[al:Underground V4.0]
[00:04.65]I'm standing in the middle of it
[00:06.14]Middle of it, middle of it
[00:08.28]
[00:09.43]Yo, you'll better wake up; you think we don't see you'll drifting?
[00:12.32]Sleeping on the job and forgetting your position? (position)
[00:14.54]Sit straight and listen; what you are missing
[00:16.75]I cook up a batch, hot straight out the kitchen
[00:19.46]No indecision, I spit right
[00:21.45]Heavy as a fist fight
[00:22.81]No gloves and no masks
[00:23.93]No pain and no slack
[00:25.03]No way to look back
[00:26.25]Nobody to say I can't make my own path
[00:28.80]Cause the way that you'll act, I wanna break something
[00:31.24]Comin' at me like the pain I feel means nothing
[00:33.73]Comin' from a place where you can't relate
[00:35.85]Where every word from your face comes across as fake
[00:38.33]And I can hardly take the way that you'll treat us
[00:40.74]Sending this out to anyone who won't believe us
[00:43.20]Spelling it out so you'll know the deal
[00:45.47]And if you can't feel it, maybe you can't feel
[00:47.75]
[00:47.92]I'm standing in the middle of it
[00:49.52]Middle of it
[00:50.10]Middle of it
[00:50.72]Man, who are you?
[00:52.80]I'm standing in the middle of it
[00:54.17]Middle of it
[00:54.82]Middle of it
[00:55.39]What are you saying?
[00:57.63]I'm standing in the middle of it
[00:58.97]Middle of it
[00:59.62]Middle of it
[01:00.15]What are you writing?
[01:02.45]I'm standing in the middle of it
[01:03.82]Middle of it
[01:04.34]Middle of it
[01:04.89]Man, who are you?
[01:06.77]
[01:07.05]Tell 'em, Motion
[01:08.43]Eat your words
[01:09.13]Say what you used to say and act how you used to act
[01:10.68]Every time you heard my occupation was a rap attack (rap attack)
[01:13.62]My conversation's stacked, I switch my defense on you
[01:15.98]Every time you want to get deep you'll see my knuckle package
[01:18.40]Born to die, ferocious emcee make you go back and write your rhymes
[01:21.90]My style chokes up like a little league baseball player
[01:24.13]It moves, I'm strangling as I'm swinging as main mangler
[01:26.61]I wanna dee-four, poach you as your seafood is cee-four
[01:29.04]I'm gonna rap and you still knee-high
[01:31.45]You'll wanna train with me, guy?
[01:33.28]Man, it's destructive
[01:34.35]Man, it's like jabs from boxing champ Lennox
[01:36.48]Perfect for your head, I'll fit it like New Era hats
[01:38.79]That top off suits, B-boy etiquette
[01:40.35]Express myself with my hang-side
[01:43.00]Then I extend one finger, the middle fucking
[01:45.53]
[01:45.71]I'm standing in the middle of it
[01:47.18]Middle of it
[01:47.65]Middle of it
[01:48.19]Man, who are you?
[01:50.52]I'm standing in the middle of it
[01:51.80]Middle of it
[01:52.32]Middle of it
[01:52.92]What are you sayin?
[01:55.31]I'm standing in the middle of it
[01:56.68]Middle of it
[01:57.22]Middle of it
[01:57.77]What are you writin?
[02:00.12]I'm standing in the middle of it
[02:01.50]Middle of it
[02:02.00]Middle of it
[02:02.57]Man, who are you?
[02:04.62]
[02:04.78]Yo, Motion (yeah?)
[02:05.83]Sometimes I feel it's like nothing that I ever do is ever good enough (for real)
[02:09.63]Like I should stop and go back to L.A.
[02:11.66]Back away where I know I won't be seen
[02:14.63]And nobody's gonna critique the music that I make
[02:16.81]And mistake me for some fucking kid with a backpack
[02:19.44]Rapping on a track just to make a buck
[02:21.74]For a mix-tape that sucks
[02:23.20]And dee-jays that don't get it
[02:24.49]But I been down that road and I know
[02:26.41]People don't wanna go where I might go
[02:29.28]Don't wanna know what it's like
[02:31.31]To step outside your zone with a mike
[02:32.65]Just controlling the hype
[02:34.01]And if we need to take shots from them
[02:35.93]And be stopped by them just to make these ends
[02:38.47]Then so be it, I will not hold my breath
[02:40.88]I'm gonna spit 'til I got none left
[02:42.02]Motion, where you at?
[02:43.40]
[02:43.54]I'm standing in the middle of it

[02:53.03]I'm standing in the middle of it
[02:54.34]Middle of it
[02:54.82]Middle of it
[02:55.40]What are you writin?
[02:57.81]I'm standing in the middle of it
