Phony As Ya Wanna Be Lyrics - Genius

When I hold a mic in my hand, it's devotion 

Then I began flowing in a smooth steady motion 

Cause i'mcontended to know that I've invented 

Poetry which has been highly complimented 

Thus how I rhyme is what I feel on stage 

And from a fraction of a thought I can write a whole page 

I'll just pull a notebook from off the shelf 

And like salt-n-pepa I express myself 

To make most of you know me, and some of you don't 

But when it comes to cold challenging, I bet none of you won't 

Arrange a battle, improve your style 

Against a brother with a totally different profile 

Most of you flake cold front ya flex 

And hesitate on rhymes that should've been memorex 

But you forgot I remember you're an amateur 

Mystery worshipper, nowi prefer 

Thati remind you or tease ya on who's the boss 

Cause you suffer amnesia, that's memory loss 

Well get this just as quiet as it's kept 

Mc's on the chart from teh start has slept 

Let's shake them,wake them, they should be woke 

For what? they take mc'ing for a practical joke 

You don't have what it takes to be an mc 

Ya just as phony as ya wanna be

You present yourself to be the quiet storm 

You're a sneaky littlesnake in a devilish form 

But as they say, yo, to each it's own 

And to each one who plays with a microphone 

Abbreviate microphone and m.i.c. 

Meaning what, myself, i, you see 

I invite those to battle me then they're through 

Bust it, i'mnot prejudiced you're invited too 

The rap convention or the mc show 

I have rhymes to block those who hit below 

The belt, that means biting a rhyme 

Yes, I'll wax you, tax you and plus save time 

Now who is known to uphold his own 

And words are heard like a strong baritone 

Freestyle techniques that's wild and bold 

That'll smile in your face and still come so cold 

That I'll freeze you to the point of non-defrost 

Now you're trapped in the land of the lost 

Should i, could i, would I lose 

When it's a selfish sore loser like you I choose 

To roll your big eyes and suck your buck teeth 

Because you're upset that you ever caused beef 

Yo homeboy, I never meant to tease 

But it's a slaughter, can someone help him please 

Feeling uncomfortable, then loosen your belt 

Once the genius gets heated up, suckers will melt 

Then after ya melt, ya start dripping like water 

Then you can say this was a goddamn slaughter 

You don't have what it takes to be an mc 

Ya just phony as ya wanna be 

Photos 

Ain't no rhymes like the one I got 

They put competitors in a trance, y'all 

Radio stations ran them a lot 

They made children play and dance y'all 

How dare ya mention you're an mc 

When the crowd disagrees on who claim to be 

Cause your battle piece are the rhymes you release 

And that only make the crowd boos increase 

Hey, may I say I'll stay a dj 

Mc who try to defeat me or portray 

One who claims he gain much respect 

But in a battle, straight up and down ya getting wrecked 

Cauise getting with me is definitely a slaughter 

Or diving in a pool head first without water 

So don't set yourself up to get brutalized 

That only happens when you're not energized 

Bit I'm so damn energized, I'm energetic 

That I can wreck a microphone 'til it's pathetic 

Oka, got it in your head, correct 

That I'm victoriouson any subect 

You disbelieve, then huh, call the title 

Then after one rhyme you'll be calling me your idol 

It's like..zap...another one on my jock strap 

Now you walk around praising my name 

Cause I'm slamming and I make you feel the pain 

You don't have what it takes to be an mc 

Ya just phony as ya wanna be
