Everlast - Syndicate Soldier Lyrics
Here we are, my friend.Once againIm inclined to rhyme one time.So wont you lend me your ear?Cuz its clearThat this here has no painIf this song was the blues youd be sheddin a tearLike a babyMaybeIs shoulda held back.Some of you look shockedI guess you couldnt tell thatI was here to drop knowledgeCollege is irrelevantMy next move,To prove Im smooth but still intelligentExpressingLessons with sheer precisionFirst hear me out then make a decisionOn whether everlast knows what time it is.Does this song belong in the rhyming biz?Yes, I think so, cuz Im a pioneerBlazing the trail across a new frontier.Im growing lengths of growing stregth as I get older.Cuz Im a syndicate soldier.All affections left behind,Theres two more gears to grind.Before Im through,Im sure that you will findA new respect for the rhymes I inject.Through your eardrum,Dont play dumbJust let me get to the point of my addressUnless you feel you cant go.This song is on the tables to make you dance, soGet up, and if you dont, leave the premisesIm rula-ku so you can call me a genesis.Born to perform and please a large crowdOf people at night and to my right is el-oThe scale is brother,Known for being treacherousA sucker made a move and thats the reasonFletcher was forced to put his head outHe got too close to me,Two by my sideAnd thats thats how its supposed to be.These are my brothers,And theyve been around meSince back in the days when the syndicate found me.They are the people deserving of credit.List my name, gained fame, and made sure I wouldnt let itGo to my headInsteadI keep my feet downUnlike suckers from the past I beat down.The fatal mistake was to break on my confidenceOverall, their fall was due to overconfidence.As we go, the egosAll start acting upWith statementsOf greatness, the rhymes arent backing up.Talking louder as they get bolder,But theres no defenseAgainst a syndicate soldier.As we reach the final stage,Something got engaged,In a conflict,Thats sick with violent rage.I gained fame,From my name, everlast.How long can this hype about a devil last?A star was formed, but everyone took it serious.Now its seems, Im seen as delirious.Thats okay, Ill stay under rated.And good things will come to all who have waited.For the brother of a lighter skin to beginDroppin knowledge with weight,Cuz you rate paper thins.Science is one thing, knowledge is another.What do I mean when I say that Im a brother?Being a brother is a state of mindFor all those who chose to remain unblind.Growing wisdom as I get older.Thats right Im white and Im a syndicate soldier
