I gave you volume after volume of my work so you can feel my truths
What you gonna box me, homie, I can dodge and jab
He ain't just rappin' for the platinum you all record, I recall
Between him doin' heroin and me doin' crack sales
Way beyond a reasonable doubt, you all can't fill my shoes
I built the dynasty by being one of the realest niggas out
Through my hard knock life time, my gift and the curse
Way beyond a reasonable doubt, you all can't fill my shoes
If skills sold, truth be told, I'd probably be lyricly Talib Kweli
Through my hard knock life time, my gift and the curse
Listen close you hear what I'm about, nigga feel my truths
From my blueprint beginnings to that black album endin'
From my blueprint beginnings to that black album endin'
Listen close you hear what I'm about, nigga feel my truths
Just know my mind is workin' just like them, the rims that is
This moment of honesty, the world'll feel my truths
I gave you volume after volume of my work so you can feel my truths
And the whole BK, nigga holla back
Four scores and seven years ago, prepared to flow, prepare for war
And you been hustlin' since your inception, fuck perception
So pop I forgive you for all the shit that I live through
And I can't help the poor if I'm one of them
This moment of honesty, the world'll feel my truths
I shall fear no man, you don't hear me though
Listen close you hear what I'm about, nigga feel my truths
We as rappers must decide what's most important
Thank God for grantin' me this moment of clarity
And to the same game I fault that Uncle Ray lost
From my blueprint beginnings to that black album endin'
Yo, my balls and my word is all's I have
The music business hate me 'cause the industry ain't make me
Way beyond a reasonable doubt, you all can't fill my shoes
Through my hard knock life time, my gift and the curse
I built the dynasty by being one of the realest niggas out
'Cause I really been there before
My homie Sigel's on a tier where no tears should fall
See in my inner circle all we do is ball
I dumb down for my audience and double my dollars
Go with what makes sense since I know what I'm up against
So I got rich and gave back to me that's the win, win
What you gonna do to me, nigga scars'll scab
With that in the egg shell standin' at the tabernacle
I gave you volume after volume of my work so you can feel my truths
Talk and re-meet each other, save a place in Heaven
Till the next time we meet forever
So a smirk was all on my face
I built the dynasty by being one of the realest niggas out
Till we all got triangles on our wall
I'm just glad we got to see each other
Thank God for grantin' me this moment of clarity
This moment of honesty, the world'll feel my truths
But I did five mil, I ain't been rhymin' like common since
When your sense got that much in common
Through my hard knock life time, my gift and the curse
I'm strong enough to carry Biggie Smalls on my back
From my blueprint beginnings to that black album endin'
Rather the church pretendin to be hurt, wouldn't work
So the next time you see the homie and his rims spin
Three shots couldn't touch me, thank god for that
In one ear out the other ear, no
This moment of honesty, the world'll feel my truths
I gave you volume after volume of my work so you can feel my truths
Truthfully, I wanna rhyme like common sense
My big brothers and so many others I saw
Way beyond a reasonable doubt, you all can't fill my shoes
These words ain't just paired to go
Hustlers and boosters embrace me and the music I be makin'
'Cause he was on the block where no squares get off
Thank God for grantin' me this moment of clarity
They criticize me for it yet they all yell, "Holla"
Like damn that mans face is just like my face
It wasn't all your fault, homie you got caught
When pop died, didn't cry, didn't know him that well
Thank God for grantin' me this moment of clarity
I built the dynasty by being one of the realest niggas out
