You Played Yourself
(专辑: Strictly Leakage - 2007)
What's up? My name is Sean, nice to meet ya So what brings you backstage in this theatre? Oh you're in the
crew that plays first I
shoulda noticed all four of y'all of wore the
same shirts I
bet you got a
demo of your work right (That's what's up) Can you leave it with my merch guy? Well word up, good luck tonight And don't forget to drink water, and don't cup that mic, huh Do me a
favour and stay away from Ant's beer No you can't bring your fans back here Nah I'm straight, you can keep your drugs in fact Keep em in the
alley out back behind the
club And drop the
attitude Why you acting like that little sticky pass is some kinda right of passage dude Keep rapping till you get discovered But better believe it's last time we ever see each other Cause you played yourself Uh yeah, of course I
remember you man, uh, how you been man? How you doin man? You played yourself They told me that you tried to pick a
fight with your own DJ You played yourself Nah I
didn't see your set man, I
was, I
was sleeping on the
bus You played yourself Uh yeah, go talk to that guy, him, he'll give you some drink tickets, word New York, at the
Bowery getting down With Grayskul, P.O.S. and Fillmore Brown My first time touring with a
live band Trynna hide all the
fear behind the
mic stand I
just want to move around and keep it versatile But tonight some kid took it personal I
stopped my set, yo what you yellin bout? With your middle up calling me sell out Then security rushed him like a
gang fight Wait, don't kick him out, man it ain't right But they wasn't listening to Slug I'm just an artist on the
stage, they don't really give a
fuck So I
finished up my set then Ran out the
front door to see if I
could catch him And there he was, mad and drunk So I
gave him his money and sent him off with a
hug Man you played yourself Man you can barely stand up, you trynna call me names, punk You played yourself I
understand, I
understand dude, I
was just like you when I
was 15 years old You played yourself Talking about, you ain't The
Roots, you ain't The
Roots, why you got a
band man? You played yourself Do me a
favour, throw away my CDs, I
don't want you stupid fans Girl please, don't treat me like you treat a
toy You wouldn't look twice if I
was the
pizza boy (nope) You ain't got to flash me your ass and tits I'd rather fantasise that you're a
rap advocate Look around, you see all these women? They came for the
music, you came for the
scenesterism The
validating game is degrading Got me cornered at the
bar to boost your ratings I'm getting too old for the
trap Go wiggle that cleavage at the
opening act, huh Plus you smell like a
bucket of vodka I
would never put my meat sauce up in that pasta The
shows over, so why you waiting by the
bus Like I'm supposed to be impressed with the
basics You don't believe that I
don't want to see you naked But I'm not hanging out, take care and stay safe kid You played yourself Yeah actually I
have heard somebody say that to me before You played yourself You realise I
can clearly see your clitoris through your jeans You played yourself Look you are closer to my son's age than, than you are to mine You played yourself Look, look, the
li, the
living legends are right there, right over there, go over there!
