Lyrics

Yeah, I heard there's war going on outside
I promise I'm doing everything for me and mine
I'll sell my freedom to eat on that government dime
My own martyr, 'Imma struggle 'till the day that I die
I know I tried, I'm checking my bread
Eyes red, I barely sleep in my bed
From PM to the AM, I been working, it's a process
They doing what they can to keep my people in the projects
I'm dreaming for a day where I could break that fucking promise
My head spinning, pulled me out of the whip
That copper asked me what I'm doing with his hand on hip
A black man, a black Benz, it's all part of the script
I learned that 40 in a 40's simply moving too quick
Fuck him, and what he stand for, I'll for fight that power
Then buy a house by those people, turn my music up louder
Then move my family on the block and have 'em hand me my flowers
A big ego on a ****, I'm in love with the doubters
Look, 'cause when I said it I meant it, like really obviously
I've been honest, I'm on it with new velocities
To suffer from success is just one thing I refuse
I bet that none of ya'll **** ever fit in my shoes
I been down, like beat battered in scenes scattered, my jeans tattered
And in that bottle was peace, in need of green pastures
I think I drink to success, so I'm drinking heavy now
I've been compared to the best, but we all going down
Yeah, look
I'm leaving soon and won't be back for a minute
So sit your petty ass down and let me handle my business
I've done it all upon my lonely, no one grants me a ticket
It's black excellence, I'm happy throwing hands with these bigots
I only know division, no decisions
Towel is fucking thrown in
Since it's me, I'm steady hustling on my own volition, own ambition
**** I ain't stopping 'til I get rich and control the system
Know I'm pissing off 'bout every one I've got a bone to pick with
I'm incoming, someone hand me a drink
'Cause with a bottle and a mic the only way I can think
I think I model all my plight from what I heard from that shrink
They acting like they never seen no **** close to the brink
Fuck 'em, I said it once, and look I'll say it again
I've have a lot of hard times and seen 'em out to the end
It never depends, I know I'm taking all they can send
I heard the bigger the ego, the fucking bigger the man
That's a good Christian with bad habits, a great addict
I put my life on the record, so **** stay at it
I've heard them adages, shit that makes people average
I don't take advice from nobody I know I'm better than
Been down and out, so what I do got a purpose
Look how you think you bother me when I believe that I'm perfect?
You're either with me, or your ass against me
I'm 'tryna right my wrongs because I can't rewrite the history
We all going down
