[Intro: Irish goodbye means you just leave the bar without

Telling anyone goodbye...like I plan on leaving hip-hop

I work really fucking hard, I don't deserve the hatred and bitterness I get

One day I'm gonna be out of here...you won't even know it.]

It seems like every time I got my hopes up

I just hung a rope up

Kicked the chair from under me and hung until I choked but

I never got to see heaven's glorious bells

All I got's a couple scars and a couple stories to tell

Lonely narratives, alcoholism deep in my heritage

It's never gonna be perfect--accept it, learn to cherish it

You see, I had dreams of being a superstar

Popping open champagne in limos, stealing groupies' hearts

The truth about this game will make you truly barf

To even move this far, I worked stupid hard

So this was no surprise--know it, I said it

This is not an accident; I sent a goal and I met it

Sometimes you gotta give yourself some credit

Face it, there's good reward in working hard and staying dedicated

Keep it consistent, keep the work flow steady and patient

And once your goals are met, you can take a vacation

I never looked at hard work as unbearable

So when I'm successful, it's no miracle

I never looked at hard work as unbearable

So when I'm successful, it's no miracle

The biggest fear when writing music is

I'll one day have to sing it on a wedding or a cruise ship

To an apathetic audience while begging for amusement

These two bit pricks don't realize it's my passion, it's my passion, that's some true shit

You know some soccer mom, clearly she don't like my songs

Biting a martini olive off a toothpick like "who's this?"

Uh, my name's Mac Lethal and I wasted fifteen years of my life on this, you rude bitch

Nah, that didn't happen; fuck, I'm getting famous

My fans are saying I'm a sellout, that's how sick this game is

I ain't doing circus tricks or kissing anus

I still got my dignity and kid to me, that isn't shit to play with

Stop making twisted faces, man, don't be pathetic

This was not an accident--I set a goal and I met it

I'm 'bout to blow the fuck up

I got some new enemies, old friends grow the fuck up

I never looked at hard work as unbearable

So when I'm successful, it's no miracle

Nah! I never looked at hard work as unbearable

So, so when I'm successful, it's no miracle

I never been the type to give my demo tape to famous people

A good or bad opinion from 'em never made me lethal

I never chased celebrities or sweat 'em up a tree

Instead blew the underground apart and let 'em come to me

Cause I'm the brainy type

Taming cash, one half Damon Dash, other half Dana White

With a big artsy spirit, man, the world's my oyster

Judge me for that, and not the girls I cloister

Wait! Hold up, hold up

I can taste my Paxil, I break my capsule

Or take five Advil

But every time I smoke weed it makes life fragile

So before you offer it, just say "bye" asshole

Here, have a cock to suck and pull

I got some goals to reach, man, rock and fucking roll

I'm 'bout to sink they battleship

See, work ethic plus passionate equals success that's no accident

Nah! I never looked at hard work as unbearable

So, so, uh, when I'm successful, it's no miracle

No sir, I never looked at hard work as unbearable

So when I'm, so when I'm, so when I'm successful, it's no miracle
