Songtexte Road to Power - Staalin

As I tear another page up out my notebook
The frustration setting in while trying to write a dope hook
Been hotter than when coke cook
But nowadays you only hot
As ya last hit
Then that's it
I'm lucky if I draw looks
I draw like Dewar and ya man's book
Then I ball like Demar crossing Westbrook
S across my Chess look
Man of Steel
Best rapper Pawn the field
No Rook
King that bless ya Queen like a Bishop at Knight in your nook
They said the game changed
It hasn't
This the 4th Quarter
Niggas turning Loonie smoking Dimes
While Nickels chalk corners
And now we paying out of pocket and the money's shorter
Got stealers flushing out the pockets like they Joey Porter
Some say my flow is a mixture of blood and holy water
Son so many niggas it's crazy Cyan's my only daughter
Mr. Staines is the only father I've ever known (KNOWN)
My real father
Is only part of my flesh and bone (BONE)
Depressing part is
I thought he was never happy home (HOME)
He more at home during happy hour they called him Norm (NORM)
Cheers - raise a cup with beer
For the couple here (YEA)
That's me and Rap
We've been fucking strapped
For a couple years
But now I hit it bare back
Let go my fucking fears
So people could rewind the play back
Like Teddy Ruxpin gears
Been stuck with peers
That appear to look up
To puppeteers
But I ain't down with that
Kept it Charlie Chap for my whole career
Now I'm breaking the silence
Moment of violence
I been inviting these pirates
To try and attack the island
Where I am
And I alone
They been lying on microphones
For so long
They got wires grown
Out they ass like appliance homes
The fire storm
Best retire like Firestone
Sun on fire like I'm in orbit
These rappers done planet wrong
Fact that my star has grown
It ain't often a star is born
I just toss em in coffins
Lock em till all of them passes on
Buried in grassy lawns
Doesn't matter who's side is greener
No matter who's side I'm on
Know I'm strong as a rhino's femur
Rapper's claiming they next
But they bout as hot as a fever
So now I'm claiming they necks
Like dependants by tax receivers
Depend on royalty cheques
'Cus I'm royalty
You ain't loyal as me
Trying to dip ya toes in my waters nigga you oil to me
These niggas singing ballads and tossing salads that's oil free
That's why I talk slick
And my team thick
Like a lawyers fee
I'm Mattlock
Got goons with they things cocked
That'll pop 'em in broad day
Till it wake 'em in Bangkok
But I digress
You can look in my iris
There's nothing the same about us
Just stick to ya Pyrex
Stick to ya tight jeans
Ya mumbling dialects
Jungle run by a lioness
Had to rumble for my respect
If this is a challenge to restore balance
Then I accept
'Cus I am Staalin
I scale mountains with giant steps
On the road to power

I took a road that many wouldn't travel
And then I burned the bridges just in case I got unravelled
And I tried to go back - but there ain't no go back
That's why they sent me out here
Everybody knows that
They say the road to power's long and there is no map
The only way to carry on's to follow those tracks
Other soldiers left back - whole globe on my back
That's why they sent me out here
Everybody knows that
