paroles de chanson Set the Record Straight - Sway

A lot of rappers envy me

'Cause they see me on Channel U and MTV
Or read my Radar piece in NME
Let me see, I'm on my MPC
It's time to set the record straight
Hello, hello everybody, I'm Sway
The guy your friend talks about all day

And some of the things people say
About me are a bit

So allow me to set the record straight
First of all, I'm not signed
And I've told people so many times
Don't you guys read Rewind?
This is my demo, it's a one-off project with All City and Alliance

I heard that I might have been signed to the Beats
'Cause I was on Harvey Nix with the Mitchells and the Streets
Then I heard Semtex signed me to Universal
And all of a sudden I'm under the Dan Green piece
It's all twisted, people say all of the time
"Sway, do you think you've fallen into grime?"
Why did you record "F New York"?
I didn't, that track's all in your mind

Yeah
This how we do
I see eyes prying
But it's okay
I put myself in the spotlight
I'm gonna deal with it
Shout out to my cuzzions
And my nicos

Secondly, just 'cause some of my flows are comedic

That don't mean I'm an idiot
What I'm gonna do for you is
Put my lyrics in my inlay card so you can read it
I get so many comparisons, it's getting embarrassing
Some of the names that come up ain't even challenges
How can one man sound like everybody?
When my shh drops, some of you gonna be very sorry
Some dumb prick went and told some shoppers where I live
Because I'm getting big, he went and told them that I'm rich

So they ran up in my crib with guns
Asking dumb questions, "Where's the food?"
I said, "Um, the fridge"
No, I'm not a fake rapper, I'm just a sick one
Fake rappers talk about funds and big guns

But you're lying, and lying is a bit dumb

You said you hustle on the block, yeah? Which one?

I can see you watching me
I can give you what you like to see
Set the record straight all by myself
I can see the train of hate on this
'Cause I talk, God, God, God, God, God

Third, third, thirdly
None of these guys could ever verse me
I've been putting down these lyrics since nursery
I flip my style as part of my evolution
Brought down a flipping style that started a revolution
I can talk about anything, that's why I'm getting popular
But you keep talking about
That's why you know less
You keep talking about

You might get exactly what you want
And end up being homeless
Some of these rappers knew me from when I was Sway the Sappo
Never paid attention to me, now they wanna do collabos

Yeah, what type of money we talking?
'Cause I don't owe nobody nothing, raggo
I know, I know a lot of people that like fighting

But you won't catch me acting all rowdy
I can't even count the people around me
Let alone account for the people around me

I can see you watching me
I can give you what you like to see
Set the record straight all by myself
I can see the train of hate on this
'Cause I talk, God, God, God, God, God

Yeah, simple as this
Let me just set the record straight
This Sway's not signed thing is not no gimmick
I'm actually not signed to no label
This is my demo, it's coming out
The Cypher Alliance through All City Records
That's how it goes
Yeah, I'm not saying I don't ever wanna get signed
Yeah
Yeah
