Now a lot of cats look at me to bring it back
But I'm moving forward and I'm more than just a single track
And I ain't a little dance to go with it
They say it ain't what it used to be, no kidding
I ain't tryin to chart if it means sacrificing the art
See I knew this would happen right from the start
So I'm writing, right from my heart
See I am not an actor, I'm writing the parts
I am the light in the dark
A rebel for the people taking back what's rightfully ours
You led me to believe that I had nothing left at all
So I am now deaf to y'all
And I don't even know how yall got left in charge
The game's been transformed by decepticons
But you know what? give em my best regards
I'ma get this to the people no extra charge

CHORUS:
I can't hear you, whatcha say now
Why don't you just, put the mic down
If you ain't got it, then you won't get it
But wait a minute, wait a minute now
Oh you thought you was sayin something?
Uh-uh dawg you ain't sayin nothing
Uh-uh I ain't hearin any substance
Uh-uh kid you ain't sayin nothing

I let em know what I ride for
Anything other than that I ain't got time for
Cause this is what I'm still alive for
This is real this is something I would die for
I talk about it so I gotta be about it
I can't see without it when I'm penning a verse
To make it matter and still finish below budget
If this ain't the real thing, yo I don't know what is
It's easy, just hit em with the slow stutter
I, I, I and instantly the flows butter
Get a mil off of that well no wonder
Leave it to hip hop, there is no other
And it's the same cats who are tired
Of hearing the same thing that wanna bring it back
Now think about that, but they can all keep complaining
While I keep breaking ground and usher a new game in

CHORUS:
I can't hear you, whatcha say now
Why don't you just, put the mic down
If you ain't got it, then you won't get it
But wait a minute, wait a minute now
Oh you thought you was sayin something?
Uh-uh dawg you ain't sayin nothing
Uh-uh I ain't hearin any substance
Uh-uh kid you ain't sayin nothing
