[Verse 1: FR33STYLE]
Now I don't usually say much so when I speak up you better listen
So grab a seat and sit up close to find out what you've been missin'
What goes on inside my mind, only few can find
But you can find out if you take the time
And not much has changed
My memories fade, but my love stays the same
Playing like D-Wade, devoted to the game
Each day I wake up say "Good Morning" like Yeezy
Go for a quick jog cause I Run This Town, man Jay-Z
I'm not lazy, I let these days be, I find that easy for breathing
So I'm not Weezy, do you see me?
I'm absent from class, man no show
But I'm not extinct like the Dodo
I have ups and downs man Yo-Yo
But I'm still above average, not so-so
I'm hot like cocoa, I hip and hop like pogo
Always keeping it my way like Loso, you know?
Man, I'm so down to earth, but I still reach for the stars
My dreams keep on hurting me, you can still see all my scars
Cause I'm put down constantly, I face alot of scrutiny
Why you all acting like I missed my window of opportunity?
Who am I facing? Do I really know?
My nemesis is any man who opposes me I suppose
The ones always available to taunt me, attempting everyday to daunt me
Even showing up in my nightmares so they can haunt me
These people so lost and confused
They're moving too fast, gonna walk right out their shoes
Telling me the game changed like I didn't get the memo
Now I'm feeling the need to get traded like Carmelo
Countdown, they're ticking me off, almost by design
But do they realize they're crossing a fine line
Thinking they have the right to invade
While they raid on my party and rain on my parade?
But in my head they don't matter, their words are like mindless chatter
Switch on the light once and they scatter
So nevermind what you saw in the newspaper or heard from your landscaper
Man, haters gonna hate, imagine a world without them
Now wouldn't that be great?
Then again, we could debate
Is it self-inflicted or is it fate
That's just one of the questions raised
People deal with them in different ways
Some people try to cheat 'em or mislead 'em
But they don't know what they doing cause they need 'em
That's the ticket to freedom, you punch it when you beat 'em
They say I got a few screws loose
But I'm just playing with 'em man - Duck Duck Goose
But who should I choose?
Whoever I guess which one of you wants to lose!
Cause I got way more swagger than a player who just hit a last shot dagger
Got no problem with these doubters that I block out
I'll take 'em down like a first-round knockout
Around me haters dropping like flies
It's no surprise I've seen through your disguise
You're such an easy assignment, luck must be on my side
The stars must be in alignment
Why don't you say hi to my bloody knuckles
Soon you'll be beaten and bruised
Under this pressure your body buckles, got you all dazed and confused
So you better watch your property
Cause I'll deface you like graffiti
Show you no respect, but I'll do it real neatly
Coming into the tourney I'm labeled as a dark horse
Other teams act surprised when I come in hard, going full force
That's how I play, rebel-style, like I'm seceding from the Union
No surrendering for me though cause succeeding is just too fun
The greater the risk, the greater the reward
Gotta do whatever it takes to light up the scoreboard
That's how I'm rising up the ranks
Living it up, popping bottles of champagne
Bringing change like the Obama campaign
Sitting on top of the worldwide leaders, call me Canada
So start handing over your respect cause I'm the man of the
Century, whether I sneeze or not, ya'll be blessing me
I'm getting tired of these boys who be testing me
When I'm done with 'em, I say "rest in peace"
But I keep on going and going - Energizer Bunny
I ain't finished 'til I gotta big stack of money
You just a one-hit-wonder who got no reputation
I hit the scene hard man, Youtube sensation
My beats inside your head, that's infestation
Style looking good, keeping fine presentation
Fame and fortune being my top aspiration
The top of the charts is my only destination!
