Staircase to Stage

[Hook x2]
"From staircase to stage, minimum wage
But soon to get an article in rap page"

[Verse 1: Jehst]
I lost hope, tokin' a hot roach
Breathe in the black smoke
Treatin' these raps like a bad joke
Mad broke, savin' up coppers in a glass jar
For a bag full of dope and a crate load of spava
My flow is like a crow bar to a fast car
I'm joyridin' 'til I get to where the stars are
Bling blingin' like Zsa Zsa'a rings
But your funny, haha, like Jahjah Binks
I've rocked the same faded Carhartt since '94
Still hungover from the night before
Head bangin' like thrash metal
Fuck gettin' sucked in by the candy like Hansel and Gretal
Leavin' mans unsettled by the way that I drop
Fuck a foot in the door, I'll be breakin' the lock and takin' the lot
So don't get in the way of my props
I'm stayin' hardcore, while you're playin' the pop star
But what for?! I'm not sure
A couple of bottles of wine and Calvin Klein in your sock draw
Thinkin' you got yours, nowadays hip-hop's a lost cause
Fuck rappin'! I'd rather mop floors or flip burgers
Than pay these hypocrites my lip service
Spliff burnin' 'til we turn into sick hermits
All-city like bus permits when I drop rough verses
Flingin' fakes in a hot furnace
Stop actin' like your not nervous
On wax, I've got a body of work like rock circus
Fuck tags! I leave my name in the crop circles
I run tracks 'cause I learnt how to hop hurdles

[Verse 2: J-Zone]
Yo, fuck a job! All I do is rest and dress
Tags writin' of rubbers when I drop my next cassette
Head raps beefin', bring the mad cow on
Zone echos off your dome like the Shut 'em Down horns
Wack demos find a place in my trash can (Remember that)
Right next to the Swizz Beats instrumental DAT
They say I'm weak and a rookie?
OK! That's why your mother rocks a bra with a hoodie
Picture me doin' a backspin, or pullin' a MAC-10
(I've been rappin' since the golden age, man)
Shit! You was wack then
Who cares about Gazelles, deep crews and fades?
2G is the same, I throw boos and eggs
At the show, she got mad 'cause I ain't talkin' about upliftment
My bad, I was checkin' where that big booty chick went
But I'm broke, so I'm done with hoes
I need a cheque that looks digital with 1's and 0's
Maybe I should get a job, spittin' at co-workers
I'm lookin' up blouses, but not clickin' mouses and cursors
Yo, Harry, I heard you look like Little Richard
Tell 'em all (Fuck off!) 'cause I'm (Bloody wicked!)
