Yeah, Renegades is back
2
Em the B the sick
3
It's Young, Freeway, 8 Miles, let's go
4
8 miles and running, got my 7th album droppin'
5
And my 8th album comin', feedin' a thousand growlin' stomachs
6
But I can rewind the calendar back, back when it was now or nothin'
7
People said I would amount to nothin' that I had talent for nothin'
8
Said I would succumb to violence or be silenced by your gunmen
9
I could just hear the folks now, "He got what he had coming"
10
Now that my eighth album's comin' everybody's smilin'
11
Wantin' something, claimin' that they done something for him
12
Got their Jay-Z pom poms and their whole uniform
13
Claimin' they been runnin' and tellin' everybody like Martin Lawrence
14
'Bout how hot my rap performance was before I was who I was
15
Claimin' that they threw it up before I threw it up
16
You what? Where was you before I blew this up?
17
I didn't see you in the courtroom when everybody was suin' us
18
I didn't see you in all black when everybody was suitin' up
19
Back on the block, gettin' it in, there wasn't no you with us
20
8 miles and runnin', got my 7th album droppin'
21
And my 8th album comin', feedin' a thousand growlin' stomachs, Free
22
6 miles and runnin', got my fist strip poppin'
23
And my first album comin', feedin' twenty growlin' stomachs
24
8 miles and runnin', got my 7th album droppin'
25
And my 8th album comin', feedin' a thousand growlin' stomachs, Free
26
6 miles and runnin', got my fist strip poppin'
27
And my first album comin', feedin' twenty growlin' stomachs
28
6 miles and running in the Pontiac, six thousand eighty six, trans
29
Might shift while the engine run
30
Anyone tell ya rider give me one more chance
31
Hear them smokers screamin' one more gram so I'ma bring 'em one
32
Homie, son, and my pop, stick close to my momma
33
Keep toasters for drama, mix a lot with my son
34
My son growin' and he learnin' a lot
35
That's when them toasters will the burners will pop, brain on ya own
36
Well, a nigga, tell 'em niggas that's like the biblical scripture
37
Look back, turn assault like the sin is in
38
Most of ya heartless and self-centered like
39
Me Shaq and me Shaq
40
Set up ya brother 'cuz you jealous nigga, the heat back
41
Like you never left, I ever rep, cops watch every step
42
Six miles and running dodgin' every trap, the rap gingerbread man
43
Cheer us up, you precious breath, State P the second attack
44
8 miles and runnin', got my 7th album droppin'
45
And my 8th album comin', feedin' a thousand growlin' stomachs, Free
46
6 miles and runnin', got my fist strip poppin'
47
And my first album comin', feedin' twenty growlin' stomachs
48
8 miles and runnin', got my 7th album droppin'
49
And my 8th album comin', feedin' a thousand growlin' stomachs, Free
50
6 miles and runnin', got my fist strip poppin'
51
And my first album comin', feedin' twenty growlin' stomachs
52
Back when nobody would found he had talent, nobody would sign me
53
Nobody believed in me, nobody but mommy blindly
54
But how can she deny me? Me being the youngest runt
55
To come up outta her tummy, she got nothin' but love for me
56
When niggas would want me, the industry shunned me
57
That's why I'm takin' all the industry's money, revenge is sweet honey
58
We run this, Young is the illest, Free is the future
59
Bean's and Bleek is right now, we can see our 8 miles nigga
60
8 miles and runnin', got my 7th album droppin'

63
And my first album comin', feedin' twenty growlin' stomachs
64
8 miles and runnin', got my 7th album droppin'
65
And my 8th album comin', feedin' a thousand growlin' stomachs, Free
66
6 miles and runnin', got my fist strip poppin'
