lyrics

Introduction:

"Well I know this, and anyone who's tried to live knows this. That what you say about somebody else, you know, anybody else, reveals you. What I think of you as being, is dictated by my own necessities. My own psychology, my own fears, and desires. I'm not describing you when I talk about you, I'm describing me" - James Baldwin

[Verse One]

Been five years in the making
I'm steady pacing
Looking back on what it was
And how that money
Had you faking it, huh?
So what is real love
When that circle that you lovin' on
Neglects to unify, or utilize
The words they're standing on
Was finding purpose in self
But you couldn't see it
Yo, it's funny when the tables turns
And you become defeated, listen
Lessons learned, bridges burned
But I aint trippin'
They asked me why I fell back
And I just had to peep it
We was falling apart
Another shot in the dark
And I was sitting there confused
Because I worked from the heart
I give a fuck about your fan bases
Or how you're feelin'
When you mention Organized Threat
You gotta mention who built this
The roster
Like back when we had did it for the love
Before the money had got involved
Before you showed me what your colors was
I found comfort in beefin'
For what it really was
A chance for me to understand
That my talents weren't for everyone
And every now and then I'll send a blessing
I wanna see you niggas winning regardless
I see the paper trail, the money you spending
The fancy cars and the women
I see you signing off your rights
For those who fight
To keep them shackles on you
You funny style
Cause I truly cherish the laughter
You and me is like the difference
Of slave niggas, and masters
2012 was when it popped off
Niggas was in their feelings now
But I spoke about that shit on "Mercy"
Four years after a gang of losses
Who would of thought
That I'd be standing here today
With no regrets
I know it's hard to picture
My legacy is more like Shady and Hov
Cause yea, it's taken me some time
But I'm the boss on this boat
I'm the owner of masters
The head chef when I'm cookin'
The visionarious visionary
The future is lookin'
Quite immaculate
I dabble with questions
About my past and shit
We go in the past and shit
I'm stayin' true to my roots
Hollywood Hollywood
Ya'll can keep that image
My fanbase respects the politics
Intelligent living
So let me break it down specifically
You niggas will never get to me
I'm not a rapper
More like God with a mic
And let's be honest
Them niggas never left no Threat
They got addicted to the hype
I kicked them out of the set
That for the record
Cause I aint the type
To be faking a friendship
Or touring around the world
With folks I dissed on a record
From the jump I kept it A-1
We was taking it over
How the fuck you hate on Poe
When he's the one who took you over
No apologies
I came from a single mother statistic
And my intuition was telling me
Not to trust these niggas
Too many enemies
Reflecting on memories of friendemies
Like I aint taught ya'll better
Like I aint built for the weather
Like I aint stood against the storm
When we was broke without a joke
I tried to keep the team together
But the team lost hope
When they was chillin'
With my enemies
Knowing that we was beefin'
On some Drake and Nicki shit
See I was Meek Mill
Taking note of it all
I hope you're happy in your situations
No home invasions
187s and pleas to the judge, my niggas
When it's all said and done
I prefer the purpose
I'm a legend in my own rights
Beneath the surface
You made a living off of lunch meal tickets
Robbing your fanbase
Underage stans who give a damn
About your fabrications
Another superstar the world embraces
And I find closure in my heart
Just knowing I aint basic, listen
Another superstar the world embraces
And I find closure in my heart
When any one of ya'll make it, nigga
No apologies.
