Intro:
At night is when I day dream the most. By far..
Verse 1:
With no visions of my future, the sh*t'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 sh*t
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 limits
Know what you want, but don't sell your soul to get it
(Jay-Z Words of Wisdom Interview)
Verse 2:
I doubt most of these n*ggas 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 n*ggas bring it in
Peace sign in front of that foreign, that means he in Benz
He that n*gga, 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 n*gga, you ain't got sh*t coming
(Jay-Z Words of Wisdom Interview)
Verse 3:
OK money, power, respect, bet I know all three
Feel like I'm setting screens, cuz n*ggas 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 n*gga, four years
And getting out killing it
n*ggas 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 n*ggas, do you n*ggas even exist now?
sh*t got so real, so real on 106 now
Something like a revolver the way I'm holding my clique down
Labeled "that n*gga" 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 sh*t breaking news sh*t, 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 n*gga
But where I'm from I'm quick to tell a n*gga
I done lost hella n*ggas
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 sh*t, I'm quick to hit backspace
Competing with these b*tch ass n*ggas feels like a drag race
You heard me n*gga.....New Legends
