Downtown Science - Winning Lyrics
Bosco Money possessin knowledge if you seek itMake you understand my language even though you probably don't speak itI came specifically to freak itAlways eat my Wheeties, so I don't feel peakedWhen it's time to pick up the mic and rhyme, I doSo I can prove to you that mom duke came throughWith a strong sonAnd if it's time to have funI treat the mic like a gunPull the triggerTransform, and get biggerI'm the man that make you peep the rhyme and say"Damn!" - don't think I'm not, when I amUnderrated, frequently imitatedBut never outdated, and yet I'm alienatedBecause they say I'm 180 instead of bein full-circleAnti - yo, I came from the skySo catch a brainstorm and kill thatI ain't tryin to hear itThe rhyme fits your mind so nice, you wanna wear it[ CHORUS ] I'm winnin, cause I'm in it to win it You think I'm not, when I am? I'm winnin till I'm grinnin It's almost like I'm sinnin I'm a winner from the beginninI can't be part of this nonsenseOf black versus white, or vice versaGrowin worse everday, in no wayBecomin better, I rather be a trendsetterAnd stay ahead of the restWho underestimate my brain matterLet the truth scatter, manifest some dataAnd drop it, like Harry Truman dropped the A bombOr Nixon dropped troops in VietnamAnd while I'm on the subject of presidential thinkinClock lots of Jacksons, cause my thoughts is LincolnNot sinkin like a raft, cause I'm cooler than ShaftAnd my wisdom is refreshing like a frosty draftAle, and I will not fail to prevailUntil they throw me in jailI woulda went to Yale, but I didn't get acceptedKnow why? I didn't apply...[ CHORUS ]Play me like a tape, and memorize my melodyLayin, relayin, portrayin, conveyin and sayinWhat I mean, and like VaseemClear out your eyes, so you can seeSociety's been selling you a dreamSchemin on your self-esteemIt got you sweatin a lifestyle the magazinesSeem to make realBut tell me, what's the dealHave you become of victim of the media appeal?I have, best believe I'm not jokinCause like the Marlboro Man, my rhymes are smokinPokin hoes and societal woes I'm lookin inIs yet another way I unmistakably winSo hip yourself to my tipI'm packin the house like a cebTonight I'm trippin like Greyhound>From town to townDroppin the knowledge most profound[ CHORUS ]
