If you deal with war backwards stay far
We're dealing with truths and rights
Come some more into my sight
Yeah in London talkin' to Rhetorik 'bout my life and sh*t
I thought the album was finished but I keep writing sh*t
It's kind of funny how life changed and rearranged
No matter what happens everything ain't gon' be the same
The incredible album what an incredible outcome
I grip the mic and then talk to the people like I'm Malcolm
I used to think the fame and money was the motivation
Until I toured the world and met the people face to face and
Understood that the power was harnessed in that basement
It ain't about the money and notoriety
It's about the people and making a difference in society
But don't get it twisted this life I'm living is like a movie
The godfather the Goodfella wielding an uzi
One with the people if the people is wondering who's he
Same level the same rebel that never settled
Pullin' strings like Geppeto who overcame the ghetto
And I know you wrote me and I still ain't answered
Cause sh*t is different now it's forced upon me
Different stances
I used to spend all my time conversing with you
But now I write this song to let you know I'm hurting with you
Sh*t is too big but let's be honest man
It's kinda bittersweet besides the shows and meet
And greets y'all only see me on the street
And even then that sh*t is rareI just don't go outside
Cause honestly I don't f**k with this world I'd rather hide
That misconception cause I rap I must be filled with pride
Sh*t I ain't perfect if you heard different then someone lied
People in my ear telling me talk that sh*t
Actions speak louder than words I'd rather walk that sh*t
Since the first album
I'm one of the highest earners on the label
Within six months I put the second one on they table
I've played sold out shows in parts of the world I can't pronounce
Release the tickets watch them disappear when we announce
F**k all that murderous syllable sh*t right now
Let me just bounce
The mood around me is people smokin' that by the ounce
Leave Friday for the show and come back Monday with a hundred grand
Don't f**k with checks so when I bounce I prefer cash in hand
You know my first week looking crazy due to high demand
Cause people don't buy music in this day and age
They buy the brand
There's ups and downs don't get me wrong
But back when I ain't have sh*t
Felt like I would've sold my soul to make it with this rap sh*t
Thank god he never let Lucifer close enough to ask
Let me attain it by workin' hard and busting my a**
Achieved a lot in life but what's a lot with more to gain
At least I don't drink to avoid the hurt we call that champagne
Come some more into my sight
