Power Circle (feat. Rick Ross & Kendrick Lamar)

[00:16.22] If Michael Jackson came alive right now
[00:19.94] He'd ask you to smoke one for him
[00:22.48] So in his honor
[00:25.05]
[00:28.55] You niggas Spud Webb, coming up short
[00:31.53] Think you're Dee Brown, jump if you want
[00:34.53] I put it on my momma and her very last nerve
[00:37.78] Ricky made off everything I deserved
[00:40.75] The square root of a kilo is me nigga
[00:43.85] The square root of a kilo is me nigga
[00:50.07] Do the math, I'm a motherfucking G nigga
[00:54.00]
[01:16.42] It's all on me now, as you can see now
[01:19.41] I'm gon' get this money and I will not be denied
[01:22.31] Been shittin' on you fucks a long time, time to pee now
[01:25.54] When you finish first they hate you worse, startin to see now
[01:28.46] I'm at the round table, where your seat at?
[01:31.22] Where your plate, where your lobster, where your sea bass?
[01:33.82] We ain't never left, acting like we back
[01:36.83] You should see us now taking pictures acting like we rap
[01:40.11] This the circle that'll murk you, blackout, short circuit
[01:43.37] Somebody show them square ass niggas the first exit
[01:46.62] This here reserved for soldiers most definitely
[01:49.23] So watch what you say and where you step more carefully
[01:52.23] If I fall in the field and ain't no more air for me
[01:55.58] Pour some on the ground and put one in the air for me
[01:58.15] Tell my enemies fuck 'em, they know already but fuck 'em
[02:01.59] Tell 'em again with a middle finger and a chuckle
[02:04.64] You don't know nann nigga, nope, uh uh
[02:07.29] This famous that'll still throw copper
[02:09.87] Cross so heavy crack the tabernacle
[02:12.39] Fire the ganja back up
[02:13.99] Throw some blow in my tobacco
[02:15.60] Then crank the Lac up
[02:17.03] One match left, this the last turn
[02:19.57] Santeria candles in my sanctuary burn
[02:22.97] I'mma earn 'til the last court adjourn
[02:25.56] 'Til the last gavel drop we gon' have it locked
[02:28.51] We gon' have it locked
[02:31.41]
[02:33.45] We gon' have it locked
[02:35.87]
[02:40.42] I'm part of the small percentage of niggas who make it out the ghetto
[02:43.47] But niggas tried to pull me back cause misery loves company
[02:46.51] It's funny how they come for me when they see me living comfortably
[02:49.55] But when I was broke and sleeping on floors they ain't want nothing from me
[02:52.48] My future's so bright but my past so ugly
[02:55.53] And I just try to correct it all but it all still haunts me
[02:58.59] Tried to section off the past but it still haunts me
[03:01.45] So I accept what got me here, reflecting in this rocking chair
[03:04.66] All this space created, all that hard work it got me here
[03:07.31] So what I look like telling a nigga that I shouldn't be here
[03:10.58] Power to the people so the people shouldn't live in fear
[03:13.47] And I'll be that raising voice and tell the people treat us fair
[03:16.79] Warring in the streets tell them soldiers to meet us there
[03:19.71] Out in the open all alone, I felt the coldest air
[03:22.30] Secluded in my thoughts in fear
[03:24.12] No one to talk to, no one there
[03:25.59] Not even a voice, not even an ear
[03:27.06] No one alive, no one to care
[03:28.52] Now I got a power circle, now I'm on a power trip
[03:31.63] And they calling me counterfeit cause I ain't gave a coward shit
[03:34.55] Stone me, throw me a pile of shit but you won't pull me out of it
[03:37.30] It's funny how it comes full circle
[03:39.01] Now they wanna be a part of the power circle
[03:42.81]
[03:45.34] They wanna be a part of the power circle
[03:51.00] May the wind be at your back
[03:53.84] May the bad be in your past
[03:55.22] May the kids take all your good
[03:56.87] And your wife have class
[03:58.21] And you realize your goals
[03:59.83] And what's life without grind
[04:01.32] Those niggas, yo' niggas?
[04:03.98]
[04:06.63] Hope those niggas real as mine
[04:09.09]
[04:17.01] There's a difference between underrated and hasn't made it
[04:19.74] Once you successful they relentlessly giving you hatred
[04:22.88] There's no applause for ya and success is hard for ya
[04:25.70] There's enemies, envy, with green my niggas -- lawnmower
[04:28.78] And I'm on tour, Jordan 4's, Tom Ford
[04:31.88] And I ain't thugging, they clapping at me, a encore
[04:34.75] Got a dark heart, bright mind, make women crazy
[04:37.74] I give her D, I throw up two, I call that shit a safety
[04:40.89] Shit is crazy when entertainment ain't entertaining
[04:43.74] And my inner sanctum need real estate I'm out my cabeza
[04:46.81] Jealousy's for the weak, you ain't happy I made it
[04:49.79] I be feeling like brother Malcolm just out of the Nation
[04:52.85] Allah got us cause if we hollered a lost numbers
[04:55.82] I seen hustlers turn cluckers out niggas grandmothers
[04:58.72] So shut the fuck up and listen, fuck all them stuck up musicians
[05:01.75] My circle small but regardless, my circumference official
[05:04.78] My clothes different like quarterbacks at a closed scrimmage
[05:07.84] They gon' blitz us but ain't no way that they gon' hit us
[05:10.78] I'm so elusive, so my niggas be goin' through it
[05:13.74] Guess it's a wrap when your co-defendant make soul music
[05:16.94] Cash rule the world -- at least it do with girls
[05:19.80] At least it do with churches, seek the truth and true it hurts
[05:22.99] If they real, then they real -- my niggas deserve it
[05:25.85] And we don't deal with weak squares in this power circle
[05:29.85]
[05:31.94] We don't deal with weak squares in this power circle
[05:36.12]
[05:41.91] I'm like welcome to the power circle
[05:44.03] I came a long way, I started with a powdered circle
[05:47.26] Clique full of real niggas that'll probably murk you
[05:49.95] Cause they about that murder game you do a lot of verbal
[05:52.75] Lotta talking, lotta Tweeting, 'til you hear that chopper speaking
[05:55.80] Kill my dog, I kill your dog, we tired even, I'd believe it
[05:58.86] If you see it then you got it, nigga never give up
[06:01.60] Cause if you grindin' you gon' be rich before you can look up
[06:04.69] My cousin Knock told me never teach niggas to cook up
[06:07.66] Cause you can sell 'em hard for the low and give 'em the hookup
[06:10.68] And still make the profit
[06:12.17] The streets say I'm the hottest and a nigga still modest
[06:15.22] I'm just being honest
[06:16.82] Back to the wall, never let 'em get behind us
[06:19.87] Mac in my draws fitting right in my designers
[06:22.76] Look at my persona, I dreamed it, woke up and conquered
[06:25.44] And there was commas after commas, I eat 'em like Benihanas
[06:28.46] Put the shrimp over the pasta, the pasta over the lobster
[06:31.41] And the lobster over the table, power circle a mafia
[06:34.56] Just talkin' money, talkin' money what you talkin' bout?
[06:37.78] Probably talkin' bout us, we the only thing to talk about
[06:41.21]
[06:44.76] Cause we the only thing to talk about
[06:50.65] Cause we the only thing to talk about
[06:52.73] Look inside the eyes of the last Mohicans survived
[06:55.24] You won't last a weekend outside
[06:56.60] Seen a pastor tweaking, then sunk his teeth in a rock his demise
[06:59.78] Later on that evening you heard the grieving of angels that cried
[07:02.64] See a demon don't compromise
[07:04.59] And so I walk alone with a cross and a diamond stone
[07:07.23] I'm a diamond inside the rough that's too mighty for maricons
[07:10.58] I might as well put all my killers in YSL
[07:13.21] Put my voice on this microphone, put you pussy niggas through hell
[07:16.76] Hell's fire, I never lie, you will never grind
[07:19.55] I know the priors they running by us when we do crime
[07:22.66] I know that section eight wanna discontinue my Moms
[07:25.22] When they heard that Ohio State gave me 30 racks in July
[07:28.25] Oh Lord, this can't be life, no it can't be life
[07:31.43] When they day breaks and you earned them stripes
[07:33.32] And you learned that strike
[07:34.34] From upstate will adjourn that life and confirm that life
[07:37.50] It's good bait for the warden that might get awarded and write
[07:40.40] Now your fate can record it denied a reporter replied
[07:43.41] The death rate will eventually climb, so eventually I'm
[07:46.42] On a track race for the dough before time get a clock that resigns
[07:49.43] So about face if it ain't business, I get offended, I mind
[07:52.39] Now one fake, I'm a realist in strive, I'm a billion in five
[07:55.38] Well a billion cause the limit is the sky and I live on cloud nine
[07:58.47] And I recognize my nemesis gon' try to put a finish in my shine
[08:01.45] But pussy, where it hurt you
[08:02.90] Life in the power circle
[08:05.33] Regardless of how it goes down
[08:07.64] Life goes on, am I right?
[08:10.16] Tried to warn you niggas
[08:12.79] I tried to warn you niggas
[08:15.38] It's too late now
[08:17.00] Double M-G
[08:19.49] Too much cake
[08:21.16] Too much power
[08:23.44] Too much respect
[08:26.69] Bow down, nigga
[08:27.59] Ugh!
[08:27.59]
