I see too many evils. I'm honest and I'm humble 'cos I'm working for my people. Hesitation with decisions have you reminiscing. I'm vulnerable and pensive, but never distant. I'm someone that you gotta mention. I'm Scorsese like you never missed it. We keep it tight like we using philips. A constant battle with my city like I'm Doc Rivers. I know my circle full of bread winners. It's outrageous, my block people hustle out in bodegas. They looking for this money 'cos there's no savings. No homes, no blankets. I been on the road feeling quite gracious. 'Cos I don't need a savior. I need a blunt and a paid vacation. I'm talking food in the fridge when it's vacant. There's nothing you could tell me. I'm plotting on this come up like I'm proud and wealthy. Visions of my past keep me sane and healthy. Cycles of my sorrow follow through my service. The type of person that could tell you if it's really worth it. My mother used to say, 'no pictures perfect'. Was she for certain? Or was I blinded by the world and it's dirty curtains? Or am I forced to live through poverty and try to earn it? I really wanna burn it, so you could see me. I never needed pity, from section 8 committees. I rather starve and stay broke, I'm tagging up a Denny's. You wanna talk about how I been living. I lived a life at 24 and never been forgiven. A game of 21, I'm probably playing through a scrimmage. They wanna try and fit in my description. Wish you could see me through a blurry image.

Eyes on me. I'm never losing focus like I'm running from police. If you could have a vision for yourself, it ain't a dream. 'Cos I don't give a damn unless you working for the team. All eyes on me. Money for the calms. Places that I'm from. Like a young Armstrong, you just stay where you belong. Burning through the green, I been smoking like a fiend. I'm smoking dutches filled with foreign. It's too bad you're not important. Money looking long like it's imported. That's on me. That's on me. You should pay me for my time. 'Cos I'm not the one to lie. Running through the streets 'cos I'm always getting mine. That's on me. That's on me. Selfish with my women, I'm so loyal and committed. Now the flow is sounding tailored, they just rap and try to fit it. Working in my zone it's like I'm Jordan or I'm Pippen. You should see how I been living. Just imagine how I get it. I'm Shawn Kemp on the boards. You people talking too much. I feel like Kobe's retirement, they forget where there from. You know the fam live in projects man, where bodies get tucked. Roll it up. Burn it up. Run it up. I'm smoking dutches filled with foreign. It's too bad you're not important. Money looking long like it's imported. That's on me. That's on me. You should pay me for my time. 'Cos I'm not the one to lie. Running through the streets 'cos I'm always getting mine. That's on me. That's on me.

Front center in the jungle like a roman arena. I'm loud when I talk because I need you to hear me. I'm proud and I'm hateful. I don't need of your people. The fact of the matter, we gotta rap for the digits. I'm flossing through lyrics like I just came from the dentist. You mad 'cos you live at the crib, still with your parents. Ain't it apparent? Rap people talk like a parrot. Like these women passing 25, talking about marriage. Dispose of the gimmicks. Nobody wasting my time. I don't need to ride the waves because I always make mine. I'm a boss in disguise, so we can't hold conversations. 'Cos I'm opinionated and you always take sides. I just did a couple night for smoking weed in the Bronx. I'm in a place in my life where I can't fuck with the law. I was seventeen when I saw my Dad behind bars. People saying I ain't hood like you're the one who makes calls. You pissing me off. I think you got confused. You represent the fashion. I'm the truth. You don't wanna get in to it like I'm Steven Seagal. Nine millie to a brother have him witnessing God. Old friends, new friends. I think I'm done with the liars. Only looking towards the future with these women behind us. People died, families cried. They just show when it's over. Separation in my family 'cos they follow Jehovah. Same crew, same city, it's whatever. I swear all of these rappers stealing flows. Quick to change up the mission, they changing clothes. Finding comfort in moments misunderstanding the vision. Perspectives is switching. I persevere when I'm lifted. When you lacking the confidence, try to keep this in mind. This life ain't always tidy when you stuck between tides. Momma trynna tell me. Learn the good. Wrong from the right. And how I make her feel uncomrtable living life. But I'm done with apologies. I don't need no one's help. I'm used to the judges. I could work them myself.

They wanna hate on a radical. I do not mess with those ni**as.. My people been working the avenues. They getting mad when you flipping. Radical. Radical. Radical. Radical. Radical. Radical. Radical. I could hold that. She just looking for somebody who could write back. I just been gone for a little. Back in the hood where I'm chilling. People started stealing from the cash wrap. i'm just trying to put you on to avoid that. I need compassion for real. Hope you don't fuck with the pills. I need somebody who chill. You bank on the promises. I just been plotting. You know I be closing them deals. The cardio is real when you running with your demons. Loyal to the fam 'cos nobody really see us. Pressure on this block is looking different. I don't need forgiveness, i'll admit it. Stuck in my distractions. I'm a cynic. Maybe I'm obsessive. Maybe I'm aggressive with the writtens. Focused on the vision. My people independent with they women. Balling with my ni**as since like '92. A place you never visit 'cos of Radicals. They wanna hate on a radical. I do not mess with those ni**as.. My people been working the avenues. They getting mad when you flipping. Radical. Radical. Radical. Radical. Radical. Radical. Radical. I swear I always notice when you're different. My family wanna see me earn a little. Thankfully I'm smarter so I'm sipping. Living out on Lenox have you flipping. Talking about some good yae. You're gonna have to see the dentist. Driving through Miami Dade. Yeah, those people really get it.

I cannot live with regret. You gotta work for respect. My phone on a hundred percent. 'Cos they wanna call up the feds. I don't get caught in the moment. Feds wanna see what I'm holding. Don't call my phone after twelve. You fucking or making a sale. That is a game for the minors. That is a game for the minors. Loyal to all of my people. We smoke outside in the winter. Loyal to all of my people. Winners will focus on winning. Word to the wise. Gotta keep a brother on the prize. An eye, for an eye, for an eye. 'Cos they wanna see your demise. Smoke coming out of the pen. I gotta roll it again. I got a twenty for ten. I'm trying to show out, then blow out. You know I be stacking the ends. I got the juice, it's a period. I do not care if you're hearing it. I hit a blunt and record it. Sim got the work and it's snowing. That is a game for the minors. That is a game for the minors. That is a game for the minors. These women be tripping behind us. I do not play in the minors. I do not play in the minors. They wanna rap 'cos they pushing. They wanna rap 'cos they pushing. I'm in a league with the majors. I know success comes with haters. That is a game for the minors. That is a game for the minors. I need some money to show out. I need some money to blow now. I need some green I could roll out. Then I burn the tree so I slow down. Mobbing, I'm back on the road. Don't piss me off when I roll. You know how bad that shit goes. I gotta run for the gold. I got it lit for the low. I'm trying to get me the smoke. That is a game for the minors. That is a game for the minors.

Real gotta recognize real. Real gotta recognize real. I hit a line in a bill. Repping on top of my will. Real gotta recognize real. Real gotta recognize real. I hit a line in a bill. I'm trying to get us a mill. Karma's a bitch, I swear that I'm trying my best to forget it. Most of these women that don't even check for me hate when I'm mentioned. They wanna keep it together and post a subliminal message. Grandma just passed but I know that she's proud of me. I gotta live for myself and equality. Parents still playing there numbers in lotteries. I haven't been to the south in a minute. You gotta come to my city. You gotta see how we living. Harlem city gang, that's a gold mine. Block people still hustle phone lines. Locked twice, still paying court fines. This for my people who work with a purpose. I don't do gossip 'cos comments resurface. They wanna throw me away in a prison. Lucky for me, I'm not new to those limits. Real gotta recognize real. Real gotta recognize real. I hit a line in a bill. Repping on top of my will. Real gotta recognize real. Real gotta recognize real. I hit a line in a bill. I'm trying to get us a mill. Feds lurking, I'm used to this. 'Piff blowing that Buddha shit. I just need you to hear me. Real talks on that Henny. They tried to say I ain't street. But I'm still making these beats. I'm sort of used to that cell. I think I know it too well. Tell me you hate me, I know you don't mean it. I'm throwing shots like I' Gilbert Arenas. They calling cops when they tight for no reason. I hit you back when I got us a re-up. I get it, I know this my city. Real gotta recognize real.

I'm a paper chase tutor. Survival my intention, I could never be a loser. I can't even mention what it took for me to do this. Represent my culture like a vulture in a movement. Nothing really to it. Ya' full of opinions and so easily influenced. Somebody get the papers we about ton roll out. Verbally explicit when I smoke around town. 'Cos I'm watching for reporters, I'm the story right now. I'm just aiming for the glory like the price went down. Pockets rearranged. I swear this life is strange. I'm the closest to perfection and they wonder where I'm made. Raising up a signal like a Verizon, turn ya speakers up. Shout out to the 'ville where the women fucking everyone. Young Stone Cold. Natty Ice blown. Harlem's very own. Stacking up the funds. Something I could prove. They just hit my phone 'cos I'm always on the move. Smoking all day. I been sticking to the roots. Plotting on the money like I'm trying to make the news. Man, I'm on one but I'm trying to smoke two. If you acting like a bitch, I ain't trying to see you. Lyrically obsessive. I know it's getting old. I'm trying to show these people. It's hard to act grown. My people got direction. I'm the one they leaning on. So when I'm making records, they the first to hear the song. Fuck all the gimmicks, pretentious women, the critics, the label business, the people who making hooks for the fishes. I know the hustle for the kids. Like the pushers and the muscle gotta help the family live. Stacking up the funds. They just hit my phone 'cos I'm always on the move. Smoking all day. Sticking to the roots. Plotting on the money like I'm trying to make the news. Man, I'm on one but I'm trying to smoke two.
