Blotted Out The Background - Lyrics
You want it?
Come get it!
Come get it from me
You want me?
Come get me
Try to catch up to me
Blowin' dust
Blowin' up
Growin' faster than you
Stow-away
Go away
Go away from my wake
You're holding me up
You're slowin' me down
I'm prepping for my closeup
but you blotted out the background
Are you doing this
to see if I can
stare in the abyss
of your life man
'Cause I'm the wiz
It'll take more than
your attempts to diss me
to bring me down
to shut me up
to push me away
I give freely
You wanna kill the
talent in me
You destroy
and I improve
I'm toying wit'choo
Your words don't sting
I still can sing
My one liners zing
You're holding me up
You're slowin' me down
I'm prepping for my closeup
but you blotted out the background
You're holding me up
You're slowin' me down
I'm prepping for my closeup
but you blotted out the background
Are you doing this
to see if I can
stare in the abyss
of your life man
'Cause I'm the wiz
It'll take more than
your attempts to diss me
I'm tired of your crap
I'll double-track to recap,
while you napped I rapped to handclaps
and mapped out what the haps was.
While you ordered frappe lattes
I slapped you silly.
Mind the gap, Imma lap you,
no time for your crap
You're holding me up
You're slowin' me down
I'm prepping for my closeup
but you blotted out the background
You're holding me up
You're slowing me down
