Been Use Ta Songtext
von DJ Shadow

It′s the N-O-T-O-R-I-O
U-S, you just lay down slow

The flows are bein' copied to Kinko′s
Kinda like Vegas did to Reno
But it's only one Push Tarantino
The only gun in the room held by a gringo
Cinco de Mayo, powder to the pyro
Sing a lullaby to you stans like I'm Dido
It′s proven suicidal
When you turn your idols into rivals
My brother turned a brick into a Bible

Hov turned Apple into title
Tom Brady still throwin′ spirals
The Bulls' legacy is all Michael′s
Kawhi blackin' out in the Finals
You witnessin′ the best of all cycles, yeah


I been used to playin' in the shadows
I-I been, I-I been, I been, I-I-I been used to playin′ in the shadows
E-E-E-Every snake doesn't have a rattle
I been used to playin' in the shadows
I-I been, I-I been, I been, I-I-I been used to playin′ in the shadows
E-E-E-Every snake doesn′t have a rattle
I been used to playin' in the shadows
Every snake doesn′t have a rattle

But every handgun has a barrel

For snitch niggas signin' with the gavel
P-P-P-Porsche 911 when I paddle
Baby calf leather on the saddle

These Cartier wrists got me shackled
The shipment is sealed with the vacuum

For twenty-plus shows, you with the crack, dude
It′s like a second language when it's natural
Two hundred thousand on my clavicle
I show it off cruisin′ down your avenues
Mama said there won't be another after you
And everyone that came before was only half of you
Jealousy breeds hate, you know what that'll do
Set me off and have these bullets chasin′ after you
Push


I been used to playin′ in the shadows
I-I been, I-I been, I been, I-I-I been used to playin' in the shadows
E-E-E-Every snake doesn′t have a rattle
I been used to playin' in the shadows
I-I been, I-I been, I been, I-I-I been used to playin′ in the shadows
