Mike Solo Medley (Skine To Bone/Wretches and Kings/Remember The Name/Numb) [Instrumental]
Wretches And Kings:
To save face / how low can you go Talk a lot of game but yet you don't know Static on the way / make us all say whoa The people up top push the people down low Get down And obey every word Steady getting mine if you haven't yet heard Wanna take what I got Don't be absurd Don't fight the power Nobody gets hurt If you haven't heard yet then I'm letting you know There ain't shit we don't run when the guns unload And no one make a move unless my people say so Got everything outta control Now everybody go
Remember The Name:
This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill Fifteen percent concentrated power of will Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!
Mike! - He doesn't need his name up in lights He just wants to be heard whether it's the beat or the mic He feels so unlike everybody else, alone In spite of the fact that some people still think that they know him But fuck em, he knows the code It's not about the salary It's all about reality and making some noise Makin the story - makin sure his clique stays up That means when he puts it down Tak's pickin it up! let's go!
Forget Mike - Nobody really knows how or why he works so hard It seems like he's never got time Because he, writes every note and he writes every line And I've seen him at work when that light goes on in his mind It's like a design is written in his head every time Before he even touches a key or speaks in a rhyme And those motherfuckers he runs with, those kids that he signed? Ridiculous, without even trying, how do they do it?!
Numb:
I'm tired of being what you want me to be Feeling so faithless Lost under the surface I don't know what you're expecting of me Put under the pressure Of walking in your shoes [Caught in the undertow / Just caught in the undertow] Every step that I take is another mistake to you I've Become so numb I can't feel you there Become so tired So much more aware I'm becoming this All I want to do Is be more like me And be less like you Can't you see that you're smothering me Holding too tightly Afraid to lose control 'Cause everything that you thought I would be Has fallen apart right in front of you [Caught in the undertow / Just caught in the undertow] Every step that I take is another mistake to you [Caught in the undertow / Just caught in the undertow] And every second I waste is more than I can take But I know I may end up failing too But I know You were just like me With someone disappointed in you
