T. Karras - Here I Am Lyrics

You want me, well here I am
You want me, well here I am

You want me, well here I am
Ready to rock it with my M.I.C
You want me, well here I am
I'll impress everybody with my mastery
You want me, well here I am
I'll put any fake ass out of their misery
You want me, well here I am
Can't nobody ever fuck with me
Here I am

Yes, it's me, the lyrical emcee
I paid the price to come here, this style didn't come free
And I'm goin' buck wild against fake ass frauds
Those who claim they hardcore, watch me break down your facade
My life was hectic since the day I was born
My family was The Simpsons, the feelin' wasn't warm
Everybody was fightin' every single day
Drove me crazy to the point where I'm 5150
I know real shit unlike what you are claimin'
Just because I ain't ghetto doesn't mean I am fakin'
You chose to be cookie cutter clutter for the masses
I don't even listen, send you straight to the trash bin
So what, I'm white and awkward as fuck
At least I don't have to sell out to get respect and such
I don't need more money, I'm basically fine
I'm gonna live forever and you, you out of time
Ding

You want me, well here I am
Ready to rock it with my M.I.C
You want me, well here I am
I'll impress everybody with my mastery
You want me, well here I am
I'll put any fake ass out of their misery
You want me, well here I am
Can't nobody ever fuck with me
Here I am

I know I'm a joke, my idol's Colin Mochrie
You disrespect me, you disrespect the I.E.
Both suburbs and ghettos share the same streets
We're not from L.A. but we can still spit heat
Everybody trynna say they're from Compton or Inglewood
How am I supposed to know, these transplants fuckin' up the hood
Hip-hop ain't a gimmick, it's a way of life
You want respect, better show me how you handle the mic
Don't underestimate me, I can beat you in an instant
I got flows and bars galore and yes I'm insistin'
You can payola everybody and I'll still win
How pathetic that you have to live a lie within
I'm realer than most in this industry
I give props to those who are realer than me
Flashy rappers say I'm full of it, I find that rich
If you mean what you stand for, you would stop the bullshit
Word up

You want me, well here I am
Ready to rock it with my M.I.C
You want me, well here I am
I'll impress everybody with my mastery
You want me, well here I am
I'll put any fake ass out of their misery
You want me, well here I am
Can't nobody ever fuck with me
Here I am

Shout out to my friends, they deserve love
Shout out to my fans, they deserve love
Shout out to my enemies, they deserve love
Matter of fact, shout out to the whole motherfucking world, they deserve love
Peace
