[Intro: Jet 2]
You know, just like Lupe say
I'ma keep goin', and goin'
And goin' 'til I feel satisfied with it, like

[Chorus: Jay-Z]
Thank God for grantin' me
This moment of clarity
This moment of honesty
The world'll feel my truths
Behold my hard knock lifetime
My gift and a curse
I gave you volume after volume of my work
So you could feel my truths
I built a dynasty by being one of the realest n***as out
Way beyond a reasonable doubt (y'all can't fill my shoes)
From my blueprint beginnin' to my Black Album endin'
Listen close, you'll hear what I'm about
N***a feel my truths

[Verse 1: Jet 2]
I took attempts at this rap shit, 'cause I didn't have much
And now the ones closest to me; be the ones to pass judgеment
Like, "he said this, hе didn't say that,"
I'm like, "fuck it, it's hard to please the world,"
And half of them n***as is bad judges
So I look past their discussion of my lyrics
'Cause the message I put in it
90% will listen, but they won't hear it
So fuck it, I still manage to surprise 'em when I don't try to
Stoppin' me is like asking the nighttime to stop the sun from rising
If I can't excel with talent; I'ma triumph in effort
It's like magic; "tadas!" I'm rising forever
They try to break me into little pieces
But legends never die, y'all muhhfuckas'll be tryin' forever (ah)
Give up my destiny; I'll never, nor have I ever thought to try the shit
I might take a different direction towards my destination
But this is my map, I'm test-driving it, n***a
The world thinks I'm crazy; Moms thinks I'm on drugs
But I'm neither; I'm just like y'all, but not afraid to say the shit
Not afraid to show who I am deep inside
Or never been before, I'm just a stubborn n***a refuse to conform
Never followed fashion trends, I skipped the pretty boy stage
Heart-broken, nuts get bigger, that's a decent exchange
Learned to think with my second head
From the school of UGG boots and pressin' combs
'Cause thinkin' wit' my heart just died
And n***as hate another n***a' happiness
I tried to make everyone around me happy
But I pack my bags, and it's
Back to this, "I don't give a fuck," stage
Fuck what people say or think, I'm settin' my own path in this
Rappin' shit, and for the pursuit of happiness
I had to think I can while listenin' to garbage n***as trash my shit
But you don't hear me though
I dropped the trash can garbage
Recycle a few, and now my cycle is new
And I emerge from the cycle like, legend rise, legend dies
I ain't legendary, just pavin' way for my brethren, why
Do you wanna see me fall?
I'm just tryna live, and y'all
Listen to my shit hopin' I can't come up with better lines
Listen up, I don't rap for lines
I don't rap for y'all
I rap for my n***as that feel this shit from the heart
And fuck a big break, fuck gettin' signed
N***a, this world is mine; God told me from the start
But y'all n***as misunderstand all the shit I say
And half of y'all are way too blind to see the pics I paint
N***a, so if you ain't willing to ask for my information
Keep my name out your mouth, or my dick in your face
N***a, I don't mean to be angry, but y'all n***as make me
Angry to the point I have to show n***as
They can never make me stop
I'm a reckless driver, bitch I'm runnin' red lights
Traffic jams'll never break me
They wanna see me crash, but not by accident, but just crash
So I'm drivin' into the opposite lane
Doin' about a buck fifty, bumpin' N.W.A
Then I crash, haters die, the whole time I was in a plane, n***a
[Chorus: Jay-Z]
Thank God for grantin' me
This moment of clarity
This moment of honesty
The world'll feel my truths
Behold my hard knock lifetime
My gift and a curse
I gave you volume after volume of my work
So you could feel my truths
I built a dynasty by being one of the realest n***as out
Way beyond a reasonable doubt (y'all can't fill my shoes)
From my blueprint beginnin' to my Black Album endin'
Listen close, you'll hear what I'm about
N***a feel my truths
