lyrics
Am I
(chorus)
How high Am I?
Higher than a mountain
travelled by any Trekkers,
How fly Am I?
Fly-est of the council
but I ain't selling many records/
How low Am I?
On the flooring but I'm never
throwing in the white towel,
How grown am I?
Soaring up in the sky
flying like a Night Owl/
(V1.)
I give a hoot but I still pollute,
And commute in two boots while I try and compute/
How you wanna be stars, owning more than three cars,
All I need is a phat beat, a notepad, and weed jars/
I got bars for days, you goto bars for gays,
Flame you with word play and another verb phrase/
Set the stage ablaze with an outpour of decibels,
I'll rock your house party or outdoor festivals/
Intestinal fortitude, has always been an attribute,
Relative importance like the magnitude of gratitude/
Aptitude proves my inherent ability,
Flipping on the mic with coherent agility/
Legibility filling me, infamy,
Evil fame that I embrace in full dignity/
Giving me, but never ever fake it or cheese it,
And couldn't really give a fuck wether you take it or leave it/
(chorus)
Am I too high?
My head is in the ground
& my feet are in the clouds,
Am I too fly?
Even dressed down
I'm standing out in a crowd/
Am I too low?
Speaking my mind
& don't throw you no bone,
Am I too grown?
Seeking to find
& avoid the postpone/
(V2.)
Caught in a Webb, like Vinnie Price in The Fly,
Got some shit in my head, I called my homie Beshai/
Never ceases to amaze me, how I spend time,
To make an underlying message in the span of one rhyme/
Even though most folks won't even read between the lines,
My thoughts should provoke mysteries within minds/
Am I thinking too deep with my lore & perfection?
Twisting up speech to open doors of perception/
Bring it to the table with some overplaying wit,
Cus nowadays most MCs ain't saying shit/
Selling souls for bottom dollar & applause,
While me & people come together for a common love & cause/
Realer than most, or revered as a joke,
A no brainer of a choice, to think clear as I spoke/
Never cloaked no gats, or fight slanging six shooters,
Just bump on the racks, like banging big hooters/
(chorus)
How high Am I?
Higher than a mountain
travelled by any Trekkers,
How fly Am I?
Fly-est of the council
but I ain't selling many records/
How low Am I?
On the flooring but I'm never
throwing in the white towel,
How grown am I?
Soaring up in the sky
flying like a Night Owl/
(V3.)
Disgraced many scholars, lacing brawlers,
Life is like a race and everybody's chasing dollars/
Living in a world where it's make it or break it,
A journeyman explores to see how far I can take it/
Used to push the envelope but it was filled with smelly dope,
I still push the envelope but now it's full of deadly quotes/
I rock folks wether pre wrote or freestyle,
Meanwhile the senile be all up on my penile/
Jumping on my case with a case of negativity,
I got the time and space like concept of relativity/
Creativity, my reason for being,
Never short on ideas with all the treason I'm seeing/
Keep feeding me fuel and I'm a keep coming through,
Deep lecturing you, just like Mr. Drummond do/
What you talking bout' Willis? always give it to you pronto,
Modern day pirate muthafucka call me Hondo/
(chorus)
Am I too high?
My head is in the ground
& my feet are in the clouds,
Am I too fly?
Even dressed down
I'm standing out in a crowd/
Am I too low?
Speaking my mind
& don't throw you no bone,
Am I too grown?
Seeking to find
& avoid the postpone/
How high Am I?
Higher than a mountain
travelled by any Trekkers,
How fly Am I?
Fly-est of the council
but I ain't selling many records/
How low Am I?
On the flooring but I'm never
throwing in the white towel,
How grown am I?
Soaring up in the sky
flying like a Night Owl/
