Apollo Brown ft. O.C. - Prove Me Wrong

From whence I came, express my pain Shape and mold my frame, I go by the name of O.C My PKA when onstage plus in real life this here’s my government title Idle to many, not the truth to naysayers Been an avenue walker since British walkers Way before Obama was thought to be in office Loss of friends to jail and some dead in a coffin Way of life and music has since gone corporate Picture the days past now it’s a whole different portrait Me dumbin’ down would be a sign of weakness Throwin’ in the towel as Victor Ortiz did Protect yourselves at all times my guard’s up Keepin’ the odds even with the flow and the bars up The star child leave ‘em star-struck Knowin’ an engine won’t run on its own without spark plugs [Hook] If you could read my thoughts what you’d discover is mind-blowing Even when I’m asleep, my mind going My subconscious stay alert Revealing the questions to answers Otherwise that don’t know What be the norm for others, for me, move in slow-mo' See deception and truth be told Yeah, set in my ways ‘till you prove me wrong [Verse 2] Uh, Sub-par ain’t part of my rapport The blood gods are fiendin’ for a taste of my allure For O.C. addicts, sorry for the wait Tie off your arms, here’s another dose, a few years withdrawal Been a bit too long, I know Vent, talk shit, let it out, exhale Time to let it go From a league of extraordinary men So what’s expected is nothing below perfection Never lost that connection When in doubt, life’s about chances Wilted trees only grow new branches Words paint a canvas within, around my questions and answers Mistake of a panther, lurkin’, I know the game’s hurtin’ One thing’s for certain When it’s all said and done, who supplies the best service Take a look around, who’s well-worth the purchase Y’all fooled by these aliens Phenom is an earthling [Hook] [Verse 3] Yo, there’s nothing but wealth in my soul So the slogan, “Men lie, numbers don’t” Read between the quotes or cop-out In the D gettin’ songs knocked out Soon to hit the road and rock out In pre-recordin’ I can fix my mistakes But it’s another level in the flesh live, onstage Big acts backed by majors Sign the dotted line, 360 like they doin’ us a favor Fake-ass bosses talkin’ balderdash with fake designer garments Glass in they crosses, balloonin’ they profits You niggas need stop it How far do the lies go before you expose Seems pussy ain’t a man’s down-fall no mo’ New things, stretch a lie as far is it could go Product placement, live shit is way down in the basement Crime, tour, promote murder, catch a case, heh [Hook]
