Predecessors Lyrics

(Think I wanna be a scapegoat for the whole damn machine?)

BLAQKNOIZ
Yo, yo, yo

Spend an arm and leg on the fool's gold
Only think you're great when the fools know
Put on a cool show, sell a couple shirts
Going everywhere, but you're never the first
Spend an arm and leg on the fool's gold
Only think you're great when the fools know
Put on a cool show, sell a couple shirts
Going everywhere, but you're never the first

The origin of Man, was always innovation
It's always been the plan, to reach our graduation
But the elevation means you must respect the predecessors
The lessons done been told, Melle Mel and Large Professor
(The LP!) Got LT to engineer a session
The Dope Spot Studios, utilized me a blessing
Ten hours a month? Bet, we gonna do some work
I can lap a few rappers and still never make it to first

Spend an arm and leg on the fool's gold
Only think you're great when the fools know
Put on a cool show, sell a couple shirts
Going everywhere, but you're never the first

The dastardly bastard, the flirt who stay quiet
Understand a Titan, the man instigating the riots
Hiphop is anti-silent, we making KNOIZ on the mic
But it's legendary emcees who taught me to write
Don't question what you type? You disrespecting a God
Watch your ass get smited, prophecy the cattle prod
I battle odd cause I'm versed in a hand-me-down language
You'll never be first, but don't languish in frustration

Spend an arm and leg on the fool's gold
Only think you're great when the fools know
Put on a cool show, sell a couple shirts
Going everywhere, but you're never the first
Spend an arm and leg on the fool's gold
Only think you're great when the fools know
Put on a cool show, sell a couple shirts
Going everywhere, but you're never the first

But you're never the first, but you're never the first
Always second to the predecessors
