Syndicate Soldier Lyrics - Forever Everlasting - Everlast

Here we are, my friend 

Once again I'm inclined to rhyme one time 

So won't you lend me your ear? 'Cuz it's clear 

That this here has no pain 

If this song was the blues you'd be sheddin' a tear 

Like a baby, maybe, is should a held back 

Some of you look shocked, I guess you couldn't tell that 

I was here to drop knowledge, college is irrelevant 

My next move, to prove I'm smooth but still intelligent 

Expressin' the lesson with sheer precision 

First hear me out then make a decision 

On whether Everlast knows what time it is 

Does this song belong in the rhyming biz? 

Yes, I think so 'cuz I'm a pioneer 

Blazing a trail across a new frontier 

I go the length of growing strength as I get older 

'Cuz I'm a syndicate soldier 

All affections left behind, there's two more gears to grind 

Before I'm through, I'm sure that you will find 

A new respect for the rhymes I inject 

Through your eardrum, don't play dumb 

Just let me get to the point of my address 

Unless you feel you can't cope 

This song is on the table to make you dance, so 

Get up, and if you don't leave the premises 

I'm new to the crew so you can call me a genesis 

Born to perform and please a large crowd 

Of people at night and to my right is El-O 

A scandalous brother known for being treacherous 

A sucker made a move and that's the reason 

Fletcher was forced to put his head out 

He got too close to me, two by my side 

And that's that's how it's supposed to be 

These are my brothers, and they've been around me 

Since back in the days when the Syndicate found me 

They are the people deserving of credit 

As my name gained fame, they made sure I wouldn't let it 

Go to my head, instead I keep my feet down 

Unlike sucker's from the past I beat down 

The fatal mistake was to break on my confidence 

Overall, their fall was due to overconfidence 

As we go, the ego's all start acting up 

With statements of greatness, the rhymes aren't backing up 

Talking louder as they get bolder 

But there's no defense against a syndicate soldier 

As we reach the final stage 

Some think I'll engage in a conflict 

That's sick with violent rage 

I gain fame from my name, Everlast 

How long can this hype about a devil last? 

It started as fun but everyone took it serious 

Now it's seems, I'm seen as delirious 

But that's okay, I'll stay under rated 

And good things will come to all that have waited 

For the brother of a lighter skin to begin 

Droppin' knowledge with weight 'cuz you rate paper thin 

Science is one thing, knowledge is another 

What do I mean when I say that I'm a brother? 

Being a brother is a state of mind 

For all those who chose to remain unblind 

I grow in wisdom as I get older 

That's right I'm white and I'm a syndicate soldier
