Clothes on a Mannequin |
Ladies and gentlemen |
I’d like to welcome everybody |
Please take your seats |
Please be seated |
We have a great show lined up for everybody tonight |
Special guest in the house tonight |
Joe Budden, J. Cardim |
Let’s…GO |
A wise man said we all wear a mask |
At times keepin it on is too much of a task |
Your face on the net, and your life’s on blast |
It might slip off, you gotta give me a pass |
Sometimes I feel like a man again |
But how they dress me don’t make me the man I am |
Nah the woes dont hamper him |
They just lookin' at the clothes on a mannequin |
Look, look, look |
I want the best cars and the best flow |
I want the best broads thats how that go |
[I mean I want to be a star and collect dough |
But even if I had it all it’d be just for show] |
I want the diamonds to make my neck glow |
Lust for the next ho a love will never let go |
I want to run along from my shortcomings |
But I smoke so my breath gonna be short running |
I want to be in control, hands on |
If I’m the pilot then we will never land wrong |
But I want to have faith, stayin' strong |
Take the first step when I ain’t got a leg to stand on |
I got a lot to give but I want more |
With numb thoughts, positive but I’m unsure |
On the misplace, getaway and its disarray |
And yall don’t know the man just what he put on display |
I’m too annoyed to cope, tryna make a livin |
Given I dont think that being a dope boy is dope |
Out of every story, only 2 end in glory |
Who am I to think I’m different than every hustler before me? |
If I took my anger, became a gangbanger |
I would aim to aim my anger at every stranger |
Shawty wanna leave, honestly I can’t blame her |
Say the ones you love the most are always in the most danger |
I talk a little slower so you have to hear |
Dead man walkin, no tatted tears |
Or realest to ever do it, cavalier |
Hundred thousand dollar car, with rabbit ears |
I don’t welcome change even if it help 'em gain |
Fuck a handout, I’d rather be self contained |
L.V. |
everything, lookin' well arranged |
Y’all would never know that I’m practicing self restraint |
I been different, never mind I’m just indifferent |
Ain’t an old timer that would blame it on a skin pigment |
Is it my imagination or a slim figment? |
Origins ig’nant, probably why im indignant |
Look at haters like 'why is it an issue?' |
Is it because I’m sober but I’m on a high they can’t get to? |
God that was rid’culed fightin with his pride and his pit’ful |
Guide I was lied as a kid too |
Cursin' God out «why he decide to pick dude?» |
I big bulls but when I try its abyssmal |
Die and keepin everythin inside me a riddle |
But they blinded by the condo size and it’s sick view |
Whys, try and answer the whys |
What good is havin eyes when everything you look at you despise? |
[can |
Anybody hear me?] |
Or do you need ears when you dont believe anything you hear? |
Maybe it’s just something in the air |
