[Intro] Ive got just one question for all you listeners out there Are you Ready? [Verse 1] This is a breath of fresh air in this world of noise pollution I speak the truth cause they dont have the voice to do it Im a white southerner, so critics make quick assumptions For those who dont know, consider this my introduction MC Headcase, I hit the stage with gumption Youre the product of yes men at a record label luncheon Putting out garbage music in abundance But we aint falling for that bullshit, write something with substance! Its time to clear it up for those of you who arent so sure The MC in my name stands for Music Connoisseur Im taking HipHop further with new musical boundaries Cause these bythebook rappers just arent astounding me White girls hear me and say You rap so well! But when ARs hear it, they say That wont sell! Turn my back on the culture to make a quick payday? Youre better off asking Farrakhan to join the KKK [Hook] When the music begins to play Are you ready? Are you ready? You get yours, cause I got mine Are you ready? Are you ready? [Verse 2] Calling all cars, and wannabe rap stars who think they got me Acting cocky, trying to mock me, when secretly they jock me You think youre getting off Scotfree? You cant beat the rap So that style you stole from me, Imma need it back Im a million metaphors ahead of yall Shitting on the whole rap world from the highest pedestal Ive had thousands of wack rappers pouting Cause I can kick a freestyle thats doper then your whole album Lets get it straight, Ive seen more than just a little hate And the reason why is North Carolina is such a fickle state Yeah, I take it personally Cause if I dont get crunk or make trap music, Im forced to toil in obscurity But as bad as we treat each other, the industry treats us worse Forcing us to leave the state cause we need the work Just try to tell me that it aint so They did Little Brother dirty, and theyll do the same to J. Cole I know how it seems though, but nah, I aint emo Im murderous with the pen like Joe Pesci in Casino I expose the politics with my indepth perception Cause I dont respect deception So Im calling out any emcee that dont meet my expectations And if you wanna battle, Im there with no hesitation Youll catch a beat down, Ill smack you with every syllable HipHop is coming full circle but you aint pivotal [Hook] [Verse 3] Headcase is one of the most dedicated musical patrons Down to rip it on the mic or guitar on any occasion They claim Eminem is where I got my style from But I go the extra mile for this, call it a nine mile run This is a category where Ill never fail Got a business mind, but Im not concerned with record sales I know how the music industry works, its intricate But when no ones buying records, are sales still significant? NO! My emphasis is on the show, a live spectacle Mixing different genres and the result is still respectable These mixtape thugs leave me numb like Novocaine The only time you ever held nines was in a poker game Fuck a pocketful of stones, I got a pocketful of poems All original, while the rest are carbon copy clones But I dont pay em any mind, I just run my spot So in the words of Biggie Smalls, see you chumps on top And Im out! [Hook]
