[Intro]
Yeah, they don't make shit sound dirty like this, Harry
Let me talk to 'em real quick
[Verse 1]
Yeah, look what you all did to me
But I turned all that blissful misery into ministry
Excuse my delivery but I don't really mince words
I don't approach with tensed nerves, that's how us men purge
You're shittin' me, the things that I'm capable of physically
That's with my bare hands, I could spin blocks and bend curves, victory
Everything about Ran' is a mystery
Except my ability, I etch my name out in history
Sketch the pain out so vividly, it's artistry
I paint things horribly and turn my poverty into sovereignty
They still lookin' awkwardly, they thinkin' I'm a novеlty
Or some anomaly 'cause I write my lyrics with honеsty
It's just a part of me, just skim through my discography
Majority'll say I’m the greatest breathin', arguably
Yeah, y'all just makin' things hard for me
But wholeheartedly, they won't bow down to authority
[Chorus]
No time for playin' games, don't wanna have to start namin' names
But I'ma say some names 'cause
A chain of command is the only chain I claim
So don't ever stall the line and fall behind by chasin' fame, damn
And now we gotta wonder who raised y'all
Real n***as don't play hard 'cause ain't no comin' back from a graveyard
No timid blood runs through these brave hearts
I'm hopin' you stay sharp and never turn your back in a face-off
[Verse 2]
They thinkin' I'm kinda nuts and still wonderin' where my screws went
In 1999, they was checkin' me for some new prints
Little red Corvette, purple rain on my new mink
In my lifetime, no reasonable doubt I gave 'em the blueprint
And never got a title, but scripted the holy grail in the Bible
Loaded tales of a rival
They said it was written, that hip-hop was nearly dead on arrival
I fear the feds for survival, no tears are shed for your idols
Turned civilized men to savage too, see that is true
'Cause n***a I am magic too, we passing through
Stop your moles, in a glass house they throwing rocks and stones
Still life is good but you gotta watch the throne
And if you don't, you get a king's disease
They say I'm like Jordan with unfinished business, how many rings you need?
I'm God's son but still a street disciple
They say the worst thing you can do is try to beat your idols
[Chorus]
No time for playin' games, don't wanna have to start namin' names
But I'ma say some names 'cause
A chain of command is the only chain I claim
So don't ever stall the line and fall behind by chasin' fame, damn
And now we gotta wonder who raised y'all
Real n***as don't play hard 'cause ain't no comin' back from a graveyard
No timid blood runs through these brave hearts
I'm hopin' you stay sharp and never turn your back in a face-off
