The Show (Act I & Act II)

[Verse One] Spectating Jin debilitating chins on television Cousin tape recording bars pacing in the kitchen Commenced penning written's prior to my new religion Being present yellow belly fella smellin' Nelly's vision Similar in age to Dave when he first hit the stage Imagine camera flash capacity crowds and loving fame But I can't empathize what's real I cannot simulate What's your answer to an exec's question? how much can you take? Before I cast a stone understand I have to man the throne Can't gas-n-go then my word is weak you heard my speech my word is bond I respect a man who accepts to reject even Fox money When Fox makes a request to recast a black for a blond honey The media had some nerve "Chapelle pulls the race card" Staff encouraged ignorant skits the black white supremacist Shit was funny but even a dummy could understand what I'm trying to spit Comedy Central don't give two shits of the moral dilemma he's dealing with They're wheeling it, and even after he left to Africa He was rumored a mental crackhead the media was trying to damage him That bogusness, would've wrought roguishness out of you too And if you can walk away from fifty mil I'd respect you too [Chorus] Through purple rain I'm trying to earn a First Ave star Tall Paul in black with a white backdrop The furthest name from working wage he's in a Jaguar I'm in a Buick going to protest a mascot I might make it still if I, write my will Like Mike gave you thrill I might, make a mil On mic's made to kill where's my, major deal Just might fake it 'til I'm like, Dave Chappelle [Verse Two] Misunderstood, widely considered washed up Ignorant folks cackling cracking jokes "Dave smokes rocks up" So even though his kids ain't fat from integrity sandwiches I praise no man but I respect him for the man he is Most celebrities with his past stature resemble mannequins He quit show biz to retain humanity they were lacking then To me, that kinda speaks to who he truly is For shouting me out, this is the least a dude could duly do for him Who am I kidding? I'd be a fool to think I could truly influence him More than a barbers buzz cuts he gave my name and cuts buzz Just cause some bruh's was, buds to buzz the hush hush I thank y'all brothas for shouting me out to Dave cause then came much lush Much love, placing my aim on this game so I can come up And donate half of the proceeds from my cd's to a fund's love At least once must, simple humility is something I come from Catch me throwing a free comedy block party in Brooklyn slums son [Chorus] [Chappelle Show sample: Dave Chappelle] Yes they deserve to die, and I hope they burn in hell [Verse Three] The Chappelle Show hit town, let me first preface it's relevance He popped up with a block of appearance's setting precedent's One week before the present tense, mentioning his presence's Prince's principle popular venue selling hella tix Hella chicks and fellas went to laugh with Dave the first day And learned about a native's name who crashed the game with wordplay In here hey just hearsay, Dave was roasting Tall Paul I received an at from Big Cats on Twitter a bitter sweet call Wished I would've been there, to witness greatness transpire Media poppin' got me shining like a famous campfire Dedicated supporters of mine shouted me out when Dave inquired About the local Hip Hop scene's native MC's are they fire? Tall Paul, Tall Paul, Tall Paul he's got bars He better have better rhymes than Tall and Paul and not be all short Six three to be exact he said, if he can even rap I'll sign him up for a million bucks and then the map can see him snap My cap was napped a cat relaxed when all this craziness went down Then I woke to the tweet from Cats my head afloat my feet on ground Surreality settled in as reality Borrowed bucks for Dave tickets to get my ticket to them bucks Went to the second show the second night to see just what was up Somewhat because I'm a money hungry Dave chasing Oprah But it's Paul chasing Dave like, Tyrone chasing coca In a crack faced'ed daze like I loathe staying sober Cause I did, and I do, bodda bing, bodda boom Dave said hey it's nice to meet you shouted me out on stage too When he mentioned Protect Ya Spirit and said you're deeper than most I knew then that he played my music and heard me beast with the flows [Chorus] [Verse Four] Those who've been supporting me know that I'm dope It was never because of a shout out it's been because I'm cutthroat From the start I've spoke from the heart for the most part I'm myself But it took a shout out from Dave Chappelle to get my name on the shelf I can't complain it helped when my aim's a little fame and some wealth So I remain in stealth preparing attacks I'm taking that mil One man army like factory farming I'm taking that milk The media lately wants my story so I'm making that kill Got Vita.mn, the Star Tribune and the City Pages all amused Writing in their columns after completing recent interviews I ain't mad at em, cause it took Dave for them to take a stab at him I actually kinda like them apples like a first man's madame If I blew up mainstream news would call me a screw up If I denied fifty million in cake to escape to Bermuda Even famous, I'd still bazooka up hooka's with losers Cause beggars can't be choosers I'd do it just to feel human [Chorus]
