Everything isn't always as it seems
At your verbal battles
I play the shadows
even though I'm the creator of the tales you tattle
No one will ever know,
that not only do you not write -what you recite, but also
that you don't even possess your own flow
As long as you and I know what's real
I could care less about how you make others feel
even though my name isn't associated with your record deal
I still get half of that mill'
In your phone
you have me listed under unknown
in mine I have you listed as my rap clone
I'm just fine with our arrangement
because from where I sit
I'm 95% responsible for that platinum plus hit
Take me out of the equation
and there goes your power of persuasion
doing it your way is a thought you think during that heavy drinking occasion
I'm that safe bet
and though we have never officially met
connecting with me is a decision you'll never grow to regret
I brought about clarity
turned hope into prosperity
You were lost but found
the second you decided to pick me up, and the moment you put the pen down
I've studied this trade
learned from the missteps that were made
and for my effort, I received more than just a passing grade
I graduated best in my class
this is how you can go from last to first so fast
your bright future is due to my dark past
And there's never a need to feel some type of way
because there's a hundred more just like you that pay me to write what they say
I love playing with words, convincing them that they mean so much more than they were made to believe.-Henery X (long).
