As you may have noticed, I'm the best here
How's it feel to fail and always have to claim Next Year?
Legend yeah I set a precedent no one steps near
And I was only giving ten percent cuz of Crest Beer
I'm on stage wildin' out while your ex cheer
But you can find me anywhere the mics and the checks clear
Red Deer to Tennessee, Iceland to Chechnya
Or presently between your right and your left ear
Live and in-stereo, got enemies I barely know
Friends like 'Where you been?', Broads like 'Where'd he go?'
The kid's now Top 5 like Rosario
Squad-wise, if they ain't got mines, they don't scare me so
Let's lay off the threats, hombre
Cuz you don't wanna have to wear a vest all day
Y'all can say what you want but where I'm from there's no chatter
And the ones that love to talk are the ones that don't matter
Grab a seat and try to focus, the reason I'm the dopest
Is cause I don't spend my time convincing people I'm in showbiz
I just kick a rhyme and come unique with my approaches
If you don't feel it, fine. I had no feeling when I wrote this
R.I.P to my opponents, tell me how the dirt taste
Shoulda known not to f*ck with me in the first place
Worst case scenario is I'm the one that dies
And that's a Win-Win situation in my eyes
Boy, you're dealing with a psycho
Ain't no telling where it might go
Got enough personalities to fill up the Tonight Show
Doctors say it's stress, they can chill with their advice though
I been conducting thangs in this building since Maestro
Way before my name ever came into play
When Chuck D & Flav finished paving the way
I swore that I was Slick, wore a chain everyday
Saw the game go to Kane then Kane into Dre
Then Dre into Biggie and Jay into Diddy
Then Diddy into Andre and Shady to Fiddy
Fiddy into Kanye, Kanye to Drizzy
I was right here putting on for my city
Going hard on the kidney extra foolish on the liver
Faded like I'm laid out next to Brutus with a scissor
Look the truth is I'm a prisoner of my thoughts and the scotch
Helps the misery that occupies my brain taper off
So I wash away the blues with a bit of Double Black
And push it to a limit where there is no coming back
Shit, I coulda went to to Princeton if the mission wasn't rap
And gotten rid of this addiction but where's the fun in that?
I'm a cap-twister, Jack lifter, 6 pack practitioner
At risk to snap if ya staff wish to nap with ya
Bring them to the guy that'll drink a year supply
Worth of rye and send 'em to that kingdom in the sky
Say g'bye to your mans bruh, the phoneys on camera
The corner boys pretending that they're Tony Montana
The tough talking trolls who'll never go beyond slander
And them hoes focused solely on glamour
We at a crossroads, watch those 'bout to swerve out their lanes
One hit and they'll be on a curb counting change
Turns out the fame fades fast and the cash gets buried in the ash, when you burn down in flames
I'm just heard round the ways, they refuse to let me shine
But anywhere you move's already mine
The minute I decide to show & prove's the minute you get left behind
And you know I can do it cuz I do it every time
