Syndication Soldier - Everlast

Here we are, my friend

Once again I’m inclined to rhyme on time

So won’t you lend me your ear

Cause it’s clear to this here has no peer

And if this song was the blues, you’d be sheddin a tear

Like a baby, maybe I shoulda held back

Some of you look shocked, I guess you couldn’t tell that

I was here to drop knowledge, college is irrelevant

My next move to prove I’m smooth but still intelligent

Expressin lessons with sheer precision

First hear me out, then make a decision

On whether Everlast knows what time it is

Does this song belong in the rhymin biz?

Yes, I think so cause I’m a pioneer

Blazin the trail across a new frontier

I go the length and grow in strength as I get older

Cause I’m a Syndicate soldier

All affections left behind

There’s two more gears to grind

Before I’m through I’m sure that you will find

A new respect for the rhymes I inject

Through your eardrum, don’t play dumb, just let me get to

The point of my address, unless you fear you can’t cope

This song is on the tables to make you dance, so

Get up, and if you don’t leave the premises

I’m newly recruited, so you can call me a Genesis

Born to perform and please a large crowd of

People at night until my (?)

A scandalous brother known for bein treacherous

A sucker made a move and that’s the reason Fletcher was

Forced to put his head out, he got too close to me

Two by my side and that’s how it’s 'posed to be

These are my brothers and they been around me

Since back in the days when the Syndicate found me

They are the people deserve enough credit

As my name gained fame they made sure I wouldn’t let it

Go to my head, instead I keep my feet down

Unlike suckers from the past I beat down

Their fatal mistake was to break on my confidence

Overall their fall was due to over-confidence

As we go their egos all start acting with up

With statements of greatness their rhymes aren’t backing up

Talking louder as they get bolder

But there’s no defense against a Syndicate soldier

As we reach the final stage some think I’ll engage

In a conflict that’s sick with violent rage

I gain fame from my name Everlast

How long can this hype about a devil last?

It started as fun but everyone took it serious

Now it seems I’m seen as delirious

That’s ok, I’ll stay underated

And good things will come to all that have waited

To the brother of a lighter skin to begin

Droppin knowledge with weight cause you rate paper thin

Science is one thing, knowledge is another

What do I mean when I say that I’m a brother?

Being a brother is a state of mind

For all those who chose to remain unblind

I grow in wisdom as I get older

That’s right, I’m white and I’m a syndicate soldier
