| You motherfuckers better do your job and roll up and watch how we roll up and | 
| I can’t control it, can’t hold it, it’s so nuts | 
| I take a sip of that yak, I wanna fuck | 
| I take a hit of that chronic, it got me stuck | 
| But really what’s amazing is how I keep blazing | 
| Towel under the door smoke until the days end | 
| Puff, puff then pass, don’t fuck up rotation | 
| Hpnotic for Henny, now nigga that’s your chaser | 
| Turn nothin to something now pimpin’that’s a savior | 
| Best things are green now pimp and get your paper | 
| High off the ground instead of skyscraper | 
| Too low thinkin’we local, come on homie, we major | 
| We major (come on, homie, we major) | 
| Feeling better than some head on a sunday afternoon | 
| Better than a chick that say yes to soon | 
| Until you have a daughter, that’s what I call karma | 
| And you pray to god she don’t grow breasts too soon. | 
| Projects to’up, gang signs is thrown up Niggas hats broke off that’s how we grow up Why else you think shorty’s write rhymes just to blow up? | 
| Get they first car and then IRS show up He ain’t never had shit but he had that nine | 
| Nigga come through flickin’and he had that shine | 
| Put two and two together in a little bad weather | 
| Gon’be a whole family on that funeral line | 
| Ask the reverand was the strip club cool if my tips help send a pretty girl | 
| through school | 
| That’s all I want like wino’s want they good whisky | 
| I ain’t in the Klan, but I brought my hood with me I heard the beat and I ain’t know what to write | 
| First line, should it be about the hos or the ice? | 
| Four-four's or black christ? | 
| Both flows would be nice | 
| Rap about big paper or the black man’s plight | 
| At the studio consol asked my man to the right | 
| What this verse sound like, should I freestyle or write? | 
| He said, Nas, what the fans want is Illmatic, Stillmatic | 
| Picked up the pad and pencil and jotted what I feel | 
| Been like 12 years since a nigga first signed | 
| Now I’m a free agent | 
| And I’m thinking it’s time | 
| To build my very own Motown | 
| Cuz rappers be deprived of executive 9 to 5s | 
| And it hurts to see these companies be stealing the life | 
| And I love to give my blood sweat and tears to the mic | 
| So y’all copped the LPs and y’all fiends got dealt | 
| I’m Jesse Jackson on the balcony where King got killed | 
| I survived the livest niggas around | 
| Lasting longer than more than half of you clowns | 
| Look, I used to cook before I had the game took | 
| Either way my change came like Sam Cooke. | 
| Feeling better than I ever felt before today | 
| Like better late than never is orientation | 
| Still we can make it better throwing all your cares away |
