[00:36.05] (Listen!) I only note spending time away
[00:39.37] I only note the truth is spoken, best when brutally so honestly.
[00:43.71] I'll let you know you set the standards lyrically for me
[00:46.82] One single middle finger, say raise it up, my speech will always be free
[00:51.22] Like Martin Luther King, you had meaning to me
[00:54.12] Single handedly saving music starving industry
[00:58.10] A hip hop legend was skinned like invisible ink
[01:01.21] Like even though he was whiter than me
[01:03.80] He was the first to be colorless
[01:05.80] Speaking for all of us
[01:07.59] Then you let us into your family
[01:09.43] Mother, father, brother, sister, wife, daughter
[01:11.31] Damn right in front of me
[01:13.06] That's when I miss my daughter desperately
[01:15.60] Your mocking bird puts dents in me
[01:17.64] While touring press and reliving my song hate me
[01:20.22]
[01:20.82] I was losing custody, I never even saw that shit.
[01:23.63] How she played me and planned and sought it fit
[01:25.99] To turn that trick and financially she would benefit
[01:30.12] My first and probably only billboard hit
[01:32.92] Was gonna pay for my two year old's college
[01:35.13] I should have hid that shit
[01:36.69] So she couldn 't spend that shit
[01:38.76] It took twenty years of working, just to earn that shit
[01:42.34] Now word for word I've listened, heard and I'm done...done...
[01:46.54]
[01:47.14] Like you don't know,
[01:49.20] You act like you believe it that you're in control.
[01:53.51] It's just your legal system though
[01:56.21] That they don't think about you
[01:58.50] No, they don't care about you.
[02:00.63] Now every man in America take back your control
[02:04.50] Like you don't know.
[02:06.64] You act like you believe it that you're in control.
[02:10.89] It's just your legal system though
[02:13.71] That they don't think about it
[02:15.84] No, they don't care about it
[02:18.02] Now every man in America take back your control.
[02:21.75]
[02:22.32] So I kept my business quiet
[02:24.48] Just like my lawyer said.
[02:26.82] And I tried to focus on my anger and work instead.
[02:31.20] I was succeeding at self-reliant
[02:33.43] But inside my soul am dead.
[02:35.38] I had to be the sole provider
[02:37.63] But not allowed to be the dad.
[02:39.83] Literally they took her from me.
[02:41.85] Legally they did! They did!
[02:44.20] But I'm not a ****ing book
[02:46.04] So **** your book and leaking I said
[02:48.55] Yeah **** the judge. **** that county
[02:51.09] **** your family too.
[02:52.85] Yeah **** everybody that took my baby girl, Blue
[02:57.21] And I'm way too strong,
[02:59.02] I work my ass off all day long.
[03:01.51] And I'm gone for months at a time
[03:03.97] And you keep sitting there in line
[03:06.23] Bitching "Come back home"
[03:08.23] I hate you, hate you God!
[03:10.37] And then you came back home
[03:12.21] And filed for another ****ing divorce.
[03:14.90] I'm sick of her I'm sick of you
[03:19.12] I'm not sick, I'm lost up in my head.
[03:23.55] Any other man in American can get screwed just like me.
[03:28.18]
[03:31.65] Like you don't know,
[03:33.92] You act like you believe it that you're in control.
[03:38.26] It's just your legal system though
[03:40.95] That they don't think about you
[03:43.18] No, they don't care about you.
[03:45.36] Now every man in America take back your control
[03:49.24] You don't know.
[03:51.39] You act like you believe it that you're in control.
[03:55.68] It's just your legal system though
[03:58.43] That they don't think about it
[04:00.62] No, they don't care about it
[04:02.75] Now every man in America take back your control.
[04:06.62]
[04:07.26] You won't understand, probably never will.
[04:09.27] Listen, slowly I'll let you know the deal
[04:11.49] Listen,lying ass play the judge with your crying ass
[04:13.65] Had your nose wide open when you saw the cash.
[04:16.14] Grimy bitch growing tired of you trying shit.
[04:18.08] Women run the courts, men provide the chips.
[04:20.44] Well eat up bitch until you had enough bitch.
[04:22.47] But take my kids, you can kiss both my nuts bitch.
[04:24.56] Telling lies cause daddy's always on the road.
[04:26.72] But you the one ****ing like a groupie at a show.
[04:29.04] Money hungry so you try to take my youngest from me.
[04:31.15] You a dummy honey I'll chase you across the country.
[04:33.43] Bring the drama to you mamma and you mamma's mamma
[04:35.64] Cause we all know you chasing half the karma.
[04:37.84] Couple checks few houses and Gucci blouses
[04:40.06] You changing dicks like you changing outfits.
[04:42.01] Constitution now a day's got the daddies losing.
[04:44.30] Lot of fathers getting ****ed by the constitution.
[04:45.60]
[04:46.17] Like you don't know,
[04:48.09] You act like you believe it that you're in control.
[04:52.40] It's just your legal system though
[04:55.12] That they don't think about you
[04:57.38] No, they don't care about you.

[05:03.55] You Don't Know!

[05:20.63]
