[00:10.00]I'm off the clock, permanently calling shots like D**k Vitale
[00:13.60]Shake up the world for sure, no Richter Scale
[00:15.92]Blindfold the truth from youth, I lift the veil
[00:18.44]Please don't **** with me
[00:20.03]Living the dream, secretly I'm seeing the things you see on the screen
[00:23.40]Recently I fiend for d**k, I need it to dream
[00:25.99]B*****s ain't paid their dues, I need receipts
[00:28.33]Please don't **** with me
[00:29.97]I been through weathering storms, torrential rain
[00:32.75]My penmanship just pencils instant pain
[00:35.22]Came from 9-to-5's, afraid to fly
[00:37.50]Till I earn my wings and now they wave goodbye
[00:40.01]Took me thirty years just to get it started
[00:42.16]Long as the tombstone says artist
[00:45.00]Dreamville the '96 Bulls
[00:46.69]Taking all y'all power breaking 48 Laws
[00:49.25]How 'bout it?
[00:51.75]I played my cards and changed the odds my shit
[00:53.92]How 'bout it?
[00:56.62]I made it through hell while blocked from heaven my shit
[00:58.83]How 'bout it?
[01:01.41]I played my cards and changed the odds my shit
[01:03.75]How 'bout it? How 'bout it?
[01:09.12]Hot rod, ride by, slow down the block
[01:11.35]Shots fired, drive-by, Lord will it stop?
[01:13.78]Cowards on the news think that cowardice is gritty
[01:16.26]Bullets whizzing by me every time I'm in the city
[01:18.76]Kill me, rob me, take my gems and jewels
[01:21.04]And paint my schools with Jesus Christ as white
[01:23.43]Then lock my father up for life
[01:25.06]Institutionalize my rights, then hide my plight from sight
[01:28.51]That's trickery, steal our swag, that's mimicry
[01:31.14]I am original man, empirically
[01:33.59]Chi City heart, I'm just being honest
[01:35.84]Born poet, b***h **** a song here's a sonnet
[01:38.08]How 'bout it?
[01:41.04]I played my cards and changed the odds my shit
[01:42.87]How 'bout it?
[01:45.78]I made it through hell while blocked from heaven my shit
[01:47.92]How 'bout it?
[01:50.55]Played my cards and changed the odds my shit
[01:52.79]How 'bout it? How 'bout it?
