Eightball & MJG - Thorn lyrics

Temptation talking to me, I try my best not to listen The world f**in' wit me tryin' to stop my ambition And n***as talkin' 'bout me, I know they hopin' and wishing That I'ma give it up or quit but I say f** all these b**hes n***as talk too much, lemme tell you this If you ain't seen where I been you can't tell me sh** Spirits walking with me, I close my eyes and follow I live for today, I might not see tomorrow I heard it all before, all the lies and excuses Don't wanna see no more, stupid sh** I throw deuces Dog I'm out the door this so simple and plain I keep it hardcore you gon' remember my name They call me Fatboy, I'm such a pro at this thang The whole key work hard get your doe at this thang But people look at me judge before they see the man Cash stones I'm losin' for they deal my hand, come on Could you roll one up, toe beneath me The devil got a player down on his knees I don't know why n***as think they wanna be like me You've gotta see what I see before you be like me What you live for the truth but give nothing but pain To anything evil for you soften your game Words give life to the things that we think about Life is hell we go to Heaven when we make it out Yea, I'm like a thorn on a rosebush Hard and prickly and discarded usually Unseen, the world sh**tin' on my hopes and dreams Hope and dream that I can open up my throat and sing Bring poetry and fly when I spread my wings And let the world see the beauty in these ugly things Scarred, like a scab, brittle and hard Being green and lame greens little reward Slipping is a mistake and most they pay for it Gruesomly hideouse, so you really can't ignore it Yo, you see them pretty motherf**as on the TV screen Live and die for that fake sh** on MTV Turn the cameras off and watch your heroes transform Runnin' away from what real life did for 'em Under the glitter and the bling of them expensive things That's where you find that truth and dog that'll set you free The real sh** is the sh** that I would want for me Not them fools tryin' to copy everything they see This I will never be from me you'll never see Before I do it I'll say f** this whole industry Could ya roll one up smoke with me please The devil got a player down on his knees I don't know why n***as think they wanna be like me You gotta see what I see before you be like me Would you live for the truth but give nothing but pain To anything evil puttin' soft in your game Words give life to the things that we think about Life is hell we go to heaven when we make it out Yea f** 'em, f** 'em, f** 'em, f** 'em, f** 'em Yea f** 'em, f** 'em, f** 'em, f** 'em, f** 'em Yea f** 'em, f** 'em, f** 'em, f** 'em, f** 'em f** 'em, f** 'em, yea f** 'em, f** 'em
