| The word passion, it uhm
|
| It actually derives from the Latin word il passio
|
| Which means «to suffer»
|
| And it’s almost poetic justice in a way
|
| Cause uh, you know
|
| I got that shit tatted on my tummy
|
| And uh, I been sufferin'
|
| But, you know
|
| You suffer for your ups
|
| You suffer for your downs and your triumphs
|
| You pain is always just a fuel
|
| It’s a motivator for your triumphs, you know
|
| You know, I don’t like it myself
|
| So like no old school rappers and stuff like that
|
| I don’t really see it
|
| I look at myself as more of an Issac Hayes
|
| Or a Donny Hathaway
|
| Or, you know, a Marvin Gaye of my time, you know
|
| I’m just reporting the world as I see it
|
| Reporting my struggle
|
| Ozwald Boateng, Bottega Veneta
|
| Moms mad, cause I spent so much cake on this sweater
|
| I ain’t do it to floss, mommy
|
| I did it to show 'em
|
| You worked your fingers to the bone
|
| The whole world gonna owe us
|
| Owe me back, like 40 acres to glass
|
| Plus a mule and a thick model bitch to match
|
| Savage Rock Lee’s with the elastic straps
|
| I know they ugly
|
| I don’t work hard to wear Air Max
|
| Flashback to the stockroom at the Gap
|
| Hoes is frontin' on me then
|
| Tell me, where they at
|
| You ain’t never been at where I been at
|
| What you make in a year couldn’t pay my tax
|
| And I ain’t tryin' to shit
|
| I’m just statin' the facts
|
| If I shit by mistake, nigga, live with that
|
| Got a job for you, you can wipe my ass
|
| Net skills so close, I could pick off a pass
|
| And I don’t like the Nets
|
| I just came cause they asked
|
| Never was a thug, ain’t ashamed of my past
|
| As the sands of time disintegrate in the glass
|
| You gettin' older and lookin' broker
|
| You niggas is trash
|
| Washed up Wolverine with the bone claws
|
| Frontin' on actress bitches
|
| You were born raw
|
| You the type that make me turn my phone off
|
| Nobody called when I was eating cold cuts and canned corn
|
| When Chinese food was a treat
|
| We was happy to eat
|
| I turned my bummy into fly
|
| Those same FILAs on my feet
|
| Shout to Crystal, cause that bitch used to hold me down
|
| Bought me dress clothes
|
| Plus, she printed my resume out
|
| Probably somewhere with a dick in her mouth
|
| If that bitch never cheated, she would be with me now
|
| Funny how tables turn and destiny burns
|
| Niggas get left behind, cause they unable to learn
|
| Very chosen few that was great as a sperm
|
| Me, I stay low and try to save what I earn
|
| If wealth’s accrued and pursued in nirvana, then cool
|
| If not, let me rock and just do what I do
|
| Vanilla rainbows after cherry raindrops
|
| Runnin' from the Devil, cause his flame’s hot |
