[Verse 1] It's my birthday And my girl ain't called I think she's mad cause I work so hard I can't help it It's the way I am One man army No chain of command No telling me when to stop No one telling me, "you probably gonna flop" Just a bunch of fans That I call friends Cause they on my back Like a dorsal fin Do you ever wonder why I saw so thin? Do you ever wonder why my eyes closed? Man Cause all I do is eat beets And look straight into the light since I was ten We alone now, just me and you Growing old together While the beat loop Flowing yesterday already twenty two About to graduate, what's a brother gonna do? Let the ba** line shape to your bones I'm on stage and you're singing along Don't matter what you drank Don't matter what your name Don't have to spit game I'm still taking you on Love, what is that? All I know is there's a beauty in my bed And she wants to make a movie on my flip Called her Ms. Fat Booty so she called me Mos Def Uh, yeah, I know you f**in' with it Not famous quite yet but I'm coming with it I'm already high so I don't need to hit it I just pa** it to these rappers that need to get lifted Go to bed focused Wake up driven Live every day like I'm fresh outta prison I think I'm Langston Hughes Malik El Shabazz Albert Einstein, you can do the math [Chorus x2] I don't think I need a hook for this one Cause you're already hooked on this one No need to beat around the bush on this one You already know I already won (Do the math) [Verse 2] I'm the greatest rapper alive At least that's what my momma think Nobody used to give me love except for the homie Scribes Now everybody buy me drinks So, what am I supposed to think? How am I to feel? Knowing that I'm better than who got a deal Still, I got to keep it cool Cause a wise man said, "He who expects is a fool" I hit the books cause the words are my medium Richard Wright, Mark Twain, I see me in them I don't need a pen to show you I'm a scholar Solve problems in my head got it from my father I'm the leader of my cla** Dean's list, and he ain't even pa**ed Half-steppers need to read up on your raps Albert Einstein genius on the track [Chorus x2]
