringing my pain with me
Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray
Yo, I been this way since back in the day YUP
Do what you gotta do (come and get me !)
I came from the struggle; I'm bringing my pain with me
Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray
Yo, I been this way since back in the day

[Outro]
Yeah now come and get me, I'm waiting
I'll still be here ... when you're ready
