Illmac
Deaf Kid
[Verse 1: IAME + Illmaculate]
It's Lame the deaf kid, I ain't even tryna hear you
Save your breath, it'll be a better look than your empty rhetoric
No, I ain't a hater--maybe just a little bit
Lot of folks came and went and went
More bitter than when they enter, go figure
This biz that we're in means men will bends for the scratch
But I'm no gymnast
Try to bend over backwards to get rid of this itch
Went broke in the process (Damn it)
Guess I should've stretched proper
I should have these labels making the best offer
Lame should be a household name
I should be the reigning champ, I should rock two rings
Like my man Illmac, homie what you think?
(Well, I mean...)
Never mind what you think
This my grind time, shouts to Drect
Lame is the future and I won't relent
IAME, I'll always be my enemy and my vice is BF-F
And the mic is my secret weapon
Cause on it I fight back
Only thing in my life that I can sometimes control
Is the crowd and my deep breaths

[Hook]
So I take one
And I make fun of myself and the world around me
Try to make light, but I never take lightly the burden I proudly
Carry for my people that surround me
For the heaviness of the concepts that astound me
This is Heaven Noise and it sounds free
Cause I don't compromise my integrity
[Verse 2]
In other words, they ain't raping me
And the shiny accolades don't define me
If a bullet-proof Escalade's where you'll find me
I'm in a motorcade, First Lady beside me
And I don't mean Michelle
I mean if I ruled the world like Nas and Ms. Hill
Though I'm writing for strangers like Larry [?]
They can feel this in their live souls like Mad [?]
And what the rest of y'all tryna pass off
As dope ain't, I'm just making that call
(So) Back off, someone's probably said this
But my crew has more members than a House of Representatives
Sandpeople in the house, I'm representing it
Oldominion's in the building when I step in it
What you really want now? Huh? You not getting it
See how fast a gang of motherfuckers made a mess of it

[Hook]
But even alone, I'll make one
Make fun of myself and the world around me
Try to make light, but I never take lightly the burden I proudly
Carry for my people that surround me
For the heaviness of the concepts that astound me
This is Heaven Noise and it sounds free
Cause I don't compromise my integrity
[Verse 3]
So who wants to battle me?
There's no B-Rabbit in me
I'm no Energizer batter
I can't just keep going, it's the ADD
When I'm fully focused, I'm deadly with lines
But I used to only focus after deadlier lines
What I put up my nose told me that I was fine
I've always been slow, it just sped up my mind
And I've said plenty of times, yet it's too powerful
This the part in power dudes that missed the power drill
References out of left field, obscure
Some undecipherable as God's word
Landed on this rock, third from the sun
Left crop circles, there's still work to be done
As far out as the cosmos is where I've gone
And I still come back to potholes in my lawn

[Hook]
I'll never escape them
So I make fun of myself and the world around me
Try to make light, but I never take lightly the burden I proudly
Carry for my people that surround me
For the heaviness of the concepts that astound me
This is Heaven Noise and it sounds free
Cause I don't compromise my integrity
