My name's Alphonse
If I can't be who I am with myself in the mirror
Lie to the world but can't lie to yourself when it clear up
Gotta be real to yourself in the end, wit' yourself in the end
Gotta be real wit' yourself in the end, get selfish again
You can lie to everybody but your self-image
In crowd got you wallowing in self-pity
Pinned down, boxed in like a jail visit
Buying up designer drugs, get a belt with it
To hell with it, tell 'em open up the flood gates
All them lies media feeding us, need a buffet
All this genocide, they hiding it with a court date
Kill a nigga, lock a nigga and abort the babies
Man, I gotta be real wit' myself
Man, them bottles and them pills never help
Put the nozzle on the drill, give 'em hell
I decided, gotta kill to prevail
Stop that, you run from the truth like it's combat (Stop!)
You reachin' your heights off of contact (Hey)
Bitch, I'm me, all my ice just define that
If I can't be who I am with myself in the mirror
Lie to the world but can't lie to yourself when it clear up
Gotta be real to yourself in the end, wit' yourself in the end
Gotta be real wit' yourself in the end, get selfish again
Ay, G-O-D, I never lie
I been on my grind, I been taking care of mines
Supported brother when I saw him on the rise
Niggas hated when I made it though, I saw it in his eyes
What's the hate for? Tell a youngin "Take notes"
All my lil' niggas got a chain when they bame home
That's from all them overnighters in the same clothes
Gotta discipline yourself and learn to play broke
I ain't up at ten million, but I'm straight, though
'Nother 10
K retainer for the case closed
My dog lost a trial but he came close
Contemplated suicide and he came close
I wanna see my people but I can't, though
They'll fuck around, send the task wearing plain clothes
Call you Theodore if you aim low
Forever I remain focused
If I can't be who I am with myself in the mirror
Lie to the world but can't lie to yourself when it clear up
Gotta be real to yourself in the end, wit' yourself in the end
Gotta be real wit' yourself in the end, get selfish again
