Th, th's got them beats that you just sing to for no reason

Sometimes you got to get to know yourself

You gotta travel a little bit

Look at yourself from another perspective

So I try to do that

Come on

Listen, there's nothing like knowin' yourself

And I'm so hardheaded—I don't need your help

Like no advice for these records 'less it's me and myself

Like, I don't ever want to breathe if it requires assistance

Just, just shut down my system

I know I'm on the right path

To who I'm gonna be at last

But don't rush me nigga (just try)

I know I'm wrong and right

At the same time, both—I'm the dark and light

And they say, "Life means everything to live"

At the same time, I got everything to give

Just don't rush me (hey, get your hand off me, man)

Don't rush me (you stupid? I'll cut you)

I gotta be more disciplined

I'm listenin' more to straight logic, blocking random shit that's drifting in

Age is a motherfucker (damn right)

Find myself staring at the little kids, thinking "I can beat 'em like a stepmother"

Creeping on a come-up at thirty soon

But looking twenty, ooh

The food catches up to you now plenty

Attending christenings of my best friend's children

And then asking who's next

And I'm wishing for six more wishes for Christmas or

Kids on the wish list

Or time machines to be in existence

I'm a team player—not (nope)

The dry wit is similar to Arizona weather. Say it, nigga—"Hot"

Patent leather sole, tappin' at my bowl

If the album's not platinum, then I'll have to rack a gold

This rappin' ain't for nothin'

Unless I hold plaques so I can sit up on a boat like Colin, roll that

And you know that

I know I'm on the right path

To who I'm gonna be at last

But don't rush me nigga

I know I'm wrong and right

At the same time, both—I'm the dark and light

And they say, "Life means everything to live"

At the same time, I got everything to give

Just don't rush me (hey, didn't I just tell you?)

Don't rush me (fall back, nigga)

See, this here is the most serious that I've ever been

The most clear headed

My gear fetish clearly needs an account

So if I need, I'll smoke 'em all like Dennis Leary and I'm out

Beef's great though, thanks for addin' more insecurities

Just as I was findin' my level of maturity

Just as I was mindin' my business, tried to murder Jean's confidence

But lucky for me, you're all incompetent

Road block in this, yes

I see 'em tryna put a stop to my obnoxiousness but

I stay long-winded like sayin', "George Papadopoulous"

I know but I write from this heart with this

So, I've got some things to work on

My moodiness like masturbation—gets its jerk on

My fascination with the fast pace

The money's encapsulated in my mind space like "What a thrill"

Past dated and I know I'm not in last place

But it's hard to work through it with this masked face

And masking tape up on the window keeps the cold out

And every time I'm laying down, my back breaks because it's old now

I yell too much, get stressed too quick

But the best thing about it—I can change that shit

And still remain who I came down to Earth to be

It's not Jean Grae—that's just a name, you'll see

I know I'm on the right path

To who I'm gonna be at last

But don't rush me nigga

I know I'm wrong and right

At the same time, both—I'm the dark and light

And they say, "Life means everything to live"

At the same time, I got everything to give

Just don't rush me

Don't rush me

Please don't make me kill you, I don't want to

I don't need to go to jail right now

I got things to do

Can't be locked up, man

My momma, my momma

No momma. No, no

Anyway, yo, thanks man

Thank you th

And we had a beautiful lunch

Don't be afraid to talk in the back

Thanks everybody for coming out tonight

! What up Flames?

What up, though!

Flames, you're dope

You the man, Flames

You the man

We out
