Now hes mr jacobs Rich due to labor Hardwork avoid the paper Got that itch not do it later He flipped the switch Hunger filled the plate up Not in for the glitz Not for the glamour Just picture life without a camera To the fullest dodge them bullets Once he got his shot Doors are open then he pulled it Trigger finger connoisseur Went to war with double edge swords Came out morphed like a virgin through the dorm A raining desert storm with Labels attacking the artists Turn back to bombardment Armor and armed with Flack in the ammo pack where the bars went All that struggling bugged him So now that he made it he buffing They love him he stuck in the moment Never forgetting the come up from nothing His pen is the public ends meet in abundance Goes ten deep for the substance Started from a hole in the wall now hes a stud Since he first performed in the club A flux in a rut never gave up He does what he loves He made a broken dream bounce in the mud Hook He was taking his time He stuck to his grind He belongs in the spotlight The spotlight He worked all day Stashed the future away
He belongs in the spotlight The spotlight He dont need no help He paid dues by himself He belongs in the spotlight The spotlight (x2) Money talks He up in conversation Down for conjugation People racing across the nation Trying to take his place in Never happens they ain't rapping They just acting like aladdin Wishing he would try that trapping He laughs out of pa**ion He blasts past em to see him back in the action The flashes natural reaction Hes nasty dirt spawned from his platnuim Hes plaque no sk** could cap Stayed compact they called him trash The blogged his craft And thats what made him rap Jay z of the future with the businesses He grew a forest to get back to his roots Helping the rich just isnt him He planted a seed of his own He sends letters to maria and kids back at home Hes on the road he misses em 2 weeks visiting she listening Wishing the envision can quicken And slit the company ribbon A store to sell some equipment With kendle jacobs the name he was given His mom is living good out of the system Stay rapping pa**ing talents down to the children
