Deny - Thumb

Iґve gotta say Iґm not a rapper to the bone, you know, I wasnґt born in L.A.

, New York or so

And my town couldnґt be more

Quiet you see, in my hood noone ever pulled a gun on me!

But when I grab the

microphone I

Feel the need in me to

Release everything thatґs inside of me.

Iґve gotta get it out, donґt wanna wait

and see, cause

What Iґm dealing with hurts

Emotionally.

I never spraid a wall or a train you know.

I never got into

graffiti, man, I donґt

Know, I never spun on my head,

Breakdance till your dead, I only listen to the music, cause thatґs where itґs

at.

Donґt wanna

Fall for no gimmick of the

Industry, like all the funky clothes, Iґm not a wannabe.

I do what I like if it

feels right to me,

Itґs only me, my voice and my

Mic, you see?!

Why would I try to deny where Iґm coming from?

Not everytime I hear a beat I gotta move, my man, Iґm not a party guy who needs

to shake

His thang.

Itґs all about the

Lyrics and the rhymes, you know, about the song itself and not the video.

Donґt wanna see

The tits, the cars make the hits,

Donґt need to see a million people jump up in a pit and shout hip hop hurray —

no way —

Thereґs only one way to go for me

And thatґs my way !

My way can only be where iґm coming from, i need to see

whatґs up

Around me and put it in a song.

My songs are a cure, gotta keep em all pure, donґt wanna have to adapt to the

rules for sure.

So this one goes out to all of

The wannabes, the ones who are trying to be what they cannot be.

Just do what you like if it

Feels right to you — Itґs only

You, your voice and your mic, you fool !

Why would you try to deny where youґre coming from?
