Shoutout Dakari
Shoutout Ed, shoutout Jesse, shoutout The Game
It's like we always do it this time
Just take it to myself like, yeah, uh
Starin' at a blank canvas
Thinkin' about what should I write, should I plan this?
Reminiscing 18, a freshman on campus
With dreams so big, nobody understands us
'Til they came true, started goin' bananas
Somewhere along the road, I got us as lost as Atlantis
Benders in Vegas, drinking under cabanas
The medicine for breakups, take the pills life hand us
No sleep, I been up for a couple of days
Can't nobody talk to him, been stuck in my ways
They say it's "unsustainable", but f*ck it, it pays
Results and results, keep runnin' in place
I see the writing's on the wall, the shit's getting clear
My new girl says she love me, but I don't even hear her
I can't even drive a Jag', that shit is inferior
Only time I see a threat, when I look in the mirror (yeah)
They only love you (ayy) when you're gone
It don't matter where you're goin', (uh) yeah (you know)
But I did it on my own
So I'd rather be alone, yeah (I'd rather be alone, uh)
They only love you when you're gone
It don't matter where you're goin' (yeah), yeah (uh)
But I got it on my own, so I'd rather die alone (yeah)
Yeah, the greatest gift is knowledge itself
They fail to talk about my journey with mission and wealth
I made it here all by my lonely, no askin' for help
What if my debut never dropped and got kept up on a shelf
Uh, from the soil, grew it slowly
A black leather, slicked back, they want the old G
"Things are happening again", that's what they told me
I came home, full circle, not as an OG
Blink my eyes to my surprise, I'm in Tokyo
20,000 in the crowd singing every quote
Blink again and they kickin' me out of Canada
I swear you wouldn't have the stomach or the stamina
Yeah, my shoulders carry over 20 tons
Biggie said it's mo' problems when the money comes
My songs speak to the greats, yeah, the one-of-ones
I'ma go out as a legend when it's said and done (yeah)
They only love you when you're gone
It don't matter where you're goin', (where you go, uh) yeah
But I did it on my own (on my own)
So I'd rather be alone, yeah (I'd rather be alone, yeah)
They only love you when you're gone (yeah)
It don't matter where you're goin', yeah
But I got it on my own, so I'd rather die alone
Yeah, who put this shit together? I put this shit together
I'ma wear all my chains like some Olympic medals
They think it's all a game, so I'm thinkin' winning record
They thinkin' Kurt Cobain, but I'm thinkin' living legend
I'm straight to the Hall Of Fame, from the hallways of the ghetto
It's f*ck the world, f*ck 12, since I was like ten, eleven
I built the whole f*ckin' mountain, I started out with a pebble
That money talk, that's a convo
If you broke then that's a lecture
I does me, 'cause only God can judge me
Nigga, trust me, only I can trust me
Yeah, it's just me, and the skies above me
But I dug deep, now close your eyes and come see
Will they love me when I'm gone? Will they know me?
Do they love me when I'm home or when I'm OT?
I'm here, and I don't know how long before I won't be
So when I'm gone, how long will they mourn me? (Yeah)
They only love you when you're gone
It don't matter where you're goin', (where you go) yeah
But I did it on my own (on my own)
So I'd rather be alone, yeah
They only love you when you're gone (Wayne, I appreciate you more than you'll ever understand)
It don't matter where you're goin', yeah (you know, a hero of mine)
But I got it on my own, so I'd rather die alone (uh)
Yeah, uh, never finished, tryna search for more
F*ck a hit, this shit is what I do it for
So these bars will always be apart of me
Right now, I feel like track two on Tha Carter III
Uh, like I'm 2008 NOLA
This shit was bubblin' and I don't even drink soda
The whole industry was givin' me a cold shoulder
And now my record label needs me to make quota
Yeah, this all facts and every bar is real
Twenty years, pray to God I'm makin' art still
I'm letting everything go like a yard sale
'Cause these songs will beat longer than my heart will
