1
Turn the music up turn the lights down I'm in my zone
2
[Chorus]
3
Thank God for granting me this moment of clarity, this moment of honesty
4
The world'll feel my truths through my "Hard Knock Life" time my gift and a curse
5
I gave you volume after volume of my work so you can feel my truths
6
I built the Dynasty by being one of the realest niggas out
7
Way beyond a Reasonable Doubt (Y'all can't fill my shoes)
8
From my Blueprint beginnings 'til that Black Album ending
9
Listen close you hear what I'm about, nigga feel my truths
10
When pop died, didn't cry, didn't know him that well
11
Between him doing heroin and me doing crack sales
12
With that in the egg shell standing at the tabernacle
13
Rather the church pretending to be hurt
14
Wouldn't work so a smirk was all on my face
15
Like damn that mans face was just like my face
16
So pop I forgive you for all the shit that I live through
17
It wasn't all your fault homie you got caught
18
And to the same game I fault that Uncle Ray lost
19
My big brothers and so many others I saw
20
I'm just glad we got to see each other
21
Talk and re-meet each other save a place in Heaven
22
Til the next time we meet forever
23
Thank God for granting me this moment of clarity, this moment of honesty
24
The world'll feel my truths through my "Hard Knock Life" time my gift and a curse
25
I gave you volume after volume of my work so you can feel my truths
26
I built the Dynasty by being one of the realest niggas out
27
Way beyond a Reasonable Doubt (Y'all can't fill my shoes)
28
From my Blueprint beginnings 'til that Black Album ending
29
Listen close you hear what I'm about, nigga feel my truths
30
The music business hate me 'cause the industry ain't make me
31
Hustlers and boosters embrace me and the music I be making
32
I dumb down for my audience and double my dollars
33
They criticize me for it yet they all yell "Holla"
34
If skills sold truth be told
35
I'd probably be lyrically Talib Kweli
36
Truthfully I want to rhyme like Common Sense (But I did five Mil)
37
I ain't been rhyming like Common since
38
When your sense got that much in common
39
And you been hustling since, your inception, fuck perception
40
Go with what makes sense
41
Since I know what I'm up against
42
We as rappers must decide what's most important
43
And I can't help the poor if I'm one of them
44
So I got rich and gave back to me that's the win, win
45
The next time you see the homie and his rims spin
46
Just know my mind is working just like them (The rims that is)
47
Thank God for granting me this moment of clarity, this moment of honesty
48
The world'll feel my truths through my "Hard Knock Life" time my gift and a curse
49
I gave you volume after volume of my work so you can feel my truths
50
I built the Dynasty by being one of the realest niggas out
51
Way beyond a Reasonable Doubt (Y'all can't fill my shoes)
52
From my Blueprint beginnings 'til that Black Album ending
53
Listen close you hear what I'm about, nigga feel my truths
54
My homie Sigel's on a tier where no tears should fall
55
'Cause he was on the block where no squares get off
56
See in my inner circle all we do is ball
57
'Til we all got triangles on our wall
58
He ain't just rapping for the platinum, y'all record
59
I recall, 'cause I really been there before
60
Four scores and seven years ago prepared to flow prepare for war
61
I shall fear no man you don't hear me though
62
These words ain't just paired to go in one ear out the other ear, no
63
Yo, my balls and my word is all's I have
64
What you gonna do to me? Nigga scars'll scab
65
What you gonna box me homie? I can dodge and jab
66
Three shots couldn't touch me thank God for that
67
I'm strong enough to carry Biggie Smalls on my back
68
And the whole BK nigga holla back
69
Thank God for granting me this moment of clarity, this moment of honesty
70
The world'll feel my truths through my "Hard Knock Life" time my gift and a curse
71
I gave you volume after volume of my work so you can feel my truths
72
I built the Dynasty by being one of the realest niggas out
73
Way beyond a Reasonable Doubt (Y'all can't fill my shoes)
74
From my Blueprint beginnings 'til that Black Album ending
75
Listen close you hear what I'm about, nigga feel my truths
