At night is when I day dream the most by far
With no visions of my future
The shit's pitched all black
The Devil's sending text messages
And it's all caps planting seeds
Hoping I believe that it's all facts
Like "Do you really see yourself
Becoming rich off rap?"
I really do, with the help of my crew
We a conglomerate
This time a few years back
The total opposite a 4-5 and a 9 was the
Numbers I solved my problems with
Back when I wore a Batman mask
And was robbing shit
With all this work I put in
Will it ever show?
With all these songs I put out
Will one ever blow?
F*ck a song, will I ever blow?
I guess until that time comes
We'll never know i'm really going places
Is you rolling with it?
I ain't just envision this life
I chose to live it
They say fame is like a drug
I hope you know your limit's
Know what you want
But don't sell your soul to get it
(Jay-Z Words of Wisdom Interview)
I doubt most of these niggas
Hip to what I'm on
Trying to get my body adjusted
To different time zones
Insomnia strikes and that's usually
Where my mind roams in search of creativity
I need to leave minds blown
Success is what my minds on
Trying to get my team a win
Large revenue's like a huddle
My niggas bring it in
Peace sign in front of that foreign
That means he in Benz
He that nigga, hate to break the news to you
CNN and if you see a passenger beside me
Know that she a 10, or a 9 like rondo
And my condo is where she attends
In the life I put the D up in
I need a rider so she hopped up
On top and gave me a spin
Then it's back to the city
Me and my clique running
How the f*ck is y'all the hottest
Did I miss something?
When you a stand out they
Always got they hand out
That's constipation my nigga
You ain't got shit coming
(Jay-Z Words of Wisdom Interview)
OK money, power, respect
Bet I know all three
Feel like I'm setting screens
Cuz niggas reaching goals off me
But what's the purpose of me winning
If we don't all eat
What's an opinion when I put my
Heart and soul on beats
Someone coming out of Vegas is
What we don't see often
Especially for somebody who done died
So many coffins
If there's a price on my head
I wonder what the cost is
Was a shooter on the court
An even better one off it
I did four years, yeah you heard me nigga
Four years and getting out killing it
Niggas saying it's your year
Walk through the flames, by my damn self
A lot of people left me then
Resurfaced once the smoke cleared
Real niggas, do you niggas even exist now?
Shit got so real, so real on 106 now
Something like a revolver the way
I'm holding my clique down
Labeled "that nigga" cuz labels want
To have sit downs
Dirt thrown on my name trying
To bury me alive
I'm plottin' to marry the game like
What's your wedding ring size?
My new shit breaking news shit
Larry King Live and f*ck a crown
Given this history cuz every king died
Ages before the time came
Patience was the mind frame
A hobo's mindset
I walk through life hoping to find change
My flow poppin', give these haters no options
The streets of Las Vegas they
Witnessed the rose blossom
Where I'm headed ain't no telling nigga
But where I'm from I'm quick to tell a nigga
I done lost hella niggas
Show and Prove interested, cosigned you
Hard work's the only time success
Is gon' find you my city know I raised the
Bar with my last tape
And I don't accept cd's that's unless
I need an ash tray
I'm a free agent by choice
Get your facts straight
If labels wanna change that
They gon' need cap space
The first sign of fraud shit
I'm quick to hit backspace
Competing with these bitch ass niggas
Feels like a drag race
You heard me nigganew Legends
