lyrics
Yo I be, out the gate like a grey hound running,
Taking you up on a journey on some beautiful percussion,
Trying to start a tense discussion by getting your girlfriend blushing,
But my oh my, what an awkward introduction,
Why don’t we start that all again, I’ll just go grab my pad and pen,
I’ll change it up for you my friend, I do this every now and then,
When I overstep myself, issues with my mental health,
Got me feeling like I need reach out just to get some help,
Cause I just can’t stop with this terrible habit,
See I mic I gotta have it, so I run up just to grab it,
Trying to kick my illest flow, I’m getting weird looks though,
I’m sure that it’s because I’m on stage at bingo,
But I just be like yo, what up the name’s Beckon,
I got a legs eleven and a lucky lucky seven,
So what you think about, maybe you and I stepping,
Up into your room so we can both unwrap this present.

Chorus
OOO EEE, that’s me, I’m an entertainer,
Barking out lines like a personal trainer,
From backyard parties to the Madison square,
Trying to make heads nod and put some hands in the air,
Said OOO EEE, that’s me, I’m an entertainer,
Barking out lines like a personal trainer,
From Perth City to the QLD,
I’m just trying to be your next favourite MC

I see the bartender, to help me get flexible,
I see the door girl, she takes care of the decimals,
I see the sound man, he takes care of the decibels,
And if I see you in the crowd, well I’ma make it memorable
What can I say that’s just the way that I’m wired,
Anytime I’m on this stage I’m trying to leave you inspired,
Feeling like I’ve been hired just to leave an impression,
So what some would call obsession is what I call my profession,
But don't get it twisted, I’m not saying I’m gifted
I am however saying that I am very persistent,
I have spent year’s straight working on my flows,
Just so i could get girls twerking at my shows,
But now I have friends trying to tell me that will never be,
I’m like you wait, i'ma get there eventually,
You can't twist fate, that's a self-fulfilling prophecy,
But one things for sure, those words won't be stopping me.

Chorus

I be that, type of dude chasing 00 status,
Selling out, playing week long shows out in Vegas,
Getting free meals thinking dam I really made it,
But still getting pissy if I’m not up on your playlist,
Wheezing on the track like my name was John Madden,
With that Middle Eastern background so call me Aladdin,
Get me near that stage only one thing will happen,
I’ma over complicate it like a female orgasm,
Fresher than the first edition, spreading like a superstition,
Better yet a new religion, well at least that is the mission,
Drowning in my own ambition in this privileged position,
Killing off the opposition so there is no competition,
Me on a verse, man you know it’s absurd,
I spend a week inside a cabin re-arranging my words,
I’m trying to spit that type of hype to get you high as a bird,
I learnt quality control from Mr Heizenberg.
