What you been through? I been through it all
I came from the bottom, we was movin' raw
Why you got that gun? You
Ain't gon' shoot at all
I stay ten toes win, lose or draw
I got some homies still behind the wall
Told me I was the best before
I got signed at all
Don't confuse me with these new
Niggas cause I ain't y'all different breed
I'm cut from a different kind of cloth
If I want it, I'ma grind for it
I put my life on the line for it
Rap niggas diss me and I don't respond
They know I'm too lyrically inclined for it
Street shit
You ain't got the stomach or the spine for it
Send a goon to whack you I
Ain't got the time for it
Eh, get outta line I got my 9 for it
That grimy shit, I'm on it, Machine

They wanted me dead but they was unsuccessful
Why my life gotta be so fuckin' stressful?
I ain't ask nobody to treat me special
Why my life gotta be so fuckin' stressful?
I just need a smoke to take
My mind off the bullshit
I just need a smoke to take
My mind off the bullshit

I stuck my hand in the
Game and pulled out cheques
This Fear of God color way ain't out yet
I am on fire, they ain't put me out yet
Violate the mob, you get your house?sweatin?
I got a bad lil bitch and her mouth wet
She got pounds in her luggage flyin southwest
Niggas get mad and poke out chest
If it's some smoke, then I pull out, sket
You broke niggas still tryna get out debt
I been a threat since they removed
That bullet out my neck
Without a doubt I'm the best
You looking at Illmatic Nas
Jay Reasonable Doubt in the flesh nigga
Niggas rapping about trappin when they
Ain't sell a thing
Talking gangsta shit and they
Ain't lettin' metal ring glock on my hip
Told you that blicky hold seventeen
Don't make me pull up on
You give you everything, machine

They wanted me dead but they was unsuccessful
Why my life gotta be so fuckin' stressful?
I ain't ask nobody to treat me special
Why my life gotta be so fuckin' stressful?
I just need a smoke to take
My mind off the bullshit
I just need a smoke to take
My mind off the bullshit
