Where you at CM...
You know where I be fam
In the lab, in the back, create a mean jam
Choppin samples up, throw some drums on it
Let it thump, script a verse, spit at least one on it
You know how I get down, if not then listen closely
Versatile on the mic, cats try to de-code me
Decipher it line for line, my solid bars hold me
Down, like my mothafuckin Co-D
Fendants, cause they know I spit tremendous
Over extensive loops, don’t care what the new trend is
I’m here to be living proof, let you know who CM is
Potential to blow off the roof, every 16 that I’m spittin
It don’t matter if I’m in the booth, cipher or a live show
Not familiar with Creative, peep it out, here I go
Flip flows at a moments notice, phonies I expose
Take a listen, you are now in tune with a true pro
Who’s next yo, well then, let’s go
Who’s down to grab the mic & spit ya best flow
Go rock shows, and let these heads know
It don’t matter where you from, to be a true pro
I got a vision, seeking to accomplish my ambition
Of being one of the illest emcee, spitting what’s written
From the blood, sweat & tears, spewed on my pad like a sickness
Revealing all of the life that I have witness
Like an addiction, I crave respect, still perfecting my craft tho
CM’s still that true cat, never known as an asshole
Inspired by my kin folks, especially my big bro
And my brother Low, let’s go & earn this big cash flow
Been scripting for minute, penning infinite pages
It’s like, once I got started, writing just seems contagious
And once I started rhyming, making tracks in my basement
I bare my heart & soul, it went beyond entertainment
This that true talk, life gets more complicated
Salute to those who made it & others that faded
Now it’s our to be heard, I put so much in this
Believe I put it down, every line, till I’m finished
Who’s next yo, well then, let’s go
Who’s down to grab the mic & spit ya best flow
Go rock shows, and let these heads know
It don’t matter where you from, to be a true pro
Of course you gonna doubt it, it’s a fact of life
It’s like the better you get, the hate gets factored twice
Cause people love to hate me or people hate to love me
All I can say is do your part & try to rise above me
Or join the cause, cats be scared to agree
That CM be on his grizzle, stay on my J.O.B.
I learned from the lives that traded, wisdom for death
We only got one life so don’t ever settle for less
When we die, then we rest, for now, we put in work
I rise every morning, preparing to be the first
Hit the pad, deep in thought, revive to write a verse
Hit the lab, spark a track, lay it down & then rehearse
There’s many CM’s, but just one of me on this earth
I’ve been blessed since birth, so don’t ever question my worth
I put it down, every time, substance in every line
My pen grinds so my see how my rhymes shine
Who’s next yo, well then, let’s go
Who’s down to grab the mic & spit ya best flow
Go rock shows, and let these heads know
It don’t matter where you from, to be a true pro
