Look, I'm more than a rapper
And the sh** is something to see
They call me "The Present" but I won't fit up under a tree
I'm more than a spitter
Cause spitter's won't spit what you need
And this is liver than saliva, see I ain't spitting I bleed
I'm more than an artist, cause artist's paint pictures that you can see
And these are words
But they're more like images you can read
I'm more than a freestyle cat or an MC
I make people relate till they saying that him is me
And Stim is weed, Stim is crack, Stim is 'cane
Stim is Rakim, LL, Slick Rick of today
I got you feeling like a kid knowing Christmas is on the way
I know when folks is sleeping, I know when they're awake
You can feel every song like you feeling it at a wake
What I'm giving you is more than a verse, it's an act of faith
It's a testimony, a sermon, a ceremony reversing the hate
You was feeling, I'm just truth exposing a purpose
I'm halfway, almost too damn perfect
More than a messiah, like my momma was a virgin
Huh?
See, I inspired a nation and Represent like X and Y in equations
sh** is more than a hustle
Cause hustles have beginnings and ends
And I'm immortal, this is for my sons and daughters to spin
It's more than an album I'm working on, cause this is not work
Cause this is my career
I'm 'bout to shed a tear
I'm more than a thug rapper gripping on his toast
And pops helps me so some rhymes are ghost written by a ghost
I'm more than who you raising as the nicest, is he close
To making you get the shiver when you listen to his quotes?
Are you driving to his sh** and doing 90 on the road?
Are you following his journeys are you following where he goes?
Are you just too cool? You don't wanna be a fan
Am I too complex? You don't wanna understand
You can find me in the Source magazine on the stands
This month motherf**er, got Biggie on the cover
Right now is December, if you hearing this later
Then I'm addressing the future, but the present is the greatest
I am more than a flower
I am here to save the birds, and the pigeons and the cats that don't listen
I'm like Noah
I travel over water, I survived the flood
Of all these non-descript gimmicky n***as that dudes love
I'm more than nice, I'm generous, I'm kind as f**
Same time I'm inconsiderate, my mind is stuck
On being more than you thought that I was
I elevate
Everyday I try to be much better than yesterday
Never say never but I'll say that you won't ever
Find somebody that embodies the elements of the weather
The rain, the sun, the pain, joy put all together
If the game is at it's worst, well then it's got to get better
They call me S to the T.I
M to the U.L
Y'all dudes is actors
Go and shoot yourself like Plaxico, I'm gone man
I'm more than you thinking man. More than what you see. S.T.I
