[VERSE 1 - T.I.]
Hey, Never mind what haters say, ignore them 'til they fade away Amazing they ungrateful for after all the game I gave away Safe to say I paved the way, for you cats to get paid today You'd still be wasting days away, now had I never saved the day
Consider them my protégé, homage I think they should pay Instead of being gracious, they violate in a major way I never been a hater, still I love them in a crazy way Some say they so yay and no they couldn't get work on Labor Day
It ain't that black and white, it has an area that's shaded gray I'm west side anyway, even if I left today and stayed away Some move away to make a way not move away cause they afraid I brought back to the hood and all you ever did was take away
I pray for patience but they make me wanna melt their face away Like I once made them spray, now I could make them put their taze away Been thuggin' all my life, can't say I don't deserve to take a break If you ever see me catch a case, and watch my future fade away
