[Verse 1:] Yeah uh uh yeah I woke up to a cigarette, next to some food I ain't finished yet And I don't really care about my appetite Still im drunk so I reach and then I grab a bite I seen the light something told me woke up to the sky crying Had an epiphany it hit me like a nine iron And my cologne still present on my bu*ton up Lipstick marks on the collar from me cuttin up Formulating nonsense, breed of the league Had to wait it out till I found what I need Simon says go, I tried to move but Simon said no I'm far from it all i'm instructing while I grow I listen to my friends when they said it was irrelevant Had attended school for the pronouns and predicates Even played a fool when I did it for the presidents Had to stay ahead of it, this is my development [Verse 2:] Splash water on my face, wipe the cold out from my eyes I look into the mirror my reflection is surprised I Noticed that you cry even though I don't approve I look into the mirror cause I can't believe it's true It's you I tried to see myself as celebrity Either one shot or aim for longevity Just want to be the same person when you bury me Most won't even listen so I wrote it through a melody So as I get dressed in my garment I'm thinking how my outfit will determine who my target is Skater boy, punk rock, mad thugs, mad d**, mad type, mad white This is what it sounds like, artists of appearances No matter what the clearance is Erick is a staple when you stating something serious So paper chase, hold your weight when the levy breaks I levitate, and sh** I been doing this since ‘88
