I am a rapper but I’m never dead
Also a drummer as I bang the drum head
Rap is alive, man, cause I’m never dead
Head bangin’ up and down with my head
I am a rapper but I’m never dead
Also a drummer as I bang the drum head
Rap is alive, man, cause I’m never dead
Head bangin’ up and down with my head
When I hear kick, when I hear snare
My heart pounds like truth or dare
And I don’t really care
Cause I got the rhythm up inside my veins
Genre doesn’t matter, the beat is insane
Simple or not, it’s still gonna knock
A knock on my door with the bass on the floor
Heads bobbin’ up and down
Smiles, no frowns, even though I look like a clown
Even though I’m messin’ around
Hats, crash, ride, toms, bass, snare
The drums lead the rhythm of the song
Don’t play off time cause then you’ll get it wrong
The rhythm is what motivates me to flow
Without the drums, I’d have nothing below
Even though I go, drums are all I know,
Rock or rap? I don’t even know
I am a rapper but I’m never dead
Also a drummer as I bang the drum head
Rap is alive, man, cause I’m never dead
Head bangin’ up and down with my head
I am a rapper but I’m never dead
Also a drummer as I bang the drum head
Rap is alive, man, cause I’m never dead
Head bangin’ up and down with my head
Am I a rock star without a guitar?
Or am I a rapper without candy?
I don’t even know cause I cannot even see
The genre’s so mixed, so very confusing
I don’t really know if this is rap
Or is it rock? You tell me
My mind’s mixed up, I cannot really see
All I know is the rhythm’s in my deep
I feel the bass, clap, hats
Stayin’ underground makin’ no cash
Wishin’ I could do this rap thing for a living
But no one’s payin’ stacks
I’m sick of all that trash
Find the real talent with the beats
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think that’s me
I know I can flow
What else must I show?
How long must I wait without makin’ cash?
Cause they’re takin’ all my dough
I am a rapper but I’m never dead
Also a drummer as I bang the drum head
Rap is alive, man, cause I’m never dead
Head bangin’ up and down with my head
I am a rapper but I’m never dead
Also a drummer as I bang the drum head
Rap is alive, man, cause I’m never dead
Head bangin’ up and down with my head
Rock or rap, man, the genre doesn’t matter
It’s the rhythm gettin’ fatter
And also crazier and badder
Gimme a thick bass
Gimme a thick kick
Give me a drum stick
And also a snare
This beat is insane
It’s stuck in my brain
I cannot flow without goin’ crazy
Please don’t call me lazy
Cause I wrote and produced this track
It ain’t even wack and I ain’t turn my back
So no, I ain’t gonna leave the game
Rap, drums, rhythm is the way I live
It’s the air I need to give to the world
So I’ma always gonna produce the tracks
The rap game’s me, I need it to breath
Too far in for me to leave
So listen to my words
So you can conceive everything
I need to be me
I am a rapper but I’m never dead
Also a drummer as I bang the drum head
Rap is alive, man, cause I’m never dead
Head bangin’ up and down with my head
I am a rapper but I’m never dead
Also a drummer as I bang the drum head
Rap is alive, man, cause I’m never dead
Head bangin’ up and down with my head
