MACHIAVELLI |
Yeah |
SAVEMONEY shit |
Uh, back to reclaim my throne |
I’m the prince of the city, young Machiavelli |
Staged my own death, outwitted my adversaries |
From the land of Larry Hoover where they bury shooters |
I’m shining hard, Stanley Kubrick, we don’t live by the law |
Two-time felony charge, gun-toting |
Smoke 'em like Lamar, ball like a young Odom |
Where crack hit the Chi the same year as Michael Jordan |
My trap phone got more rings than Robert Horry |
I got a story make Shakespeare say that’s tragic |
Speak my mind, I got a bad habit |
Became a hazard to my health like Corona to an asthmatic |
I Roc like the old Jay but I’m a backstabber 'cause I un’d myself |
I got better shit on albums I shelfed than shit that you went platinum off |
Too fly for my own good, it’s my albatross |
I’m a beast boy, I just love to self-sabotage |
Pussy niggas talking down, vagina monologue |
I ain’t running, but I’m tired of y’all |
I could call Farrakhan or I could get you tatted |
On the limbs of your friends, have 'em crying like Kavanaugh |
Back on my bully, don’t be a matador |
This ain’t no red flag, shooters in red rags, looters in Hermes |
Mask on, you still see I’m the future |
But I had to learn not to judge a man by his past, so that’s all I ask |
Uh, young Machiavelli |
Still alive across the belly |
Uh, lemme get it back |
Uh, Lake Shore Drive with the top back, rocking Y Project |
With my ride or die bitch, nigga where The Lox at |
Had so many conflicts, that shit got crucial |
I was really fighting for freedom like Desmond Tutu |
Shit is like apartheid if you seen the South Side |
No upward mobility, they got niggas paralyzed |
Paper Planes snapback, shout to Em and Ty Ty |
Yeah, I did a rock album, that’s cause I’m a rock star |
I’m from where the Moes push rocks like the tomb of Jesús |
To put new 22's on they coupe, selling D, ducking 12 |
Undercovers looking for Proof, I push off the roof like Bishop in Juice |
A window in my reality, two-parent household from an immigrant family |
Middle-class salaries on 47th Street by the Stones |
Where they move white out the house same block as Obama’s home |
Uh, born alone, die alone, it’s still SAVEMONEY |
I take that to the grave with me |
The game’s funny, a nigga went from robbing in the hood |
To the Robin Hood of Englewood, I’m feedin' niggas |
They produced these circumstances by beatin' niggas |
Mistreatin' and misleadin' niggas |
We the niggas jumped ship, did some underwater breathin', nigga |
Why I gotta live my death 'fore they believe a nigga? |
Still alive |
Alive, yeah yeah |
Still alive |
Alive, yeah yeah |
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) |
Alive, yeah yeah |
I’m still alive |
I’m still alive |
