Yeah
I could write a book on how these niggas hatin'
Wasn't easy, but I did this shit the right way
Me and Shady rollin' Chronic off 8 Mile
Contemplatin' how to fuck shit up, doggy style
Get Rich or Die Tryin', all eyes on the prize
Ghetto lullabies, gangstas Pimpin' Butterflies
Reinvented my game, now we filmin' documentaries
Hope you appreciate what I gave
Nigga, we makin' history
Hello (hello), goodbye (goodbye)
Hello (hello), goodbye (goodbye)
Hello (hello)
One shot, one try, niggas, the numbers don't lie
You ain't never walk with the apes, I don't recommend it
It's for the hip-hop heavyweights, Big Pun intended
Went to the school of hard knocks and got perfect attendance
Please don't talk money with me, bitch, I'm long-winded
My humble opinion, y'all left the culture unattended
A lot of niggas buyin' stream, shit was bad for business
I'm from the place where blue streams mean keep your distance
You're off-balance, got the talent, but you lack conviction
Listen, we all stars in these all-stars
She greedy, she don't wanna share me, she a bar hog
Up in the raw dog, she damn near blew my ride off
Proceeded to fuck me like she tryin' to piss God off
Such an addiction, my life is non-fiction
Niggas are nil but won't stand for shit, they walkin' contradictions, yeah
Pass the baton, no abort mission
It's for my disciples in Babylon still forkliftin'
2Pac hangin' out that window in that bandana
No manners, pulling cheat streams, call me Santana
The best dope from the West Coast, y'all blowing standard
I feel like Snoop at the source awards sitting next to Hammer
Fuck the cameras, brief life in this bitch
Feel back in love with music, I'm wifing this bitch
May that go the way you planned it, never argue with the planets
Only niggas that understand it, gave they life to this shit
Stay with me
Put the haters on hiatus, throwin' it up for Nipsey
This shit is over, I got Lizzo up here singin' with me
Every word uttered after this considered victory
Long hair with a fat ass, look what God sent me
Alright, so you've been coming here for therapy sessions for a while now (uh-huh)
How are you feeling about your progress?
(I feel good, I mean, I feel great) good (yeah)
Alright, let's get started (let's go)
Today I want to dive a little deeper into your personal life
I have found that throughout our conversations, there are a lot of issues
And trauma that stem from your past relationships
With the tools we've been utilizing
Question, how do you feel about those past experiences now?
Well, sometimes, I wish I could just start over
