Song Lyrics

Is it East and West? I ask you, or is it who's the best?
Well I don't know what is all this stress
Ain't gotta beat the money man in a contest
And so I think 'em

Everybody want the same thing don't they
Everybody want to be number one
Everybody want the same thing don't they
Rudebwoy you have to pay for the part
Everybody want the same thing don't they
Everybody want to be number one
Everybody want the same thing don't they
Rudebwoy you have to pay for the part

We in this modern day Babylon with empty palms
I think about my last dollar while you hollar for these rap songs
I'm in my Eden when I rap about what I believe in
No deceivin' Illuminati got that ass thinkin'
Yo should I even rap or will I ever blow
Or should I take the loot I got and call a cab and go
'Cause now-a-days you can't smile up in your video
I'm livin' off sour milk and cold cereal
My moms stated that life is what you make it
Hold everyday sacred I'm filled with such hatred
'Cause a lot of niggas in the east don't represent
And out west I saw a few that was fraudulent
Hesitant to give a man a pound and step
'Cause when your songs don't bump
They look through that ass like fish net
With no respect how could you look up in the mirror
The world is lookin' shady and the futures no clearer

Everybody want the same thing don't they
Everybody want to be number one
Everybody want the same thing don't they
Rudebwoy you have to pay for the part
Everybody want the same thing don't they
Everybody want to be number one
Everybody want the same thing don't they
Rudebwoy you have to pay for the part

Now as dem rumors dem spreadin' I want a single now-a-day
Everybody want to the king but no man want to work
Fight di system, dem have to multiply, now fi hands up in dem
Now I say reap is what you sow, deal is what you detonate
But now your own broda would choke you for your wealth
'Member mi tell you don't make yuh head swell
I'm biggin' up mi bredgin and from cage they all well

Everybody want the same thing don't they
Everybody want to be number one
Everybody want the same thing don't they
Rudebwoy you have to pay for the part
Everybody want the same thing don't they
Everybody want to be number one
Everybody want the same thing don't they
Rudebwoy you have to pay for the part

It's time to invent the future 'cause there ain't nobody else
Who can make it happen right so make it happen for yourself
Instead of stressin' everything the next man got
And trying to blow up the next mans' spot
And always actin' like you got a whole lot
When the fact is you're trying to be something you're not
Yo if you don't cut it out you're gone be forgot
'Cause the madness got to stop
See life is kinda stressful, especially when you tryna be sucessful
So many twist and turns it's like you walkin' on a pretzel
Yet and still I swear to build by any means
Mr. Man and Non Ether represent for Elohim
And you don't stop

Everybody want the same thing don't they
Everybody want to be number one
Everybody want the same thing don't they
Rudebwoy you have to pay for the part
Everybody want the same thing don't they
Everybody want to be number one
Everybody want the same thing don't they
Rudebwoy you have to pay for the part

Is it East and West? I ask you, or is it who's the best?
Well I don't know what is all this stress
Ain't gotta beat the money man in a contest
Mi sing again

Is it East and West? I ask you, or is it who's the best?
Well I don't know what is all this stress
Ain't gotta beat the money man in a contest
So den
