[00:02.88](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?"
