| First things first, I just — got through, goin through |
| This ordeal, dealin with deals, you know the deal |
| I’ve dealt with, bein dealt dirty, downsized |
| And duped, done double-paid my dues, for real |
| I just — know today’s degree, C lesson |
| Not nowadays, can a record label fool me |
| So the understanding’ll be 'The Best Part' |
| No need to guess how this rocky road was meant to be |
| I just — got home from a long tour |
| Seashore to seashore, J-Life of the party |
| So, even if I’m unknown back home (say what) |
| Step out of the time zone, these folks came to see me! |
| I just — grab the mic, jump on the stage |
| Soak up the crowd, hittin 'em with page after page of |
| Blood, sweat, tears, saliva, sperm, snot |
| Shit, piss, throw-up, everything I GOT! |
| I just — let it all out, give it all back |
| Like I got it, why? |
| Cause I got it like that |
| I’ve been spotted by those that recognize the fact that |
| God is still black and bullshit is still wack! |
| (wack!) |
| PEACE, Y’ALL! |
| (PEACE Y’ALL) |
| PEACE, Y’ALL! |
| (PEACE Y’ALL) |
| PE-DA-DEE-DA-DEE-DA-DEE-DA-DEECE, Y’ALL! |
| (PEACE Y’ALL) |
| PE, DA-DEE, PE-PE, DA-DEE |
| PE-DA-DEE-DA-DEE-DA-DEE-DA-DEECE, Y’ALL! |
