[00:04.94] Splendidyang
[00:08.61]
[00:13.80] How much must I repeat?
[00:15.40] We only play for keeps
[00:17.08] No time-outs, no free throws
[00:18.65] No refs, no penalties
[00:20.39] No handouts, no pit stops
[00:22.06] No cheat codes, no sleep
[00:23.66] But the drinks are on us
[00:25.16] If you with it then pull up a seat
[00:26.67]
[00:27.19] When you're roaming through the jungle
[00:28.56] Talk is nothing, talk is cheap
[00:30.07] Time is money, money is power
[00:31.62] Power corrupts eventually, damn
[00:34.05] So what are the options?
[00:35.16] What are the choices left for me?
[00:36.65] What other rule there's left to break
[00:38.24] I guess my faith is a quest for me
[00:39.97] Man got a dog and ain't got no leash
[00:41.66] Man got a crib, it ain't got no lease
[00:43.24] Man got a floater that got no brain
[00:44.87] But I still get brain, oh it has no teeth
[00:46.84] Nowadays, niggas the killas on the beat
[00:50.68] But where I was raised all of the killas was down the street
[00:53.34] Better do your research
[00:54.80] Feeling like I fell out of the sky and landed feet first
[00:58.06] My swag go hard, my swag go country, watch my theme work
[01:01.46] Hell yea, you can sail that, the boy fend to it cause I took my seat first
[01:04.84] 3 course meal, full entrée, refills and I want my desert
[01:08.07] So why not make a toast? Tomorrow could always be worst
[01:11.46] Now keep them bottles coming by the killer liter
[01:14.11] And get that Ana off your chest, try to keep a clean shirt
[01:18.14] I'm so grand hustle, you ain't even in my league sir
[01:21.49] What's up with these nerds?
[01:23.18] They be out here, gettin' their silenced off, gettin' their leads heard
[01:26.51] The game just ain't what it used to be, the quality is blurred
[01:29.95] But a dying breed survives and a dynasty immerse
[01:33.19] So put it in for out if you entirely concur
[01:36.41] She call me hippie cause I live without any concern
[01:39.78] Up on this green earth, I'm on them green herbs
[01:43.07] Yea yea yea, I stay in them trees like the keblers
[01:48.39] And they say that I look higher in person
[01:50.38] As a kid I played in the yard, but now I'm astro turfing
[01:53.70] I lived the actual version of the fantasies they utter
[01:56.97] Map stories of threesomes, they must just be seeing double
[02:00.97] Run for cover, here comes trouble
[02:03.69] My heart is going cold so I gotta sleep with warmer covers
[02:06.98] Polar bear pimpin', solar flare spittin'
[02:10.35] Somebody tell 'em that this is professional stuntin' and don't attempt it
[02:13.67] Society is twisted, they tryna take us under
[02:17.05] So when you see them folks, don't forget to warn a brother
[02:20.47] I made it out alive but still the battle is a struggle
[02:23.75] Veni, vidi, vici, I came, I saw, I conquered
[02:27.04] The masters have murdered the game
[02:28.57] And their name wasn't in the wheel
[02:30.27] You see, my citizens are some mad rappers who's still waiting on a deal
[02:33.56] And they jealous of my success cause my shoes cost more than their bill
[02:37.00] But I'll never sit down at another table unless I'm invited to the meal
[02:40.39] To some it's like conquering mountains, to me it's like stepping on heels
[02:43.53] Remember the images in your mirror can be bigger than they appear
[02:46.92] And the truth can be hard to swallow, the pivenous eyes of the peal
[02:50.24] And by the looks it's about the time that you had your prescription sealed
[02:54.17] My life, fooling speech or presentation
[02:56.99] There are no intermissions, no time for commercial breaking
[03:00.40] A fighter in his prime, a legend in the making
[03:03.57] There's no debating when you let your numbers make the statement
[03:06.96]
[03:07.57] How much must I repeat?
[03:08.83] We only play for keeps
[03:10.32] No time-outs, no free throws
[03:11.95] No refs, no penalties
[03:13.57] No handouts, no pit stops
[03:15.31] No cheat codes, no sleep
