Off

[00:00.90] I'm signing off on this
[00:06.92] On the same ones the treasury prints
[00:08.79] With every intent to see niggas dying off of it
[00:11.46] I signed to Sony
[00:12.62] A couple of years after the NBA signed Kobe
[00:14.83] And he about to retire
[00:16.15] So if anybody see Don Lenner
[00:17.60] Make sure you tell him I ain't lost it yet
[00:19.71] Somebody tell Tom Silverman "Hi" for me
[00:21.94] Look in the sky there's a fly sorcerer
[00:23.90] Eye-balling me from of a flying saucer
[00:25.54] And my mind is like a full clip
[00:27.72] And my competitions' magazines are running low
[00:30.17] Like the Source and Vibe offices
[00:31.51] Since '99, Hip-Hop been like my orphanage
[00:34.13] Got dropped a lot
[00:35.52] But every time I signed I got a million
[00:37.43] A&Rs and exec's were telling me I'm not appealing
[00:40.31] Try to turn me into Nas, I'm not him but I forgive you
[00:43.44] This is a Boy Marley
[00:44.88] Bob Dillon spiritual vibe that I'm feeling
[00:46.50] These scars are time healing
[00:48.08] Clearly you lost
[00:49.58] You tried to put me in a box--how dare you
[00:51.95] Try to minimize a lyrical god?
[00:53.54] I'll godzilla these walls
[00:55.79] My prime's no time near
[00:57.14] I'll improvise till my ceilings
[00:58.51] Get wizard of Oz
[01:00.09] I'm the illest alive
[01:01.25] I'm the rose that rose
[01:02.32] From the concrete with the thorn
[01:03.62] And when I'm gone I shall live in a vase
[01:05.14] Me and Porter just handling business
[01:07.38] Boy we came a long way from blasting cannons
[01:10.14] And having to throw 'em in trash cans
[01:11.78] Dismantling shipments
[01:12.75] I had the manager shift at my day job too
[01:14.35] I laid down rules
[01:18.09] No gas station past 8 mile
[01:18.49] Past eight or late drive-throughs
[01:18.85] Maxwell tap, you play the whole B side
[01:20.14] You flip it over and hear the whole A side too
[01:23.11] Now we got iCloud and FaceTime basically
[01:26.33] To knock down the grape vine
[01:27.96] Make way as the chaos ensues
[01:29.05] Niggas safe and ratchet calling themselves bosses
[01:30.35] But they not
[01:32.80] They David Hasselhoff
[01:34.56] And they bay watch
[01:35.80] But I'm cool
[01:37.09] Nowadays my life be lavish
[01:38.46] Who I'm out with tonight
[01:39.88] It might be a model or
[01:41.07] Might be an actress
[01:42.02] She might be a ballerina
[01:43.62] She might do plays
[01:45.67] She might just like theatrics
[01:46.36] She might be famous
[01:46.84] I must just pipe her for bragging rights
[01:48.06] She might get mad at the paparazzi
[01:49.51] For flashing cameras at her ass
[01:50.86] As she covers her face
[01:52.08] As if she's dabbing
[01:53.06] She might be dragging
[01:54.75] Meet at some uptight fashion show somewhere
[01:57.23] Where people like Madonna and Bono go
[01:59.44] I might take one look up and down at the clothes
[02:01.90] And say, "Hell no, It's time to go."
[02:03.98] Come on it's time to go
[02:05.74] I might fuck her on the kitchen table
[02:07.59] At her crib in the Hamptons
[02:08.94] I might lay her down gently
[02:10.28] I might slam her
[02:11.51] I might even fuck around and yell domino
[02:12.76] I soldiers sound off like "you got a pair."
[02:16.16] I'm a real nigga
[02:17.66] I done lost a lot of friends over the years
[02:19.02] I've been losing a lot of hair
[02:21.15] Been told that I'm out my mind
[02:22.63] But if you only knew what was inside it
[02:24.52] You too would choose to stay out of there
[02:26.15] I take my hats off to the addicts
[02:28.10] Going through something tragic in their lives
[02:29.80] Shit even I backed off the madness
[02:31.31] I had to take some time off the rap and realize
[02:33.22] Now how do I stop being underrated?
[02:35.64] How do I get props like, let's say, a Drake?
[02:38.40] But I rap with the skill set of let's say
[02:40.48] A Black Thought or an Elhzi
[02:42.07] If Jay Elec can bag a Rothschild without an album then I can come back to rap after doing some jail time
[02:46.45] No one cares about sales now
[02:48.70] It's all about gadgets and getting fatter than hell
[02:52.33] And consuming shit like them Patti LaBelle pies
[02:55.04] Like lunatics, speaking of, I knew this chick
[02:57.86] Who used to just be happy to make it out the hood to see me
[03:00.09] Then she got on some fucking [?] shit
[03:02.08] She's starting asking me to do some shit...
[03:03.90] (Record fades to close)
