(Intro) |
| [00:03.53] |
*****s be askin' me like, |
| [00:06.84] |
"Man you took all that time off. I understand you had to |
| [00:09.18] |
get your mind right or whatever you was doin' but I'm just curious to know like... |
| [00:14.26] |
how you, how you gonna approach the next ******t?" |
| [00:17.77] |
Say it's the same way I always do, not givin' a ***** |
| [00:21.22] |
(Verse 1: Royce Da 5'9") |
| [00:22.35] |
Million dollar maker, not a faker, try to call me over the hill |
| [00:25.20] |
It's probably because you saw me chillin' beside a pile of paper |
| [00:27.64] |
Life's a Picasso painting, psych, my life's more like an obstacle, ain't it? |
| [00:31.67] |
Like it's somethin' in front of the drop, and I gotta ride around it |
| [00:34.16] |
On my way to make me another child support payment |
| [00:36.24] |
From humble beginnings, though we live lavishly now |
| [00:38.85] |
And what we couldn't afford to get, we would have it somehow |
| [00:41.86] |
Stayin' at grandma's, puddled in front of the open oven |
| [00:44.55] |
Rubbin' our hands together like Baby with cameras around |
| [00:47.46] |
Manic depressed, drawn to my tool |
| [00:49.54] |
Genetically predisposed to be a mechanic or less |
| [00:52.39] |
I handle my failures way better than I ever handled success |
| [00:55.29] |
And I let you boys be the loudest, holdin' my fo' fo' |
| [00:58.26] |
From '94, on my retro kick before I let you let go clips |
| [01:01.65] |
I'll let Michael Jordan be my stylist |
| [01:04.09] |
I'll rock one of them baggy ass Tracy McGrady suits |
| [01:07.11] |
I've been poppin' since I was 5, that was in '82 |
| [01:09.96] |
Believe that, a ***** been knockin' more lady's boots |
| [01:12.65] |
Than Kanye critiquin' at Steve Madden |
| [01:14.39] |
I'm just a LOX fan with childish thinkin' |
| [01:16.68] |
The last time I got pulled over for drunk drivin' |
| [01:19.32] |
I took the breathalyzer out the cop's hand and tried to drink it |
| [01:21.87] |
That's what I do for my community |
| [01:23.76] |
Your boo told me what she wanna do to me |
| [01:25.99] |
Before she dropped on two knees and then blew me like an opportunity |
| [01:29.24] |
(Hook: Royce da 5'9" + Venice Dawn) |
| [01:29.70] |
To me, it's what I see(Real *****) |
| [01:32.15] |
To you, it's what you do |
| [01:35.21] |
Prhyme! |
| [01:35.66] |
Ha ha ha-ha, if I could make *****s as real as me |
| [01:38.47] |
Ha ha ha-ha, I'd ask, "How come *****s ain't real as me?" |
| [01:40.76] |
To me, it's what I see |
| [01:43.24] |
To you, it's what you do |
| [01:46.35] |
Prhyme! |
| [01:47.43] |
Ha ha ha-ha, if I could make *****s as real as me |
| [01:49.55] |
Ha ha ha-ha, I'd ask, "How come *****s ain't real as me?" |
| [01:51.18] |
(Bridge: Royce da 5'9") |
| [01:53.23] |
Multiply, multiply |
| [01:56.02] |
That's what the real *****s do |
| [01:58.96] |
Multiply, multiply |
| [02:01.41] |
That's on a real ***** |
| [02:03.14] |
(Verse 2: Royce da 5'9") |
| [02:03.69] |
Your favorite rapper's up in LIV |
| [02:06.28] |
While I'm on controlled substances, search around my crib for a ***** to give |
| [02:10.19] |
But I couldn't find it |
| [02:12.14] |
My notebook should be made of a wooden binder |
| [02:14.02] |
Cause that's what my albums be sellin' |
| [02:15.85] |
But I don't give a ***** about nothin' but good ****** |
| [02:18.76] |
Long as these *****s call me GOAT |
| [02:20.38] |
If I don't get through to you the call failed |
| [02:22.72] |
Cause I was probably on that Wolf of Wall Street boat, I'm a hard sell |
| [02:25.83] |
Maybe too lyrical for 'em |
| [02:27.44] |
The Lord gave me a choice to either be king or give all Hell |
| [02:30.70] |
I chose the latter like a fireman climbin' up to a charred rail |
| [02:34.01] |
In front of Miley, steerin' a giant wreckin' ball |
| [02:37.31] |
Miss me with your mollies and your Tyrese wisdom |
| [02:39.82] |
I don't connect with y'all and these antics |
| [02:41.81] |
Today you give your life to the game |
| [02:43.29] |
Tomorrow you be posin' in pictures, lookin' like Steve Francis |
| [02:45.98] |
You ain't turnin' up, you're bein' backhanded like Pete Sampras |
| [02:49.24] |
About that, I missed my uncle's funeral to go to South by Southwest |
| [02:52.95] |
You ain't gotta appreciate it, but you better respect the fact |
| [02:56.66] |
That I'm a rapper and nothin' wack done came out my mouth yet |
| [03:00.16] |
(Hook: Royce da 5'9" + Venice Dawn) |
| [03:00.87] |
To me, it's what I see(You're welcome!) |
| [03:03.21] |
To you, it's what you do |
| [03:05.72] |
Prhyme! |
| [03:06.38] |
Ha ha ha-ha, if I could make *****s as real as me |
| [03:09.17] |
Ha ha ha-ha, I'd ask, "how come *****s ain't real as me?" |
| [03:11.55] |
To me, it's what I see |
| [03:14.15] |
To you, it's what you do |
| [03:17.10] |
Prhyme! |
| [03:17.51] |
Ha ha ha-ha, if I could make *****s as real as me |
| [03:20.35] |
Ha ha ha-ha, I'd ask, "how come *****s ain't real as me?" |
| [03:21.97] |
(Verse 3: Jay Electronica) |
| [03:22.49] |
Me and Pharaoh is like Dorothy and Toto on the brick road |
| [03:24.43] |
Crossin' at the crissroads |
| [03:25.80] |
The valleys and the alleys where the gods switch to ****** mode |
| [03:28.56] |
I came through, the Harley pipe was loud like a lion |
| [03:31.01] |
The title on the marquee said "Child out of Zion" |
| [03:33.76] |
Contemplatin' on another plane, hoverin' down lover's lane |
| [03:36.76] |
Won a great debate against the state about the mother plane |
| [03:39.56] |
He called me by that other name, I called him by his other name |
| [03:42.46] |
The lightnin' struck the internet like a screen door in a hurricane |
| [03:45.41] |
Jay Electricity, baptizin' in Felicity |
| [03:47.85] |
Where he been the past three years? It's just a mystery |
| [03:51.02] |
If it ain't come from one of my peers, it ain't a diss to me |
| [03:53.76] |
I'm a thousand leagues under the sea, *****s can't get to me |
| [03:56.56] |
The F in my middle name with the period stands for "Victory" |
| [03:59.31] |
I came from the bottoms of Hell with Jezebels |
| [04:01.85] |
Sniffin' blow with her friends in the dens of iniquity |
| [04:04.75] |
When I was young, I was confused, I thought God was a mystery |
| [04:07.24] |
But everything I knew since the time I began to grew |
| [04:10.35] |
Was taught to me by the wickedest men, who twist the histories |
| [04:13.46] |
Who pulled out the cuffs of deception and and hitched their wrist to we |
| [04:16.45] |
Now all praises due to Allah, we seein' crystally |
| [04:19.04] |
The Pyramids are there to bear witness to the gods |
| [04:21.58] |
So when the angels heard me spit, they bit their lip, this ******t is hard |
| [04:24.54] |
Utterly unstoppable, in high school I was voted most popular |
| [04:27.99] |
By the unpopular, phantom of the chakras |
| [04:29.96] |
(Hook: Royce da 5'9" + Venice Dawn) |
| [04:30.48] |
To me, it's what I see |
| [04:33.02] |
To you, it's what you do |
| [04:35.70] |
Prhyme! |
| [04:36.31] |
Ha ha ha-ha, if I could make *****s as real as me |
| [04:39.28] |
Ha ha ha-ha, I'd ask, "how come *****s ain't real as me?" |
| [04:41.32] |
To me, it's what I see |
| [04:44.22] |
To you, it's what you do |
| [04:46.81] |
Prhyme! |
| [04:47.57] |
Ha ha ha-ha, if I could make *****s as real as me |
| [04:50.38] |
Ha ha ha-ha, I'd ask, "how come *****s ain't real as me?" |
