Learn what the game teaches Hope the pain ceases, insane genius Take Jagers till my brain freezes Crazy to stay breathing kid I ain’t leaving Hustle and flow, doing both for the same reasons For the cause my disturbed soul will burn slow Try to earn dough while I blaze in the inferno I let off my first shot and caught the fever Stepped one foot in the game and bought the ether No joke when I’m writing the rhymes Fuck a punchline, I’ll write about my life and my times This is real shit, throw your hands up if you can feel this Amadeus come through to show them what the deal is A wise man told me that justice was blind Tried to tip the scales so I’m stuck in the grind In the shadow of the sun so I struggle to shine Seems like I’m living in Hell getting fucked in the mind like
[Chorus x 2]
Judge not lest ye be judged, I need freedom Stay strong getting it on and keep breathing Stampeding far away from these demons Comfortably and safe in the company of saints
[Verse 2]
Yeah, never stress the feelings although the pressure’s building Children of a lesser god study lessons chilling So I’m bugging off it, the reluctant prophet Stop hating on me, come out of the fucking closet ? heat I’m copping , homie I see you watching I produce to get loose, I keep it rocking ? fam, you know what I stand for Hem up the boss man, knuckle down my landlord Screaming on the police, let em know there’s no peace Rip me up before I keep close game, it’s so deep I lost a lot of family and I could go next I know the cold facts of this life kid, it’s grotesque It’s like I’m playing a game I know I couldn’t win Shoula been good again, work is what I’m putting in Hate is what I’m getting back and that’s a simple fact I don’t owe a goddamn thing, pussy, I live the rap
[Chorus x 2]
[Verse 3]
Yeah, let him without sin cast the first stone I give my life to these kids, what has the church shown? Nothing strangely, I’m angry justifiably Call me a rebel cause I never trust society Sold my soul, cold-hearted and my brain’s numb Get to where I’m going, won’t forget where I came from Dodging pitfalls, shit eating grin y’all Listen to the words motherfucker, make your skin crawl Everyday I’m representing the team You can cut the words but you could never censor the dream Put me in a dark cell without a pot to piss in Left in pitch black but you could never block the vision Turn my friends against me, leave me in the gutter Do me physical harm but you could never beat a brother No born loser, cousin I was bred to win In other words, fuck the world, they can sit and spin
