[Verse]
Many moons before I ever pressed record
And started to recite my thoughts
I thought it was a righteous cause
Living for the moment and then mortgaging all of my tomorrows
See my last 200 dollars
Lived in squalor, didn't spend it
Woke up to no breakfast, yet somehow I exist
The grace of God is how I get lift
Got tricked by the metrics
Waking up for class late
Complaining bout assignments cause you know the teacher's mad fake
Procrastinating on the last day
Cause I seen the landscape
Yeah my nigga, light the torch
Weed smoke ignite the forrest
They don't know about this life of ours it's like the force
A lot of pain endured upon the dark side
Dark Knight
Remember when my boy outside the car died
As I move across the archive
Didn't have enough bus fare,
So what's fair in life?
This ain't the paradise as its been advertised
Ain't no rapping forever when you in the afterlife
So we try to balance out the cost
Gather at the mosque of course
Schematics of what we mapped out, A cash route
dropped Wildcard and its still nothing to laugh bout
Energize the scene, "What you say T.S.?"
Hit the booth and black out like the J.P.S.
Evade major stress, everyday's a test
At the lecture, replying with bars was my conjecture
My context of trying to find a life that's destined
rearrange the punch lines beside the lessons
And you find the essence
When you pay the toll at 21 Haining Road, obey the code
If you building at Billy stall, pass the matterhorn, naw
They can't fuck with none of the tracks that's in the catalog
"What you rapping for anyway T.S.?"
Hit the stage and black out like the J.P.S.
12 Year span of murdering shows across the land
Jamaica Vibes, up On Da Roof, what's your dispute?
I done told 'em that "You niggas can't rap" and its the truth
Every line shot without the gunplay
rock a crowd Sunday to Sunday,
#PayAttention to how we take over the block
Innovation beyond the limitations in your statements
And I make sure every minute's greatness
Sacrifice just to get inside the venues
They cancel the location gotta switch it up and then move
They try to Harvey Dent you, actin like the rent's due
Taking half the gate at the event too
Regardless, we get through
Legendary like Big Foot, so how you gonna fill in them shoes?
Say it blatantly, that's the vacancy of fake emcees
Did more than rep for the game nigga, we made the league
It ain't nothing that they can replicate from A to Z
Niggas StarScream when they try to take the lead
Spado heard the Kartel banging down the block
So of course niggas upset, they ain't got what I got
You can See A Man's Face, but you can't see his heart
And everyday I'm relaying the art

[Outro: Dizzy the iLL One]
On my life
I put that on my life
On my life
Put that on my life
Against all odds, letting my real motherfuckers know
this be the realest shit I ever wrote
Put that on everything I own
This be the truest shit I ever spoke
