[Intro: Rick Ross]
This is for the soldiers that see the sun at midnight, ya dig?
Let me slow down (it's so incredible)
[Verse 1: Rick Ross]
I go in the grave before I be a b**h n***a
Better behave, you dealing with some rich n***as
We the lost symbols speak in cryptic code
Ancient wisdom valuable like gifts of Gold
I embark on life, my path is all math
I understand the codes these hackers can't crack
I understand that folks expect me to fold
Community control to violate parole
I won't fail, but a lot of men will
I'm iconic in the field like Solomon's Seal
It's just the intro
Allow my flow time to sink into the tempo
Free Mason, freelancer
Free agents, we faster
Big contracts, big contractors
Built pyramids, period, we masters
No Caterpillars, it was just a lot of n***as
A lot of great thinkers and a lot of great inventors
All white mansion, I'm the child of God
All black diamonds, times were hard
New Rolls Royce, guess you made it, n***a
All-white neighborhood, you they favorite n***a
My top back like JFK
They wanna push my top back like JFK
So, so I "JFK"
Join forces with the kings and we ate all day
Right now I could rewrite history
I stopped writing, so f** it I'll do it mentally
[Hook: Rick Ross & John Legend]
I go to the grave before I be a b**h n***a
Better behave, you dealing with some rich n***as
Started in the ghetto, now we worldwide
Multiplying and I pray to God we never die
I go to the grave before I be a b**h n***a
Better behave, you dealing with some rich n***as
Started in the ghetto, now we worldwide
Multiplying and I pray to God we never die
[Verse 2: Jay-Z]
n***as couldn't do nothing with me
They put the devil on me
I would have preferred n***as squeeze the metal on me
Rumors of Lucifer, I don't know who to trust
Whole world want my demise; turn the music up
Hear me clearly: if y'all n***as fear me just say y'all fear me
f** all these fairy tales; go to Hell
This is God engineering
This is a Hail Mary pa**, y'all interfering
He without sin shall cast the first stone
So y'all look in the mirror
Double-check your appearance (parents)
b**h, I said I was amazing
Not that I'm a Mason
It's amazing, that I made it through the maze that I was in
Lord forgive me, I never would've made it without sin
Holy water, my face in the basin
Diamonds in my Rosary shows he forgave him
b**h I'm red-hot, I'm on my 3rd 6, but a devil I'm not
My Jesus-piece flooded, but thou shall not covet
Keep your eyes off my cupboard, I'm a bad motherf**er
It's Hov, just say you love it
[Hook: Rick Ross & John Legend]
I go to the grave before I be a b**h n***a
Better behave, you dealing with some rich n***as
Started in the ghetto, now we worldwide
Multiplying and I pray to God we never die
I go to the grave before I be a b**h n***a
Better behave, you dealing with some rich n***as
Started in the ghetto, now we worldwide
Multiplying and I pray to God we never die
[Bridge: John Legend]
If I ever die, never let it be said I didn't win
Never, never say
Never say Legend didn't go in (I'mma go in)
I just wanna die on top of the world
And making love to my favorite girl
I'm making beautiful music, we making a movie
We knew we was born to do it
[Hook: Rick Ross & John Legend]
I go to the grave before I be a b**h n***a
Better behave, you dealing with some rich n***as
Started in the ghetto, now we worldwide
Multiplying and I pray to God we never die
I go to the grave before I be a b**h n***a
Better behave, you dealing with some rich n***as
Started in the ghetto, now we worldwide
Multiplying and I pray to God we never die
