[Verse Three] On a world tour Monkey Wrench, they my man Fly each and every place with Blackberrys in hand Leavin' e'rything behind, I call that your past But I'll be back with more memories and shopping bags They embrace us like it's our home When all around the world, they singin' the same song You only die once but you can live forever So I put my life in my music, however Y'all kill me I just play dead I got big city dreams Don't wake me ya hear? But you believe, if nobody dead, it's better to give than receive I give 'em all of me And they keep tryin' me Like, if at first you don't succeed I just bounce back like bad checks, hit or miss You shoot for the stars and brick You air ball, I ball like this And if you say what you feel you must feel bad Cause y'all ain't sayin' nothin' good I'm all I ever had Shout out to the richest of the broke rappers Y'all wait till the price go down I'm in another country, 'nother town Gettin' cultured How you gonna stop us now? There's a means to an end I'm makin' ends meet For a lot of y'all rappers it's the beginning of the end
