I BEEN ON TOP OF EVERYTHING, BUT I DON'T REALLY NEED TO SHINE,
WHAT I WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING
I JUST NEED A LITTLE PEACE OF MIND
I BEEN DOWN, I BEEN DOWN BAD
BUT I'M STRONG WHEN I COME BACK
CUZ WHEN I GET MY MONEY RIGHT,
I'MA SHOW EM HOW TO RUN THAT

FIGHTING ALL MY DEMONS,
I'M WINNING
BUT THEY BE SINNIN, IM DEFENDING THE TENSION OF GETTING
CAUGHT UP IN THE SYSTEM
AVOIDING VENOM - OUS
SENTIMENTS, I COULD DEAD EM, BEHEAD EM AND NEVER
LET EM FIND ANY EVIDENCE
THE MEASURE OF A MAN IS THE POWER IN MY HAND, A COUPLE GRAND, COUPLE
HOURS IN ADVANCE
THEY WOULD SCOUR ALL
THE COWARDS IN THE LAND, SCOPE FROM THE TOWER,
NOW ITS FLOWERS WHERE HE STAND
SAD STORY FOR A LOST SOUL, MAKE SURE YOU FIND ME IN THE CROSS ROADS
THEY HAD PLANS BUT
ITS BLOOD ON MY HANDS
AM I FORGIVEN? ONLY GOD KNOWS
THESE DECISIONS I'M GIVEN
IS ONLY LIFTING UP THE VILLAIN I'M SO FOCUSED ON KILLIN
BUT WILL IT HAPPEN?
DEALING WITH THE FEELIN
I JUST STARE AT THE CEILIN
AND IM PREPARIN TO CONCEAL IT -
IN MY RAPPING

I BEEN ON TOP OF EVERYTHING, BUT I DON'T REALLY NEED TO SHINE,
WHAT I WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING
I JUST NEED A LITTLE PEACE OF MIND
I BEEN DOWN, I BEEN DOWN BAD
BUT I'M STRONG WHEN I COME BACK
CUZ WHEN I GET MY MONEY RIGHT,
I'MA SHOW EM HOW TO RUN THAT

CAUGHT BETWEEN MY SHADOW
AND MY HIGHEST SELF
UP CREEK WITHOUT A PADDLE
WINNING BATTLES GAINST MY SELF,
I BEEN SWINGING, I AIN'T NEVER
HEARD THE BELL, IF THEY DON'T GIVE ME HEAVEN
I'LL BE OUT HERE RAISING HELL,
THIS WHAT I DO, I BEEN BREAKING RULES, MAKING MOVES, YEAH THEY HATIN TOO BUT THEY
STAY CONFUSED, KEEP A TOOL, BUT I'M PRAYING TOO, WE SURVIVE AND WE THRIVE,
SO WE MAKE IT THROUGH, THIS IS WHAT IM WORTH SO I DO THE WORK,
E - VERY VERSE, LIKE
SALT FROM THE EARTH
I BEEN SENT TO DISPERSE
IT'S THE GIFT AND THE CURSE
CUZ THEY GIVE US THE WORST, BUT WE FIND NEW WORTH,
PUT THAT SHIT IN REVERSE,
THEY COULD FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT,
THEY COULD FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT,
THEY COULD FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT,
THEY COULD FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT,
BOUT THE HOMIE...

I BEEN ON TOP OF EVERYTHING, BUT I DON'T REALLY NEED TO SHINE,
WHAT I WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING
I JUST NEED A LITTLE PEACE OF MIND
I BEEN DOWN, I BEEN DOWN BAD
BUT I'M STRONG WHEN I COME BACK
CUZ WHEN I GET MY MONEY RIGHT,
I'MA SHOW EM HOW TO RUN THAT
