[Chorus] Even though I— On my way, on my way, on my way down On my way, on my way, on my way down You were the one that was tryna keep me way down But like the sun, know you know I find my way back round [Verse 1] They tell me I should fix my grill 'cause I got money now I ain't gon' sit around and front like I ain't thought about it A perfect smile is more appealing, but it's funny how My shit is crooked—look at how far I done got without it! I keep my twisted grill, just to show the kids it's real We ain't picture perfect, but we worth the picture still I got smart, I got rich and I got bitches still And they all look like my eyebrows: thick as hell Love yourself, girl, or nobody will Though you a woman I don't know how you deal With all the pressure to look impressive and go out in heels I feel for you, killin' yourself to find a man that'll kill for you You wake up, put makeup on Stare in the mirror, but it's clear that you can't face what's wrong No need to fix what God already put his paintbrush on Your roommate yelling, "Why you gotta take so long?!" What it's like to have a crooked smile [Chorus] Even though I— On my way, on my way, on my way down On my way, on my way, on my way down (This crooked smile) You were the one that was tryna keep me way down But like the sun, know you know I find my way back round (Yeah) [Verse 2] To all the women with the flaws, know it's hard, my darling You wonder why you're lonely and your man's not calling You keep falling victim 'cause you're insecure And when I tell you that you're beautiful, you can't be sure 'Cause he don't seem to want you back and it's got you askin' So all you see is what you lackin', not what you packin' Take it from a man that loves what you got And baby girl, you a star, don't let 'em tell you you're not Now is it real? Eyebrows, fingernails, hair Is it real? If it's not, girl, you don't care 'Cause what's real is somethin' that the eyes can't see That the hands can't touch, that them broads can't be And that's you, never let 'em see your frown And if you need a friend to pick you up, I'll be around And we can ride with the windows down, the music loud I can tell you ain't laughed in a while But I wanna see that crooked smile [Post-Chorus] We got the crooked smile, we can style on 'em Back round, crooked smile, we can style on 'em You were the one that was tryna keep me way down But like the sun, know you know I find my way back round [Verse 3] We don't look nothin' like the people on the screen You know, the movie stars, picture perfect beauty queens But we got dreams and we got the right to chase 'em Look at the nation That's a crooked smile braces couldn't even straighten Seem like half the race is either on probation or in jail Wonder why we inhale, 'cause we in Hell already I ask: If my skin pale, would I then sell like Eminem or Adele? But one more time for the 'Ville And fuck all of that beef shit, nigga, let's make a mil' Hey officer man, we don't want nobody gettin' killed Just open up that cell, let my brother outta jail I got money for the bail now, and well now If you askin' will I tell now—ayy, hell nah I ain't snitchin' 'cause, man, they get them niggas stitches now If you was around then you wouldn't need a witness now How you like this crooked smile? [Chorus] Even though I— On my way, on my way, on my way down On my way, on my way, on my way down (That crooked smile) You were the one that was tryna keep me way down But like the sun, know you know I find my way back round [Ad-Libs] [Outro] La la la, la la la, la-la—la—la La la la, la la la, la-la—la—la La la la, la la la, la-la—la—la La la la, la la la, la-la—la—la On my way, on my way, on my way down On my way, on my way, on my way down You were the one that was tryna keep me way down But like the sun, know you know I find my way back round Back round You were the one that was tryna keep me way down But like the sun, know you know I find my way back round Back round You were the one that was tryna keep me way down But like the sun, know you know I find my way back round Round [Music Video]

Money my motivator, the songs that I sing Picture a peasant passin' from pawn to a king (Who's the king?) You tell me you still love me, if so then let me go Will I return or will I burn, never know (Who's the king?) Look in my eyes and see the future But don't sugar coat it (Yeah) [Verse 3] Listen, history repeats itself and that's just how it goes Same way that these rappers always bite each other's flows Same thing that my nigga Elvis did with Rock 'n Roll Justin Timberlake, Eminem and then Macklemore While silly niggas argue over who gon' snatch the crown Look around, my nigga, white people have snatched the sound This year I'll prolly go to the awards dappered down Watch Iggy win a Grammy as I try to crack a smile I'm just playin', but all good jokes contain true shit Same rope you climb up on, they hang you with But not Jermaine, my aim too sick I bang, nigga, I came to bring the pain my brain too quick You see how I maneuver this game, I ain't stupid I recognize that life is a dream, and I dream lucid And break the chains and change minds One verse at a time, and claim 2-6 And fuck it, if the shoe fits, who's the king? [Outro] We all kings (We all kings, nigga) Kings of ourselves first and foremost (True) While the people debate who's the king of this rap game (Hehehaha) Here comes lil' ol' Jermaine With every ounce of strength in his veins To snatch the crown from whoever y'all think has it (True) But rather than place it on his head as soon as he grabs it Poof, boom, paow, it's like magic With a flash and a bang, the crown disintegrates And falls to the Earth from which it came It's done Ain't gon' be no more kings (Ain't gon' be no more kings) Be wary of any man that claims Because deep down he clings onto the need for power (Mm) In reality he's a coward (Mm) Ultimately he's scared to die And sometimes so am I But when I'm in tune with the most high I realize, the fear lies in my lack of awareness of the other side (The other side, ayy) Today I know that we are the same, are the same, you and I (Yessir) Different kind of skin, different set of eyes Two different minds, but only one God (It's only one God, nigga) It's for all the kings (Uh) 'Cause I know deep down every poet just wanna be loved

[Intro] Yeah (For your eyes) For your eyes only (For your eyes) For your eyes only, for your eyes only (For your eyes, for your eyes) For your eyes only [Verse 1] Hey, niggas be dyin' on the daily It seems my dreams faded for far too long The consequences deadly Can't visualize myself as nothin' but a criminal Control the block, servin' up rocks and stay subliminal 'Cause young niggas is hardheaded, they lettin' off Full of adrenaline, ignorant to what death can cause Ain't no comin' back, family dressed in black Plus it's hot now, the cops outside, it's hard to flip a pack And my daughter gotta eat, her mama be stressin' me Like I ain't the one who put them Js on her feet Like I ain't out in the field like that I might be low for the moment but I will bounce back Despite the charges, back to the wall, I fight regardless Screamin', "Fuck the law," my life is lawless That's what you call it, ain't got to be no psychic To see this is like the farthest thing from heaven This is hell and I don't mean that hyperbolic I try to find employment even if it's wipin' toilets But these felonies be makin' life the hardest Resistin' the temptation to run up and swipe a wallet Or run up on your yard, snatch your daughter bike, and pawn it That's why I write this sonnet If the pressure get too much for me to take and I break Play this tape for my daughter and let her know my life is on it (For your eyes) Let her know my life is on it (For your eyes) For your eyes only [Chorus] For your eyes, do you understand? For your eyes, do you understand me? For your eyes, do you understand? For your eyes, do you understand me? For your eyes, do you understand? For your eyes, do you understand me? For your eyes, do you understand? For your eyes only [Verse 2] You prolly grown now, so this song'll hit you If you hearin' this, unfortunately means that I'm no longer with you In the physical, not even sure if I believe in God but because you still alive He got me prayin' that the spiritual is real So I can be a part of you still, my pops was killed too So I know how part of you feels Maybe you hate me, maybe you miss me, maybe you spite me Life goes in cycles, maybe you'll date a nigga just like me I hope not, I'm tired of dope spots And fiends that smoke rocks I've seen far too many niggas' hopes rot I'm writin' this because me and the devil had a dance Now I see death around the corner, 'pologizin' in advance Don't know if I ever had a chance At a glance, I'm a failure Addicted to pushin' paraphernalia But daddy had dreams once, my eyes had a gleam once Innocence disappeared by the age of eight years My pops shot up, drug-related, mama addicted So Granny raised me in projects where thugs was hangin' Blood was stainin' the concrete Older niggas I loved, talked like they was above Maintainin' a timesheet, that's slow money Picked up the family business, by the age of thirteen Six years later was handed sentence 'Round the same time is when you came in this world Me and your mama thinkin': "What the fuck we namin' this girl?" I told her, "Nina," the prettiest name that I could think of (Most prettiest thing my eyes had ever seen) For the prettiest thing my eyes had ever seen, I was nineteen Took me two felonies to see the trap this crooked-ass system set for me And now I fear it's too late for me to ever be The one that set examples that was never set for me I'm livin' fast, but not fast enough 'Cause karma keeps on catchin' up to me And if my past becomes the death of me I hope you understand [Chorus] For your eyes, do you understand? For your eyes, do you understand me? For your eyes, do you understand? (Hope you understand) For your eyes, do you understand me? For your eyes, do you understand? (Hope you understand) For your eyes, do you understand me? For your eyes, do you understand? For your eyes only [Verse 3] It's several ways I could've went out, too many to count Was it the trigger-happy crackers that the badges give clout? Was it the young niggas, blastin' frustrated 'cause the cash runnin' out? Niggas don't know how to act in a drought See, baby girl, I realized my definition of a real nigga was skewed My views misshaped by new mixtapes That confirmed the shit I learned in the streets was true That real niggas don't speak when they beef with you They just pull up on your street, let the heat achoo And if a real nigga hungry, he gon' eat your food I was a fool, spent all my time duckin' school, duckin' cops Duckin' rules, huggin' blocks that don't love you I pray you find a nigga with goals and point of views Much broader than the corner, if not it's gon' corner you Into a box, where your son don't even know his pops And the cyclical nature of doin' time continues My worst fear is one day that you come home from school And see your father face while hearin' 'bout tragedy on news I got the strangest feelin' your daddy gonna lose his life soon And sadly if you're listenin' now it must mean it's true But maybe there's a chance that it's not And this album remains locked in a hard drive like valuable jewels And I can teach you this in person like I'm teachin' you to tie your own shoes I love you and I hope to God I don't lose you For your eyes only [Chorus] For your eyes, for your eyes only For your eyes, for your eyes only For your eyes, do you understand? For your eyes only [Verse 4] One day your daddy called me, told me he had a funny feelin' What he'd been dealin' with lately, he wasn't tellin' I tried to pick his brains, still, he wasn't revealin' But I could feel the sense of panic in his voice And it was chillin', he said: "Jermaine, I knew you since we was children I never asked for nothin', when times was hard I never had discussions with you, beggin' you to help me I dealt with the repercussions of my actions I know you tried to steer me 'way from that shit But that shit was in my blood, you know my life I know your momma, nigga, send my love In case I never get a chance to speak again I won't forget the weekends spent sleepin' at your crib That's the way I wished my family lived But my granny crib was in the 'jects" I had to interject like: "Nigga, what you talkin' 'bout? Fuck is you gettin' at?" He said, "Listen, I got no time to dive into descriptions But I been havin' premonitions Just call it visions from the other side I got a feelin' I won't see tomorrow Like the time I'm livin' on is borrowed With that said, the only thing I'm proud to say, I was a father Write my story down, and if I pass Go play it for my daughter when she ready" And so I'm leavin' you this record, for your eyes only Don't you ever scratch or disrespect it This perspective is a real one, another lost 'Ville son I dedicate these words to you and all the other children Affected by the mass incarceration in this nation That sent your pops to prison when he needed education Sometimes I think that segregation would've done us better Although I know that means that I would never Be brought into this world 'cause my daddy was so thrilled When he found him a white girl to take back to Jonesboro With lil' Zach and Cole World, barely one years old Now it's thirty years later, makin' sure this story's told Girl, your daddy was a real nigga, not 'cause he was cold Not because he was the first to get some pussy, twelve years old Not because he used to come through in the Caddy on some vogues Not because he went from baggin' up them grams to servin' O's Nah, your daddy was a real nigga, not 'cause he was hard Not because he lived a life of crime and sat behind some bars Not because he screamed, "Fuck the law" Although that was true Your daddy was a real nigga 'cause he loved you For your eyes only

(La la la) Ayy, who am I? (La la la la la, yeah) [Chorus] Things change, rearrange and so do I It ain't always for the better, dawg, I can't lie I get high 'cause the lows can be so cold I might bend a little bit but I don't fold One time for my mind and two for yours I got food for your thoughts to soothe your soul If you see my tears fall, just let me be Move along, nothing to see [Verse 2] I always did shit the hard way My nigga [inaudible] slangin' in the hallway Burnt CDs and trees like this was Broadway Times Square, kept the dimes there in the locker Some Reggie Miller with more brown hairs than Chewbacca Whispers that he got it for the low-low, sell a Dime for a dub, them white boys ain't know no better Besides, what's twenty dollars to a nigga like that? He tell his pops he need some lunch and he gon' get it right back I peeped game, got home snatched my mama keychain Took her whip, the appeal, too ill to refrain I hit the boulevard, pull up to my nigga front do' His mama at home, she still let 'em hit the blunt though I told her, "Hello", and sat with my nigga and laughed And talked about how we gon' smash all the bitches in class I complimented how I see him out here getting his cash And just asked, "What a nigga gotta do to get that? Put me on," he just laughed when he seen I was sure 17 years breathing, his demeanor said more He told me, "Nigga, you know how you sound right now? If you wasn't my mans, I would think that you a clown right now Listen, you everything I wanna be, that's why I fucks with you So how you looking up to me when I look up to you? You 'bout to go get a degree, I'ma be stuck with two choices: Either graduate to weight or selling number two For what? A hundred bucks or two a week? Do you think that you would know what to do if you was me? I got, four brothers, one mother that don't love us If they ain't want us, why the fuck they never wore rubbers?" I felt ashamed to have ever complained About my lack of gear and thought about how far we done came From trailer park to a front yard with trees in the sky Thank you mama, dry your eyes, there ain't no reason to cry You made a genius and I, ain't gon' take it for granted I ain't gon' settle for lesser, I ain't gon' take what they handed Nah, I'm gon' take what they owe me and show you that I can fly And show old girl what she missing, the illest nigga alive Ayy, who am I?

I get high 'cause the lows can be so cold I might bend a little bit but I don't fold One time for my mind and two for yours I got food for your thoughts to soothe your soul If you see my tears fall, just let me be Move along, nothing to see [Outro] I never felt better

Nigga, I can tell you things that you probably shouldn't know Have you ever heard the screams when the body hit the floor? Flashbacks to the pain, wakin' up, cold sweats Six o'clock in the mornin', gotta hit the BowFlex Get my weight up on the block, keep watch for the cops God they love to serve a nigga three hots and a cot Nowadays crime pays like a part time job And the drought got me prayin' for a Carl Thom vibe Summer Rain come again Numb the pain 'cause it's hard for a felon In my mind I been cryin', know it's wrong but I'm sellin' Eyes wellin' up with tears Thinkin' 'bout my niggas dead in the dirt Immortalized on this shirt [Chorus] Real niggas don't die Forward with the plot One-Seven-Forty-Five Form at the plot Real niggas don't die Form on the block Real niggas don't lie Form in the plot My niggas don't die Form on the block Real niggas don't die Form on the block Real niggas don't die Real niggas don't die [Verse 2] Have you ever seen a fiend cook crack on the spoon? Have you ever seen a nigga that was black on the moon? Have you ever seen your brother go to prison as you cry? Have you ever seen a motherfuckin' ribbon in the sky? Nope, all I see is that C.R.E.A.M, nigga, that green I'm a black king, black jeans on my black queen And her ass fat, too fat for a flat screen I'm the type of nigga make the whole fuckin' trap lean Kingpin, nigga, put wings on a crack fiend If they want a nigga, they gon' have to send a SWAT team And I'm goin' out like Scarface in his last scene A legend, what that mean?

[Intro] Our offense is awesome, our defense dominate We got that winning combination To what? To regulate Offense is awesome (Forever) Yeah [Verse 1] 2007, Cole dropped The Come Up I was in high school playin' corner I never dreamt of mumblin' words in front of hundreds Studyin' plays all summer I'll hit the league if my growth spurt come in, on my mom 2009, bro dropped The Warm Up I was in warm-ups playin' Weezy And Yukimi, Little Dragon, flame breathin' the weed Patrick had the studio dorm room next to me I freestyled ovеr his beats My nigga Keese transferrеd in from Tennessee He's a receiver, I played DB like Aqib Snatch a nigga chain, Talib Talib Kweli, I could be lyrically, but I put on cleats Scribbled lines goin' through my mind like a paper piece While I covered three, playin' nickel, doin' safety reads, watch the flats I can rap, but I rather tackle and pedal back Get a pick when my growth spurt hit (It don't matter 'bout the size, it's in here, man) I'ma be captain, and I was around 2010, no cap I got 'Freshman Player of the Year' and figured I was on track This nigga Pat' been in my ear talkin' 'bout rhymin' on tracks So after practice we record and then we got it on wax And on campus I heard about a couple rappers from Atlanta (Earthgang!) Said them niggas was snappin', maybe we could make somethin' happen and shit I wasn't serious enough to even be curious And we lose like every game, so every day I be furious So, the spirit of a nigga had changed To the point I had to reframe and focus my skills for other things I took the steel wheel, I'm steerin' in other lanes But my fuel on low and my oil need to be changed Amongst all the other shit that's goin' in my brain My brother got out of jail, I only know him by name He did a nickel and a dime in time, probably be stayin' with my mom And dad probably get mad, actin' lame some times [Verse 2] Uh, look The Sideline Story came out September of 2011 Ib said around that time: We was huntin' for a record, under lots of pressure Just combine the leverage with a better effort You could find a sound to get us out the underground forever Maybe you can bless a little brown effervescent kid Youngest of seven from the six, eight sections Section.80 dropped, yeah, we used to play that shit to death And if I recollect correct, you tried to sign him for yourself All the while I was round my out of town college, wildin' out Restaurants, Destin dinin', dashin', call it dinin' out Fuckin' bitches, 'posed to be in class, but I was hiding out My friends take a little shot, smoke a lot of cannabis, coolest nigga on the campus Now a nigga skippin' practices, and actin' like a rock star Going from in the dorm to in the car, leavin' the football field But fuck that, we still sorry, and the problems from the home front On my home screen callin' me, I don't wanna answer My brother Carl hit me, said my granny had cancer I'm 'posed to graduate and make my way back to Atlanta No job, no money or nothin' from ballin' Because between that and school, that was really all And maybe here's the back that broke the camel with the straw I wasn't on camera with them amateurs that they saw But they said they still caught me and my dawgs stealin' boxes Like Craig on his day off Called us in the office day before we 'posed to walk, uh Called a squad car, a couple officers I know bro was finna tell, he was lookin' nauseous Now I'm sittin' in a cell, nigga double crossed us Crossed me off the list for scholarship because I lost it No more football, my red-shirt senior season, exhausted, so I'm off it And I'm right back in Atlanta with a half a gram of weed And a gold Pontiac that my granny had bought for me I was sleepin' in the back, my dad kicked me in the streets When he saw my neck tatted, then I told him I was rappin' Fuck school, no goin' back, he said If I can not follow his rules, just go and pack Told you he be actin' lame some times [Interlude] This my son, he came from these nuts This negro come back from school All tatted up like the Sistine Chapel Talkin' 'bout he ain't playin' football no more Because he know he ain't goin' pro (Hey, it's a stamina that you left the house with) But he left on a full scholarship to go to school and get a degree Because we taught education was the number one thing Anyway (Every one of you gon' be like your oldest brother) He came back, determined to do what he was determined to do And I know because he, he is, who he is, we taught him Hey, whatever you do, put your full self into it So he did that, anyway (Do it your best, damn what other people want) He's back home, I ain't with that So I'm sayin' "Hey, you got to go to work" And he sayin' "Hey, this is my job, what I'm about to do" So I'm like "Hey man, some times you got to work (Or don't be a partner) To do what you really wanna do" We went through this whole brain wrestle But anyway, he won (I'm standing by you) He decided that "Hey dad, I'm puttin' this thing, I'm doin' this This is my job" and he committed to it And hey, the rest is history (You can do anything that you want to do) I'm lookin' at him, I believe in him I know what was in him All him and his brothers and sisters They all got the same mindset Do your best, give a hundred percent or don't do it at all So, I know whatever he put his all into, it was gon' be golden Anyway [Verse 3] Look March 10th, 2017, The Never Story dropped And I'm comin' off of tour with **** That was three years after openin' up for Ab-Soul But it's EARTHGANG's set, I only came to do a song DoeBurger used to say "Ayy bro, this lil' nigga cold Keep on doin' what you doin', you gon' make it, you 'gon blow" I ain't know that Ced had went ahead and played my shit for Cole But I knew he knew the game, and he pulled up to his show And then that's where we first met, but I ain't think of it no more 'Til Ced Brown said that I should open up for Omen on my own shit, if I wanted Only four cities, maybe we get Rob Gibbs on the phonin', I got to hone in In the game grown men uncomfortable in they own skin But all I wanted was a chance It feel like I'm in a mannequin challenge Still stance, but I'm still standin' 'Til my nigga lend a hand and I'm no longer stranded Lookin' for strengths in the streets of East Atlanta Momma said "Don't take advice, they gon' try and take advantage" I was 'bout to sign with Coach K, I ain't take the advance Cole say "Hold on, wait, bro, I got the plan So come on, damn, lil nigga, come on, shit, let's roll, fuck" [Outro] Shsh, yo, that's crazy That's crazy, yo JID, I remember I remember you came to the crib You remember this? After we had met And I told you and EARTHGANG to pull up To the crib in Carolina, it's the studio house I wasn't on no shit, like "Yo, I'm tryna do some Dreamville shit with y'all", nah It wasn't no talk of no deal, I didn't even know if I wanted to sign niggas I just knew I, y'all was dope, I fuck with you Just pull up, let's see what the vibe is like, let's work In my mind, if something happen, it happen If not, then cool, niggas just got a chance to link and kick it But while we was there, the thing that I noticed off rip I said, "Oh, this nigga want it, this nigga really want it" That look in your eye, nigga, I know that look I know that look too well But a lot of niggas want it The thing I noticed about you my nigga, off rip "This nigga don't just want it, he willin' to do the work that it takes to get it" And that's the difference, that's the separator That's the difference between the niggas that never get what they want And the niggas whose names ring out forever Forever

Jay-Z
[Intro] Do I find it so hard When I know in my heart I'm letting you down every day Letting you down every day Why do I keep on running away? [Verse 1] Look, I apologize, often womanize Took for my child to be born, see through a woman's eyes Took for these natural twins to believe in miracles Took me too long for this song, I don't deserve you I harassed you out in Paris "Please come back to Rome, you make it home" We talked for hours when you were on tour "Please pick up the phone, pick up the phone!" I said: "Don't embarrass me" instead of "Be mine" That was my proposal for us to go steady That was your 21st birthday You matured faster than me, I wasn't ready So I apologize I seen the innocence leave your eyes I still mourn its death and I apologize for all the stillborns 'Cause I wasn't present, your body wouldn't accept it I apologize to all the women whom I toyed with your emotions 'Cause I was emotionless And I apologize 'cause at your best, you are love And because I fall short of what I say I'm all about Your eyes leave with the soul that your body once housed And you stare blankly into space Thinkin' of all the time, you wasted it on all this basic shit So I apologize [Chorus] I'm never gonna treat you I'm never gonna treat you like I should Oh [Verse 2] I apologize Our love was one for the ages and I contained us And all this ratchet shit and we more expansive Not meant to cry and die alone in these mansions Or sleep with our back turned We supposed to vacay 'til our backs burn We're supposed to laugh 'til our heart stops And then meet in a space where the dark stop And let love light the way Like the men before me, I cut off my nose to spite my face I never wanted another woman to know Something about me that you didn't know I promised, I cried, I couldn't hold I suck at love, I think I need a do-over I will be emotionally available if I invited you over I stew over; "What if—" "You over my shit?" [Verse 3] And if my children knew I don't even know what I would do If they ain't look at me the same I would prob'ly die with all the shame "You did what with who?" What good is a ménage à trois when you have a soulmate? "You risked that for Blue?" If I wasn't a superhero in your face My heart breaks for the day I have to explain my mistakes And the mask goes away And Santa Claus is fake And you go online and see For Blue's tooth, the tooth fairy didn't pay [Chorus] I'm never gonna treat you like I should

[Verse 1] Motherfuckers say that I'm foolish, I only talk about jewels (Bling-bling) Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it? See, I'm influenced by the ghetto you ruined The same dude you gave nothin', I made somethin' doin' What I do through and through and I give you the news with a twist, it's just his ghetto point of view The renegade, you been afraid I penetrate pop culture Bring 'em a lot closer to the block where they pop toasters And they live with they moms, got dropped roadsters From botched robberies, niggas crouched over Mami's knocked up 'cause she wasn't watched over Knocked down by some clown When child support knocked, "No, he's not around" Now, how that sound to ya? Jot it down I bring you through the ghetto without ridin' 'round Hidin' down, duckin' strays from frustrated youths stuck in they ways Just read a magazine that fucked up my day How you rate music that thugs with nothin' relate to it? I help them see they way through it, not you Can't step in my pants, can't walk in my shoes Bet everything you worth, you'll lose your tie and your shirt [Verse 2] Since I'm in a position to talk to these kids and they listen I ain't no politician, but I'll kick it with 'em a minute 'Cause see, they call me a menace and if the shoe fits, I'll wear it But if it don't, then y'all'll swallow the truth, grin and bear it Now who's the king of these rude, ludicrous, lucrative lyrics? Who could inherit the title, put the youth in hysterics Usin' his music to steer it, sharin' his views and his merits? But there's a huge interference, they're sayin' you shouldn't hear it Maybe it's hatred I spew, maybe it's food for the spirit Maybe it's beautiful music I made for you to just cherish But I'm debated, disputed, hated and viewed in America As a motherfuckin' drug addict, like you didn't experiment? Now, now, that's when you start to stare at who's in the mirror And see yourself as a kid again, and you get embarrassed And I got nothin' to do but make you look stupid as parents You fuckin' do-gooders, too bad you couldn't do good at marriage (Haha) And do you have any clue what I had to do to get here? I don't think you do, so stay tuned and keep your ears glued to the stereo 'Cause here we go, he's Jigga-Jur-Jigga-Jih-Jigga And I'm the sinister Mr. Kiss-My-Ass is just a [Chorus] Renegade, never been afraid to say What's on my mind at any given time of day 'Cause I'm a renegade Never been afraid to talk about anything (Anything?), anything (Anything) Renegade, never been afraid to say What's on my mind at any given time of day 'Cause I'm a renegade Never been afraid to holler about anything (Anything?), anything (Anything) [Verse 3] I had to hustle, my back to the wall, ashy knuckles Pockets filled with a lotta lint, not a cent Gotta vent, lotta innocent lives lost on the project bench What you hollerin'? Gotta pay rent, bring dollars in By the bodega, iron under my coat, feelin' braver Durag wrappin' my waves up, pockets full of hope Do not step to me I'm awkward, I box lefty An orphan, my pops left me And often my mama wasn't home Could not stress to me, I wasn't grown 'Specially on nights I brought somethin' home to quiet the stomach rumblings My demeanor thirty years my senior My childhood didn't mean much, only raisin' green up Raisin' my fingers to critics, raisin' my head to the sky Big, I did it, multi before I die No lie, just know I chose my own fate I drove by the fork in the road and went straight [Verse 4] See, I'm a poet to some, a regular modern-day Shakespeare Jesus Christ, the king of these Latter-day Saints here To shatter the picture in which of that as they paint me as A monger of hate, satanist, scatter-brained atheist But that ain't the case, see, it's a matter of taste We as a people decide if Shady's as bad as they say he is Or is he the latter, a gateway to escape? Media scapegoat who they can be mad at today See, it's as easy as cake, simple as whistlin' "Dixie" While I'm wavin' the pistol at sixty Christians against me Go to war with the Mormons, take a bath with the Catholics In holy water, no wonder they tried to hold me under longer I'm a motherfuckin' spiteful, delightful eyeful The new Ice Cube, motherfuckers hate to like you What did I do? (Huh?), I'm just a kid from the gutter Makin' his butter off these bloodsuckers, 'cause I'm a motherfuckin' [Chorus] Renegade, never been afraid to say What's on my mind at any given time of day 'Cause I'm a renegade Never been afraid to talk about anything (Anything?), anything (Anything) Renegade, never been afraid to say What's on my mind at any given time of day 'Cause I'm a renegade Never been afraid to holler about anything (Anything?), anything (Anything) Renegade, never been afraid to say What's on my mind at any given time of day 'Cause I'm a renegade Never been afraid to talk about anything (Anything?), anything (Anything) Renegade, never been afraid to say What's on my mind at any given time of day 'Cause I'm a renegade Never been afraid to holler about anything (Anything?), anything (Anything)
