T.I. - I Swear lyrics

[Intro] Uh, yeah [Verse] Artificial official drug dealer Made a million thug, wanna be a k**er Court room seat filler And I over see villa water front Won't blink Think of Martin Luther King, we shall overcome G3, layin' every bad b**h you wanna cuff Get the run for they money Havi'g fun for the money UGK Alumni Yeah that's how I run my sh** Sittin' in the Bentley make her sell a Hyundai Take extraordinary measures to some temporary pleasures And my view from the pool say the world could be better To the naked eye bunch of naked thighs, naked a**es They fake and they don't matter, pretty titties out dancin' And I leave the advance of the young black man But my flesh ain't as strong and my mind is man Wanna make it great again when the time is man 400 years later motherf**ers still playin' Like the cotton fields, some wounds time never heals Tossin' culture and religion to the side, gave us hits Askin' God with the perfect pair of ties at the service Every sermon all I hear is what I owe and what he earn Seems that the world turnin' like the whole world burnin' Leavin' hell here and this sh** just gettin' worse every year Hell ya, say money, hoes, cars, clothes What my life was all about but that's before I thought about it What the world would be like when my daughter 25 Would I prevent or contribute to my grandson dyin' Like my n***a Thugga daughter I was motherf**in' tired Dead asleep when the meal came, I ain't never had sh** But the dream that the team live above average Multi million dollar mansion, million plus advances He knowin' the advancement and takin' our chances And knowin' they'd rather see me in prison than at Stanford I swear [Outro] Yeah, yeah Know they'd rather see me in prison than at Stanford I swear, yeah-yeah Woah-uh-huh I was motherf**in' tired and I swear I was motherf**in' tired and I swear Yeah She asked me (?)
