| If you’re dealing war, backwards stay far
|
| We’re dealing with truths and rights
|
| Come some more into my sight
|
| Yeah, in London talkin' to Rhetorik 'bout my life and shit
|
| I thought the album was finished but I keep writing shit
|
| It’s kind of funny how life changed and rearranged
|
| No matter what happens, everything ain’t gon' be the same
|
| The incredible album, what an incredible outcome
|
| I grip the mic and then talk to the people like I’m Malcolm
|
| I used to think the fame and money was the motivation
|
| Until I toured the world and met the people face to face and
|
| Understood that the power was harnessed in that basement
|
| It ain’t about the money and notoriety
|
| It’s about the people and making a difference in society
|
| But don’t get it twisted, this life I’m living is like a movie
|
| The Godfather, the Goodfella wielding an Uzi
|
| One with the people, if the people is wondering who’s he?
|
| Same level, the same rebel that never settled
|
| Pullin' strings like Geppeto who overcame the ghetto
|
| And I know you wrote me and I still ain’t answered
|
| Cause shit is different now, it’s forced upon me
|
| Different stances
|
| I used to spend all my time conversing with you
|
| But now I write this song to let you know I’m hurting with you
|
| Shit is too big, but let’s be honest man,
|
| It’s kinda bittersweet, besides the shows and meet and greets y’all only see me
|
| on the street
|
| And even then, that shit is rare-I just don’t go outside
|
| Cause honestly I don’t fuck with this world, I’d rather hide
|
| That misconception, «Cause I rap, I must be filled with pride»
|
| Shit I ain’t perfect, if you heard different then someone lied
|
| People in my ear telling me, «Talk that shit»
|
| Actions speak louder than words, I’d rather walk that shit
|
| Since the first album
|
| I’m one of the highest earners on the label
|
| Within six months I put the second one on the table
|
| I’ve played sold out shows in parts of the world I can’t pronounce
|
| Release the tickets, watch them disappear when we announce
|
| Fuck all that murderous syllable shit right now
|
| Just let me bounce
|
| The mood around me is people smokin' that by the ounce
|
| Leave Friday for the show and come back Monday with a hundred grand
|
| Don’t fuck with checks so when I bounce I prefer cash in hand
|
| You know my first week looking crazy due to high demand
|
| Cause people don’t buy music in this day and age
|
| They buy the brand
|
| There’s ups and downs, don’t get me wrong
|
| But back when I ain’t have shit
|
| Felt like I would’ve sold my soul to make it with this rap shit
|
| Thank God he never let Lucifer close enough to ask
|
| Let me attain it by workin' hard and busting my ass
|
| Achieved a lot in life, but what’s a lot with more to gain?
|
| At least I don’t drink to avoid the hurt, we call that Champagne
|
| Come some more into my sight… |
