I Want a Raise

I’m your hero, never a zero, more like a thousand
I’m not the Jungle Brothers
But tell suckers I will house them
I’m underrated with the rhymes and raps
I wanna jeweler
I’m shinin’ like The Ruler is Back
I talk flows composed
With the pencil and pen
I told a rapper he was weak
Shoulda went to the gym
I’m kinda slim
But my rhyme style is heavyweight
I’m not a child and that’s the reason that I never played
I get paid? No, I don’t, I’m afraid
To put it short…
I want a raise

I’m rehearsin’
The vocal and verse n’ I’m on a roll
If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be here like “I Know You Got Soul”
I’m in control
Like Marley Marl flyin’ a plane
With one finger up in the air rockin’ a chain
My name is Grip and you can tell by the sound of my tune
If you the very best rapper on Earth
I’m on the Moon
I’m on the Sun, number one
Number dos, you ain’t close
There, there
Put your hands in the air like scare quotes
For real
You know Grip told the kids to applause
Hit the road, git ‘em dancin’ like “The Wizard of Oz”
I’d be makin’ more dough takin’ minimum wage
I don’t rap to be rich, I just
Want a raise…
