I went from irrelevant to real and now you know what I’m about To where my story starts from how the fuck it come about Where’d I get my heart from? Defiance in my arteries There’s giants in my neighbourhood, the violence is a part of me Silencers on shotties while Illuminati’s eying me The future’s in my palm, this is who it is that I will be It’s intuitive probably, I just knew that it gotta be My come down and paranoia’s like I’m through with a robbery I came through with the mob with me, my brothers are gangsters For real fuck the pinstripe suits, we shoot to kill I ain’t no guinea driving around in a Coupe de Ville I’m an Irish alcoholic staring with the ruthless grill I been around the world from the rhymes that my hands wrote Fiends shooting dope in their veins cause they can’t cope I read the letters from the prisons that my mans wrote And screamed the pain in my life from my damn throat Cause I am
[Chorus]
No superstar, no father figure I keep it simple for you, it ain’t hard to figure I shouldn’t have to scream and shout To get my point across, when I was young this is what I dreamed about
Crispy benjamin bills and heroin, hey Code of silence, violence never could say Fly ho sucking me off every day Fuck the world, this is just the American way
[Verse 2]
Rosary beads hang from my neck, sixes on my dice repeatedly With Jesus and Judas at the Last Supper They’re both starting to eat at me I started bogarting the scenery when nobody believed in me My friends are ODing and leaving me People are pussy pushing me over the edge perceiving me evilly Even if I deceivingly mean to be mean, it’s all meaningless And I’ll be locked in a six by eight box as a genius If the genie is coming out the lamp three wishes Then I ask first to stop being so vicious Remember back when I was broke and cleaning those dishes For five bucks an hour, all I wanted was power Number two, I wish that I could be understood It’s time to be before I’m six deep under dirt Under but finally cause I’m a piece of shit I got plenty of people reminding me I have visions that you gotta be blind to see My third wish is for my son to be a champion And see the light when the world’s dark and the lamp is dim He can’t be me and thank God that I can’t be him Let him know who loves him, this is what I was then
