Show The World - Intellectual

[Chorus: Berel Alexander]

Ready to show the world that my success, it ain't no overnight dream

Not like some one night fling, I'm in a lifelong love with this music thing

It all began back in grade school, following this path we don't paid dues

Yes, some might say this a break-though, I only ready to show the world

[Verse 1: UnderRated]

I love beats and rappin' and I want first place (Yeah)

My life is consumed by the work that it takes (It is!)

Yeah, I love the fans and they really kept me flowin'

But my personal life I don't know where it's goin' (Nope)

Found a girl, fell in love, then she quit on me (Uh-oh)

It's the story of my life check my history (Correct!)

Every girl that I've been with is gone 'cause of rappin'

Guess I didn't have the time to make 'em happy (Yeah)

But I push on still tryna get through it (Yeah)

When I'm feelin' alone I always turned to the music (Yes!)

It made me grow up turned me into who I am

Josh Leiderman still stickin' to the plan (Yeah!)

Even though I'm not there Thanksgiving and Christmas

And I missed your birthday, guess it comes with the business (Yeah)

I missed my grandma's funeral, I wasn't around

'Cause Potluck had a show outta town

I'm sorry (Where?), I always really wanna be there

Everybody that I love please know I really do care

But I got this talent I can't waste it

I'm stuck in between a fucked up situation

'Cause if I don't make music I'm not happy

And if I'm not happy then where will that have me?

Probably depressed and feelin' so whack

So, I'm givin' it my all, tryna never look back

[Chorus: Berel Alexander]

Ready to show the world that my success, it ain't no overnight dream

Not like some one night fling, I'm in a lifelong love with this music thing

It all began back in grade school, following this path we don't paid dues

Yes, some might say this a break-though, I only ready to show the world

[Verse 2: 1-Ton]

It started out so simple back in the beginnin' ([?], man)

A man on a mission tryna make a rap livin' (Yesh)

And represent for my block like a nigga should (Let it go!)

Say I ain't paid dues I wish a nigga would (Would)

Before the record deal way before the first show (First show)

Knew to work hard if you wanna Kurtis Blow (Blessing)

My lifestyle bumpin' beats and make the words flow

I gave my word, bro, I'm here to let the world know (Whole world)

The highs and the lows, the good and the bad

I just had to be an MC what type of life is that? (What?)

Livin' on the road, drivin' a van

Nina's missin' her dad and she don't understand ([Foreign?])

Why I'm gone for two months? Why I miss the new stuff?

Why do mama always cry? I guess I'm doin' too much (You doin' too much?!)

I got a lot of fans all around the country

I'm part of a family and they really do love me (I love you too)

The music that we make is so real that they relate (It's for real)

They take good care of me and put food up on my plate (It's real)

Rappin' is my therapy the movement and the loot chases

It's hard to raise a family man when you livin' out a suitcases (Hard)

Hip-hop will always be a part of my life (Always)

And the ones who suffer most are my daughters and my wife (Sorry)

I know you miss me when I'm gone, I wanna hug you everyday (True)

I'm sorry that I hurt you, I hope you love me anyway
