Appetite for Distinction
Appetite Unleashed: A Raw Anthem of Perseverance and Rebellion
Lyrics
I am back with a vendetta
Returning with a strong desire for revenge
With that same hunger I had back
Rekindling the same passion I had in the past
In the day when my TV
When my TV had a hanger as an antenna
Had a hanger for an antenna.
Referencing a time of resourcefulness and making do with what was available
Y'all is just beginners.
Others are inexperienced compared to us
We been sweating through hot summers
We endured difficult times, both hot and cold
And frozen cold dinners.
Struggled through hardship
And now y'all ask
Curious about our success
What the fuck got in our shit.
Asking why our work is exceptional
You want to know, let me explain this.
Offering an explanation for our achievements
It's the same shit that we came with
Staying true to our roots
Back in 95 and built our name with.
Referencing the past, 1995, and establishing reputation
We maintained it and now your lame clique
We maintained our authenticity while others imitate
Want to come out of thin air
Newcomers trying to claim our success suddenly
Trying to claim this.
Attempting to take credit for our work
You see, you ain't shit
Dismissing the worth of newcomers
And just about through.
Nearing the end of their relevance
To all my peoples who was close to me,
Acknowledging loyal friends and supporters
To all my peoples who used to
Remembering those who were once close
Smile and toast to me,
Friends who celebrated successes with me
Those who boast with me,
Questioning why these friends aren't as connected as before
How come we ain't down
Expressing disappointment in relationships
Like we supposed to be?
Everything we got we got the hard way.
Accomplishments achieved through difficulty
Built it brick by brick our way.
Building success gradually, step by step
So put your hands up high.
Encouraging participation and support
I'm so fucking hungry,
Expressing intense desire and drive
I'm starving to death,
Metaphorically starving for success
Trying to eat until there's no food left.
Striving for success until there's no more to achieve
I'm so fucking hungry,
I'm starving to death,
Desire for success to the point of desperation
Trying to breathe until I got no breath.
Persistent pursuit of goals until exhaustion
I'm coming through putting dents in the game.
Asserting dominance in the industry
I'm sick and tired of all
Displeased with repetitive, unoriginal music
These wack bands all sound the same.
Frustrated with the lack of diversity in music
I should have rented your name,
Regretting not associating with inferior quality
I'm ending your 15 minutes of fame.
Ending the short-lived fame of others
I'm here now...
Asserting presence and readiness for change
Things will change.
Asserting change will happen
A rock and roll singer with a rap mentality.
Blending rock and rap influences
It's your fault, y'all did this,
Attributing change in style to external influence
Y'all brought this out of me.
Others responsible for the emergence of this style
Doubtin' me ain't ever got
Disbelief in doubters, proving them wrong
No one nothing but proved wrong,
Experience in the field for a considerable time
I been doing this here, sonny, for too long.
Longevity and dedication to the craft
This is the sound of your world coming down.
Indicating a major change or downfall in the established order</
