[00:00.000]Revelations - Masta Ace
[00:12.120]At times I don't know who I be
[00:14.060]And when I look in the mirror it's like I don't know who I see
[00:17.459]Am I even moving at all
[00:19.549]Cuz I swear I can't tell if my life is improving at all
[00:23.079]Every time I got a pen in my hand
[00:25.549]I forget every time before that one has been in my hand
[00:28.789]And I write for the moment get it tight how I want it
[00:31.739]Get the right lawyer on it cuz I might wanna own it
[00:34.579]I tussle and I fight I hustle and I write
[00:37.279]I struggle every night with every muscle in my mic
[00:40.169]I'm in this rap race trying to eat the cheese
[00:42.988]But y'all don't know my name like alicia keys
[00:45.908]My face ain't familiar neither is my music
[00:48.668]If sh*t don't soon change I be the one to lose it
[00:51.548]I drink a little liquor tryin' to heal my nerves
[00:54.228]Cuz y'all don't listen here and feel my words
[00:57.048]But something's wrong with y'all ain't nuttin' wrong with me
[01:00.018]And happy in my life is what I long to be
[01:02.818]And happy in my life is what I'm gonna be
[01:05.528]What you see in me is what I was born to be
[01:08.448]From the day that my moms first birthed a child
[01:11.078]She didn't need the world to make it worth the while
[01:13.948]So I don't need no magazine to reach the pinnacle
[01:16.918]Screw a review and you can eat the interview
[01:20.108]Cuz that's what y'all seem to tend to do
[01:22.788]Them cats you cover all seem identical
[01:25.408]Through it all I weave like the park was here
[01:28.138]And shine underground cuz it's darkest there
[01:31.568]Keep movin' along keep bringin' it on and keep singin' the song
[01:35.608]Try and listen
[01:37.148]Keep movin' along keep bringin' it on and keep singin' the song
[01:41.338]Try and listen
[01:42.808]Keep movin' along keep bringin' it on and keep singin' the song
[01:46.678]Try and listen
[01:48.378]Keep movin' along keep bringin' it on and keep singin' the song
[01:53.638]Y'all industry niggaz should be feeling ashamed
[01:56.157]Y'all like he ain't still in the game he's stealing the name
[01:59.207]Oh wait just a sec that's straight disrespect
[02:01.947]Take sh*t and get and don't be late with the check
[02:04.877]I'm on the underground trying to scrape and scrounge
[02:07.617]And sure it feel good to take a break and lounge
[02:10.397]All these ups and downs like a roller coaster
[02:13.277]Life is a b**ch I'm trying to hold her closer
[02:16.227]I'm killin' every ni**a in sight sight
[02:19.247]The bigger the dog the bigger the fight
[02:21.607]If you really say you know me then you'd figured I might
[02:24.817]Try to use my anger as a trigger to write
[02:27.337]I put it down simple on the paper or pad
[02:30.207]Try to take a stab at what is making me mad
[02:33.227]I jump on the track and I ride it through
[02:36.017]And do it for the people that are tried and true
[02:38.847]But y'all so fickle y'all love me today
[02:41.527]And tomorrow love another cat and shove me away
[02:44.337]But most ain't committed to do it how I did it
[02:47.387]In the way that I did it in the way that I spit it
[02:50.107]It's like my burst of truth and it might hurt the booth
[02:53.077]But first the proof it gave birth to youth
[02:55.957]Rap's like trying to take a piss in the wind
[02:58.437]I'm just glad to know that some of y'all are listenin' in
[03:01.776]Keep movin' along keep bringin' it on and keep singin' the song
[03:05.876]Try and listen
[03:07.586]Keep movin' along keep bringin' it on and keep singin' the song
[03:11.526]Try and listen
[03:13.156]Keep movin' along keep bringin' it on and keep singin' the song
[03:17.476]Try and listen
[03:18.836]Keep movin' along keep bringin' it on and keep singin' the song
