[00:20.94]Motherfuckers say that I'm foolish, I only talk about jewels
[00:24.50]Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?
[00:27.51]See I'm influenced by the ghetto you ruined
[00:29.66]That same dude you gave nothing, I made something doing
[00:33.01]What I do, through and through and I gave you the news with a twist it's just his ghetto point of view
[00:38.85]The renegade you been afraid
[00:40.85]I penetrate pop culture, bring 'em a lot closer to the block where they
[00:44.21]pop toasters, and they live with they mums
[00:46.86]Got dropped roasters, from botched robberies niggas crotched over
[00:49.61]Mummy's knocked up cause she wasn't watched over
[00:52.52]Knocked down by some clown when child support knocked
[00:55.72]No he's not around now how that sound to ya, jot it down
[00:58.62]I'll bring you through the ghetto without ridin round
[01:00.77]hiding down duckin strays from frustrated youths stuck in they ways
[01:04.36]Just read a magazine that fucked up my day
[01:06.82]How you rate music that thugs with nothing relate to it?
[01:10.33]I help them see they way through it, not you.
[01:12.33]Can't step in my pants, can't walk in my shoes
[01:14.77]Bet everything you worth; you lose your tie and your shirt.
[01:17.57]Since I'm in a position to talk to these kids and they listen
[01:20.27]I ain't no politician but I'll kick it with em a minute
[01:22.92]Cause see they call me a menace and if the shoe fits I'll wear it
[01:25.82]But if it don't, then ya'll swallow the truth grin and bear it
[01:28.78]Now who's the king of these rude ludicrous lucrative lyrics
[01:31.58]Who could inherit the title, put the youth in hysterics
[01:34.32]Using his music to steer it sharing his views in his marriage
[01:36.83]But there's a huge interference they're sayin you shouldn't hear it
[01:39.98]Maybe it's hatred I spew, maybe it's food for the spirit
[01:42.57]Maybe it's beautiful music I made for you to just cherish
[01:45.47]But I'm debated disputed hated and viewed in America
[01:47.83]as a motherfuckin drug addict like you didn't experiment?
[01:51.46]Now now, that's when you start to stare at who's in the mirror
[01:53.97]and see yourself as a kid again, and you get embarrassed
[01:56.91]And I got nothing to do but make you look stupid as parents
[01:59.50]You fuckin do-gooders - too bad you couldn't DO-GOOD at marriage!
[02:02.30]And do you have any clue what I had to do to get here I don't
[02:05.05]think you do so stay tuned and keep your ears glued to the stereo
[02:08.09]Cause here we go, he's {Jigga durra Jigga da chk Jigga}

[02:30.46]Cause I'm a (RENEGADE) Never been afraid to holler
[02:33.30]about anything (ANYTHING) anything (ANYTHING)
[02:36.65]I had to hustle, my back to the wall, ashy knuckles
[02:39.36]Pockets filled with a lot of lint, not a cent
[02:41.85]Gotta vent, lot of innocent of lives lost on the project bench
[02:44.96]What you hollarin? Gotta pay rent, bring dollars in
[02:48.06]By the bodega, iron under my coat, feelin braver
[02:51.01]Doo-rag wrappin my waves up, pockets full of hope
[02:53.71]Do not step to me I'm awkward, I box leftier often
[02:56.37]My pops left me an orphan, my momma wasn't home
[02:59.42]Could not stress to me I wasn't growin, specially on nights
[03:02.48]I brought something home to quiet the stomach rumblings
[03:05.52]My demeanor thirty years my senior
[03:07.57]My childhood didn't mean much, only raisin greener
[03:10.47]Raisin my fingers to critics raisin my head to the sky
[03:13.47]Big I did it multi(i) before I die (nigga)
[03:15.72]No lie, just know I chose my own fate
[03:18.77]I drove by the fork in the road and went straight.

[03:24.08]Jesus Christ the King of these Latter Day Saints here
[03:26.86]To shatter the picture in which of that as they paint me
[03:29.77]as a mother of hate, Satan and scatter-brained atheist
[03:32.67]But that ain't the case, see it's a matter of taste
[03:35.16]We as a people decide if Shady's as bad as they say he is
[03:38.21]Or is he the ladder, a gateway to escape?
[03:40.26]Media scapegoat, they can be mad at today
[03:43.66]See it's as easy as cake, simple as whistling Dixie
[03:46.61]while I'm wavin the pistol at sixty Christians against me
[03:49.67]Go to war with the Mormons, take a bath with the Catholics
[03:52.11]in holy water no wonder they try to hold me under longer
