lirik lagu little mase - sharpen your sword
(intro)
yeah it’s little mase this song is my story up until now and some advise to all you new artists out there, listen close hope you learn something
(verse 1)
it was may 2011 when i jumped into this game
i was sick of lil wayne and came to express disdain
thought that i could make a change in the culture i adored
it was in my heart and brain but i brandished a dull sword
i was unaware of local acts fighting in the trenches
with the training that my vocals lacked but see i was a dense kid
i thought that i was dope and that n0body was iller
in reality i had a punch or two and lots of filler
but i got up attained guts was taught stuff and trained months
of my lifе till my knife was sharpened now thе blade cuts
i made a few friends in this community
learned to spit sick and stay true to me
not concerned with jewellery only bettering my craft
studied nga ender and other veterans of rap
in a year i was lifa rocked with casper in a cypher
but still was just a student working hard to become tighter
(chorus)
had the passion, but i lacked in, other aspects
so i had to put the work in and start
sharpening my sword years of sharpening my sword
once i got it razor sharp i went and sharpened it some more
cause theres always room to grow
thinking not is juville
practice and perfect your sk!lls don’t just follow dudes who blow
and start sharppening your sword spend years sharpening your sword
once you get it razor sharp don’t stop sharpening it more
(bridge)
yeah see as an artist you’ve got to realize there’s always room for improvement. and no matter how dope you think you are you ain’t sh~t. you gotta know you ain’t sh~t to ever be sh~t, you gotta know where to shoot for you know what i mean
(verse 2)
fast forward to 2013 while im building the foundation
i was in a rush to release as i hadn’t yet found patience
making multi schemes with punches at that point was second nature
and while yes that step is major more was still needed to mature
my delivery was bland lacking flavour and emotion
plus i did only a few takes for each track so they wernt potent
writing hot 16 are one thing recording them is different
my mc evolution went from newly born to infant
kept my distance for a little bit to resharpen the blade
worked on mixing in the lab which i started to upgrade
and from there a cycle started of a stronger mase emerging
with the bars raised every single time for quality of verses
(chorus)
had the passion, but i lacked in, other aspects
so i had to put the work in and start
sharpening my sword years of sharpening my sword
once i got it razor sharp i went and sharpened it some more
cause there’s always room to grow
thinking not is juvenile
practice and perfect your sk!lls don’t just follow dudes who blow
and start sharpening your sword spend years sharpening your sword
once you get it razor sharp don’t stop sharpening it more
(verse 3)
if you choose to walk this road i hope you learn from my mistakes
like til a projects in your hands do not announce it or give dates
i know its got you hyped you want to talk about it bad
but it just makes you look sad when that day comes and it’s late
tis fate that it will happen like collabs that never do
so present fans with the present not events ahead of you
that would be a better move just like learning other sk!lls
cause a one track mind with anything is surely what’ll k!ll
there’s promotion engineering vidiography and more
that will help you cut your cost to a point where you can score
also invest in the gear you need and sk!lls that you don’t got
cause if you won’t pay for your craft then of course others won’t shop
and do not release a record till your happy with your bars
build the biggest network you can for the day that you tour far
you can meet these cats online but don’t forget your local scene
and only rap because you love it not because you hope for grene
(chorus)
had the passion, but i lacked in, other aspects
so i had to put the work in and start
sharpening my sword years of sharpening my sword
once i got it razor sharp i went and sharpened it some more
cause there’s always room to grow
thinking not is juvenile
practice and perfect your sk!lls don’t just follow dudes who blow
and start sharpening your sword spend years sharpening your sword
once you get it razor sharp don’t stop sharpening it more
(outro)
don’t ever stop striving for more there’s always room for improvement remember that
