[Akrobatik]



Yo, one one time, I was, I was talkin to my man



My man Beatbox Prince right?



He was explain this situ-this situation that he was in



And he was like, "Yo Ak, if I don't



if I don't handle this situation right here, I lose."



And I thought about that



Cause yo, I ain't tryin to lose, check this out







Aiyyo 5 A.M., still wide awake



Can't sleep a wink I'm contemplatin moves to make



Daily situations got me in a effed up state



I need to overcome the stress and hold my own weight



I wonder how many of y'all truly know the pain



of a ghetto superstar who can't afford to ride the train



Fifty million things is goin on inside my brain



but yet and still heads say I'm gassed if I slip and forget they name



Workin forty hours puttin up with bull{shit



When my label stressin me to stay consistant with lyrics



It's pressure but realistically this here could solve my problems



and enhance my wins column, but one thing



If my lyrics ain't tight, I lose



Don't blaze the set all night, I lose



Can't maintain and pay dues, I lose



And yo I ain't tryin to lose (uh-uh, never catchin L's)



Fame, glamour and glitz



It's time to start savin, and buildin on some grown man {shit



Yo, I need to see "The Light" like Pharoahe and Common



and get off this diet of greasy-{ass pizza and ramen



So I keep my music tight, and stay on the playlist



Not because I'm gleamin simply cause I'm bein creative



And I can't front, it's easy to make a joint from the heart



when every single {fuckin thing around you's fallin apart



So as the record spins, my trance begins



I grab the bull by the horns and the shark by the fins



When Kris, Rakim, and Chuck was speakin I was listenin



So let this rebel's "Lyrics of Fury" enter your skin







[Hook]



If the lyrics ain't tight, I lose



Don't blaze the set all night, I lose



Can't maintain and pay dues, I lose



And yo I ain't tryin to lose



I refuse to take a "L"..



I can't take no "L"..



Don't need to take a "L"..



Yo Akro refuse to take a "L"..







(yo yo, no I ain't tryin to lose)







[Akrobatik]



Reachin daybreak, you never know how long that may take



But I know it will take longer with too many mistakes



Earth be on my back like don't depend on rap



Son it ain't guaranteed so watch how much you spend on that



And I'm bright yo, I wanna go to school, and back that up



But I owe my school grands and yo they don't give a {fuck



So now it's time for go for delf I'm hittin the road



and stackin papers makin the name Akrobatik explode



So, don't be upset when I come to your town



And tear the walls down with sound cause we all gon' get down



I'm comin out the blocks to win (win win)



And drop gems that's refreshin like oxygen (gen)



So any obstacle or impediment



I treat it as a test to just how strong I represent self



I won't chase wealth but make moves that lead to it



I ain't tryin to reminisce on how I blew it, yo







[Hook]



And if the lyrics ain't tight, I lose



Don't blaze the set all night, I lose



Can't maintain and pay dues, I lose



And yo I ain't tryin to lose



I refuse to take a "L"..



Don't need to take a "L"..



Yo I can't take no "L"..



Yo yo, and I ain't tryin to lose "L"..

"What did I say to you? WHAT WERE MY WORDS TO YOU?



 Maybe it was your time to lose. You didn't think so." -> Al

 THAT'S MY JOB, THAT'S WHAT I DO!!" -> K.R.
