[Verse Three: Bumpy Knuckles] I was born a follower, who learned to lead Amongst low lives, shit bags who burn in greed Criticize me when you reach my level, until then Just admire my style of fire, it's fire I build on mistakes and learn from 'em Study my enemies and learn from 'em, then never turn from 'em (WORD!) The higher you fly, the smaller you appear to the eye Of those hate waited niggas on grown level.......DEVILS!!!!
