[Cormega]
I killed her with +The Realness+ now I'm bringin new life
Prestige is an illusion people tend to lose sight
I will always be Cory, youngest child of Dorothy
My brown eyes mirrors the pure ferocity
I slung to eat, held my first heat with curiousity
Slept with it, rep with it, streets empower me
I came from curses, cuffs, and suede Pumas
To painting slums as visual as James Evans Jr.
I became a criminal when few though I wasn't
My shot wounds, my birthmarks
A thug injustice
Aint with the Yanks
The quarters not working I question my purpose in life
It must be to write, son I'm very determined
I child of the ghetto like a very young Sherman
Breed not molded, the chosen upholding
Unwritten laws of those behind walls closed in, picture me rollin
But don't look at me differently on the strengh that I'm holdin
This is Mega you never heard my chain got stolen
I pitch like Randy Johnson
Dudes needed work I assist like Magic Johnson
Before rap my name was ringing in the projects
We took the block and props off every gram cooked rap game
And change gon' come like Sam Cook
And Big didn't give the crown up and this means
His unwilling departure still makes him king
Cor-Mega, RAW forever, still born in Bedstuy, never ran never will
My life is very real a tri-beam couldn't measure my skill
The True Meaning+ who wanna bring it, I'm right here...
The lyrics INTROSPECTIVE of CORMEGA is also present in the album The true meaning (2002)
