Eyes blurry saying goodbye at the cemetery I've murdered niggas on wax and forget where they buried This the hardest shit since Rakim and Eric B Or pistols on your album cover just like BDP Single mothers on that EBT just tryin' to feed their seeds Scammers and boosters living nice off of EDD CCTV, all the cameras'll shoot ya Soon as you let a shot off it'll damage your future It's some thugs in the hood that could've been hoopers Some good girls who turnt bad, who coulda been super Models, some Dominicanas in Cabo Some with the bloodline to Lagos, Lagos So many stones in my hand just like Thanos Eat Italiano, grazie, prego Vibe to my music out in Prague FaceTime me and Haas It feel good to feel alive, think I just had a breakthrough I know the light is bright, but keep on watching me I know the light is bright, but keep on watching me I'm stolen property Kicking the flavor to society Eyes blurry saying goodbye at the cemetery I've murdered niggas on wax and forget where they buried This the hardest shit since Rakim and Eric B Or pistols on your album cover just like BDP Man, this the hardest shit since DPG, Kurupt and Daz Nate Dogg on the hook, Dr. Dre on the track This melody takin' me back, but we pushin' it forward 187 on rappers, N-A-S, I'm a poet At times I get confused, they lie in they interviews Get goose pimples whenever I'm puttin' on my jewels Bailed so many brothers out Paid all their lawyer fees After that some turned they back, where is the loyalty? Money's lovely, but I could care less who has more than me I'm just happy Mutulu Shakur got free May he rest in peace He was a warrior all of his days And time move faster the more you get up there in age In other news, I'm a G to the grave I know they wanna see me burnt out, depleted and drained High blood pressure, instead I'm on a rampage My pupils are dilated, I throw on some dark shades Eyes blurry, saying goodbye at the cemetery I've murdered niggas on wax and forget where they buried This the hardest shit since Rakim and Eric B Or pistols on your album cover just like BDP I'm MC Shan with an uzi Pistols on your album cover just like BDP To the hardest artists out there Pistols on your album cover Boogie Down Productions I remember I put Tupac onto that Henny Howard University Howard Homecoming DC He's like "What's this?"
