Drop
J Dilla Lyrics

Let me freak the funk,
Allow me to display my musical talent.

Obsolete is the punk that talk more junk than Sanford sells
The person who talks too much lies and nonsense is outdated and irrelevant.

I jet propel at a rate that complice their mental state
I move quickly and cause confusion in their minds.

As I invade their masquerade
As I expose their fake persona.

They couldn't fade with a clipper blade
They cannot compete or withstand any opposition.

10 years in the trade is not enough, you can't cut it
Even after ten years, they do not have what it takes to succeed.

I let you take a swing, and you bunted
I gave you a chance, but you failed miserably.

For an easy out, I leave mc's with doubt
With little effort, I make other rappers question their skills.

Of exceeding, my name is Bottie Brown and I'm proceeding, leading,
I am superior, my name is Bottie Brown and I am continuing to excel, leading the way.

They try to follow but they're shallow and hollow
Others try to imitate me, but they lack depth and substance.

I can see right through them like an empty 40 bottle, of O.E.
I can easily see their true intentions and motives, like a transparent bottle of beer.

They have no key, or no clue
They lack knowledge and understanding in this game.

To the game at all, now they washed up
They never really belonged here, now they are no longer relevant.

Hung out to dry
Left alone with nowhere to go.

Standing looking stupid, wondering why
Feeling foolish and confused, questioning their own actions.

(why man?)
(inquiring why this has happened)

It was the fame, that they tried to get
Their desire for fame led them astray.

Now they walking around talking about represent
Now they try to show off in order to regain some respect.

And keep it real, but I got to appeal
While they try to be honest and genuine, I have to stay attractive and engaging to maintain my success.

Cause they existing in a fantasy when holding the steel
Their reality is distorted when they have weapons, which is dangerous and delusional.

Rock a bye baby,
A phrase used to calm down someone who is anxious or upset.

Listen to my heart pumping to a fine ravine
Hear the rhythm of my heart beating in a steady and smooth manner.

Of all things it's a vain of a shrine
Most importantly, it is the essence of something sacred.

All missions impossible are possible, cause I'm
I can achieve anything, even the most difficult tasks.

Heading for a new sector 365 days from now, I'll
In a year's time, I will be exploring a new direction.

Wipe the sweat from my brow
Relieve my anxiety and exhaustion from working hard.

And each and every true will stick, or fall from the sky of my cloud nine
Those who are loyal will remain with me, and those who are not will fade away.

From homies all the way to chics, no matter how fine
From my friends to even attractive women, I will not let anyone distract me from my goals.

Controlling is a swollen way to wreck a proud mind
Trying to control everything can lead to an inflated ego, which can be detrimental.

You hold it in your hands and watch a man start crying
You have power over someone and watch them suffer emotionally.

Tear after tear in the puppet man's hands
You are manipulating someone and causing them to be emotionally vulnerable.

Every time you take a stance you do the puppet man's dance
Every time you make a decision, you are still following someone else's orders.

And the worlds at a stand-still
The world is stagnant and unchanging.

Deep in broken mansville, trapped in the moat with an anvil, still
People are stuck in a state of poverty and difficulty, with obstacles they cannot overcome.

Killing yourself, and dogging ya health
Harming yourself and neglecting your well-being.

You ain't amphibious, so grab a hold of yourself
You cannot adapt to every situation, so you need to take control of your own life.

Shit is-shit is ill, my flow still will spill
My music is amazing and my talent is evident.

Toxic slick to shock you sick like electrocute
My words are so powerful, they can incapacitate you.

When I execute, acutely over the rhythm
When I perform, I do it with skill and precision.

On those that pollute, extra dosages is what I gotta give em
I have to counteract those who are damaging and negative with even more strength.

Got em mad and trembling
I have made them angry and fearful.

Cause I been up in my lad assembling
I have been working hard to create something great.

Missiles, to bomb the enemy
The weapons I have created will destroy my opponents.

Because they envy me, and the making of my mad currency
They are jealous of my success and wealth.

Currently I think we're in a state of an emergency
Right now, I believe we are in a crisis.

Cause niggas done sold their souls, and now their souls is hollow
People have given up their morals and values, and are now empty inside.

And I think they can't follow
I do not believe they have the ability to change their ways.

They can't swallow, the truth because it hurts
They cannot accept the reality of the situation because it is painful.

This is how I put it down, this is my earth, my turf
This is how I express myself and make my mark on the world.

The worth of my birth is a billion, and you know what time it is
My identity and value is priceless, and everyone knows it.

I'm going to make a million
I am going to achieve great financial success.
