But I can rewind the calendar back, back when it was now or nothin'

Said I would succumb to violence or be silenced by your gunmen

I could just hear the folks now, "He got what he had coming"
10
Now that my eighth album's comin' everybody's smilin'

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

You what? Where was you before I blew this up?

I didn't see you in the courtroom when everybody was suin' us

I didn't see you in all black when everybody was suitin' up

Back on the block, gettin' it in, there wasn't no you with us

My son growin' and he learnin' a lot
35
That's when them toasters will the burners will pop, brain on ya own

Well, a nigga, tell 'em niggas that's like the biblical scripture
37
Look back, turn assault like the sin is in

Me Shaq and me Shaq

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
