rate me

<BR>

<i>[Talking]</i><br>

Good Evening<br>

<i>[clears throat]</i><br>

Ladies and gentlemen<br>

I'd like to welcome everybody<br>

Please take your seats<br>

Please be seated<br>

We have a great show lined up for everybody tonight<br>

Special guest in the house tonight<br>

Joe Budden, J.Garden<br>

Let's...GO<br>

<br>

<i>[Hook]</i><br>

A wise man said we all wear a mask<br>

At times keepin it on is too much of a task<br>

Your face on the net, and your life's on blast<br>

It might slip off, you gotta give me a pass<br>

Sometimes I feel like a mannequin<br>

But how they dress me don't make me the man I am<br>

Not a rose dont hamper him<br>

They just lookin' at the clothes on a mannequin<br>

<br>

<i>[Verse 1]</i><br>

Look, look, look<br>

I want the best cars and the best flow<br>

I want the best broads thats how that go<br>

I mean I want to be a star and collect dough<br>

But even if I had it all it'd be just for show<br>

I want the diamonds to make my neck glow (Yeah)<br>

Lust for the next hoe a love will never let go (Talk to 'em!)<br>

I want to run along from my shortcomings (BUT!)<br>

But I smoke so my breath gonna be short running (OHH!)<br>

I want to be in control, hands on<br>

If I'm the pilot then we will never land wrong (NEVER!)<br>

But I want to have faith, staying strong<br>

Take the first step when I ain't got a leg to stand on<br>

I got a lot to give but I want more<br>

With numb thoughts, positive but i'm unsure<br>

On the misplace, getaway and its disarray<br>

And yall don't know the man just what he put on display (OHH!)<br>

<br>

<i>[Hook]</i><br>

<br>

<i>[Verse 2]</i><br>

I'm too annoyed to cope, tryna make a livin<br>

Given I dont think that being a dope boy is dope<br>

Out of every story, only 2 end in glory<br>

Who am I to think I'm different than every hustler before me?<br>

If I took my anger, became a gangbanger<br>

I would aim to aim my anger at every stranger<br>

Shawty wanna leave, honestly I can't blame her<br>

Say the ones you love the most are always in the most danger<br>

I talk a little slower so you have to hear<br>

Dead man walkin, no tatted tears<br>

Or realest to ever do it, cavalier<br>

Hundred thousand dollar car, with rabbit ears<br>

I don't welcome change even if it help 'em gain<br>

Fuck a handout, I'd rather be self contained<br>

L.V everything, lookin' well arranged<br>

Y'all would never know that I'm practicing self restrain<br>

<br>

<i>[Hook]</i><br>

<br>

<i>[Verse 3]</i><br>

I been different, never mind I'm just indifferent<br>

Ain't an old timer that would blame it on a skin pigment<br>

Is it my imagination or a slim figment?<br>

Or is gent ignant, probably why im indignant<br>

Look at haters like 'why is it an issue?'<br>

Is it because I'm sober but I'm on a high they can't get to?<br>

God ?? fightin with his pride and his pitbull<br>

God I was lied as it get to<br>

Cursin' God out "why he decide to pick dude?"<br>

I big bulls but when I try its abyssmal<br>

Die and keepin everythin inside me a riddle<br>

But they blinded by the condo size and it's sick view<br>

Whys, try and answer the whys<br>

What good is havin eyes when everything you look at you despise? (can anybody hear me?)<br>

Or do you need ears when you dont believe anything you hear?<br>

Maybe it's just something in the air<br>

<br>

<i>[Hook]</i><br>
