[Intro: E-Dot]
A little bit of blood, sweat, and tears. (OK!). A lot of love. And a whole lot of time, yo. Yo. Uh huh, uh huh. Y-yo
[Verse 1: E-Dot]
Yo, this is a lifetimeās journey
This rap shit is bad pussy, just aching to burn me
Fire future retained and I cop an attorney
And all he does is read contracts. āListen, crackhead
Pick up the phone, get in touch with a contactā
Get a n***a on because my jam Beyond@t
Yeah, yeah. I rhyme, let n***a produce the tracks
Nourished by pizza slices, cheap ghetto snacks
N***a, āThirstyā written with hard-as-metal raps
My EP. Well, them critics gonā say I slack
But them same muhfuckas got n***as fiending like crack
For good shitāIām giving āem that
Iām that dope emcee, steady just giving āem dap
With a tongue. Iām fucking up these tracks, dog. N***a well-
Hung. Got a lot of love, so get this real n***a
Some. Furnished by these chronic asthma lungs
Iāve been jeered, booed, pissed
Heard āem talking about meāmotherfuckers are pissed
Receive my records staying up in the mix
When Iām chilling in the cut, like, āShit
What kind of fuckboy is this?ā
[Hook: Ill Bill]
My all is all I gots to give
Iād rather get shot in the wig than ever stop or quit
Fuck anybody that ever said weāre not the shit
Because the wit always keeping it popping, bitch
[Verse 2: Breez Evahflowinā]
Talk to the seeds in these parts of the woods
Swear up and down that it started with Puff and it started with Suge
Seeking for gains in the Garden of Goods
Thinking, āMan, I should have remained teaching art in the hoodā
But youāre without proof. Drum tracks without loops
N***as push jumb-cracks without loot? Not likely
This game will start fucking with your psyche
I found it hard for n***as not to like me, do shows and not invite me
But now the crown doesnāt entice me
Defending my craft until it knight me or knife me
Give it all I got like itās wifey, bringing it home
Stress my peeps with the shit in my dome, put a beat to it
What else to do on your daughterās birthday and you aināt allowed to speak to her?
You tell me Iām not on the hustle day-in and day-out
My fucking freestyle seemed to be my only way out
I never promised it would ever pay out. Call it a hope
And a prayer before Iām snared by the call of the yoke
And I donāt know where it gonna go. Another combo
E-Dot, Breez, and Beyond on the long road
[Hook: Ill Bill] (x2)
My all is all I gots to give
Iād rather get shot in the wig than ever stop or quit
Fuck anybody that ever said weāre not the shit
Because the wit always keeping it popping, bitch
[Bridge: Loer Velocity]
So what the deal? What you saying, god?
[Verse 3: E-Dot]
On the real, I canāt call it
I look for schemes to get some papers in my wallet
So much, I want it. On the real, I canāt afford it
Go to work, wore my dadās shirt, but then I sported
Went to university for five years, lordy
Left me with varieties of assorted
Debts and bounced checks, a future that looks horrid
Shitās so real, the lion feel my courage
Music is our mind state, dogāremain a purist
Donāt judge myself. I judge who takes the art the furthest
Meditate to a wordsmith, written with a purpose
Peace to Casino, Junior, Curtis
Word. āHey, hey, hey, E-Dot, work itā
Go to my job, a live performance in a circus
āYo, Errol, think we got a short within our circuit
Tuck in your shirt, kid. See what you can do about itā
Iām thinking, āFuck you!ā I wish that I could shout it, but I canāt
āCause beats hasnāt paid off yet
And I cannot live with regrets, survive without my checks
Need financial independenceān***a, fuck collects
[Hook: Ill Bill] (x2)
My all is all I gots to give
Iād rather get shot in the wig than ever stop or quit
Fuck anybody that ever said weāre not the shit
Because the wit always keeping it popping, bitch
