| [00:25.73] |
I was born in Mooseknuckle where the kid was led astray |
| [00:28.19] |
Then I moved to B K where I fell in love with guns |
| [00:31.49] |
Fast forward six years later I'm a felon on the run with one |
| [00:34.74] |
Renegade Run was my alias |
| [00:36.43] |
And even when I was whylin the 'gon was a Don like Cornelius |
| [00:40.23] |
Them hoes used to chase me around |
| [00:42.10] |
None of my niggaz surprised I got models givin face to me now |
| [00:45.79] |
That I roll with a super producer plus keep the booth in a stupor |
| [00:49.09] |
That's your dog Call him or we're meetin is nock noggle |
| [00:51.95] |
I try to put all of my trouble-makin days behind me |
| [00:54.89] |
But it seem like them f**kers always find some way to find me |
| [00:57.84] |
I never thought that Just Blaze would sign me (why ) |
| [01:00.30] |
Cause he know that I fight a lot and he know my Nation is rangin grimy (yeah) |

| [01:28.76] |
(both) Or it's the cover of the XXL |
| [01:31.85] |
I never thought rhymin would help me climb the ladder of success |
| [01:34.21] |
Niggaz thought by now that I woulda took the magnum to the chest |
| [01:37.51] |
Or have the staggerin arrest record for dabblin in this |
| [01:40.32] |
I knew I shouldn'ta been in since I'm fresh up out the pen |
| [01:43.31] |
