I just wanna thank y'all for takin' the time to listen |
|
I appreciate that |
|
Yo, regular |
|
TV to cable from bouncin' label to label |
|
Just tryin' to get the horse outta the stable |
|
Was once part of a dynasty, well, least |
|
I was tryin' to be |
|
Think it was the time in my life when |
|
I was findin' me |
|
Sittin' in the spot with the dimes |
|
Willin' to do anything just to be a |
|
Bad Boy at the time |
|
Then I rolled the dices, nah, the money didn't add up |
|
But just that whole experience, it was priceless |
|
No free rides to the bank |
|
On top of that was the untimely demise of |
|
Frank B.I. |
|
Then the ' |
|
No Way Out' tour, we was smokin' outdoor |
|
Made eighty stacks off |
|
Cee-Lo that without tour |
|
Videotaped it all, |
|
I still watch it now |
|
I traveled the world, learned how to rock a crowd |
|
It ain't much but it beats poor things that |
|
I've been through |
|
Is all I can speak for |
|
I can only speak for the things that |
|
I've been through |
|
I can only speak for the things that |
|
I've been through |
|
Now I'm on |
|
Ruff Ryder, |
|
Interscope |
|
Same shit partnership, joint venture fifty, fifty, same split |
|
Jimmy put the money up, two singles off of ' |
|
We Are The |
|
Streets'Then after that seemed like he was done with us but it wasn't over yet |
|
Styles had a plan from the jump |
|
Which was to come out with my solo |
|
Next thing's a little better |
|
These the niggas that |
|
I been doin' it wit forever |
|
Next, so I'm like whatever |
|
The first album dropped, promotion was hella |
|
Every stage |
|
I rocked, the performance was stella |
|
Had the whole world ready to ride or die for me |
|
And I wasn't platinum, |
|
I was just side money |
|
X was bringin' in the moollah |
|
I was in the hood in the kitchen wit the digital ruler |
|
I can't tell you 'bout the evil men do |
|
I can only speak for the things that |
|
I've been through |
|
I can only speak for the things that |
|
I've been through |
|
I can only speak for the things that |
|
I've been through |
|
As far as the |
|
LOX, we all fine, cellar is all wine |
|
Selfish for me to say |
|
Rocfella is all mine' |
|
Cause it ain't , |
|
I'm just a another employee that's on line |
|
Tryin' to get my act together and do it one more time |
|
Twenty one guns salute with all nines |
|
And I know it's on me to make sure that we all shine |
|
Gotta fall back, let the weed contact your mind |
|
Confined bullshit in any contract you sign |
|
But if you from the streets though, it's plenty of loop holes to eat yo' |
|
Once they let you in you're supposed to keep doe |
|
But I can't give you the formula, |
|
I'm on it though |
|
Expect the worst, the outcome is enormous, though |
|
Stay humble, still keep your heat for insurance though |
|
Things that |
|
I been through to get it weren't normal yo' |
|
Yeah, this is what my heart beats for |
|
Things that |
|
I've been through is all that |
|
I can speak for |
|
I can only speak for the things that |
|
I've been through |
|
I can only speak for the things that |
|
I've been through |
