    • She's so precious with the peer pressure
      Couldn't afford a car so she named her daughter Alexus (a Lexus)
    • Man I promise, I'm so self conscious
      That's why you always see me with at least one of my watches

      But the people highest up got the lowest self esteem
    • The prettiest people do the ugliest things
      For the road to riches and diamond rings
    • And for that paper, look how low we a'stoop
      Even if you in a Benz, you still a n----- in a coop
    • Cause they make us hate ourself and love they wealth
      That's why shortys hollering "where the ballas' at?"
    • d--- dealer buy Jordans, crackhead buy crack
      And a white man get paid off of all of that
    • I got a problem with spending before I get it
      We all self conscious I'm just the first to admit it

      Oh now they love Kanye, let's put him all in the front of the store
    • God show me the way because the Devil trying to break me down
      The only thing that that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now

    • We at war with terrorism, racism, and most of all we at war with ourselves
    • Saying, "We eat pieces of s--- like you for breakfast."

    • That means guns, sex, lies, video tapes
      But if I talk about God my record won't get played Huh?
    • At the tender age of 6 she was arrested for the sit in
      With that in my blood I was born to be different
    • Now n----s can't make it to ballots to choose leadership
      But we can make it to Jacob and to the dealership
    • That's why I hear new music
      And I just don't be feeling it
      Racism still alive they just be concealing it
    • And I know that u were smiling when u see that car I bought her
      And u sent tears from heaven when u seen my car get balled up
    • That's why I get spiritual, but I get my hymns from Him
      So it's not me, it's He that's lyrical
    • I'm not a miracle, I'm a heaven-sent instrument
      My rhythmatic regimen navigates melodic notes for your soul and your mental
    • If I were of the highest cliff, on the highest riff
      And you slipped off the side and clinched on to your life in my grip
      I would never, ever let you down
    • That's why my breath is felt by the deaf
      And why my words are heard and confined to the ears of the blind
      I, too, dream in color and in rhyme
    • I just want to say since listenin' to Kanye's workout tape
      I been able to date outside the family
    • She got a light skinned friend look like Michael Jackson
      Got a dark skinned friend look like Michael Jackson
    • Told 'em I finished school, and I started my own business
      They say, 'Oh you graduated?'
      No, I decided I was finished
    • This n----- graduated at the top of my class.
      I went to Cheesecake, he was a motherfucking waiter there
    • Two words, United States, no love, no brakes
      Low brow, high stakes, crack smoke, black folks
      Big Macs, fat folks, ecstasy capsules

    • But he wasn't talking bout coke and birds it was more like spoken word
      Except he's really putting it down
    • Good dude, bad night, right place, wrong time
      In the blink of an eye his whole life changed
    • And I still won't grow up, I'm a grown a--- kid
      Swear I should be locked up for stupid s--- that I did
    • But I'm a champion, so I turned tragedy to triumph
      Make music that's fire, spit my soul through the wire
    • If he do a whole album, if his raps is wack at least we can throw Cam on every song and
      save the album
