[01:44.28]All his new acquitances,gassed his head,takin' it
[01:47.28]To the point where he lost proper perspective
[01:50.28]Started cuttin' off the people,he came up wit
[01:53.24]Ego blown like his soul had been abducted

[02:08.85]And his skills has since decreased and the inner hunger ceased
[02:11.71]Now content,just as long as fame and cash come
[02:14.57]He's a big willie now, rappin' 'bout cars
[02:17.42]Thousand dollar shoppin' sprees,hangin' out with stars
[02:20.83]I mean just a year ago, he was broke
[02:23.35]Bummin' money,drinkin' out the 40 bottle,livin' outdoors

[02:57.44]Now the new poster boy with the hip now sound
[03:00.35]Second time around everything isn't stable as
