I am not / a pattern to be followed The pill that I'm on is a tough one to swallow I'm not a criminal / not a role model Not a born leader I'm a tough act to follow I am not / the fortune and the fame Nor a sane person telling you to forfeit the game I came in the ring like a dog on a chain And I found out the underbelly's sicker than it seems And it seems ugly / but it can get worse 'Cause even a blueprint is a gift and a curse 'Cause once you got a theory of how the thing works Everybody wants the next thing to be just like the first And I'm not a robot I'm not a monkey I will not dance even if the beat's funky Opposite of lazy / far from a punk Ya'll ought to stop talking start trying to catch up motherfucker And all the people say
Lauryn said money change a situation Big said it increase the complication Kane said don't step / I ain't the one Chuck said you're losing your motherfucking time And I'm just a student of the game that they taught me
Rockin' every stage in every place that they brought me I'm awfully underrated / but came here to correct it And so it ain't mistaken I'ma state that for the record / I am / the opposite of whack / opposite of weak Opposite of slack / synonym of heat Synonym of crack / closest to a peak Far from a punk Ya'll ought to stop talking / start trying to catch up motherfucker And all the people say
