When I'm feelin' low I don't show 'em If I ain't seen 'em in 10 then I don't know 'em This my life, this is no poem It's no discussion, I owe no one Nothing bleedin' over from when I was broken, wasn't fixed When I was payin' engineers to over-mix Just wanted to stay in the studio with older kids (You know?) Be a soldier, get a task and then attack it And then I start to pass it and serve the rappers in my bracket I admit I wasn't first in line I took it slow and did my best through the worst of times I don't waste words so the verse will rhyme I up myself and go to pray, that's why the church designed Amen, gangsters don't dance, all they do is this Blueberry yum yum in Amsterdam like Ludacris I'm the type to smoke, not the type to drink Took the day to write, I use the night to think (All of that said) Turn the system up, I'm all in the red Maybe everything is all in my head All of that said Three hours behind on a whole 'nother type a time Where we at? Let's get it, uh Vision impaired from the shit that I gritted and bared Toting them infrared blicks wit' the kicks and the snares That I clenched for the stares, I don't flinch or get scared When it's a hit, I'm prepared, catch a glimpse from the feds Hair trigger on my strig, pull it like a string Got all drugs in every color for the hypes and fiends I dare a nigga on my son to try to knight the king I bet he wake up in the scope of a sniper's dream I roll the dope up by the beam, mix the sprite with lean Ain't have to steam clean the kit for my ice to bling Go home with them scony scams, we'll fry the scene (Cha-ching) Nutso quick to plot and plan, I'm the type to scheme For the love of the riches and diamond rings (Uh-huh) They all big I's and little U's, it ain't no I in team (No I in team) My Chinatown connect, he went up on the price of tea (China) His nose was somethin' like the slate, I had to wipe it clean What else? All of that said Let me hear it back, yo All of that said All of that said All of that said Run that back The, the, the noise is, is scaring me That's the storms, I gotta run—
