“Reign Delay”
(A. Pascoe, S. Kelly)

Verse 1

I don’t mean to be a bubble busser
A sunlight snatcher
A rain tarp slinger
Or bring harm to ya
Just came to drop a line
You know brainstorm
When others try to call it off you gotta play ball
Here’s an example
Just look what I did
I built a roster
My whole team slid
I had a choice, I could of shot the shit and sat around
But I chose different man-
Myself I had to rally round
More than a couple hits
Its time to bat around
And now I got the illest pitcher standing on the mound
Fresh up out the dug out
Never blew a save
A lot of players get bugged out when it’s time to win the game
‘Cuz it’s bigger than the business
Of match-ups, statistics
The talent you’re given, if passion is missing
A mere pastime
Well, that’s what this isn’t
Had to go extra innings
Just to see what it was hittin’ for
‘Cuz desire never shows up in the box score
But it separates an error from a double play
Infield hit, could’ve stopped half way
The hard luck player, from the hall-of-famer
It should make you sleep thinking how to step your game up
If not, then you probably took the easy way out
And you not gonna reach the spot you dreaming about
And I’m not gonna stop til’ you readin’ about
All the championship rings that I keep at my house

But you wouldn’t know about that dawg. Let me try to explain…

Chorus

Matic young Dre dawg
Artist of rap
Sound foundation
Arcka be that
When we drop skill, spill, water the track
Growthi n the music, resurgence is back
With no delay we continue to reign
Seasons they change, realness will remain
With no delay we continue to reign
Seasons they change, realness will remain
With no delay we continue to reign
Seasons they change, realness will remain

Verse 2

They wanna know will I manage
Dawg, ain’t no reason to doubt
Still rep my farm team during seasons of drought
This is business
Reason why I keep it so refreshed
My flow so refreshed
Taking bolder steps
On the base path
Moving according to signs
Not out of bounds, its fair down the line
To say my hustle brought us back from behind
Put ‘em on with the single
The squad know I-
Come with real black images
The R.B.I.’s
Driven home my position
Now forced to conclude
To win-
Play like there’s nothing to lose cuz-
Worst comes to worst
End of the day
They never showed up?...
Worst thing you can say about a teammate
In any arena
Certain principles are given
I guess some just didn’t get it
As a closer
I’ll leave you with a word about composer
Don’t anticipate defeat
Believe it’s over when it’s over
So let the games behind
Check for me in October

Chorus
