[Intro]

Every MC in this industry

Wants one thing:

To be the best at the top of their game

You want it? Come and get me

[Chorus]

Do what you gotta do (Come and get me!)

I came from the struggle; I'm bringin' my pain with me

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray

Yo, I been this way since back in the day, yup!

Do what you gotta do (Come and get me!)

I came from the struggle; I'm bringin' my pain with me

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray

Yo, I been this way since back in the day (Yo, Shan, let's take 'em)

[Verse 1]

You couldn't rock a joint with a mic and a pound of weed

Couldn't get a point across with a pin and a key of P

Couldn't get high as me with two tabs of LSD

Cool as a cucumber with two sticks of celery

Spit like watermelon pips from your juju lips

Hands more callused than CXL from the mics I rip

My rhyme pattern supreme, mmm, the baddest

Fresh, woo! My flow's the fattest (Yeah!)

And I gotta do this for those that never had it

But climbed the ladder only to watch all their dreams shatter

They doubled my pain; I tripled my skills in hip-hop

Quadrupled my strength, quintupled my props, y'all

I got it locked, your album ready to drop, y'all

And you can hit me with everything that you got, y'all

But I will not fall or trip over obstacles

It's logical, I'ma run Hip Hop NZ like Prodigal

[Chorus]

Do what you gotta do (Come and get me!)

I came from the struggle; I'm bringin' my pain with me

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray

Yo, I been this way since back in the day, yup!

Do what you gotta do (Come and get me!)

I came from the struggle; I'm bringin' my pain with me

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray

Yo, I been this way since back in the day

[Verse 2]

Verse two, I stepped up, and I made moves

I stayed true, and like flows, I paid dues

And came through slicin' biters like Blade II

'Cause they knew I came to take out fake crews

And take you if that's what it comes down to

Tryna break through and go triple platinum like Che Fu (True)

Still, I’m tighter than the Al-Qaeda with corn braids

Lines heavy like if you weighed the whole with Dawn Raid

Fuck the minute MC, I'm all year

I went back to the true school like DJ Sir-Vere

So who the, who the fuck said that Scribe wasn't deep?

Yo, I'm deep like Mareko's voice tone when he speaks

And I'm ill like Unique but with skills to pay the bills, this year

MCs is gettin' cut like One Tree Hill, for real

I'm still the baddest MC to grab a pad and a pen

Go tell a friend Scribe is at it again, yeah!

[Chorus]

Do what you gotta do (Come and get me!)

I came from the struggle; I'm bringin' my pain with me

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray

Yo, I been this way since back in the day, yup!

Do what you gotta do (Come and get me!)

I came from the struggle; I'm bringin' my pain with me

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray

Yo, I been this way since...

[Verse 3]

I complete the beat like a snare, I come crisp and clear

I'm here to test MCs like it's their fifth form year

We 'bout to find out who is and who isn't prepared

I'm 'bout to make careers disappear into thin air

Ask DJ Shan; yo, I've been up in here

You'd better get it crystal clear, your skill just doesn't compare

They're askin' who's the best in the underground

No question, the best is on the fuckin' mic right now (Yeah!)

[Chorus]

Do what you gotta do (Come and get me!)

I came from the struggle; I'm bringin' my pain with me

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray

Yo, I been this way since back in the day, yup!

Do what you gotta do (Come and get me!)

I came from the struggle; I'm bringin' my pain with me

Nothing you can say will ever lead me astray

Yo, I been this way since back in the day

[Outro]

Yeah, so come and get me

I'm waiting

I'll still be here

When you're ready
