Telling It How It Is - Esham

The chosen one with the giving gift

Of speech to teach and just flow like fluid

I pray to God to make sho' I can do it

Niggas spitting venom, jealous talking shit

But those who oppose can suck my dick

I’m not in it to win it

I’m in it to clock duckets

Jump on the stage, grab my dick and say «Fuck it!»

My brother named James is a hardcore nigga

Got the Mini-14 with a squeaky trigger

We’re coming out hardcore

Give you what you came for

We’re just some niggas that opened up Hell’s Doors

Esham is here and I came to tell you

My shit’s so dope it’s drug paraphernalia

I hate to be the one to tell them you ain’t shit

But if there’s any questions asked I’ll be telling it

Fuck it I’m running a play like a marathon

I’ll grab the mic and begin to carry on

I’m the E to the S to the H to the A to the M

And I’m him

So don’t ever try to down me

My shadow it darkens your doorstep so be warned

The Devil’s been inside me ever since I was born

This is your first and last warning

You better pray to God you’ll be alive in the morning

I’m cooler than the ice on the ground in the winter

When I grab that mic I am finna'

Kick a rhyme in your face

Back to back with the bass

Then all the hoes will know Esham’s in the place

I’m slicker and quicker

See I don’t drink liquor

Wine is fine but it’s about that time

For me to jump up and say my name again

See I don’t stop rapping 'til the party ends

All ya’ll silly hoes chasing Trues and Vogues

But you always see E in new jewels and clothes

Never thought I would get it

Now I got it now you want it

I’m going to use and abuse it

So I might as well flaunt it

I’m going to shake my thing

Bust a rap, don’t sing

See my name ain’t Elvis but I’m the king

Not the same old gimmick

Not the same old game

If you don’t nod your head then I’m to blame

But I guess I got to go until the next intro

But remember Esham’s dope, ho
