[Intro]

You (Yeah)

You oughta know by now (Yeah)

That I'm never gonna leave you (I'm not goin' no where)

That I'm never, never (Uh)

[Verse 1]

It's been a long time, some say been too long

"Diddy on the island, he ain't promotin' your new song"

"Ain't you been around a while, why he just ignore you?

At this rate, Justin'll have a album before you"

I gotta laugh at the bloggers when they stabbin' at me

I'm Teddy Pendergrass, the whole town's laughin' at me

You see the cars and the jewelry all the time

You know what type of shit that could do to a nigga mind?

Whеn the gas bill, light bill, rent due, car notе

Eviction notice, cut-off notice, sittin' at the bar broke

I'm not complainin', I'm just sayin' how I really feel

At one point, I gave it up, packed my bags, hit the hills

Mixtapes, freestyles, promos, and demos

"Oh, you got dropped, my nigga, you ain't get the memo?"

This the type of shit that make a nigga grab a ball bat

Or end up bein' bitter 'cause you never got a call back

[Interlude]

You

You oughta know by now (Yeah)

That I'm never gonna leave you (I ain't givin' up though)

That I'm never, never (Check it, look)

[Verse 2]

New deal, Interscope, nope, you ain't a part of that

Money gone, this the type of stress that causes heart attacks

Craig Calmin phone call, "Play some songs for me

What type of artist for you, for the dudes or for the honeys?

Ain't your cousin signed here? He just left the office

As big as Maino is, I ain't signin' no more New York shit"

"Hit the road, jack, you ain't got a chance here

Your hip hop just doesn't sell, your outfit was last year"

"He ain't on the internet, that's what makes a star now

Radio ain't breakin' him so show me what you got now?"

I don't want your deal, I don't need your ear

Blackball me, never sign me, right now I don't even care

Life is all mines, I don't even need a year

My shit's forever, Money Pit 3, I see it clear

So when the curtain closes, and every album sold

I'ma still be here like stone, bitch, I'm solid gold

[Interlude: Aasim]

You (Hahaha)

You oughta know by now (Yeah, I'm determined to do it)

That I'm never gonna leave you

That I'm never, never (So I could makes lions out of all you, look)

[Verse 3]

Lady luck, I'm tryna date her 'cause she fly as shit

But something's wrong with me or she just playin' hard to get

So what if right now I ain't up where I belong?

If Pun was still here, I bet you he would put me on a song

I should go on strike, I ain't writin' shit

And you a fuckin' lie if you say I ain't writin' hits

It's never outta style to keep sayin' life's a bitch

And she got AIDS, so I fuck her once and wipe my dick

Time, it ticks fast to tryna a check to get you rich

And makin' songs like rollin' the dice, is hit or miss

A lotta niggas old but wishin' that they still had it

Do you remember where you was when you heard Illmatic?

Wu-Tang, Mobb Deep, B.I.G. and Reasonable Doubt

You know how it feels when it seems life's leavin' you out?

And make you scream, "Fuck it, where's the love, it ain't shit"

My name is Aasim but Everybody Hates Chris

[Outro]

You (Hahaha)

You oughta know by now (It's too easy)

That I'm never gonna leave you

That I'm never, never (It's too easy!)
