I did not come here to show out, did not come here to impress you

Because to tell you the truth when I leave here I'm GONE!
28
And I don't care WHAT you think about me - but just remember,
29
when it hits the fan brother, whether it's next year, ten years,
30
twenty years from now, you'll never be able to say

Nigga I get mine - by any means on whenever there's a drought

Get your umbrellas out because, that's when I brainstorm

You can blame Shawn, but I ain't invent the game

I just rolled the dice, tryin to get some change

And I do it twice, ain't no sense in me
42
lyin as if, I am a different man
43
And I could blame my environment but

Hope you don't think users are the only abusers niggaz
46
Gettin high within the game

I'm ten years removed, still the vibe is in my veins
49
I got a hustler spirit, nigga period
50
Check out my hat yo, peep the way I wear it
51
Check out my swag' yo, I walk like a ballplayer
52
No matter where you go, you are what you are player
53
And you can try to change but that's just the top layer
54
Man, you was who you was 'fore you got here
55
Only God can judge me, so I'm gone
56
Either love me, or leave me alone
