This is for the soldiers that see the sun at midnight, ya dig
Let me slow down
(It's so incredible)
I go to the grave before I be a bitch nigga
Better behave: you dealin' with some rich niggas
We done lost symbols speakin' cryptic codes
Ancient wisdom, valuable like gifts of gold
I embark on life; my path is all math
I understand the codes these hackers can't crack
I understand the folks expect me to fold
Community control to violate parole
I won't fail, but a lot of men will
I'm iconic in the field like Solomon's Seal
Uh, it's just the intro
Allow my flow time to sink into the tempo
Free Mason
Free Lancer
Free Agents
We faster
Big contracts, big contractors
Built pyramids, period, we masters
No caterpillars, it was just a lot of niggas
A lot of great thinkers and a lot of great inventors
All-white mansion, I'm the child of God
All-black diamonds, times were hard
New Rolls Royce--guess you made it nigga
All-white neighborhood; you they favourite nigga
My top back like JFK
They wanna push my top back like JFK
So, so I JFK
Join forces with the kings and we ate all day
Right now I could rewrite history
I stopped writing so fuck it
I'll do it mentally
[Chorus]
I go to the grave before I be a bitch nigga
Better behave: you dealin' with some rich niggas
Started in the ghetto, now we worldwide
Multiplying and I pray to God we never die
I go to the grave before I be a bitch nigga
Better behave: you dealin' with some rich niggas
Started in the ghetto, now we worldwide
Multiplying and I pray to God we never die
Niggas couldn't do nothing with me; they put the devil on me
I'd have preferred niggas to squeeze the metal on me
Rumors of Lucifer; I don't know who to trust
Whole world want my demise; turn my music up
Hear me clearly: if y'all niggas fear me
Just say y'all fear me
Fuck all these fairy tales
Go to hell; this is God engineering
This is Hail Mary pass; y'all interfering
He without sin shall cast the first stone
So y'all look in the mirror, double check your appearance
Bitch, I said I was amazing
Not that I'm a Mason
It's amazing that I made it though the maze that I was in
Lord, forgive me; I never would've made it without sin
Holy water my face in the basin
Diamonds in my Rosary shows He forgave him
Bitch, I'm red hot; I'm on my third six, but a devil I'm not
My Jesus piece flooded, but thou shall not covet
Keep your eyes off my cupboard; I'm a bad motherfucker
It's 'hov; hust say you love it
[Chorus]
If I ever die, never let it be said I didn't win
Never, never say
Never say Legend didn't go in (I'm-a go in)
I just wanna die on top of the world
Makin' love to my favorite girl
Or makin' beautiful music
We makin' a movie
We knew we was born to do it
[Chorus]
