about

I guess the overarching theme of an album about my life is that I consider myself an outsider. It's okay though, because I like it that way. Dr. Manhattan style.

lyrics

Verse 1

Cut throat. Ballers all fall down like Nutso
Big budget project. Album still sucks though
We shitting on the world and though we ain’t got much do
And you can like them other guys, but really, what the fuck for?
Do better. Still rep The Ville like I’m Cruella
Fitting gems inside of bars like a jewel setter
Whoever is in earshot of my voice then fear not
One of one. Them other rappers copy like a Xerox
Cumbersome. Always trying to prove that you’re number one
And I ain’t keeping score but you’ll always be a runner up
Keep a level head and while the whole world’s a clusterfuck
Enough’s enough. No more being led astray and run amuck
Sucker think’s he’s good and I know he can’t whoop me
I raise the bar on every joint and showed you how it should be
A Black, shining beacon who mastered his rhyme and reason
And put the game in a better place when I leave it

Chorus
Ayo I’m so prolific. Dog, it’s just different
I’m in my own world and y’all can’t come visit
I’m in my own world and y’all can’t come visit
I’m in my own room and y’all can’t come visit
Said I’m so prolific. Man, it’s just different
I’m in my own world and y’all can’t come visit
I’m in my own world and y’all can’t come visit
I’m in my own world and y’all can’t come visit

Verse 2:
Black survival. Been in cross hairs since my arrival
Every bullet missed including missiles from the silos
All the shit I been through made me see I have no rivals
Wisdom’s not an issue when I’m sharing all that I know
Looking at my iPhone, it’s about that time
Time for revolution. Building a better future
My people can’t be stopped. Man, we’re all gon shine
Strength in numbers. Move mountains when we all combine
I live legendary. Never did it for the awards
Just pay me in advance and at the end, give applause
Made a couple detours that knocked me slightly off course
But still I’m on the right path. My mama thanking the lord
Pour the champagne. Elders say, “the boy did the damn thing
“Job well done on this DRUGS produced campaign”
Stay working. Each day, creating a better me
And on my last breath, I left with the greatest legacy

Chorus:
