[O.C.] Check, just the thought of me fillin that spot make rappers cringe I be the dope in the syringe that make 'em nod when I walk past Yo sand in the hourglass runnin out from '94 'til now They still ask when I'm comin out Respect held without the platinum portfolio I'm lyrical and still lethal as polio Past the stage of cars and Roleys and hoes I left Ohio one step below the holy ghost
[Chorus x2: sung] Why must I prove to y'all that I'm on my job and it ain't no thang? (It be a gift from God) I'm shinin my light like ev-ery-day (everyday)
[O.C.] Yo, frankly speakin I'm one of the best with rhyme and reason All season is force, lyrical prophets misleadin y'all heathens Demons, straight fire breathin They actions mischievous - what beef nigga? You vegan I'm a loyalist and no man on earth can he spoil this I go hard no matter how thick turmoil is Enjoyin this life, the only one I got to live When blessed to give I receive twice in return That's a gift in itself, but not selfish I admit I indulge and spoil myself, but who doesn't? Yet I always put God first, second be my health Wanted the same for fam, now that's humungous wealth
[Chorus]
[O.C.] Check, yo Diehards get it while the rest want the bullshit Look elsewhere for nonsense, I'm not that Never sellin my soul for sickness, witness becomin of a new beginnin, dickheads, misled ya misled Find ways to cleans yo'self, look deep within yo'self I recommend you break yo'self And rebuild from the inside out and take a good look Whether you jewish or christian or a muslim I'm doin the same, the sin is in my veins I wonder if I perform a transfusion will it drain? Fight through the pain despite knowin the game My life's been like a roller coaster ride weighin my brain
