(Hm, do you know what it takes to be me?)

(You know what it takes to be me?)

(I'm a street demon)

Do you know what it takes to be me?

Do you harbor the strength to be me?

I was witnessin' life in 3D

I endured everything, the pain, the rain, the chains in order to be free

I've been focused on makin' it out, but member I used to go spin like a CD

Thats what make me the greatest, so know when I'm under the pavement I die as a elite

They wasn't puttin' no faith in me

I done open the door, put us on the map; now everyone thankin' me

There won't nobody givin' me, kick it, now they be the people that chasin' me

Threw me inside the cage with lions, tigers, bears, became a beast

If you ain't ever been in my shoes? Tell me how could you judge me?

I was only thirteen, was bangin' the set till I had a concussion

Prayin' on my success, while people that hated? Prayin' on my destruction

Even tho they was flawed, the day that I made it? I made sure they ain't suffer

I mean really for real, the reason why I'm on my swivel and pivot is tragic cause I know its kill or be killed

Just showed the people how to navigate inside that water, I even had gave **** gills

My smackas in Heaven, the ones on the earth scared, juss' hopin' they heal

And when they feel alone and all on they own, dawg, just know that I'm here

Cause I do understand it, cause I know where they standin'

Cause I know what its like when you call on to Heaven, and you don't get an answer

When you down and you out, when no one to count on, and inside of you panic

I ain't run from the hard work, I ain't duck, dodge, I just stood on that business

Even tho they ain't think it was evident, all my success is the evidence

Yall weighed the proper measurements

And the plaque? The gas? Peddle it

Any ill intent, lets settle it

Cause a war with us is treacherous

And for all the ones thats questionin'? Tell these **** I'm back in my element

For real
