The Message

THEY WANNA KNOW HOW I KEEP STRONG
COLD NIGHTS, KEEP WARM
HIGH WITH THE LEVEL THAT YALL CANT NEVER BE ON
WELL, I BE ON.. THE ST..A.G.E THAT'S WERE I PERFORM
HATERS BETTER BE GONE.. I LAY IT UP, NO BLOCKING CALLED
I PICK MY OPTION LIKE THE STOCK INVOLVED; LISTEN..
I WAS A YOUNG BOY, THEY STILL COULDNT STOP ME
RUNNING UP THEM STEPS.. REAL HUNGRY CALL ME ROCKY
I COULD DROP A CURSE IN MY LINES BUT THE MANNER BE
RESPECT AND SKILLS.. DON'T HAVE TO USE PROFANITY
HA, I SQUEZZE DUDES.. A PHYTON.. WHEN THE FIGHTS ON
WHEN IT COMES TO STYLES THEY BITE, I CALL EM TYSON
MOVE HOT, I COULD TOUCH SATAN
YA FLOW COLD, LIKE A WINTER IN ALASKA AND YOU BUTT
NAKED
YOU JUST STARVIN, YOU MARVIN THIS EVENING
MR. DRY CLEANER, ANYTIME I COULD GET THE STEAMING
I BEEN TALKED THE BIZ.. TO ME IT WASN'T EVEN
STAYING IN CONTACT, CHANGING IT UP THROUGH OUT THE
SEASON
NOW IM ON SOME KILLER STATIS GOT A YOUNGIN HEATED
EVEN FORESIC FILES COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE REASON
I DRIVE CLOSE, THEN I POP AND GO
DRAW CROWDS NOT IN ARTIST MODE.. IM A ARTIST THOUGH
I MOVE, I PUSH; IM TRYNA GET THEM DOLLARS AT ME
WITH SWEET 16'S MTV, JUST HOLLA AT ME
THE HOUSE I RUN IT, MY WORLD IS REAL...
I WAS CLIMBING UP THE HILLS, AND GOT SCRAED FOR REAL;
CHILL
BEFORE I MOVE FAST; THEY CLAIM
THE INDUSRUYS MY LAST STOP.. IM THE A TRAIN
A BACKWARDS FLOW, IM BACK FOR DOE

IF IT'S A MONEY RACE IMMA BE THE FIRST PAID
ILL GIVE YOU A HEAD START, NOW YOU UP IN 1ST GRADE
IM DOING EVERYTHING, TRYNA GET HELLA CHANGE
KEEPING RHODEISLAND ON THE LEFT LIKE A WEDDING RING
I BEEN SPITTING THE FLOWS SINCE I WAS YAY TALL
BATTLING IN CYPHERS, WHEN CATS WANTED TO PLAY BALL
OUT IN CENTRAL FALLS DOG, NEAR THE BUGER KING
HEGGISON PARK IS REALLY WHERE I USE TO MURDER THINGS
OUT IN JOHN STREET GETTING IT ON... WAS IN CF
ALTHOUGH PAWTUCKET REALLY WAS HOME
GOT EM SAYING THAT I CHANGED; IM JUST A LITTLE BIGGER
FAM
STILL WILL CHANGE CLOTHES, JUST TO PLAY WITH MY NIGGAS
MAN
FUNNY HOW THEM DUDES SAYING THAT I CHANGED UP
SAME COWARDS THAT WAS HATING WHEN I CAME UP
MY HOMIE RICKY.. NOW HE LABELED AS A POPS
MY BIG BRO SHANE GOT IN TROUBLE NOW HE LOCKED
EVEN HATERS IN MY HOMETOWN, WISHING THAT I STOPPED
I NEVER HAD A BUZZ, AND I REALLY DIDN'T POP
HA, THOUGH IM IN HOMESCHOOL.. I STAY IN THE PUBLIC EYE
I WAS 13 IN 05 WHEN MY UNCLE DIED..
STILL DUDES RIDE AROUND LIKE NOTHING HAPPEN
I KEEP IT POSITIVE AND GO HARD WITH THE RAPPING
WINNING WHEN I SMACK DOWN LIKE ITS DIMINOS
BEEN AVOIVED THE TRAPS ALONG TIME AGO
I AINT GOING OUT SHOT, THAT THE MAIN RULE
DIEING OVER A CHAIN AND LOOKING LIKE A DAMN FOOL
I GO OUT AS A YOUNG MAN WHO STAYED COOL
THAT GOT A FAM FULL OF HUSTLERS THAT PAID DUES
LIKE A DOG THEY BARKING WHEN THEY GONE BLAZE TOOLS
AINT SCARED TO RAISE FIST, THAT'S HOW THEY DO
I SWITCHED UP THE SONG MEANING ON MY SIDE
A INOCCENT MAN, FOR THOSE SAYING THAT I LIED
AND SAID THINGS WRONG.. KNOWING THAT IM GONE BUILD
FROM THE NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE JUST KEEPING IT REAL
(CHILL)

(TALKIING)
YEAH...THAT'S REAL.... YOU KNOW
SOMETIMES I JUST FEEL I GOT TO GET A COUPLE THINGS OFF
MY CHEST
JUST BEING HONEST WITH MYSELF AND THE WORLD...
YOU KNOW, I GO THROUGH A LOT, BEEN THROUGH A LOT
STILL GOING THROUGH A LOT... BUT
IT IS WHAT IT IS............... 1
