I'm in that Volvo, puffin' on that la-la
When you 10 years in, holla back then
You're about to experience someone so cold
Lunch with Mandela, dinner with Cavalli
Shootin' air balls at the basket
Nights I've felt like dyin', but I ain't cryin'
But give me a couple years and pray I'll never sin again
Took tunnel vision but he would soon become a mogul
Watchin' too many movies, bulletproof this
Nights I've felt like dyin', but I ain't cryin'
Like the street's made of quicksand, it's beyond deep
My life like Grant Theft Auto, PSP
Say hi to the bad guy, all my momma friends was like
Pops sped off, left Mom with a bundle of
Call me crazy, but strangely, I love the odds
They gunnin' for me, wanna see me fall
Turn the whole city on, I'm the new blood
Nights I've felt like dyin', but I ain't cryin'
Save me from the 'Black Parade', release me
Y'all rappin', I'm re-enactin'
You know my story, I've been through it all
CNN, you see, it's accurate
Had some nerve, like pullin' tooth'ses
Good Lord, good Lord, good Lord
You know my story, I've been through it all
Now I'm knee deep in the concrete
So now I dance with the Devil, please G O D
Now these baby ballers, toy rappers
Don't play with my yo-yo, loco niggas in the hood
They gunnin' for me, wanna see me fall
What didn't kill me, made me strong as iron
Gucci links in Gucci goose's
"Mmm, mmm, mmm, would you just look at him”
They gunnin' for me, wanna see me fall
Iron, iron, oh my God, Hov
Everybody, fall back
So sorry dear Momma for your embarrassment
First niggas hatin' on me, it's all good
And all these little rappers don't know
I got crowned king down in Africa
Iron, iron, oh my God, Hov
So if this is your first time hearin' this
Still got time to give water out to everybody
I'm feelin' like the world's against me, Lord
I'm buyin' things like my shit don't stink
Callin' out my name to bring the boy backwards
When you're 16, comin' through roofless
Joy, your boy smacked dab in the jungle
From the bottom to the top of the globe, they call me Hov
What didn't kill me, made me strong as iron
A journey seldom seen, the American Dream
What didn't kill me, made me strong as iron
Monday Nights, when the half ends
Iron, iron, oh my God, Hov
I got a Chemical Romance, two left feet
But first he brought that crack back like a yo-yo
ESPN, see me in action
Sold out shows out in Seoul, Korea
Duckin' from the po-po, every time I drive by
You know my story, I've been through it all
How prepared for them I am, I am
Got all these rival dealers tryin' to do me in
Yeah, your boy 'Ruthless' like Ice Cube was
Out in Niger, do you have any idea?
Jo'burg, Dublin, Tanzania
What you call money, I pay more in taxes
