[Verse 1] South Gate's finest, not quite a legend I wanna do things that you could never imagine Sitting on my couch having way too many dreams If I'm gonna play the game, I gotta pick a better team They always say that I look like I'm pissed off Your voice is clouding up my head, just piss off Too much grime in this game, I think I need to rinse off What you scared for? Take your window tints off "David, open up more!" Okay, here I go I'm a disrespectful monster when I let my feelings flow Oh, you know? Man, who told you? I just pray to God that their perspective hasn't sold you I'm still the kid that's always putting others first You should recognize I could've ended up worse Funny how it goes though, funny how I changed Everything I hate is everything that I became Putting my hands to the constellations Looking at the facts and ignoring allegations Whatever they told you has gotta be a lie Please don't shut me out, I'm still a nice guy Never getting into trouble, never fighting with the law Yeah I make mistakes but everybody's got a flaw Looking through my lens, I know nothing's picture perfect But the promise of a paradise makes the pain worth it I'll be the best M-E, not the best MC But the future's uncertain so I guess we'll see I got people saying I should have a Plan B Those are the people that could never understand me I show love to the ones that ride with me Those the type of people that I know are gonna die with me All the others man, you better beware Gotta watch your back, you better be aware That's real [Verse 2] Let's all admit it, I'm defiant, don't fight it I'm hot and you're cold, we live in different climates Ego so large that you gotta climb it Can you get to the top? Go ahead, I'll time it I'm the hand that feeds you so you better not bite it You can't live without Goliath so don't even try it A timeless, mindless, heartless animal So many sins I just couldn't count 'em all Afraid of my shadow, jealous of others Theirs never cowers under the covers They aren't ashamed to face their own mother They aren't an enemy to their own brother A good kid and the world became good lovers Found out who he was and it only took two summers As a result of that, this is what he learned It's hard to stay humble when the struggle burns
