Lifesavas

[CHORUS]
Ill keep this brief its nice to meet you
Though I cant get past your ego
I never hold a grudge cause love is the way
Hello hi hey...anyway
When we do talk then I get sucked into
Introductions to your ego
Youre rubbing me the wrong way
Hello hi hey...anyway
[VERSE 1: Vursatyl]
Hey yo peace Vursatyl
Hey whats up dude
Yo my name is Brian but my MC name is Catapult (oh word?)
Word my crew is called the Cannibals (ah cool)
Yeah were 30 deep and each members a mutant culmination of six animals
See each MC is simultaneously (okay) six creatures, thats six styles with six features
Man were the wild kingdom of hip hop...
Okay! Hey! Its nice to meet you but Im just about to go on stage...
Right, well, speaking of stages were the latest phase in hip hop
And I mean face it..hip hop sucks without us
And were the best that bust and best at touching the mic
I mean I like how yall do (thank you)
But we on some new next level complexity, tarzan telepathy, organic especially
Me see Im kinda like the leader..
Damn, I wasnt knowin!
Well, you sleepin on a heater..
Nah, I aint never been the type to sleep...
Me either!
And that reminds me, we just recorded 90 new treats (uh huh)
Our 15 CD box set is finally complete (whoa..)
And did I fail to mention also I do beats on my Playstation 2
And Ive comprised the hi-fidelity medley supreme stream a heater beat you wont believe Im even makin mu...
Hold up cat, beats you makin for me?
No doubt, wait til you see!
Now why you doing that man?
Cmon Vurs, man you my favorite MC, next to me
Cause these MCs are losers! (crumbs!)
They just some wannabe bunch of me broken boosers (bums!)
Word thats true and even my crew
The truth is without me those dudes are borderline useless
Which brings me to my solo LP, my new website, my summer tour (wow)
My cameos and collaborations with some obscure artists.. (shh..)
Its hard to harness this much talent (yeah Ill bet)
Cmon Vurs man you should know youre a vet
And by the way whens the next time yall playin?
Well besides tonight I think its uh...
Uh huh right like I was sayin
Im nice and if you got some advice on points Im missin my ears are open
Alright listen..
[CHORUS]
[VERSE 2: Vursatyl]
None of this is concocted
Its not pretend
Honest depictions of what I comprehend as a parent arrogant
And Ive got a friend that sometimes gets into (phone rings)...hold up this might be him
Hello?
Hi is Erb there?
This him
Hey whats up with you bro?
Loungin man
Long time no hear from
Yeah I know
Man I just flew in last night
I caught yall show
I could of had that slot but they was fakin on the dough
Word?
Yeah they fronted
Well we just wanna get heard
Well yeah yall should settle
I keep forgetting yall aint on my level
And so many are not quite
The MC that I am I guess its lonely at the top right? (well, yeah I guess)
Man its hard being the best
These MCs get pissed cause next to me they almost dont exist
No diss but who can really say that theyve gone where Ive gone
Or play where Ive played
Or that theyve done what Ive done
Stay where Ive stayed
Sold what Ive sold
And done close
Yeah the nerve of some folks
Yeah and even yall cant compare
Yall startin to swell
But a cameo from me would really boast your record sales
Mm...well we kinda tryin to build with these cats from round the way
Man dont tell me that you feel them paperweight so-called rhymers I can make or break
Hold me, eternal gratitude, show me respect
And ask any record store
People might buy your album but its really me that they checkin for
Ive seen it once or a hundred times
[phone rings...]
Hold up folks I got somebody on the other line
[CHORUS REPRISE]
Though were good friends it never ends
Your self destructive massive ego
I never hold a grudge cause love is the way
Hello hi hey...anyway
Youve gone too far
Its just the way you are
Hope that doesnt scar your ego
Youre rubbing me the wrong way
Hello hi hey..anyway
[VERSE 3: Vursatyl]
Vur-sa-tyl
I must be tired Im hearing voices
Its me Vurs the one who interferes in your choices
Wait, who are you?
Now see there thats the treat
Ive been known as arrogant
To sometimes conceit
Self-absorbed, self-centered
Im cocky, vein
Stuck up, proud, pompous, other vulgar names
Im closely associated to fame and success (alright)
But Im a part of everybodys thoughts more or less
Im just confidence misconstrued as something evil
Alright get to the point man...who are you?
Your ego
Nah I play the humble (true)
I watch my words close
My rep proceeds me
You never heard Erb boast
Hold it
Need I remind you of the clever
Kid rhyming backstage in your ear forever?
Yeah, so?
And what about the call from your friend?
Who was kinda jaded, kinda dissed you at the end?
Now what you getting at?
That was us
Us who?
Me and you
Man we were that kid Vurs
Nah man!
Its true!
I never sweat other rhymers!
I never diss my troopers!
Well that kid was our past
And that friend could be our future
Nah you got me twisted
Ego trips dont concern me!
Chill Vurs those were just stages on your journey
I mean you are dope
Stop it man
[Vurs is hearing voices...]
I mean youre the best rapper
I mean really
Just think about it man
No one can touch you
I mean youre better than all the other MCs out there
Ahhhhhhhhh!!!
[CHORUS REPRISE 2]
How can this be?
I finally see
That it was me who had the ego
Please dont hold a grudge cause love is the way
Hello hi hey...anyway
Swallow my pride
Now that Im wise
Sincerely I apologize
For rubbing you the wrong way
Hello hi hey...anyway
