Day and night, I toss and turn. I keep stressing my mind. I look for peace, but see see I don't attain what I need for keeps. This silly game we play. Now look at this. Madness, the magnet, keeps attracting me. I try to run, but see I'm am not that fast. I think I'm first but surely finish last.
I can't stop. 'Til I die, I'm the fuckin' boss. Who gon stop me? Who gon stop me, huh? Last night ain't go so well. Got kicked up out the hotel. Got a little freakly like Marvin Albert. Yes, tell Howard Cosell... In some relations, you just supposed to say none...Beat the odd,best the feds. It wouldn't be wise, to bet against the kid. Start me broke, I bet I get rich. Night shift. 6 to 6. Give me one shot, one pot. I'll show up in all white wearing no socks... I'm three steps removed. I know how to move. It's loking like I don't know how to lose. I'm winning again... I'm at the tablet. I'm gambling. Lucky lefty. I expect a 7. I went through hell, I'm expecting heaven. I'm owed. I'm throwed... I'm here, oh yeah. I promise I ain't going nowhere. OK, here. Like a hare. Like a rabbit. I like karats. I'm allergic to havin' bunny ears. Like broke? Like nope. Like ha, I ain't no joke. I can't be stopped. Like nope. Like nope. Two seast in the nine eleven. No limit on the black card. Told y'all I was gonna go HAM. Told the ocean was my backyard. No lies in my verses. Please pardon all the curses. Shit gotta come out some way when you're growin'up worthless. Middle finger to my old life. Special shout out to my old head. If it wasn't for your advice. I would have been so dead. Livin' life 'til these bitches kill me... Street smart and I'm book smart. Coulda been a chemist 'cause I cook smart. Only this to stop me is me, and I'm gonna' stop me when the hook start.
I shoot the lights out. Hide 'til it's bright out. Oh, just another lonely night. Are you willing to sacrifice you're life?
If I don't get ran out by Catholics and cussing Conservative Baptists, claiming I'm overreacting like them black kids in Chiraq... Baby we livin' in the moment. I've been a menace for the longest. But I ain't finished, I'm devoted and you know it. And you know it.
...but there's way to much at stake for me to be fake. There's too much on my plate, and I came way too far in this game to turn and walk away and not say what I got to say... I get up 'fore I get down. Run myself in the ground before I put some wack shit out. I'm trying to smack this one out the park. Five thousand marks. Ya'll steady tryin' to drown the shark. Ain't gonna do nothing but piss me off. Lid to the can off whip-ass, just twist me off... Talk is cheap. Motherfucker, if you're really feeling froggish leap...
"Yo Slim, you gonna let him get away with that? He tried to play you. You can't let him skate with that." Man I hate this crap. This ain't rap. This is crazy, the way we act, when we confuse hip-hop with real life when the music stops.
