(Come land on my shoulder) (I ain't gonna hurt you) (I ain't gonna hurt you, hurt you) (I ain't gonna hurt you, hurt you, hurt you) A little bird landed on my shoulder and told me soon you'll be hated The next day my brother came up to me sayin' it must be great to famous I don't know how to take this 'Cause I've seen so many problem's I could be an actual math equation That's the truth that I'm facing And this rappin' shit ain't enough to put food on my plate It's hard enough tryin' to scrounge up funds to take my girl on a date I'm a college drop-out no backup plan I don't know if your ass can relate But I'ma move you with music, that's all that I got So when I speak I'm gonna make sure it's great, motherfucker I'm the same with the bird, damnit you heard If I'm comin' at you man you better pray I reverse I'm a snake with the fangs on a dangerous curve Put your ass up in a ditch, get out my lane when a swerve You can say I'm the worst 'cause I rape every verse 'til I'm laid in the hearse I don't play with the words what I say I assert 'Cause I'm tryna make a livin' playin' games with the birds Made to be first so I name what it's worth My name, what it's worth Everything from my birth to the day that I'm earth To the motherfuckin' dirt from my grave has emerged From the ground to the crowd at my grave it dispersed Man, I can't be discouraged I ain't afraid of the work nor the pain and the hurt I'ma put some change on my purse Come land on my shoulder I ain't gonna hurt you I ain't gonna hurt you, hurt you I ain't gonna hurt you Come land on my shoulder I ain't gonna hurt you I ain't gonna hurt you, hurt you I ain't gonna hurt you (Hurt you, hurt you) If I planted a seed then you can be sure I'ma grow it Spent time developin' these techniques I sowed it then I showed it Over time it bounced around so much that it almost exploded And now I'm rowin' my boat from down a stream into the ocean A rough one, the current is coming in and I don't if I'll get out Been stuck in the past so long that I am not sure what all this is about But I man up, here it comes, everything ain't what it seems Gotta be careful developin' dreams, the shit that you stitch can rip at the seams Came in the game at a name in a lane that a lot of folks still take as a joke That's okay folks go ahead wrap this rope 'round your throat And get to levitatin' watch me kick the bucket while you croak Frogs hoppin' lily pads on frozen lakes I'm blowin' smoke And you drop the caskets all bastards Country boys 'bout to damage 'Bout to go bananas wavin' bandanas We're gonna rush it exactly as planned it When I come back I will never relax 'Cause I'm conditioned on this track I'ma hit three laps take one step back on their ass Then I'ma till 'em that stack Come land on my shoulder I ain't gonna hurt you I ain't gonna hurt you, hurt you I ain't gonna hurt you Come land on my shoulder I ain't gonna hurt you I ain't gonna hurt you, hurt you I ain't gonna hurt you (Hurt you, hurt you)
