My body has me suffering Fed by elites face smugged, while obviously corrupted Lobbyists run economy while the stock market's f**ed with So how am I to trust this, when Obama's just a puppet My momma bought a house and lost it Where was her bail out ya'll, but yet her pill habit the government supports it Real talk sh**, hold your applause, as my thoughts shift I value criticism, depending on who the source is Of course this is a course that's less traveled But you can't settle and never concern where you end up Just slipped, and it was so hard not to surrender But I skipped the fall, so I'll be gone til November And this zone, only I can enter These others cats ain't on my antenna, f** em Trumping the odds like its nothing at all On the plus side, negatives worked like golf, getting me up to par Dog, what started inauspicious Guarded and timid, has evolved I'm no longer constricted By all the lies, and i will not oblige My pride's my ride or die guide, la da da da sh** probably my stock'll rise when I'm not still alive To be real most ain't give BIg L props til he died What if I get shot and I die, huh?
