Where's my snare, I have no snare in my headphones, there ya' go, yeah, yo', yo'...
[Chorus: Akon] I tried so hard Can't seem to get away from misery Man I tried so hard I'll always be a victim of these streets It ain't my fault cause I Try to get away but trouble follows me And still I tried so hard Hoping one day you'll come and rescue me but Until then [Bone Thugs:] I'll be postin up right here Rain, sleet, hail, snow [Akon:] But until then [Bone Thugs:] I'll be postin up right here With my heat gettin dope (gettin dope)
[Verse 1:] (From Love me) There's a certain mystique when I speak, That you notice that's sorta unique, Cause you know it's me, my poetry's deep, And I'm still matic the way I flow to this beat, You can't sit still, it's like tryin to smoke crack And go to sleep, I'm strapped, Just knowing any minute I could snap, I'm the equivalent of what would happen if Bush rapped, I bully these rappers so bad lyrically, It ain't even funny, I ain't even hungry, It ain't even money, you can't pay me enough For you to play me, it's cockamanie, You just ain't zaney enough to rock with Shady, My noodle is cock-a-doodle, my clocks cuckoo, I got screws loose, yeahhh, the whole kit an' kaboodle, I'm just brutal. It's no rumour, I'm numero uno, assume it, There's no humour in it no more, you know I'm rollin with a swollen bowling ball in my bag, You need a fag to come and tear a new hole in my ass You better love me... bitch
[Verse 2:] (From Loose yourself) Soul's escapin' through this hole's that is gaping This world is mine for the taking Make me king as we move toward a new world order A normal life is boring But superstardom's close to post mortem It only grows harder, homie grows hotter He blows us all over, these hoes is all on him Coast to coast shows, he's known as the Globetrotter Lonely roads got him He knows he's grown farther from home, he's no father He goes home and barely knows his own daughter But hold ya nose cause here goes the cold water These hoes don't want him no mo', he's called product They moved on to the next shmo who flows Who nose dove and sold nada And so the so proper His toll, it unfolds and I suppose it's old, partner But the beat goes on Duh duh doe, duh doe, dah dah dah dah
[Verse 3:] (From Like toy soldier) I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders I am never supposed to show it, my crew ain't supposed to know it Even if it means goin' toe to toe with a Benzino it don't matter I'd never drag them in battles that I can't handle unless I absolutely have to I'm supposed to set an example I need to be the leader, my crew looks for me to guide 'em If some shit ever just pop off, I'm supposed to be beside 'em Now the Ja shit I tried to squash it, it was too late to stop it There's a certain line you just don't cross and he crossed it I heard him say Hailie's name on a song and I just lost it It was crazy, this shit way beyond some Jay-z and Nas shit And even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost it I spent too much energy on it, honestly I'm exhausted And I'm so caught in it I almost feel I'm the one who caused it This ain't what I'm in hip-hop for, it's not why I got in it That was never my object for someone to get killed Why would I wanna destroy something I helped build It wasn't my intentions, my intentions was good I went through my whole career without ever mentionin'... Now it's just out of respect for not runnin' my mouth And talkin' about something that I knew nothin
