You ain't gon believe this but you used to fit right here[00:00:13]
I'd hold you up and say to your mother[00:00:19]
This kids gonna be the best kid in the World[00:00:21]
This kids gonna be somebody better than anybody I ever knew[00:00:24]
And you grew up good and wonderful it was great[00:00:28]
Just watching everyday was like a privilage[00:00:33]
Than the time comes for you to be your own man and take on the World[00:00:36]
And you did but somewhere along the lines you changed you stopped being you [00:00:41]
Shout to all my fans glad I can inspire y'all[00:00:48]
Got a couple haters still trying to acquire more[00:00:51]
You're praying to a higher power hoping I should fall[00:00:54]
But even my writers block ends in a fire wall[00:00:57]
Everybody acts reckless judging by they past efforts[00:01:00]
If they ran sh*t why it won't show up in they track records[00:01:03]
How can the critics ever hear me and say I'm a suffer[00:01:06]
How when they play with words and I make em' play with each other[00:01:09]
Choppers over the booth ready for prime time[00:01:13]
Come one with his thoughts intertwine with his mind[00:01:15]
Go toe to toe blow for blow or do it rhyme for rhyme[00:01:18]
Be competitive coke heads and go line for line[00:01:22]
Honestly that crap of yours you should raffle off[00:01:24]
With me they getting Genius Bars without the Apple store[00:01:27]
Under the microscope I rebut' the scrutiny[00:01:30]
If I'm to be compared it's only to who I used to be[00:01:33]
Take a closer look at rappers and you might discover[00:01:36]
This faggots talking Boxing avoid the Mike Buffers[00:01:39]
Now you the type to cuff her me I get tired of her[00:01:42]
See you the type to get hype to hug her but won't try to f**k her[00:01:45]
No pencil thin b**ches me that ain't the style he dates[00:01:48]
Might sit on her face and leave the imprint of a smiley face[00:01:51]
Introduce the newcomers to my habitat[00:01:54]
The calms before the storm this the debris from the aftermath[00:01:57]
Let me tell you something here right now[00:02:00]
The World ain't all sunshine and rainbows[00:02:02]
It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are[00:02:05]
It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it[00:02:09]
You nore nobody is gonna hit as hard as life[00:02:14]
But it ain't about how hard you hit[00:02:17]
It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward[00:02:20]
Let me change pace the alternate route is a long one[00:02:24]
But you'll ultimately end up in the same place[00:02:28]
So I tell aspiring artists "think beyond greater"[00:02:30]
I know some niggas with platinum plaques and bronze paper[00:02:33]
But better living should be earned never fed or giving[00:02:37]
So I traded my recognition instead for a vision[00:02:39]
They always told me that I'd end up dead or in prison[00:02:42]
Who ever thought that same dude getting head while he whipping[00:02:45]
At the chick would hang up on give em' the dial tone[00:02:48]
Now buying wild homes straight cash without loans[00:02:51]
I always managed to do better when his doubts shown[00:02:54]
I'll teach you how to turn them diamonds into milestones[00:02:57]
Class is in session and look who's come to tutor[00:03:00]
They passing the fake off as real like Brian Pumpers jeweler[00:03:03]
Where I'm from niggas with fear getting slumped by shooters[00:03:06]
But my equal to dumping rugers is being done by computers[00:03:09]
I'm getting bread every verse like the lotto[00:03:12]
Give them substance but they treat every word like it's a hollow[00:03:15]
My niggas off parole I'm tryna give them something pure to follow[00:03:18]
Cause he ain't have a pot to piss in just a urine bottle[00:03:21]
I come from where so many people where raised with neglect[00:03:24]
Cops trying to meet they quote thirsty to make an arrest[00:03:26]
All my wrong doings did was put my faith to a test[00:03:30]
Which made me much stronger guess my mistakes were correct[00:03:33]
Now if you know what you're worth go out and get what you're worth[00:03:42]
But you gotta be willing to take the hit[00:03:46]
Not pointing fingers saying you're not where you wanna because of him or her or anybody[00:03:49]
Cowards do that and that ain't you[00:03:56]
You better than that[00:03:59]
