* Temptation talking to me  I try my best not to listen  The world fuckin wit me  Tryin to stop my ambition  And niggas talkin bout me  I know they hopin and wishing  That ima give it up or quit  But I say fuck all these bitches  Niggas talk to much  Lemme tell you this  If you ain't seen where I been you can't tell me shit  Spirits walking with me  I close my eyes and follow  I live for today  I might not see tomorrow  I heard it all before  All the lies and excuses don't wanna see now more  Stupid shit I throw deuces  Dog im out the door  This so simple and plain  I keep it hardcore  You gon remember my name, the call me fatboy  Im such a pro at this thang  The whole key  Work hard get your doe at this thang  But people look at me  Judge, before they see the man  Cash stones im losin for they deal my hand  Could you roll one up  Toe beneath me  The devil got a player down on his knees  I don't know why niggas think they wanna be like me  You gotta see what I see before you be like me  What you live for the truth but give nothing but pain  To anything evil for you soften your game  Words give life to the things that we think about  Life is hell  We go to heaven when we make it out  Yea, im like a thorn on a rosebush  Hard and prickely and discarded usually  Unseen, the world shittin on my hopes and dreams  Hope and dream that I can open up my throat and sing  Bring poetry and fly when I spread my wings  And let the world see the beauty in these ugly things  Scarred, like a scab, brittle and hard  Being green, and lame greens little reward  Slipping is a mistake and most they pay for it  Gruesomly hideouse, so you really can't ignore it  Yo, you see them pretty motherfuckas on the tv screen  Live and die for that fake shit on mtv  Turn the cameras off and watch our heroes transform  Runnin away from what real life did for em  Under the glitter and the bling of them expensive things  Thats where you find that truth and dogg that'll set you free  The real shit is the shit that I would want for me  Not them fools tryin to copy everything they see  This I will never be  From me you'll never see  Before I do it i'll say fuck this whole industry    Could ya roll one up  Smoke with me please  The devil got a player down on his knees  I don't know why niggas think they wanna be like me  You gotta see what I see before you be like me  Would you live for the truth but give nothing but pain  To anything evil puttin soft in your game  Words give life to the things that we think about  Life is hell we go to heaven when we make it out    Yea fuck em, fuck em, fuck em x8
