Been This Way Lyrics - The Crusader - Scribe

Every MC, in this industry, wants one thing 

To be the best, in the top of their game 

You want it? Come and get me! 

[CHORUS] 

Do what you gotta do - come and get me 

I came from the struggle; I'm bringing my pain with me 

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray (yo) 

I been this way since back in the day YUP 

Do what you gotta do - come and get me 

I came from the struggle; I'm bringing my pain with me 

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray (yo) 

I been this way since back in the day 

Yo Shan, lets take 'em 

You couldn't rock a joint with a mic and a pound of weed 

You couldn't get a point across with a pen and a key a pee 

You couldn't get high as me with two tabs of LSD 

Cool as a cucumber with two sticks of celery 

Spit like watermelon pips from your juba lips 

Hands mo callus can see excel from the mics I rip 

My rhyme patterns supreme mm the baddest 

Fresh - woo - my flows the fattest 

Yeah and I gotta do this for those that never had it 

But climbed the ladder only to watch all their dreams shatter 

They doubled my pain; I tripled my skills in hip-hop 

Quadrupled my strength, quintupled my props - yo 

I got it locked yo, album ready to drop yo 

And you can hit me with everything that you got yo 

But I will not fall or trip over obstacles 

Its logical I'm gonna run hip hop into the cortical 

[CHORUS] 

Do what you gotta do - come and get me 

I came from the struggle; I'm bringing my pain with me 

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray (yo) 

I been this way since back in the day YUP 

Do what you gotta do - come and get me 

I came from the struggle; I'm bringing my pain with me 

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray (yo) 

I been this way since back in the day 

First two I stepped up and I made moves 

I stay true and like flows I paid dues 

And came thru sliceing biters like Blade two 

Cos they knew I came to take out fake crews 

And take YOU 

If this is what it comes down to 

Trying to break thru and go triple platinum like Che Fu (true) 

Still I'm tighter then the Al Qaeda with corn braids 

Lines heavy like if you wake the whole with Dawn Raid 

F*ck them and let them see I'm all yeah 

I went to the true school like DJ Sir Vere 

So who the, who the f*ck said that Scribe was in deep 

Yo I'm deep like Mareko's voice tone when he speaks 

And I'm ill like Uneepa with skills to pay the bills this year 

And MCs is getting cut like One Tree Hill, for real 

I'm still the baddest MC to grab a pad and a pen 

Go tell a friend Scribe is at it again. Yeah 

[CHORUS] 

Do what you gotta do - come and get me 

I came from the struggle; I'm bringing my pain with me 

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray (yo) 

I been this way since back in the day YUP 

Do what you gotta do - come and get me 

I came from the struggle; I'm bringing my pain with me 

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray (yo) 

I been this way since ... 

I complete the beat like the snare come crisp and clear 

I'm here to test MCs like it's their 5th form year 

We 'bout to find out who is and who isn't prepared 

About to make your rears disappear into thin air 

Ask DJ Shan; yo I've been up in here 

You'd better get it crystal clear your skill just doesn't compare 

They're asking who's the best in the underground 

No question the best is on the f*cken mic right now! 

[CHORUS] 

Do what you gotta do - come and get me 

I came from the struggle; I'm bringing my pain with me 

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray (yo) 

I been this way since back in the day YUP 

Do what you gotta do - come and get me 

I came from the struggle; I'm bringing my pain with me 

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray (yo) 

I been this way since back in the day 

Yeah now come and get me, I'm waiting 

I'll still be here ... when you're ready
