Freestylin Under Oath Lyrics - Singles - Crooked I

Yo, Ice, this shit gon' be really um... 

It's a freestyle so it's gon' be 

It's gon' be choppy in parts, it's gon' be kinda sloppy 

But... it's gon' be from the heart so you know, we gon' capture this moment 

I used to sit in my house freestylin to The Chronic, 2001 album, the instrumental version 

I was in my den rehearsin', if you woulda told me then I'd fuck with Dr. Dre one day, I'd say you wildin' 

Wow, now I be sittin' with him in person, damn 

I grew up so poor that this shit was bogus 

I told you I wrote my raps on the back of an eviction notice 

My momma was in the kitchen blowin' doja, getting loaded 

Then she quoted "One of these days that shit you spittin' gon' get you noticed 

I know, you tired of this government cheese, just know I love you and your mother believes 

So many talented people with no self esteem underachieve 

So I really want my son to succeed" I love you ma 

I was sittin' in the Bentley when they hit me on the phone 

Joey and Royce, Patrón was all up in Royce's tone 

He said "Crooked you know what we gotta do, right? 

Voltron and form a crew, right?" 

Along with Brooklyn Ortiz, I couldn't be more pleased 

Cause after Hip Hop Weekly, I needed some doors opened and God was giving me some more keys 

An onslaught when I came in the door 

The best ever on the west, unless your last name is Shakur 

Remember that? That was a statement for sure 

These days, I don't say it no more 

Niggas know I'm iller than ebola 

This shit for the weed rollers 

Tell the haters "I'm rich, bitch and CC: Oprah"

Yeah, just a freestyle 

You know what I'm sayin like... 

For niggas who fuck with me 

Strictly for the niggas who fuck with me 

Not these suckas, these new bandwagon suckas 

I remember listening to Sway & Tech, The Wake Up Show 

If you was in Cali with crazy flow 

That was the only place to go to be heard on the radio 

But everybody would rip it, Biggie, Pac, Ras Kass, Eminem and Xzibit 

I used to sit and listen till it was finished 

A couple of months later, I'm up there in the flesh, I'm giving niggas the business 

Like I left em an LLC in my will 

Speaking of will, I willed it into existence, I built it using persistence 

That's when DJ Clark Kent told me, I'm one of the illest on the west, man, that memory never left, man 

Cause props from the legends, that's the shit that keep you going 

When you knowing you so hungry, if you lift up your clothing, your bones and your ribs showing 

And your crib got no electricity so a candle was in the dark glowing 

I start flowing, picture my words bouncing off the paint, stop flowing 

Turn this fountain off, I can't, nah I can't 

That's why I want the whole tortilla 

Me and the House Gang with Eminem in Seoul, Korea 

Man I waited for this my whole career 

50, 000 in the crowd, we on the Jumbotron, you hoes can see us 

You see us

Interviewer: And Slaughterhouse, a few words about that, hopefully you might give that away 

Eminem: Slaughterhouse, we just waiting to get the deal finished, um... but it's gonna be crazy, I think that record is gonna be crazy and that's gonna be from the making. That's where I might step back in and try to produce a little bit too 

Interviewer: So Shady Records is still a priority for you? Something you still really believe in? 

Eminem: Yeah, definitely. Shady Records, we're definitely trying to get it back up and running. You know what I mean, we're in the rebuilding process right now 

"The will to win, the desire to succeed 

The urge to reach your full potential, these are the keys 

To unlock the door to your personal excellence" 

That's a quote from Confucius, I've been using it ever since 

Music is heaven sent, I knew it even when I couldn't pay a producer 7 cent 

Or use it to pay my rent 

Adversity, that could break ya, currency that can change ya 

But these days my rhyme pays, I'm stacking major 

The money is a gift, but still I must remain outside of the box with all this rapping paper 

Later...
