Composed by:Jermaine Cole
Produced by:Kanye West
That was the warm-up that was the warm-up baby
A'ight Elite for real one take dog and I'm up outta here
One yup
Yeah
Lord please forgive me for my sinnin'
I ain't sayin' that I'm finished but I'm prayin' in advance
'Cause the way her eyes glance like they playin' in my pants
Yeah ball game I swear the h*es wasn't in my plans
When a **** took a chance and came to the big city
My beat machine the only ******* thing I had with me
Like Bobby had Whitney we was cookin' up crack
But them fifteen credits had a **** off track
Picture that best rapper since Lil' Wayne in classes
The best bachelor since Bruce Wayne with his bachelor's
But mastered this rap ****
You hear the words comin' from my lips bastards
I never crack I got that chapstick
I practiced till that **** made perfect
And served it to the people on a silver platter
Now where's the ladder?
'Cause either you gon' whine or you climb I chose the latter
Know you haters is pissed hold your bladder though
'Fore you get tossed like a forward lateral
We never tattle let God handle that or let the mob handle that
No Soprano half Black half white I'm a piano
I'm an animal my video on Discovery Channel I'm a beast
When my **** hits the streets these **** cease to exist
Like a beach in a tsunami
You'll find me in the Ville in the state of NC
***** if I ain't back home
I'm up in NYC 'bout that money probably
Like a ******* robbery but I ain't jackin'
I'm chasin' dreams sort of like jeans boy I ain't slackin'
I'm chasin' dreams sort of like jeans boy I ain't slackin'
Hey take a hard look at my drive **** no hackin' on my ****
I'm straight smackin' **** straight taggin' ****
Yo I'm freestylin' **** y'all ****
Y'all be wildin' and I'm out
