Lyrics

[00:35.38] So we made it to the same end the road
[00:39.12]
[00:40.63] And we picked up lots of chicks and pots of gold
[00:43.90]
[00:45.52] How i made it out with my soul
[01:00.05] Ashtrays and cigarretes last days indigenous people
[01:02.90] These are adventures of young black millionaires
[01:05.21] I am the voice of the meek and underprivileged
[01:07.16] The smell of success i want y'all to get a whiff of this
[01:10.61] On the move like black slaves through the wilderness
[01:12.62] I write it and still get invited to white christmases
[01:14.70]
[01:15.23] When i was born three wise men came to visit us
[01:18.04] One a hustler one a king one a prisoner
[01:20.63] They cracked the bottle then started giving gifts
[01:23.17] You from chicago we want you to deliver this
[01:25.57] Show the walking dead who the truly living is
[01:28.06] Separate the fake from who the real reals is
[01:30.21] Hot tub time machine back to the sybaris
[01:32.81] Hats from liquor stores to avoid syphilis
[01:35.57] Frivolous spending drunk nights with storybook endings
[01:38.46] I guess it's my addiction to women
[01:40.06]
[01:40.74] I was in france hennessey blending
[01:42.91] Writing my own scripts like i'm tennessee williams
[01:45.21] Now it's new beginnings like a born again christian
[01:47.65] On the mic victorious story is redemption
[01:50.25]
[01:51.91] I'm sitting at the top i'm not alone
[01:54.52]
[02:05.60] Feed our souls with two fish and five loaves
[02:08.14] Teach a man to cook it for survival
[02:10.12]
[02:10.74] My dad said it rained on my arrival
[02:13.11] Now a storm of the brain make these guys drive slow
[02:15.89] Like i was 5-0 but my creed's apollo
[02:18.52] On the rock and roll with the coldest live show
[02:20.53] For those before i came i'm made the song cry for 'em
[02:23.37] Lyrical gymnast you set the bar low
[02:25.63] This is that kilimanjaro like twitter you can follow
[02:28.00] It may be hard to read like hieroglyphics
[02:30.62] Written on the walls of cairo check my youth revival
[02:33.49] Truth inside flow i stand like em did with dido
[02:36.02] Crashed parties any live yo
[02:37.47] Is libel to get banged like things that rival tribal slang
[02:40.95] From the killed the game and watched it die slow
[02:43.86] Ali mc i fight for more than the title
[02:45.82] Your idol
[02:46.51]
[02:51.81] So we made it to the same end the road
[02:55.60]
[02:57.04] And we picked up lots of chicks and pots of gold
[03:00.22]
[03:02.00] How i made it out with my soul
