I get it
Maybe I'm not big
Cuz I don't blog or Twitter
Dawg I'm bitter
I didn't happen on the flop
But I'll win it on the river
Longest winter got me seasoned
Now I'm a non-beginner
Meanin' not yet a veteran but nevertheless
Pick the drug or the rapper man
I'm better than meth
Dope as E though or
Ether the drug or the Jay diss
I would say dope as reefer
But that would be too basic
And overplayed
Overslaved won't complain though
The games been good to a young'un outta London
So I'm grateful
Not just for the fundin' or for the fans
But for the chance to say something
It wasn't in the plans at first
It was sad days halfway to graduation
Cap and black cape making job applications
I hate the catch phrase "Canadian rap sensation"
Shad K don't have chains
Big as the Appalachians
But since the label put me out
Like ash trays to smoke cats
I have gained some accolades and admiration
It's grown since then
Though that second album man was so old-school
Folks called it old Princeton
I'm still penny pinchin it was so fine
My bills gonna hold still as pig skin
When its field goal time now
That being said it's still 09
And i still got a lot of credit
I still owe 9
But they charge no interest
So I pay no interest
Meaning I pay no mind
If there ain't no fine I'm fine
I hope I ain't boring y'all rappin bout rap
But the only thing I love
More then rappin is nappin
And I know nobody want to
Hear me rap about that
You want the underdog spazzin on the track
I get it
Well my name ain't Lil' Wayne Gretzky
But y'all know better than to check me
In the game
My whole record's like a technique
Telin' referees to peak
At the press seats a sec please
Drop Your Gloves OJ
I knock you into next week
Make you get teeth replaced
Can't use plates what you get to eat
Gives new meaning to tube steak
Like watching you breast feed doomsday
Move on these squares like a chesspiece
I'm deadly
Even if your Supernatural
I'm Craig G
Jesse James meets Jet Li
Killing these fakes at break neck speed
I make your head steam like a pet peeve
Get your neck squeezed till the breath leaves
Got the finesse and the prestige
And more Mac than 10 tech geeks dissing XP
Best in the league of vets
Like ex-marines highest pedigree
When i get the beat its hereditary
Genetic freak poetically
One-ten degree Memphis heat spittin steadily
Medically decapitate this rapper's face
Still won't get a head of me
I'm the best I'll ever be
The cats out the bag the new Shad's out
Now they spell it S H A D D
The way i spaz out
I don't bad mouth
But I'll quickly put down the cat
If he bit me like
Roy's boy Siegfried
Welcome to the big leagues
Where they pitch heat
Still on a hit streak
My rappin's like battin 360
Hey Griffey slow down do something less cerebral
I ain't big enough yet
I gotta keep impressin people
I get it guess its a lesser evil
Weapons lethal as a Desert Eagle
Now my lethal weapon one
You don't get a sequel
I Get it
No eviction notice still
I'm homeless on a poets mission
Not that I'm a fiend stealing bass like Otis Nixon
Livin' on the street
Now i'm livin' on the road consistent
Making fans multiply
Like a coefficient
Record sales im making low comission
But the visions mine
They don't change my record
Like pitchin' a no decision
Guitar playing emcee
Yea i'm known for spittin'
While i'm tappin on my fender
Like cars in a slow collision
The precision of my flows
In terms of tone addiction
Is akin to that of the old masters
Of prose and fiction
So many sold their souls
My soul ambitions
To hold solace so calm
And bright as a solar system
I'm from a soul tradition
Heads think I'm going to prison
Cause I'm talking bout this rap sheet
With the most conviction
The most commitment
No other pro is so proficient
The coldest spittin'
Rakim north pole edition
