(Intro) Thank you for listening to Simply Put, if there can be only one, lemme be the one, but I hope there can be more than one, cause while I’m the one and only, I’m not the only one

(Verse 1)
In Hip-Hop, if I don’t scratch your back, you don’t scratch mine/
Guess we just lottery tickets, that wasn’t snatch right?/
Looking for that rap prize/ but couldn’t spend a coin/
For the Game we enjoy/ to make sure we damn buy/ (yup!)
Rather than take a chance, and end up like that trap guy/
We’ll watch, like Eminem and wave Stan(d) by(e)/
May be Nas call it like a land line/ when the rap game/ remind you
Of the Crack game/ pushing keys in between them damn lines/
Right into that paper, to see if you got the six numbers/
To make enough like Jay, to hold you down for six summers/
Then you quick wonder/ where’s the love?
Cause even dot.gov wanna piece, you gotta tax the thugs/
You may even need a crew to pitch in to a common pot/
And have to use all your senses, like Common got/
Cause whether lottery or Hip-Hop, they both mean nothing/
If you’re content with your god-given something/ but…

(Hook) (X2)
Lemme be the one you run to/
Lemme be the one who loves you/

(Verse 2)
If you got the wrong ears, hope the message don’t reach you/
Like a drone strike in Mogadishu/ the Pope now seeks you/
To wrap the Messiah in Keffiyeh, laid in the manager/
As a Jewish king, God may always be a stranger/
Perhaps the Holy Spirit is a polyglot/ something that we hardly thought/
Let that swirl in your mind like a lollipop/
We on the set of a Bolly plot/ Colorful, seeing all the ways
Our creator was oddly sought/ like the lime
In a body shot/ it ain’t about what we get/
Its about who we met/ when we were just a shoddy slob/ oh golly gosh!/
Did I do that? Did it end up on Instagram? /
It made me who I am, could I even take it back? /
Don’t believe those who defend the NSA/ when they say/
Don’t do nothing wrong, then you got nothing to hide away/
Cause the truth is, we all have stuff we wish others didn’t know/
But God’s love, sisters and brothers, is like a mother who phones…

(Hook) (X4)
