[00:00.05]I put my heart and soul in this game, I'm feelin' drained
[00:03.32]Unappreciated, unalleviated
[00:05.86]Tired of comin' up short, fuck abbreviated
[00:08.40]Want my whole name spelled out, my own pain spilled out
[00:11.37]No pain, no gain, I blow brains, Cobain
[00:14.05]Throw flames, Liu Kang, the coach ain't help out, so I call my own shots
[00:18.20]I'm David Blaine, I'm breakin' out of my own box, you stay the same
[00:21.96]But homie if you change, may you change for the better
[00:24.78]Back when Martin King had a thing for Coretta
[00:27.39]Wonder if she seen all the dreams he was dreamin'
[00:30.27]Did she have a clue of all the schemes he was schemin'
[00:32.87]Still loved him just enough to put up with the cheatin'
[00:35.52]Months go by and only see him for a weekend
[00:38.41]I say a prayer, hope my girl ain't leavin'
[00:40.84]We all got angels, we all got demons
[00:44.24]As you fall through the club
[00:46.32]Bad bitches down to do all the above
[00:48.95]Money comes fast so bein' hungry don't last
[00:51.48]Till you look in the mirror and you saw who you was
[00:54.67]Cole World, it couldn't be more clearer
[00:57.09]The time is now, couldn't be more herer
[00:59.80]My reign gonna last like 3-4 eras
[01:02.25]Say hello to the real, I can be your hero
[01:05.52]Hey, I'mma put us all on the map
[01:07.90]Gone and I ain't lookin' back
[01:09.91]I know they gone feel it like they tank on E
[01:12.54]I promise baby, you can bet the bank on me
[01:15.32]Cause can't nobody tell me what I ain't gonna be no more
[01:18.63]You thinking I'mma fall, don't be so sure
[01:21.80]I wish somebody made guidelines
[01:24.73]On how to get up off the sidelines
[01:26.73]Up in 1st class, laugh even though it's not funny
[01:29.45]See a white man wonder how the fuck I got money
[01:32.24]While he sit at coach, hate to see me walk past 'im
[01:35.06]Young black pants sag, headphones blastin'
[01:37.78]Know what he askin', "how did he manage?"
[01:40.28]"With all the cards against him, he used them to his advantage!"
[01:43.00]Slang we be speakin' probably soundin' like Spanish
[01:45.61]Then I fuck they heads up when a nigga show manners
[01:48.41]Some New York niggas thought it was funny callin' us 'Bama
[01:51.11]Laughin' at the grammar cause they didn't understand us
[01:53.80]Must've thought we slow, but little do they know
[01:56.03]I came up in here to take advantage of that shit y'all take for granted
[01:59.32]Opportunity that I would kill for
[02:01.90]Lookin' at rappers like "what the fuck you got a deal for?!"
[02:04.86]When I was assed out with my funds low
[02:07.20]It's nice to know I had the whole world at my front door
[02:10.45]Hey, I'mma put us all on the map
[02:12.72]Gone and I ain't lookin' back
[02:14.68]I know they gone feel it like they tank on E
[02:17.33]I promise baby, you can bet the bank on me
[02:19.94]Cause can't nobody tell me what I ain't gonna be no more
[02:23.41]You thinking I'mma fall, don't be so sure
[02:26.81]I wish somebody made guidelines
[02:29.62]On how to get up off the sidelines
[02:31.52]I made it to the rack, even though they tried to box me out
[02:34.51]I got the key to the game, they tried to lock me out
[02:37.07]But what they don't understand is this is all plan
[02:39.70]It's a bigger picture and you can't photoshop me out
[02:42.57]Some nigga ask me why Jay never shout me out
[02:45.20]Like I'm supposed to give a fuck
[02:46.51]Don't you know that I be out in France
[02:48.27]Where the fans throw they hands like Pacquiao
[02:50.55]Not cause my looks, cause my hooks could knock Rocky out
[02:53.37]And my lines is designed from the heart
[02:55.58]Young Simba been a lion from the start
[02:57.71]Dumb nigga's, y'all been lyin from the start
[02:59.77]My life's like a movie, truly
[03:01.68]And these niggas is dyin' for the part
[03:03.85]But, you'll never play me like LeBron vs. Jordan
[03:06.59]Twenty years, wonder who they gone say was more important
[03:09.39]Both changed the game, came through and made a lane
[03:11.80]Who's to say that who's greater, all we know, they ain't the same
[03:14.95]Hey, I'mma put us all on the map
[03:17.60]Gone and I ain't lookin' back
[03:19.39]I know they gone feel it like they tank on E
[03:22.00]I promise baby, you can bet the bank on me
[03:24.80]Cause can't nobody tell me what I ain't gonna be no more
[03:28.07]You thinking I'mma fall, don't be so sure
[03:31.59]I wish somebody made guidelines
[03:34.42]On how to get up off the sidelines
[03:37.99]
