It's Nothin'
Richie Sosa Lyrics

A lot of people like to call this a game, but I ain't playin'
The rap industry is often referred to as a game, but I am not playing it like one.

I ain't on the guestlist, and I ain't payin'
I didn't come here to be a guest, nor did I come to pay for the privilege of being here.

You'll still see me in the spot, but I'm just sayin'
Even though I'm not on the guestlist, I still showed up to the party.

You know, I'm kinda special, So you can say it's nothin'
I am uniquely talented, and therefore what I do might seem effortless or 'like nothing'.

Any time I get it crackin' man, I do it like it's nothin'
I always do my best work, as if it's just another day at the office.

From Scarborough to Pakistan, Some niggas know it's nothin'
People in many different parts of the world recognize my talent.

Oh yeah, that's with or without a backing
My skills are recognized whether or not I have financial backing or support.

Mr. Action, yo, I make it happen
I am someone who takes initiative and makes things happen through my hard work.

Catch the kid floating like a corn pop in a bowl of milk
I am like a small piece of cereal in a bowl of milk, just floating and going with the flow.

Three quarters leather and suede, One quarter silk
My style is comprised of mostly leather and suede clothing, with a small amount of silk mixed in.

Built mathematically correct, like a pyramid
I am well-built and proportioned, like the pyramids in Egypt.

So my physical line up with the stars on a mirror grid
My body is in harmony with the universe and the stars, placing me in a good position to succeed.

Any time you hear I did what I'm known to do
Whenever people hear about the type of work I do, they know it is of high quality and in line with my abilities.

Big shows, judge shit, down like a cold and gloom
I am always down to perform, whether it's for big audiences or just a small show.

Close shorty, I've never done what I'm supposed to do
I am someone who doesn't conform to others' expectations or conventions.

And somehow I'm still alive after going through
Despite facing many hardships and dangerous situations, I have managed to survive.

All the stupid bullshit and the drama
I have faced and overcome many difficult and unnecessary obstacles and hardships.

I'm from the bottom, you y'all can't phase me with a prima
I came from humble beginnings, so I am unfazed by people who act superior or stuck-up.

So I'm still plottin with my dick up a vagina
I am always thinking ahead and coming up with new ideas, even if it's not the most socially acceptable behavior.

Cause it was either this or trying to stick up a diner
I had to make a choice between a life of crime and following my true passion.

Like everybody hit the fuckin' floor
Everyone had to get down on the ground and take cover, perhaps in a dangerous or violent situation.

El Placa shut the door
Someone, possibly El Placa, closed or locked the door for safety or privacy reasons.

Greedy good bags, hit the fucking draw
People quickly grabbed bags of money or other valuable items and left the scene.

Cause when I'm moody I usually brutally
When I am in a bad mood, I tend to act harshly or violently.

Manuevre like my medulis hoola hooping around my noodle, see
My brain chemistry and thought processes are highly complex and sophisticated.

I'm from a hood where they watch what you got
I come from a neighborhood where people are always watching to see what others have.

What you have, what you don't
People are also paying attention to what others do not have, possibly as a sign of weakness or vulnerability.

What you bout, what you not
People are always trying to determine one's intentions or character traits.

What you sayin, whether it's nothin'
Even one's words are being closely monitored and analyzed for deeper meaning or possible ulterior motives.

Or you're saying a lot
Conversely, if someone is saying a lot or speaking out, that is also under scrutiny and could have consequences.

Whether you're a square with a job or you hot
It doesn't matter if you're just an average person with a steady job or someone in the public eye - people are still watching and judging you.

Trying to move up to a queen size from a cot
People are constantly trying to improve their living situations and move up in the world, even if it's just from a small cot to a larger bed.

Sneakin' on the back of the bus or got a car in the lot
People are using whatever means they have to get around, whether it's sneaking onto the back of a bus or owning their own vehicle.

Cause there's a lot of frauds in the dock
There are many fake or dishonest people in the world, pretending to be something they're not.

Tryin to talk like they walk the walk, they ain't got
These people are often trying to talk a big game or act tough, but they don't actually have the skills or experience to back it up.

I'm from the pre-B.E.T. era
I come from a time before the popular music television channel BET existed.

Hustling was never a fad, I needed guap
I've always been one to hustle and make money, it was never just a temporary trend or fad for me.

Single moms, no pop, raised by the block
Many people in my community were raised by single mothers without a father figure, so we turned to the neighborhood itself as a source of support and guidance.

See it in my bop, I'm probably never gonna stop
My style and personality reflect my upbringing and my drive to succeed, which will likely continue for the rest of my life.

Until the CN tower wobble and drop, tipping that Smirnoff
I will continue to grind until even the most iconic landmarks (in this case, the CN Tower) start to shake and give in, a metaphor for continued success and perseverance.

Eyes red like the terminator with his skin off
My eyes are tired and worn out, like those of the Terminator without his protective outer layer.

Cause everybody know the boy get to brawling
People know that I'm not afraid to fight or stand up for myself when necessary.

And bring heat to the track like the Olympic Torch falling
I bring passion and energy to my music, much like the Olympic torch is said to inspire and ignite excitement.
