lyrics

Emcee (Millz)
Emcee (Millz)
Emcee (Millz)
Emcee (Millz)

This be E-M-C-Double E to the M-I-Double L-Z
How can I
Explain to the simpletons
I ain't met a rapper I ain't better than
The emcee in my name ain't just a pseudonym
I mean that wholeheartedly
Partially offended that you thought I could be tested
By some rappers that don't even write their lyrics (ha)
Quick to use their digits for assistance with their weak flows
I peep those holes in your storyboard like it's plinko
BINGO!
Cause the way that the stars aligning
It could blackout, and this Black child would still outshine em
In a black cloud, my black mouth the silver lining
The best out, only superlatives can describe it (look)
Hold up, man cut the beat for a minute
I started off with acapellas spitting vicious lines,
dripping in my driveway
Sun beating my face
Recording on an iPhone 6 outside my place
Had nothing but a dream
Freestyling on IG just for fun
But now the funds is adjusting my pocket lining
The timing is nothing short of impeccable
That's why when I say my name I expect respect to flow
Had to go
Off for a minute
Nothing close to being timid
Had the tunnel vision even when the light was dimming
That's the difference!
It's Emcee Millz up in it
Glad you got to witness
Imma show you all exactly who the kid is
This is

E-M-C-Double E
M-I-Double L-Z
Emcee Millz
(Ooohh ohh oh oh)
Emcee Millz
(Yeahhh)
E-M-C-Double E
M-I-Double L-Z
Emcee Millz
(Ohh ooohh oh oh oh oh)
Emcee Millz
(Yeahhh yeah yeah)

Emcee Millz
Is more than a collection of letters that put together make my stage name
Emcee Millz represent the hometeam
Homies been calling me Millz
Since I was still in high school only playing the field
Now I'm playing gigs with the name they gave me
Crazy
They believed in me before I could
That's why Millz represent the whole neighborhood
Making sure the ones who held me down gonn be up for good
Cause I came to make a difference not a name for myself
I ain't enter in this industry for wealth
I wanted to vent about what I went through
And maybe make enough to not be worried when the rent due
So I grab my pencil
And put my pen to palm then post my thoughts on paper
Then I press record and let you play it back for later
Nothing greater than seeing my name in the lights
I wanna be recognized for my life holistically
And not just certain pages
Emcee Millz ain't the persona, it's the person
Don't overlook Amelia while you're searching
Between all the lines that I tend to rhyme
Together they serve a deeper purpose
Emcee Millz is who's beneath the surface

E-M-C-Double E
M-I-Double L-Z
Emcee Millz
(Ooohh ohh oh oh)
Emcee Millz
(Yeahhh)
E-M-C-Double E
M-I-Double L-Z
Emcee Millz
(Ohh ooohh oh oh oh oh)
Emcee Millz
(Yeahhh yeah yeah)
