[Verse]

I cut back on the syllables just a little

But still, I feel I should kill a few just to show that still I do

Put forth an effort, one foot forward, thank heavens

And good lord, whoever would've thought that my umbili' cord

Woulda been c-cut-cut from the s-s-same cloth?

There's no other name, just be thankful that I came forth

Temper the same, whether it's boiled or flame broiled

You say my name, you bet that ass you gon' pay for it

Just the respect, it's not the crown that I came for

But if you feel like passin' it around, well then, Jay, throw it

'Cause we all go straight toward it, if not, I just wait for it

The other skateboard, got a couple of scrapes forget about it

I'm stuck in this rut, but I'll get up out it

I always do, I ain't gon' sit here and argue about it

I come up out of that gutter, I just crawled through up out it

I'm back, I'm sorry, I feel awful about it
