Say No More 02:15
I don't do "maybe"s or "probably"s Step off stage, leave no doubt like Gwen Stefani Mami, I am not your average I damage pros & amateurs And if you try to fuck with me, suggest you bring the ambulance Most other people make excuses, me I make moves Anybody call me lucky, I call them a damn fool Kids, pay attention: This is what your dreams look like when they grow up thanks to ambition Drove a couple hundred miles just to spit a couple poems Sell your product til its gone, hit the road, take it home I redefine hustle, how you say I don't, dude? More people know me in YOUR city than know YOU These are what the facts is: I came down 'round here, put the city on my back like I'm Atlas Ok, you got a little fire, you a matchstick How you fuckin with the sun, I don't owe you jack shit It's over for the bullshit, over for the nonsense Over all these muthafuckas tryin to hate on my shit Over all these other niggas overanalyzing What it is I'm here for, they ain't even tried shit I don't even want the crown, they call me your highness I would rather sip on Crown relax at home & write shit They mad 'cause I write shit I'll even freestyle shit to witness with your eyelids So tell me what you hatin' for? Poet or an MC? Neither I'm a hybrid That means I ain't gassed up but I electrify shit I-ron-ic Funny how them same folk Who love your ambition start to bitchin then they hate more Suddenly I'm arrogant People say I'm self-absorbed (Nigga, you ain't shit!) Really nigga? Tell me more Tell me what I've done before, show me what I've been through How you knowin' me so well and you can't even be YOU? Niggas bangin MY drum, find your OWN to beat to Niggas hang on MY nuts, find your own to swing to I know longer talk shit, now I only speak truth Hope you enjoy the album, niggas, this just the preview Name another poet hustle harder than you seen dude I ain't even braggin, really, I ain't got a need to Everybody tell me I should try to go sleep more I already know my dreams, fuck I'm countin sheep for?
