A one, two, a one, two
Yeah, lights, camera, action
A one, two, a one, two
Yeah, lights, camera, action
A one, two, a one, two
Yeah, lights, camera, action
A one, two, a one, two
Yeah, lights, camera, action
I'm hopping out the limo like
What's up with all these lights?
It's too bright, I ain't the type to wear shades at night
And all this attention from holding a mic
It doesn't add up; it don't feel right
All this glitter and gold, this ain't my life
Ya'll can have it, I mean the glamor and glitz
I'mma hit the nail on the head and hammer these hits
Throw it at the wall and make it stick, I won't miss (I won't miss)
Take the risk, rewards and benefits
Thoughts and ink blots, in the form of penmanship
From my lungs to the tongue out my lips
(It's a gift)
Between you and I, I ask myself why
Am I wasting my time writing rhymes?
Should be changing lives
Rap is elementary
Was never meant to be about the fashion (Fashion, fashion)
A one, two, a one, two
Yeah, lights, camera, action
A one, two, a one, two
Yeah, lights, camera, action
A one, two, a one, two
Yeah, lights, camera, action
A one, two, a one, two
Yeah, lights, camera, action
I didn't start rhyming for the sake of going global
I did it for the ears of my peers and kept it local
Never thought I'd get played on radiowaves
Get paid for live shows and be on the road for days
Rubbing elbows with legends (Welcome to the show)
Trying not to fan out and keep it under control
I confess, I know I'm truly blessed
The clock hasn't stopped and opportunities knock
John Ritter, sorry if I came off bitter
I'm not the one to start shitting in the kitty litter
I know my place and I feel God's grace
Don't claim to be religious, but I believe in faith
Won't see me poking, provoking these snakes
We ain't the only ones out here floating in space
The creator shapes and takes what he creates
The main attraction (The main attraction, the main attraction)
A one, two, a one, two
Yeah, lights, camera, action
A one, two, a one, two
Yeah, lights, camera, action
A one, two, a one, two
Yeah, lights, camera, action
A one, two, a one, two
Yeah, lights, camera, action
I love it, 'cause the yin and yang of it, we flame shit
It's the dope shit, when everybody ain't doing the same shit
I bang shit, old days
It was leather and Kangols and gold chains
The question I'm asking
What is culture? Style and style is fashion
Slick Rick, Kane, Dana Dane, Kwame
Now we got Kanye (Easy)
Tuxedos, dashikis, we still get freaky
Dance until I'm in a trance like Rafiki
I can't tell you how to do it (Do it, do it)
Like they can tell me how to do it (Do it, do it)
It is all about fashion and clothes, smashing hos
Cash and dough and about the flow
Don't stop, won't stop
Don't stop, won't stop
Get it 'til we stop, hot
A one, two, a one, two
Yeah, lights, camera, action
(Getting busy with my man Dizzy)
A one, two, a one, two
Yeah, lights, camera, action
(You know who I am)
(Getting busy with my man Dizzy)
A one, two, a one, two
Yeah, lights, camera, action
A one, two, a one, two
Yeah, lights, camera, action
