| Everybody swore that last year was mine, everything was lined up
|
| Thought that I would sign to MMG and join the line up
|
| Thought that I would go to Universal out with Nigel
|
| Hit me and then he acted all bitchy but never mind ‘em
|
| I went to Violator, took a couple meetings
|
| Started fucking with Chris Lighty ‘cause he could see it
|
| And we were working with ‘em on this tape that we releasing
|
| Then he took his own life the day that we were supposed to meet up
|
| Rest in peace, rest in peace, I’mma get it
|
| For the simple fact that a legend’ll believe
|
| I’mma get it ‘cause me winning’s the only way I’mma grieve
|
| And this year, all my people gon' eat
|
| And they gon' see that I’m the best in my era, the best in this era
|
| You dickriders really that impressed with this era?
|
| There hasn’t been a classic album yet in this era
|
| Matter of fact, I don’t have any respect for this era
|
| On my second passport with no deal, I’m so real
|
| I tell you hoes how a duffle bag of dough feel
|
| And this year, I want a hundred grand a show
|
| Yeah, I’m about to call up Mitch, I see him and I let him know
|
| That the show price rising, verse price rising
|
| Shining so much that I ain’t gotta buy diamonds
|
| Brighty on my wrist and I ain’t even fucking wind it
|
| So I check my phone if you ask me what the time is
|
| I been to Paris, been to London, been to Barcelona
|
| I lost some family to guns, some to carcinoma
|
| I lost some family to greed and ambition
|
| And I lost a lot of money paying for my ex tuition
|
| But the only thing she learned is I will not be burned
|
| Went from telling her «I love you» to «give the homie a turn», right?
|
| I’m not concerned with your lists or your ratings
|
| ‘Cause rappers gotta die ‘fore you say that they the greatest
|
| So we be getting high, lying low
|
| What you consider living, we thinking is dying slow
|
| You be chasing women I ain’t even tryna know
|
| Over vixens, over hoes, some bitches overexposed
|
| Now I’m sitting on a flight out, living in the night
|
| And the minute that I land, I’m hitting women in the Heights
|
| For the right amount of money, homie, any wrong is right
|
| And I ain’t never ran away from a fight, hell no
|
| I’m from the murder capital of New York State
|
| Where they don’t murder for capital, they murder for play, right?
|
| I ain’t patient, I don’t never stay and wait
|
| And my guilt and loyalty, they got an expiration date, yeah
|
| Young and Latin, bringing the back of the map in
|
| With a lot of my people up out of the evil
|
| They riding around in the Aston with the cash all in the back end
|
| With a bad chick with an accent and I been in the middle
|
| Of getting and never again am I never gon' have shit
|
| No shame, no regret and I’ve never been living in debt
|
| And I’ve never been given respect and I’ve never been willing to bend
|
| Or bid to pretend to getting ahead and get into bed with them
|
| In the hopes to getting the dough to give them my rent
|
| I turn my drug dealer friends into art dealers
|
| And I’m the king, kiss the ring, you could start kneeling
|
| And we be in the fucking city, cars squealing
|
| Off in the convertible Beamers that got the hard ceiling
|
| Yo, fuck a rubber, I’mma feel her when I bang her out
|
| I’m saving money, I’m investing in my back account
|
| I’m in Caracas in the Winter, I be tanning now
|
| While all you bitches do is stand around
|
| And I ain’t never going broke, I’m never going broke
|
| Once my lady get that Birkin, she ain’t never going coach
|
| Fuck a yes man, all we ever say is no
|
| Ain’t no stopping us when everything a go, yeah |
