When They Come for Me (Live in Berlin, 20.10.2010)
«When They Come for Me»
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 the same 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
Trying to catch up motherfucker
Lauryn said money change a situation Big said it increase the complication Kane said don’t step, I ain’t the one Chuck said that uzi weigh a motherfuckin’ ton And I’m just a student of the game that they taught me Rockin’ every stage in every place that it brought me I’m awfully underrated but came here to correct it And so it ain’t mistaken I’m a state it for the record I am the opposite of wack, 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
Trying to catch up motherfucker
Oh when they come for me Come for me I’ll be gone (x3)
And all the people say… Trying to catch up motherfucker… (x2)
