Текст песни Gloves Off - John Anthony

Yeah, yeah
Ayo, I got you right where I want you
Now I don′t settle for defeat or no loss
Understand that our fuckin' beef is not squashed
I took it easy on you first, I was soft
But this time, I′m'a fuckin' take the gloves off
It would be a big mistake to start somethin′ that you cannot finish
I′ll end this in one punch
You gettin' pushed down, shoved, you fucked up
Cause this time, I′m'a fuckin′ take the gloves off
You mother fuckers are messin' just with the wrong emcee
Don′t come at me on your social or you all gon' see what I mean
Subliminal counts too, you clowns are out due for an ass kicking
Let's settle this now dude
I′m in a foul mood so how in the fuck can you go around
And talk about knockin′ me out, when we went to the same school
Plus you only lived a block from my house
But never said a mother fuckin' word when I was around
I′m not fighting man but God did give me like two hands
To fight back and strike at you fools, and whether or not I lose
I don't refuse landin′ on my ass a broke man, beggin' for food stamps
That will never happen, as long as I′m rapping
I'll never be called faggot, a chump or a has been
Cause that's when I just look to my passion
This rap game is givin′ me confidence to go out and start attacking
Now I don′t settle for defeat or no loss
Understand that our fuckin' beef is not squashed
I took it easy on you first, I was soft
But this time, I′m'a fuckin′ take the gloves off
It would be a big mistake to start somethin' that you cannot finish
I′ll end this in one punch
You gettin' pushed down, shoved, you fucked up
Cause this time, I'm′a fuckin′ take the gloves off
Cause if you tied in this, then here's the vibe you get
Negativity fly′s, feels like it is life or death when you would write your shit
People get violent over some mother fuckin' rhyme or a line I said
So forget beefin′ with haters, you fightin' now with the critics
Journalist from the papers won′t even give me a minute
Radio stations won't even bring me in for a visit
I swear these people don't even acknowledge my own existence
None of y′all ever listened to half the shit that I′ve written
So how can you sit and bitch over raps that I'm fuckin′ spitting
Mad that I'm talkin′ shit on these women, lookin' at me
Like that isn′t what a musician is suppose to do in the business
Well here's a little fact, I ain't kissin′ no fuckin′ ass to make it in this
So you can get rid of that dumb decision
I'm sick of being put in these positions, you bitches are fuckin′ with the wrong villain
It's fittin′ you becoming now the victim
Now I don't settle for defeat or no loss
Understand that our fuckin′ beef is not squashed
I took it easy on you first, I was soft
But this time, I'm'a fuckin′ take the gloves off
It would be a big mistake to start somethin′ that you cannot finish
I'll end this in one punch
You gettin′ pushed down, shoved, you fucked up
Cause this time, I'm′a fuckin' take the gloves off
They say I don′t know how to rhyme, I'm too plain and basic
All I do every time is complain when I would say shit
Just face it, this industry is far too gone
I guess if you ain't dumbin′ it down, then you doing it wrong
I′ll be damned if I just let this generation break me or change me
Bitch, I know the fuckin' in′s and the out's of this game
I′ve been bustin' my ass all my life
From the floors I scrubbed, to these fuckin′ walls I've wiped
I've been shovelin′ your shit, I can′t take it no more
I hate this, your the reason that I say and pour all of this anger
I place on this page, the force that I would use to this pen
Tends to break the board that I would write on
Punch in the clock, my time card is all I got
Hip hop's become my life job
There′s no quittin' on my watch, this life long obsession
Is puttin′ me right where I know I belong
Now I don't settle for defeat or no loss
Understand that our fuckin′ beef is not squashed
I took it easy on you first, I was soft
But this time, I'm'a fuckin′ take the gloves off
It would be a big mistake to start somethin′ that you cannot finish
I'll end this in one punch
You gettin′ pushed down, shoved, you fucked up
Cause this time, I'm′a fuckin' take the gloves off
