[Hook] I think I'm Malcolm X, Martin Luther Add a King, add a Junior Some Bible verses, a couple Sunnahs An AK-47, that's a revolution Then, think I'm 2Pac, Bob Marley Fela Kuti, Marcus Garvey Them the real ones, light a lighter for ‘em Let you know that I'm riding for ‘em Gonna get me some, a little more beat Call your friends around, then call the police I'm riding with my flow, it take up 4 seats So I'm gonna ghostride - but with no sheets One man by myself even then I'm 4 deep Like hotel swimming pools that's 4 feet These n***as like the rooms: so suite Priceline: so cheap I'm a cell phone, they some room keys I'm some shell toes, they the shoestrings I turn ‘em off (I turn ‘em off) I take ‘em out (I take ‘em out) I'm Reverend Run, with the laces out My Adidas, so adios "All Day I Dream" like I'm comatose That's your ship sinking, and I'm so afloat I'm T-Pain, I'm on a boat Not the slave one, DiCaprio's, neither Here the waves come, they started in the bleachers So I'm swag surfin', the pool's getting deeper You still sweet, though, here come them roomkeepers Okay, I be the strings, you be the shoes But guess what? Now they Jimmy Choos I wear the pants, you in the Poohs Yo' sh** meows, my sh** awoooooos I got a fifth floor, call me Brother Man Africa the set, yeah, that's the Motherland For that BP I shed 50 tears In Nigeria that oil been spilling for like 50 years “50 years?

That's the realest sh**, yeah, you gon' feel that Hunger's your enemy, but you can't k** that n***a, wake up, don't join the Army k** your own peoples, but fear Illuminatis And they ain't even real, or are they? But you wouldn't even know, because you partay Too f**ing much, if you start to doubt They already in your mind, and coming out your mouth It's not a trick, n***a, it's a trap "Survival of the Fit" is what they aiming at And n***as ain't fit (nope), fat as hell (yep) Fat in mind (yep), body fat as well Who use most the d**?

From the streets, n***a Triple OGs, told me to teach, n***a And that ain't made up, that's a fact They say that gangsta sh**, is the sh** I rap Look who I attract, look at my inner circle Buncha street n***as, and a couple Urkels Look at my fan base, oh, yes f** what Pro say, look at this protest Where they do that at? (Huh?) Who they do that for? (Who?) Must mean I'm doing bad, and things is moving slow They talking revolution on public radio They catch down in Houston, sitting on them 84s Trae, what's up? ABN Got your back, n***a, sink or swim Free Chilly Chill, shake off your masters Pray to God, build your mind faster [Hook] FNF up! Lasers!
