Lyrical Breakdown of Gorgeous - A Journey through Words and Rhymes

Ain't no question, if I want it, I need it

I can feel it slowly drifting away from me

I'm on the edge, so why you playin'? I'm sayin'

I will never ever let you live this down, down, down

Not for nothin' I've foreseen it, I dream it

I can feel it slowly driftin' away from me

No more chances, if you blow this, you bogus

I will never ever let you live this down, down, down

Penitentiary chances, the devil dances

And eventually answers to the call of Autumn

All of them fallin' for the love of ballin'

Got caught with 30 rocks, the cop look like Alec Baldwin

Inter-century anthems based off inner-city tantrums

Based off the way we was branded

Face it, Jerome get more time than Brandon

And at the airport they check all through my bag

And tell me that it's random

But we stay winnin', this week has been a bad massage

I need a happy endin' and a new beginnin'

And a new fitted, and some job opportunities that's lucrative

This the real world, homie, school finished

They done stole your dreams, you dunno who did it

I treat the cash the way the government treats AIDS

I won't be satisfied 'til all my niggas get it, get it?

Ain't no question, if I want it, I need it

I can feel it slowly driftin' away from me

I'm on the edge, so why you playin'? I'm sayin'

I will never ever let you live this down, down, down

Is hip hop just a euphemism for a new religion?

The soul music of the slaves that the youth is missin'

But this is more than just my road to redemption

Malcolm West had the whole nation standin' at attention

As long as I'm in Polo smilin', they think they got me

But they would try to crack me if they ever see a black me

I thought I chose a field where they couldn't sack me

If a nigga ain't shootin' a jump shot, runnin' a track meet

But this pimp is, at the top of Mount Olympus

Ready for the World's Game, this is my Olympics

We make 'em say hoe 'cause the game is so pimpish

Choke a South Park writer with a fishstick

I insisted to get up off this dick

And these drugs, niggas can't resist it

Remind me of when they tried to have Ali enlisted

If I ever wasn't the greatest nigga, I must have missed it

Ain't no question, if I want it, I need it

I can feel it slowly driftin' away from me

I'm on the edge, so why you playin'? I'm sayin'

I will never ever let you live this down, down, down

I need more drinks and less lights

And that American Apparel girl in just tights

She told the director she tryna get in a school

He said, "Take them glasses off and get in the pool"

It's been a while since I watched the tube

'Cause like a Crip set, I got way too many blues for any more bad news

I was lookin' at my resume, feelin' real fresh today

They rewrite history, I don't believe in yesterday

And what's a black Beatle anyway, a fuckin' roach?

I guess that's why they got me sittin' in fuckin' coach

My guy said I need a different approach

'Cause people is lookin' at me like I'm sniffin' coke

It's not funny anymore, try different jokes

Tell 'em hug and kiss my ass, x and o

And kiss the ring while they at it, do my thing while I got it

Play strings for the dramatic endin' of that wack shit

Act like I ain't had a belt in two classes

I ain't got it I'm comin' after whoever who has it

I'm comin' after whoever, who has it?

You blowin' up, that's good, fantastic

That y'all, it's like that y'all

I don't really give a fuck about it at all

'Cause the same people that tried to black ball me

Forgot about two things, my black balls

Ain't no question, if I want it, I need it

I can feel it slowly driftin' away from me

I'm on the edge, so why you playin'? I'm sayin'

I will never ever let you live this down, down, down

Ayo, I done copped Timb's, lived in lenses, kid

Armani suits, fresh fruits, Bally boots and Benzes

Countin' up, smokin', one cuff

Live as a red Jag, a Louis bag, grabbin' a blunt, fuck it

Steam about a hundred and one L's

Kites off to jails, buyin' sweats, runnin' up in Stetson

Nigga hat game was special

It matched every black pair of Nikes, throwing dice for decimals

The older head, bolder head, would train a soldier head

Make sure he right in the field, not a soldier dead

That meant code red, bent off the black skunk

The black dutch, back of the old shed

If you can't live, you dyin', you give or buy in

Keep it real or keep it movin', keep grindin'

Keep shinin', to every young man, this is a plan

Learn from others like your brothers Rae and Kanye

Not for nothin' I've forseen it, I dream it

I can feel it slowly driftin' away from me

No more chances, if you blow this, you bogus

I will never ever let you live this down, down, down
