Pete Wurthy - Dodging Bullets (A Tap Dance) Lyrics

Uh uh, uh uh
Yooo, yooo
This is on some Morgan Freeman come pay my phone bill type shit
Yeah
Feels like now is just a good time as any to put this on wax
Right, right
Come on
Further your education, further the nation
In class, I constantly sought sedation
I came in kindly, took my seat
Tried to defeat daily lessons with a pen and a beat
In my head, no 2.0 lead, I'd rather gamble on the
Game instead, I dread anything less than opulence
Wasn't satisfied with the present and past tense
Alone without a hope and chance not the goal I meant
I'm bent, out of control, notoriety seeked
But uh, as far as I recall I was no track Dracula
Couldn't marinate bars had no rap spatula
Delivery wasn't spectacula
Nonetheless, as the teachers always told me
Do with a passion; had to break the mold
Had to be expressive, had to have my life told
Had to disconform, had to have units sold
I'm Dodging Bullets .... just to have a mic in my hand
I'm Dodging Bullets .... for the way I rhyme, way I stand
I'm Dodging Bullets .... seems to me no matter where I'm at
An opposing force wants a bullet in my back
I'm Dodging Bullets .... even though peace my agenda
I'm Dodging Bullets .... just to be real, not a pretenda
I'm Dodging Bullets .... I'm either out of time or out of luck
Ain't tryna be either thus I gives no f*cks
My creative potential would deviate and oscillate with no
Facilitation to cease this vacillation
I could easily escape my innate sense to create
Become dull and wake with lack of demand to debate
Their game is weak, elevate, money's at stake
My skill is great, how much motivation is it gonna take
Now I'm gettin' mad known, ridin' beats like cyclones
Rippin' while maintainin' like a f*ckin' rap rodeo
I got the mad skills man I shoulda been on
I got that work unlike the CEO of Enron
I'm the emcee that all these cats depend on
If you disagree you got a bitch opinion
Advance the craft for the culture
Ain't trying to feed off dead ears like a vulture but uh
Seems to me no matter where I am or at
Somebody or some thing tryna confiscate my raps
I'm Dodging Bullets .... just to have a mic in my hand
I'm Dodging Bullets .... for the way I rhyme, way I stand
I'm Dodging Bullets .... seems to me no matter where I'm at
An opposing force wants a bullet in my back
I'm Dodging Bullets .... even though peace my agenda
I'm Dodging Bullets .... just to be real, not a pretenda
I'm Dodging Bullets .... I'm either out of time or out of luck
Ain't tryna be either thus I gives no f*cks
