It go one for the money, two for the show
100 bars of rap, 99 to go
This the way of life that imma live with no exception
Lost on my train of thought cause I got no direction
Ordinary knucklehead, always into drama
Rollin' off some E, paranoid from marijuana
Reiterating the fact I'll leave somebody injured
The game is for life can't retire off a tenure [51st]
You see I speak real blunt, no cigar
And over the years I've read a lot of memoirs
Searching in my soul, still choosing my identity
Until I got stuck with the formula, got a boost of energy
I don't want the cornerback, I got too many penalties
And we are not the same, law enforcement is my enemy
Tryin'a keep it positive and hope that it's productive
Tryin'a turn the page without switching up the subject
Take it how it come, still running through the night
With an empty gun cause I took somebody's life
Right or wrong, wrong or right
It don't matter it's the truth
Gotta get it together, go on get in the booth
Cause I'm running out of youth
I don't got no excuse
I'm like Jordan on the mic cause I write like how he hoops
Swear to God [swoosh] I don't think the industry is ready
Leaving gang leaders in charge, sharp as a machete
Whether I type it or I write I let it speel
Hear the tone when I'm reciting, know exactly how I feel
I do it for my village though they scattering us up
Get out the bed every day and go to work no matter what
That's tough
But me I gotta keep chasing my dream
It's painted on my brain, no replacing what I've seen
Another daily routine, one out of a billion
I was building, reason that I took over them buildings
Leave it to my children if they daddy doesn't last
Unless the police k** me and confiscate my stash
Cause you know I got the bag, this that and the other
It's just a figure of speech and no it's not really bu*ter
From popcorn balls to the Hawthorne mall
Spending it how it come, stupid doodle dumb
Until I die I'm unconventional
And I ain't like none of them guys because I'm not one dimensional
Reason I ain't local is the kid is so intelligent
Yeah I know I rap but I could probably been the president
Globalized etiquette, working on my diplomacy
I'm heartbroken if this isn't considered poetry
Clock go tick, I got it
Nas so thick, I try my wallet but the guap won't fit
Now I got my game face growling
Ba** stay pounding
No face paint but you could say I'm clowning
Had to keep writing, so I start fighting
A Sasquatch, juggernaut, Kansas City titan
Now the road is open from years of only hoping
Just like the kid at the arcade with his only token
You wanna play the game but you lose you goin' home
Now I'm getting paid so it proves I'm goin' strong
Focusing on life and how to make it to the top
I ain't fully elevated but I made it off the block
It's like I'm just a foot away from stepping on my dreams
Game's in my brain and the hustle in my genes
I do the same thing every day, it's in my schedule
Explain who I really is? I probably should be technical
[Wait a minute]
First up, turn the music up another decibel
Loud enough to have your brain dead as a vegetable
Neighbor's ain't complaining then your volume's not acceptable
I'm what they like to call criminally ethical
Whole lot of hood inside a young intellectual
Dope game rhymes, the same time poetical
Critics pretty skeptical, they think I'll make a spectacle
They don't understand that I'm grown and a professional [c'mon]
Don't get me wrong, we can make it a festival
And I'll bring the fireworks, you bring the edibles [huh?]
Boy please, I'll bounce out and be undetectable [supid]
Show you that this fold out mini really is flexible
Damage is irreparable, and I don't want no pedastle
They can't leave me alone cause I'm incredible [uh huh]
And me and money are inseparable [uh huh]
And if you find a guy like me then keep him, he a collectable [yeah]
One of my girls said "You don't treat me right. [I don't?]
We don't talk, we don't hang, you barely giving me the pipe. [I don't]"
Got these hoes pulling up because you wanna see us fight [I do]
But still be wishing I was sleeping with them at night. [Shut up]
They probably love me because they don't understand me
Jar full of spit and it certainly come in handy
I'll put that on my mammie
That I'm gon' win a grammy [promise]
At first they were all sleeping on me, know they out there jam me [wake up]
Part of me's a kid just living in the past
Fast are the wheels, 250 in the dash
Kawasaki ninja and I'm riding in the rain
Messing up my engine cause I'm messed up in the brain
I probably should explain, but then again I shouldn't
I just continue cooking this bowl of vanilla pudding
But that looks like...that feels like... wait a minute...
That's dope. Smell it that's dope
And in my room you remove your trousers dear
I told you that clothes aren't allowed in here
We're cooking dope
And that's 100 for the public. What's up
