[Verse 1: Loaded Lux]
2k11 but I'm playin' like the old Mike
Adjustin' my vocal levels and my microphone height
Black & Mild burnin' like a shot of Tiger Balm might
Warm skin against a cold night like my home life
Trade it for the strobe lights
Some tables where they bowl dice
Groupie, what your goals like?
You root for who the polls like
Tell holmes I'm known by everyone he know nice
And nothin' hurts worse
Than the cat that had to get told twice
Beat-battered, police at ya, soon as your feet gathers
Ground, they kickin' you down a weak ladder
You can't climb it, the climate gon' let the streets have ya
Or the cage or the grave: either way you'll be captured
In this maze while my legs when they raise don't leak faster
Than my age: if I could do it again, would I be made?
I mean, born to belong where these cowards ain't too strong
Do you harm in the long-run, you just want be awesome
But ha! It's awful, you n***as is lawful
Them people askin' questions and everyone's resourceful
I pinned this mic, the lies glittered in ice
To buy women for prices of high livin' is light
The dollar sign is in Christ's
Identity crisis is all around us
Illegal searches and round-ups
Real n***as better mount-up quickly
Can't afford my child'll forget me, my name—
[Hook: Loaded Lux]
I see trouble in the mornin'
But take my death into the dawn
My name shall live on
(Shall live forever, cowards die a thousand times)
I'm gon' rumble 'til my callin'
But take my death into the dawn
My name shall live on
(Shall live forever, cowards die a thousand times)
[Verse 2: Mysonne]
From a infant to a toddler, to a boy with no father
That void pushed me to go farther
No, I don't harbor harsh feelings or bother
With the lames, I just put my pains in entendres
And I ponders on the thoughts of my legacy
I wonder: if they eyes caught, would I let 'em see?
Will I ever be mentioned with the greatest?
If I does, will I ever be loved by all the haters?
And will my neighbors tell 'em what I stood for?
How I went from being my grandmama's good boy
To the man whose word was so credible
Got promoted from a soldier to a general
And no revenue can ever make me compromise
I turn down these bird clowns when they offer lies
See, I taught the guys to rise and reach for the skies
With that I shall live on and be immortalized
It's why I'm fortified amongst all the Gods
Who walk with pride and honor and wear 45's
Who would die behind bars before they signed
Affidavit the thought got me mortified
How you snitch and you look inside your daughter's eyes?
And y'all address them as G's, it's unauthorized
Before my demise I'ma stand tall
They gon' draw your man on the wall, 'cause I'm a legend
[Hook: Loaded Lux]
I see trouble in the mornin'
But take my death into the dawn
My name shall live on
(Shall live forever, cowards die a thousand times)
I'm gon' rumble 'til my callin'
But take my death into the dawn
My name shall live on
(Shall live forever, cowards die a thousand times)
