Chinese Man & Tumi Better That Way (feat. Taiwan MC)
[TUMI]
I don't really like the biggest song
Find it silly not original
Condescending and a little wrong
Tired of pretending I am with it but...
MAYBE Y'ALL LIKE IT BETTER THAT WAY
Gotta miss me with biggest song
Cuz I don't listen when the shit come on
You got me twisted if you think I am for it
So pardon me when I just switch it off
MAYBE Y'ALL LIKE IT BETTER THAT WAY
I know this kid that gets laughed at
Slandered and trashed
Cuz he lacks the manners to adapt to hash tags
Branded an outcast like one half of OutKast
Gotta handle demands a thousand times stacked up
He won't pander, animated like Jack Black
And he made it past the approximate age of Black Jack
So when the radio plays another bad band
MAYBE Y'ALL LIKE IT BETTER THAT WAY
Hey life is abstract
There's no accounting for taste
Drink at a fast enough rate to get you passed out
He likes them dance tracks
Something about em is great
Get in a trance, later
Language is matter fact
Standards are half assed
Now whose to say what is great?
50 shades of grey
Ana Steel/and I'm still the black cat
Really I am baffled, sounding like an asshole
MAYBE Y'ALL LIKE IT BETTER THAT WAY
[MC Taiwan]
B-side rocker not a in dem playlist
Music what we sing is just too dynamic
Dynamite explosion when we chat pon version
We don't adapt, and we don't edit, we don't seek attention
We just.. do what we do, we just and do it and we do it
We don't.. need your advice we just a sing it cause we like it
Gimme.. the pen & paper weed & the rizla
Play that riddim let me light up the fire now
Too many MC's seeking for dough, seeking for fame
They so low, they so lame
We all know their music will be going down the drain
One day, right about now you getting plays
Tomorrow being played, yo, listen what we say
Oh!
We not inna dem ting no!
New styles we are bring yo
Maybe not the most famous!
But we sure say we dangerous!
We not inna dem ting no!
(If I don't like it, I don't like it)
New styles we are bring yo
(Take em higher than they might get)
Maybe not the most famous!
(Don't gimme the lights I want the sunsets)
But we sure say we dangerous
[TUMI]
For every innovator
There are 60 imitators
For every real gators
Cheaper fakers
For every pop station
Trying to play this
There's a major label head
Tryna to payola his way into the playlist
20 times a day shit
For every liberator
Secret agents
For every cliché
Syndication
And every single day
It's the same lame thing playing
Then again...
MAYBE Y'ALL LIKE IT BETTER THAT WAY
We not inna dem ting no!
(If I don't like it, I don't like it)
New styles we are bring yo
(Take em higher than they might get)
Maybe not the most famous!
(Don't gimme the lights I want the sunsets)
But we sure say we dangerous
(Dangerously independent)
I don't really like the biggest song
Find it silly not original
Condescending and a little wrong
Tired of pretending I am with it but...
MAYBE Y'ALL LIKE IT BETTER THAT WAY
Gotta miss me with the biggest song
Cuz I don't listen when the shit come on
You got me twisted if you think I am for it
So pardon me when I just switch it off...
[OUTRO / SAMPLE]
Tell me oh Muse of that ingenius hero who travelled far and wide
Many cities did he visit
And many worthy nations with who's manners and customs he was acquainted
Moreover he suffered much by sea world trying to save his own life
And bring his man savely home
