[Verse I:]
I got the night watch going in
Catch dollar after dollar ‘til the morning
I got the morning yawning
Early bird special, what you want friend
I get it off, going on ‘til it's gone then...(uh)
Back on it, like I'm holding up the bulk head
But I'm full hand, so I'm all in
Look how I raise you
Got my full house in order, that's what a young sis call appraisal
Bet I bet that, watch me set that
Bar higher then where the legends left it
Let em rest cat (uh uh) breathe
Feel like I got everybody eyes on me
Hope they don't ever want to have to 2pac me
B-I-G or King on the balcony/ cus
Hook:
They k** the messenger x3
These dumb mother-f**ers k**ed the messenger
[Verse II:]
All I really wanted was a good night sleep
But can't count sheep
When wolves eat at your playpen
And my daydreams make my nightmares
Wear my nights down ‘til the am
Am I wake or am I sleep
I just can't seem to tell the difference
What I think is what I get
I guess that's what gets me this type of living
Cus I'm free, mind, body, and soul
All of it in control
If you knew what I know then you'd be ready to go too
You remote controlled to
Get comfortable in the ways of what you won't do
That's what you don't do
Free your mind fall in line
And if it come down to it ninja h'up, two/
Hope they don't ever have to Pimp C you, Big Hawk, pokey you, silence you
Trae the truth (damn)
Hook:
They k** the messenger x3
The radio man k**ed the messenger
[Verse III:]
No mans an island, though every man private
In keeping your silent you learned how to be quiet
And just take it cus they know you'll take it
Until it's too close for comfort
As simple as break in
Now they got you tied up, making your mind up
Build it, they will come
Pitch tents and they line up
They cages are comfortable, they chambers designer
Commitments are iffy, they ways sort of kind of
The consequences are major, the casualties minor
They efforts are mindless, positivity minus
The structures are corrupt, they've appointed all liars
Wonder what the f**s up, fist cuff conspired Alliance
And I am
Sipping on Texas tea
Rollin up smoking on west indies
Got papers but I ain't got no I.D
Off the grid how I live
Until they give us, us free cus
Hook:
They k** the messenger x3
Why the hell would you go and k** the messenger
