Dance in the Reign (Feat. Sy Smith) (Produced by Swiff D)
[Intro: Phonte] All systems go Thank y'all so much Thank y'all for listening It's Phon-tiga And I do this all for hip hop! I'm lying like shit I do this shit for my goddamn mortgage nigga And my bills, who the fuck am I fooling New tigallo new tigallo new tigallo Ay yo
[Verse 1: Phonte] Stand clear You are not a man if you cannot stand here Phon-tigallo make the song cry grown man tears With the Bull City flow off the corner of Alston and Angier Sex symbol rap, you niggas is Pam Grier We throw bows like Bill Laimbeer Plant fear the first time around, no do-overs Where the fuck is my glass of sangria? Get a sip, then get another sip Then go back to the mothership and tell them I'm on that Separate excrement, yeah that other shit Run and tell mother it's clearly not your time yet Cuz you to me is Dr. Seuss to a Steinbeck A pro with the prose, what a concept
Haha, and I cut this shit in half cuz I ain't feel like waiting
[Verse 2: Phonte] They say everybody got a story, so here's mine It ain't heartbreaking, because I've taken The sour grapes of wrath and made Cheerwine They didn't see shit, nigga I feel fine You know that I'm real, ten years still here No worse for the wear, nigga I'm ill And I'm still top notch You niggas is better off playing hopscotch in a minefield Better off warring in the jungle with no camouflaging Suicide mission, straight sabotaging Flow so addicting it's like habit forming Flow hair-raising it's like rabbit farming Peter Cottontail hopping over beats or rocking Acappells since the days of ? nigga
I'm back in the kitchen with a silk apron Let that boy sauté!
[Verse 3: Phonte] I said let me know the troubles on your mind youngblood And Lord willing me and you will solve them He said Tay I worry about you in the rap game I said motherfucker go and get a real problem Please beg pardon but I'm not starving This rap shit is not the life I live It's a tool that I use, that's it No great fortune to show for it but fortunate That no one can say his life ain't his Some might even say underachiever cuz they are not believers That I don't want the world, but I done seen the world And if you ever saw it, hell, you wouldn't want it either I don't need a kingdom, just want a home You can take a seat, or you can take the throne As long as it is known ain't a damn thing changed Still the underground king, nigga dance in the reign Holla
[Outro: Sy Smith] I feel so glad that I made it, I couldn't ask for more This world is yours for the taking, what are you waiting for?
