[01:14.75] Commentators ringside try watchin my paper
[01:17.08] Almost a decade quite impressive
[01:19.22] Most of the best is in the essence
[01:21.04] For this rap shit that I stand for
[01:22.59] Expandin more to the big screen
[01:24.23] Bill Gates dreams
[01:25.37] But it seems you'd rather see me
[01:26.81] In jail with state greens
[01:28.01] Want me off the scene fast
[01:29.46] But good things last
[01:30.47] Like your favorite MC still

[02:20.50] Nuttin to play with
[02:21.44] Hate on me I blew but I'm the same ol G
[02:23.71] People warn me
[02:24.65] When you're on top there's envy
[02:26.22] Took my niggas out the hood
[02:28.11] But you doubt on us
[02:29.05] Sayin we left the hood but
[02:30.25] Can't get it out of us
[02:31.63] My bad should I step out my shoes
[02:33.90] Give 'em to you
[02:34.60] Here's my cars and my house
[02:35.85] You can live in that too
[02:37.05] Criticize when I flow for the streets
[02:39.25] Hate my dress code
[02:40.34] Gucci this Fendi that
[02:41.28] What you expect hoe
[02:42.72] Nickname Esco'
[02:44.11] Took this game to its threshold
[02:45.74] Best flow I bet the whole U S know
[02:47.69] Try to make it like you the realest
[02:49.65] But who the illest
[02:50.72] Think we all know the answer to that

[03:22.25] I like this I like the way this feels
[03:25.18] It's a thin line between paper and hate
[03:27.57] Friends and snakes nine millis and thirty-eights
[03:29.96] Hell or the pearly gates; I was destined to come
[03:33.24] Predicted blame God he blew breath in my lungs
[03:36.08] Second to none wicked turn wives to widows
[03:38.66] Shoot through satin pillows the desolate one
[03:41.13] Took a little time to claim my spot
[03:43.33] Chairman of the board until this game stop
[03:45.59] And I side with the Lord
[03:46.79] Ride for the cause while drivin niggas shot at my doors
[03:49.18] Plottin I'm sure to catch me
[03:50.76] With they glocks to my jaws
[03:51.95] Tried stickin me up
[03:53.21] But I flipped on these ducks (you tried)
[03:55.10] Instead of me ambulances were picking them up
[03:57.11] (That's what you get)
[03:58.05] Niggas fear what they don't understand
[03:59.38] Hate what they can't conquer
[04:00.57] Guess it's just the fury of man
[04:02.31] Became a monster on top of the world never fallin
