[01:12.52]The boy that set fire to the booth
[01:15.21]In a game full of liars it turns out that I'm the truth
[01:18.02]Some say that rap's alive, it turns out that I'm the proof
[01:21.08]Cuz the ones y'all thought would save the day can't even tie my boots
[01:24.27]The ones y'all thought could hang with me can't even tie my noose
[01:27.14]Let these words be my bullets *****, I don't rhyme I shoot
[01:30.77]Bang!
[01:31.90][Hook:]
[01:32.27]Before I wake
[01:33.40]I pray to the Lord, my soul to take

[02:47.73]
[02:48.67]Brother you're lame, you're Shane Battier
[02:50.36]
[02:50.92]You out of shape, my mind run a mile a minute
[02:53.85]The sky's the limit, I'm so high, I'm divin' in it
[02:56.79]My rides is tinted, my knob's gettin' slobbed up in it
[02:59.48]She hollerin' God, man you would've thought that God was in it
[03:02.92]But it's just a ***** God invented
[03:04.92]The best out, foolish pride'll make you not admit it
[03:07.79]Word, this **** ain't vibe *****, why you noddin' with it?
[03:10.60]The hate in your blood can't stop your soul from vibin' with it
[03:13.60]Now you all conflicted cause my flows is wicked

[03:37.48]Get arrested and forget to tell my mama
[03:39.67]She got enough to stress about
[03:41.48]My ****** gonna get me out
[03:43.04]Then we hit the club with the thugs and the liquors
[03:45.73]No criminal record but I'm makin' criminal records
[03:47.55]
[03:48.36]Isn't it ironic? Isn't it iconic?
[03:50.29]Jacket so expensive you wouldn't even try on it
[03:54.29]But it fit me perfect, I purchase it if I want it
[03:57.11]The city on my shoulder, so no girl, you can't cry on it
[04:01.54]When you make a list of the greatest aye, am I on it?
[04:04.36]Maybe not yet but ***** I got the clock set
[04:06.79]It goes tick-tock, game on lock
[04:08.61]Sun gon' shine but the rain won't stop
[04:11.42]Oh no!
[04:12.35][Hook:]
[04:19.48]If I should die before I wake
[04:26.68]I pray to the Lord, my soul to take
[04:29.51]My soul to take, my soul to take...
[04:31.77]
