[00:02.280](Intro)
[00:02.930]*****s be askin' me like,
[00:06.240]"Man you took all that time off. I understand you had to
[00:08.580]get your mind right or whatever you was doin' but I'm just curious to know like...
[00:13.660]how you, how you gonna approach the next ******t?"
[00:17.170]Say it's the same way I always do, not givin' a *****
[00:20.620](Verse 1: Royce Da 5'9")
[00:21.750]Million dollar maker, not a faker, try to call me over the hill
[00:24.600]It's probably because you saw me chillin' beside a pile of paper
[00:27.040]Life's a Picasso painting, psych, my life's more like an obstacle, ain't it?
[00:31.070]Like it's somethin' in front of the drop, and I gotta ride around it
[00:33.560]On my way to make me another child support payment
[00:35.640]From humble beginnings, though we live lavishly now
[00:38.250]And what we couldn't afford to get, we would have it somehow
[00:41.260]Stayin' at grandma's, puddled in front of the open oven
[00:43.950]Rubbin' our hands together like Baby with cameras around
[00:46.860]Manic depressed, drawn to my tool
[00:48.940]Genetically predisposed to be a mechanic or less
[00:51.790]I handle my failures way better than I ever handled success
[00:54.690]And I let you boys be the loudest, holdin' my fo' fo'
[00:57.660]From '94, on my retro kick before I let you let go clips
[01:01.050]I'll let Michael Jordan be my stylist
[01:03.490]I'll rock one of them baggy ass Tracy McGrady suits
[01:06.510]I've been poppin' since I was 5, that was in '82
[01:09.360]Believe that, a ***** been knockin' more lady's boots
[01:12.050]Than Kanye critiquin' at Steve Madden
[01:13.790]I'm just a LOX fan with childish thinkin'
[01:16.080]The last time I got pulled over for drunk drivin'
[01:18.720]I took the breathalyzer out the cop's hand and tried to drink it
[01:21.270]That's what I do for my community
[01:23.160]Your boo told me what she wanna do to me
[01:25.390]Before she dropped on two knees and then blew me like an opportunity
[01:28.640](Hook: Royce da 5'9" + Venice Dawn)
[01:29.100]To me, it's what I see(Real *****)
[01:31.550]To you, it's what you do
[01:34.610]Prhyme!
[01:35.060]Ha ha ha-ha, if I could make *****s as real as me
[01:37.870]Ha ha ha-ha, I'd ask, "How come *****s ain't real as me?"
[01:40.160]To me, it's what I see
[01:42.640]To you, it's what you do
[01:45.750]Prhyme!
[01:46.830]Ha ha ha-ha, if I could make *****s as real as me
[01:48.950]Ha ha ha-ha, I'd ask, "How come *****s ain't real as me?"
[01:50.580](Bridge: Royce da 5'9")
[01:52.630]Multiply, multiply
[01:55.420]That's what the real *****s do
[01:58.360]Multiply, multiply
[02:00.810]That's on a real *****
[02:02.540](Verse 2: Royce da 5'9")
[02:03.090]Your favorite rapper's up in LIV
[02:05.680]While I'm on controlled substances, search around my crib for a ***** to give
[02:09.590]But I couldn't find it
[02:11.540]My notebook should be made of a wooden binder
[02:13.420]Cause that's what my albums be sellin'
[02:15.250]But I don't give a ***** about nothin' but good ******
[02:18.160]Long as these *****s call me GOAT
[02:19.780]If I don't get through to you the call failed
[02:22.120]Cause I was probably on that Wolf of Wall Street boat, I'm a hard sell
[02:25.230]Maybe too lyrical for 'em
[02:26.840]The Lord gave me a choice to either be king or give all Hell
[02:30.100]I chose the latter like a fireman climbin' up to a charred rail
[02:33.410]In front of Miley, steerin' a giant wreckin' ball
[02:36.710]Miss me with your mollies and your Tyrese wisdom
[02:39.220]I don't connect with y'all and these antics
[02:41.210]Today you give your life to the game
[02:42.690]Tomorrow you be posin' in pictures, lookin' like Steve Francis
[02:45.380]You ain't turnin' up, you're bein' backhanded like Pete Sampras
[02:48.640]About that, I missed my uncle's funeral to go to South by Southwest
[02:52.350]You ain't gotta appreciate it, but you better respect the fact
[02:56.060]That I'm a rapper and nothin' wack done came out my mouth yet
[02:59.560](Hook: Royce da 5'9" + Venice Dawn)
[03:00.270]To me, it's what I see(You're welcome!)
[03:02.610]To you, it's what you do
[03:05.120]Prhyme!
[03:05.780]Ha ha ha-ha, if I could make *****s as real as me
[03:08.570]Ha ha ha-ha, I'd ask, "how come *****s ain't real as me?"
[03:10.950]To me, it's what I see
[03:13.550]To you, it's what you do
[03:16.500]Prhyme!
[03:16.910]Ha ha ha-ha, if I could make *****s as real as me
[03:19.750]Ha ha ha-ha, I'd ask, "how come *****s ain't real as me?"
[03:21.370](Verse 3: Jay Electronica)
[03:21.890]Me and Pharaoh is like Dorothy and Toto on the brick road
[03:23.830]Crossin' at the crissroads
[03:25.200]The valleys and the alleys where the gods switch to ****** mode
[03:27.960]I came through, the Harley pipe was loud like a lion
[03:30.410]The title on the marquee said "Child out of Zion"
[03:33.160]Contemplatin' on another plane, hoverin' down lover's lane
[03:36.160]Won a great debate against the state about the mother plane
[03:38.960]He called me by that other name, I called him by his other name
[03:41.860]The lightnin' struck the internet like a screen door in a hurricane
[03:44.810]Jay Electricity, baptizin' in Felicity
[03:47.250]Where he been the past three years? It's just a mystery
[03:50.420]If it ain't come from one of my peers, it ain't a diss to me
[03:53.160]I'm a thousand leagues under the sea, *****s can't get to me
[03:55.960]The F in my middle name with the period stands for "Victory"
[03:58.710]I came from the bottoms of Hell with Jezebels
[04:01.250]Sniffin' blow with her friends in the dens of iniquity
[04:04.150]When I was young, I was confused, I thought God was a mystery
[04:06.640]But everything I knew since the time I began to grew
[04:09.750]Was taught to me by the wickedest men, who twist the histories
[04:12.860]Who pulled out the cuffs of deception and and hitched their wrist to we
[04:15.850]Now all praises due to Allah, we seein' crystally
[04:18.440]The Pyramids are there to bear witness to the gods
[04:20.980]So when the angels heard me spit, they bit their lip, this ******t is hard
[04:23.940]Utterly unstoppable, in high school I was voted most popular
[04:27.390]By the unpopular, phantom of the chakras
[04:29.360](Hook: Royce da 5'9" + Venice Dawn)
[04:29.880]To me, it's what I see
[04:32.420]To you, it's what you do
[04:35.100]Prhyme!
[04:35.710]Ha ha ha-ha, if I could make *****s as real as me
[04:38.680]Ha ha ha-ha, I'd ask, "how come *****s ain't real as me?"
[04:40.720]To me, it's what I see
[04:43.620]To you, it's what you do
[04:46.210]Prhyme!
[04:46.970]Ha ha ha-ha, if I could make *****s as real as me
[04:49.780]Ha ha ha-ha, I'd ask, "how come *****s ain't real as me?"
