Story Behind the Song
I wrote this because I was (and am) sick of meaningless songs with such beautifully intelligent lyrics as "damn, i'm so high i forgot where muh gun is at". What else can I say? Have a listen.
Lyrics
Chorus:
This is the new style, you think you can say
if I can't take this rap, turn it the other way
This is the new style, you think you can do
anything about these rhymes comin' to you
This is the new style, you think you can say
if I can't take this rap, turn it the other way
This is the new style, you think you can do
anything about me bringin' these rhymes to you
Verse 1:
Now that i got your attention
without having to mention
that i'm rappin without all the pretension
that the rappers just spit cuz they aint got the words
so they gotta make, break, and fake their way to the first place
then you never see their face
it's the one hit wonder, gonna go under
but not me, imma keep doing what I like
you'll have to come and pull me away from this mic
you can't stop me, your raps get sloppy
but if they had meaning then I bet you couldn't top me
you can't copy my style
you wanna be me for a while?
ok, you're a fifteen year old white guy
and you wanna be famous and spit your raps live
and you don't wanna brag and you wanna stay clean
and you wanna keep it tight, but that hasn't been seen
cuz all the rappers do is brag and diss
throw in some four letter words, and you got an instant hit
but it's not what you say, it's how you say it
it's how your beat sounds and how you play it
all I wanna say is don't rule me out yet
you get beaten by a rapper than you ain't even met, come on
Chorus
Verse 2:
I don't mean to brag, but I really am sick of you
gangsta punks wonderin' why the people keep kickin' you
guns and drugs, drugs and guns, if that's your idea of fun, you'll get none
when you don't rap, you got a good message for the young
but then your turn around and rap about drugs and guns
I'm sick of rappers sayin that they're sick of people too
cuz I'm sick of rappers sayin that without a reason to
you get dissed by the rappers that call themselves pro
but they ain't tight, and I don't think they know
if you wanna be a rapper gotta have your own style
cuz I'm sick of imitators that ain't worth the while
you wanna get down, do ya wanna move up
you wanna be a hit, dont you wanna blow up
wanna be tight like Eminem, clean like Will Smith
young like Lil Bow Wow, fresh as the Fresh Prince?
if you wanna battle me with gangsta rhymes
go ahead, but you'll never write the raps just like mine
face it, you fake it, you ain't comin real
and after the first spin, your rap lost its appeal
Chorus
Outro:
This is the new style, you think you can say
if I can't take this rap, turn it the other way
this is the new style, you think you can do
anything about this rap game changes too
