99 problems bitchin' ain't one i learned over the years how to imitate running a tight ship for you so come here and let me bite that lip for you. okay, you can have your cake but you cant touch the icing you gotta hush the lightning 'cause motherfucking jailbirds like to sing (if that diamond rings your neck you got no one else to blame just your love for respect)
where respect ain't due protect your neck from the fangs you drew true blue collar blood with you love it you need it but that lust ain't true your colors are shinning through and there as yellow as the sun that's blinding you
(can you hear me? ...something about a business deal? ...i think i lost you)
but i held on to your innocence since you have a heart that beats still so just be still come out of the rain and open your ears and listen some are out to win (the big money) and some are just out to aim (and if all you see are triple sevens that's gonna go and cripple heaven for you)

now your passing the rock or your passing the liquor attracting the gods or attracting the bleeding its a delivery straight from your will and it will kill, thrill and haunt you got you holding on to things that weren't there and you weren't scared there there now hold down those demons no rush, no rush, keep breathing
