Original:  a first form from which varieties arise 
An authentic work of art as opposed to an imitation or reproduction 

Why should I try to sound like y’all sound 
That’s what’s wrong with the rap game right now 
Man, it’s like a circus wit a bunch of clowns 
Wit a bunch of clicks, I’ll probably rap circles around 

I spit heatrock and I ain’t talking rollin'
Soon as the beat knock, I’m crowd controlling 
When I hear y’all, that a awful sound 
I don’t ride beats, I take them off the ground 
Land them somewhere, show them the town 
Even on foreign ground, I let them know I’m around 
I don’t follow everybody when it’s time to rap 
At one time, everybody thought the world was flat 
Sounds like you, that was my intention 
I paid dues, now dudes pay attention 
I live for it, even though the flicks is hittin’ 
Cribs sick, you can see the booth from the kitchen 
Speak on it cause I saw it happen 
This is hip-hop, dawg 
I ain’t just rappin'
Y’all looking at a real MC 
Man, you couldn’t check a mic for me 

Why should I try to sound like y’all sound 
That’s what’s wrong wit the rap game right now 
Why should I try to flow the way y’all flow 
Or do a show like y’all show 
Naw, that ain’t where my head at now 
Y’all in the hip-hop Lost and Found 
Man, that’s wrong with the rap game right now 
It’s like a circus wit a bunch of clowns 
Wit a bunch of clicks 
I’ll probably rap circles around 

Let’s talk about rhyme capability 
Let’s talk about hip-hop versatility 
Let’s talk about taking the game beyond 
Now how the hell we gon' have a battle of wits 
Trick, you ain’t armed 
Let’s talk about love for the game 
I mean real love 
Back before there was fame 
I’m real wit it 
I ain’t claiming to reign 
But when y’all talk about rap 
Y’all gon' start saying my name 
For real though, I ain’t playin'
Plenty of y'’ll love a brotha, just scared to say it 
Yo, the first ever rap Grammy 
Let’s talk about the only reason yo ass went to Miami 
(Yup) truck wit rims (check), throw back Jersey (check) 
Champagne bottles (check) lot’s of models (check) 
Damn, that’s the list for 90% of y’all videos and songs 
Am I wrong?

Why should I try to sound like y’all sound 
That’s what’s wrong wit the rap game right now 
Why should I try to flow the way y’all flow 
Or do a show like y’all show 
Naw, that ain’t where my head at now 
Ya’ll in the hip-hop Lost and Found 
Man, that’s wrong with the rap game right now 
It’s like a circus wit a bunch of clowns 
Wit a bunch of clicks 
I’ll probably rap circles around 

LOST 
When you a slave to the biz 
Wit no care for the cost of what you sayin' to kids 
FOUND 
Is when ya lyrics are a test of time 
And your mom hear that your spirit is blessed divine 
LOST 
Is when you rhyme till your throat gets sore 
But you don’t even believe what you say no more 
FOUND 
Is when you bleed heart into the mic 
And the pain you sustain, it can change a life 
LOST 
Is when you hide behind the freedom of speech 
While sure you’re free to do it 
But what it mean to do it 
Did you mean to do it 
Did you need to do it 
Did you take time to think about the seeds you ruined 
FOUND is ESCO, Dead Prez and them 
FOUND is Lauren Hill 
FOUND is Rakim 
FOUND can be you 
If you felt the message and ask yourself this question 

Why should I try to sound like y’all sound 
That’s what’s wrong wit the rap game right now 
Why should I try to flow the way y’all flow 
Or do a show like y’all show 
Naw, that ain’t where my head at now 
Y’all in the hip-hop Lost and Found 
Man, that’s wrong with the rap game right now 
It’s like a circus wit a bunch of clowns 
Wit a bunch of clicks 
I’ll probably rap circles around
