Dead Man Walking (feat. Toestah) |
| Yo, they want the punch-line battle raps |
| I mean I had the title, you can have it back |
| That line was said so egotistically |
| I never gave it back; |
| it got stripped from me |
| Truly a blessing what it did to me |
| Learn more lessons from defeat than victory |
| Like how to take a loss: humility |
| What happened next, though, the rest is history |
| Glad they stopped me it was going to my head |
| Instead, I’m declaring that the cocky JIN is dead |
| Don’t put too much weight on reputation and face |
| Expect to be let down when expectations are great |
| They used to cause me of relying on my race |
| What they gonna say now, I’m relying on my faith? |
| See that’s fine with me, I was designed to be |
| I killed my old self, who wants to die with me? |
| I know it don’t make sense |
| Due to recent events |
| I ain’t been the same since |
| I know you must be convinced |
| I put the old me in the coffin |
| I’m so alive, still a dead man walking |
| Yo, they want the party/getting money raps |
| I had fun with that, but I’m done with that |
| See, I ain’t opposed to having a good time |
| But what I compose now are more that just good lines |
| I used to dream of getting five mics |
| Now in every sixteen, I’m praying that you find Christ |
| For the cheese, on the dotted line, I would’ve signed twice |
| That’s what I get for following three blind mice |
| Desperation, it was going to my head |
| Instead, I declare that the paper-chasing JIN is dead |
| Seeking riches, I let it measure what I’m worth |
| Wasting time storing up treasures here on earth |
| Only to be destroyed, I can’t fake the image |
| So I’m prepared to see my fanbase diminish |
| See that’s fine with me, I was designed to be |
| I killed my old self, who wants to die with me? |
| Yeah, five years ago, met JIN for the first time |
| Cross paths like church signs |
| I was plotting all my rivals |
| Suddenly I’m shaking hands with my idol |
| And three years later, me and JIN up in the stu |
| Cooking up tracks, recorded «FEEL GOOD» |
| Shot the video in Hong Kong, plus we did a show |
| Yeah, that’s why I call him «Big Bro» |
| I’m a dead man, dead man, trying to get ahead, man |
| Learning my ways, I was listening to Batman |
| Back then, all I cared was pouring out the Grammy |
| Nowadays, I’m rapping with a purpose making acme |
| I don’t know why, but sometimes feels empty |
| I’m waiting at the gates for entry |
| I want to give it up, but my love won’t let me |
| I’m out with the old me, so y’all don’t tempt me |
| Yeah |
| I put the old me in the coffin |
| I’m so alive, still a dead man walking |
