[Verse]
Give it up, it's not in your plans to live it up
It's like you dreamin' too big and you should be stuck
You should be more like the have-nots
Why try to battle the clock?
You can't get it done, you need to stop
They said I'd never make it, I did it anyway
Locked in, dedicated until I make a way
Constantly buildin', I work towards it every day
Sometimes you gotta go against the odds and what people say
Tomorrow's not promised, neither is next week (Nah)
No love in these streets, don't fall deaf on death's speech (Preach)
Look at the hearts of men
And find a heart of sin, no need to blend (No need to mix)
I'm puttin' ten-thousand hours in
People show grins and pray on your downfall
Minds is small, but all in all
I had to get it together, this world is small
Shoot you in the head, you need Tylenol (B-bah, bah! Zazazazaza!)
I keep it raw, fuck what a n***a think
They tried to change me so many times, but you fuckin' can't
I just study, remain wise, n***as know I'm great
It's the 50 Tape Legend, and you n***as ain't (You n***as ain't, man)
You better flank, I never said I was a fuckin' saint (I ain't a saint)
Put in your place, I bet I say it to you n***as' face
Open the safe, take a deposit to my nearest bank
I just put the words together hopin' you can relate
