[Prince Ea]

My boy John said Rich, you;re liable to blow

Your punchlines so sick, you done conquered the flow

You got knowledge and hot sound, I've been watchin' you close

You hop down and rock crowds and get live at the show

But why you ain't signed where's your deal?

You been saying this was your year for the past five in a row

I say John, peep it, I don't even know

I've been in the meetings, but see I should stop at the door

I hear the same thing, not profitable

Too smart, too much thought, not marketable

I'm at a loss so I sit back and frown my face

Like what the fuck y'all wantin' me to sound like Drake?

Okay, I can do that talk about my Phantom

Me Weezy and Tray baby we the new Hanson

Demanded to perform in cities that speak Spanish

"Best I Ever Had" is the anthem, yeaa

Young Money baby you should go and phone me

I'll be like a plumber if you're panties got a slow leak

When I lay the pipe just right I hope that you don't O.D

Cause it ain't X when I say that you a O.E

Man that ain't me, that ain't Prince to the Ea man that ain't he

That ain't a diss to Drake either, home boy rap scary

But it ain't freestyle if you read it off a Blackberry

Im Ed weary of these weak MC's

That exploit they own people like BET, you ever seen a EBE on MTV?

Nahh these bars belong on the BBC

But fuck rap I should work as an EMT

The way I turn Pro Tools to a EEG, and that booth to a ER

After each bar I tell the beat don't you fuckin' die on me

All eyes on Ea, I'm Pac Biggie and Pun, if you combined all three

Mixed them in a pot and five four three

Out comes the chimera I'm a side show freak

Ever since the zygote man I rhymed on beat

I was born to do this shit so by all means

Check my bio, but don't you think that I know me?

As introspective as I am, I know me

I got pull with the wolves, learn with the squirrels

Got a flow like Monroe, I am Earl with The Pearl

Im a jerk on the verge of berserk and disturbed

You can tell where my verses unfurl and the melody

I should've tried therapy, I burned the referral

I spit words that'll urge you to curl up and hurl

I'm insane, enough to kill Wayne, catch AIDS

And then fuck every girl in the world

I was nice before S-curls and activators popped

I'm a problem go ahead calculate it watch

You remember that little kid with the calculator watch?

That was me, now look at me, one plaque away from hot

I got labels on the table, I'm evaluating Koch

Looking at the rock like J I'mma have to take your spot if I sign

Im lyin' I exaggerate a lot

But the truth is said in jest so let me laugh away my plot

See at the top it's been hard for me to giggle

But I ain't even reach the top yet, I ain't even touch the middle

But I know an I can call it cause im starting to see the visual

See the more successful you are, the harder that it drizzles

And the more so called friends that'll miss you

Pops told me its these women that'll get you

And I remember when they were scared to touch my hair, now you wanna share the same pillow

They were clownin' on my teeth and now they kissin on my dimples, DAMN

This groupie shit got me stressin'

I went through it with this one chick who I thought was something special but nahh

No exceptions she played me and I confessed it

I was so fuckin' stupid going in with no protection

You told me you ain't have nothin' then I got tested

You told me you couldn't get pregnant huh, and now you pregnant

See I ain't ready to be a father for a second

But you already knew what you would do with the kid when I was slippin' with them records

This was a time when I wasn't fly dressin'

No money, vibe was dyin' down my career started sweaten

You aborted in that second trimester, but its funny cause

If I had been poppin' you probably would've kept him

Damn I should call you out your name, nahh fuck it I should go and shout you out by name

But I'm not cause that's something I live through

And I can honestly say that I'm sorry and I forgive you

Now that's the realest shit I ever wrote

See on these beats man I take you through my episodes

And every show I let you see my life

Both the blessings and the lessons that I teach outright

I get deep with every speech I write

We all got God in us, but I know how to bring out Christ

On these mics when I seek out light

I make your favorite rapper look a little ugly like T.I.'s wife

Nowadays its no secret, most rappers are living off a single that was decent

Please if that nigga' say that he ain't living off of his single don't believe him

Man that nigga' living single like Kadesha

Jesus Christ how y'all feel that trash

Who you know who can really match the skill Prince has

Nobody, so how the hell I still get passed up

And thrown out more then Will's friend Jazz, damn

What I gotta do to prove that I'm different?

Everybody rap now but they dont speak like Richard

Marvin Minsky they certainly don't think like Richard

The flow ill, I grow gills they dont breath like Richard nahh

Because I paint such a beautiful picture

You know you the truth when you make a nigga' google your lyrics

I said I spit shit and you'll google it nigga'

I'm everywhere google quantum super position

My music is shitin' on any new artist that they playin'

And I ain't even hatin' for real I'm just sayin'

They dont make extrapolations on a nation

Like W.H.O. gave the africans AIDS? That's not a question that's a statement

Revolves around the World Health Organization

Get your mind right nigga' there's more to life then what they make it

So question who you got your faith in

Did you know Obama's Peace Prize was fulfillment of Revelations?

Hell no cause thats that shit you ain't prepared for

Like niggas in the club makin' it rain with the amero

That's currency if you cut class

Oh'10 is my year, no more rappin' 'bout how you bust gats

And pump crack to you brothers because you love cash

You impostors without the glasses and that mustache

You was never real with your fake ass

Shit you more of a fake ass than Nicki Minaj's butt pads

It ain't a tough task, all I need is a break to put the game in it's place like a drunk dad

Ima make smart cool again, no gimmicks all lyrics no dads and no dance
