*Lighter flicks*
(Different By Choice shit, my n***a)
Lets go!!!
I know me on top's what they can't stand to see
N***as handed me nothing, they're whispers damaged the family
It was family first that is, til we met with calamity
Amitvillle Horror's can't match it, far as insanity
What's the point of a family tree, if you're forming a branch to leave?
Damn it, we had a dream
But, it's looking more like a fantasy
And I see, that it's up to me to become the H.N.I.C
They say, you gotta pay the cost
Well, I done paid a handsome fee
Now you want a feature from me?
Gotta pay me handsomely
I'll paint a masterpiece
Oh, now that's why haters is mad at me
Ain't that a travesty?
Make me feel some way for humanity
I'm human like you, ain't nobody granted me amnesty
And in the end you'll see, though I paint a picture si magnifique
I still got flaws, though they pay a fee for the man to speak
I'm so introverted, stay to myself like a manatee
Hate to sound cliche' and say, can I live
But, can I please?
We can't go back to broke, cause we done been there
Consider that shit a memory, put the weed in the air
And if you make it to the top, expect for me to be there
At the head of the table, with my feet in the air
Cause I grind (I grind)
I grind (I grind)
I grind (Like 24/7)
I grind (I grind)
I grind (I grind)
I grind (Like 24/7)
Listen in, to the kid as he's kicking' his...
Independent shit, right there off Lake Michigan
When you in this shit, gotta know that it's hit or miss
N***a when you miss, gotta keep rollin' like Michelin
And begin again, all while remembering in the end
That the mission is, to let em' see what the vision is
As a lyricist, I let em' know what precision is
Through my penmanship, I just let loose when the rhythm hits
On some n***a shit, but I can't settle for n***a rich
Trying to win this shit, but I found out that they rigging' it
The dilemma is, I'm trying to do it legitimate
N***as witnessed it, but they ain't help when I did the shit
Now I'm in this bitch, helping my n***as out with assist
Hit em' with the dish, then they pull up and then it (Swish)
It's ridiculous, they say they rap but the difference is
We see benjimans, all from creating these sentences
We can't go back to broke, cause we done been there
Consider that shit a memory, put the weed in the air
And if you make it to the top, expect for me to be there
At the head of the table, with my feet in the air
Cause I grind (I grind)
I grind (I grind)
I grind (Like 24/7)
I grind (I grind)
I grind (I grind)
I grind (Like 24/7)
Look, 1 thing's for cercertain 2 things for sure, ain't nobody ever gone give you nothing in this world. So, if it's something you want, it's up to you to get up, go out and get that shit. You know they say, revenge is the sweetest joy but, the best revenge is success. And they'll never see it coming... from the underdog
