I didn't ask for this
I was given a gift, then mastered it
The pain came with it, at times I feel like a masochist
Help is hazardous
That's the reason I never ask for it
Cause when I asked for it
They just simply gave me their ass to kiss
Though I'm pass the shit
You should know I'm far from a pacifist
If you ask for it
You should know, I'll be quick to pass a fist
Not on no savage shit
But about my respect I'm adament
The flow, that's that water boy
No Adam Sandler shit
Tried to box him in, but they can't contain him with walls
Similar to Weapon X, but no adamantium claws
Whole team could've won, they just had to give him the ball
And I'm used to falling' out, I'm just mad that it's wit' my dawg
And, as I add to my catalog
I think about the journey and people that tagged along
Bout how I got it right, after times that I had it wrong
Now I'm working twice as hard, people think he got him a clone
I just wanna get rich, retire, sit in my rocking' chair
They just want the credit for being the one that got us here
Huh, It's a funny thing isn't it
Niggaz rather be the star than to see their team winnin'
(Talking)
The sky's the limit
The vibe I feel it
The ride is endless
I the picture, the vision inside my mind is vivid
I tried to split it
Was even telling my guys, lets get it
But nah, I get it
Some niggaz switched and the vibe is different
They shining too, but they'd rather mine
Cause my shine is different
I'd be a lie, if I said it never divided niggaz
I defied the critics
And told em' to never mind the gimmicks
Must you be reminded when rhyming,
That all of mine authentic
They call him gifted,
For keeping up what he calls tradition
Let you see it all,
Whether it be a flaw or blemish
See his thoughts is Different
And you could learn if you thought to listen
Trying to bring that realness back,
I see it's often missing
But, that's my journey,
If you ain't wit it it's fine
If you ain't tryin' to work
Then I'll let you sit and recline
The doubts I once had
I left all that shit behind
Now this little light of mine,
I'm finna let it shine
