Lavell Jones – My Philosophy lyrics

[Verse:]
Sit there, carefully, observe while I give you this rap, that dude that really got
That that, that, ain’t really all that, that’s, outside, not inner even though he’s standing there like he’s dead center he could be dead deep down in his center and this really appeals to y’all, black, niggas
Black niggas that want the riches, money hoes, clothes and cars but it really ain’t that bizarre but he really will not get that far
Cause all he doing is standing, getting buzzed at the bar
And the white boy that wants to be a superstar and that girl that wants to eat that caviar, so really this appeals to all of y’all
All of y’all that want the fame and you do anything just to chase it, want the world but you won’t change it, take a shot of henny and then you chase it, down, into your belly, were you’re really not hungry for anything
But I leave no evidence, Lavell Jones destroys everything, like everything!

[Hook:]
Do you copy me?
Do you probably, wanna live in a world full of mediocrity
I’m tryna’ be smart like Socrates, so outta this world, astronomy, so astonishing, my philosophy, is all about conquering, so so
Do you copy me?
Do you probably, wanna live in a world full of mediocrity
I’m tryna’ be smart like Socrates, so outta this world, astronomy, so astonishing, my philosophy, is all about conquering, so so

[Verse 2:]
Sit there, without the drive you won’t get there, tryna’ master this craft for like 6 years, man I got so much drive I’m in 6th gear, since em, 6th grade I’ve been up late studying hard like what to say that’s why it pissin’ me off, nowadays with all that bs that the radio play like, drop it to the floor lil mama, or shake that thing a bit harder, or throw that money you a baller, right? Wrong, I don’t know what the F they on
But they be lying to you and they be lying to me, don’t believe everything that you see on tv that’s just Walt Disney with abc
Stupid nigga learn some history, pay attention it ain’t a mystery
I swear to God it gets to me but, I’m yelling out victory yeah, I’m yelling out victory,
We yelling out victory like are. A. Are. E. And if you feel me, now scream and I am only 20 wanna change the world like Jimi Hendrix, hit them where it hurts like in the appendix don’t that sound so splendid, but you probably do not get it, oh well
And shout out to my nigga Aaron doing time up in jail man I hope he’s well as a whale in the bottom of a well, straight chillin’

[Hook:]

[Interlude]
Sit there, observe while I give you this rap, that dude that really got, that, that, that ain’t really all that, that’s…
Without the drive you won’t get there, tryna’ master this craft for like 6 years, man I got so much drive I’m in 6th gear…

[Verse 3:]
Cut em’ down to size, whoever this applies to, people live your lives but open your eyes it’s for, you
Or the betterment of us, do what you must, no need to rush but you cannot trust what everybody will, do
Cold world now ain’t it, ain’t that picture that they painted, hard when you can’t really relate to it, ain’t that true?
Staring in the mirror wondering is that you, Man I hope you find you, so you could all

[Hook:]
Copy me and we could probably wouldn’t live in a world full of mediocrity
And we could all be smart like Socrates
We’d be outta this world like astronomy, it’d be astonishing
And our philosophy would all be about that conquering so, so
Do you copy me?
Do you probably, wanna live in a world full of mediocrity I’m tryna’ be smart like Socrates, so outta this world, astronomy, so astonishing, my philosophy, is all about conquering, so so.
