[Intro]


[Verse]

What niggas don't know and what my friends don't see

Is while the world keep spinning, its a lens on me

So I sit and prophecize of what the ends gon be

Maybe a domino effect if you depend on me

Now the cool thing to call me is a asshole, is that so

Pill popping in a strip club with my hat low

Out of every battle, I ain't lost yet

Say I'm misunderstood, I say my points just ain't come across yet

Prince, all I'm missing is the little red Corvette

Feeling like a million though a nigga ain't in Forbes yet

All that shit go with the fame

The industry's the wrong complexion, tryna Sammy Sosa the game

Sharper than y'all without a days rest, he don't mind being a pawn

Then how the fuck you gonna mind it when I play chess

No beef with Beans, not a beef with Fab

Just fags that think I'm searching for a beef to grab

I'm too talented to reach for that

It take more than some tweets in fact

To get him off the leash, capiche

And if streets is so concerned about me and Somaya Reece

But they ain't got the whole puzzle all they do is try to piece

Reality ain't World Star, lets keep in private please

Me and her gon end up whatever we decide to be

Can you hear me, tired of niggas asking 'bout Tahiry

She can do what she wanna long as she don't do it near me

Y'all reading MediaTakeout, what I take out the Media is

Everything ain't what it appear to be

Leaking pictures of Fif feeling on your ass

But if you seen it like me then you be feeling like an ass

So I'm thinking I was fooled by watching you act a fool

Seeming desperate for attention, baby, take this as a jewel

And since we no longer, you and Cotto get the same advice

Need to fire everybody in ya corner

Niggas ain't worth my time, I won't respond to ya

Momma called saying, "Who you gon get to sponsor ya"

Fans becoming less fond of ya

What they've concluded looking at me through a monitor is that I should be monitored

Wait! let me apologize if I'm alarming ya

Dreaming 'bout nightmares, fell in love with my insomnia

Or is my presence to blame, I live in the future

Laughing at y'all, still waiting on the present to change

Say my life's like the Truman show

But if niggas could care less then what they tune in for

I give em all access while creating a new sound

And you bound to run into hurdles when you breaking new ground

Got Jersey on my back, there were few folk beg to differ

I do it all by myself, ain't gotta beg a nigga

They like I'm better than son

And he a bad look for Jers, but a bad look is better than none

You now dealing with a visionary

Dog ya style doggie style, I rather be on top, I favor missionary

Them wack niggas that you say in they prime

Ain't seeing numbers, they dealing with Renee Divine

I thought I was unprepared for the fame and all the bears

Then I went to see my grandma and it all became clear

Cause she 90 years old, can't move, blank stare

Like she waiting on death, won't move up out that same chair

Yeah, listen, I'm outspoken, outcasted

When the odds was outrageous, a nigga outlasted

Look at what you making a issue

Difference between leaving the hood and taking it with u

Is the difference between watching from home and sitting courtside

Difference is I'm one up, you thinking the scores tied

Unh, simple-minded motherfucka

So if I'm Anti its cause I mind it motherfucka

Bar for bar, if you looking for a lil' trauma

If I acknowledge yo ass, nigga its still a honor

A bad bitch by my side that cause a lil' drama

Thinking she can "pop up" on me cause she my Lil' Mama

Say I ain't the best, that man don't know me

Never ran, never will, fuck Dan Antoni

But I'm planning my escape once I get off tour

And just know it's gon' be on my terms, not yours


[Outro]
