Lyrics
VERSE1
SEE MYSELF AS A YOUTH I HAD NO MONEY
THAT'S MY WORD SEE THE TRUTH MY DAYS WEREN'T SUNNY
OVER MY SOUL IS THE DARK SIDE OF THE FORCE
HOSTILE TAKE OVER
THAT MIGHT CHANGE THE LIFE COURSE
I'M FEELIN TEMPTATION TO BECOME A HUSTLER
WITH NO HESITATION I'LL TRAVEL THE ROUTE
THAT'S ABOUT TO CARRY ME OUT THE PAPER DROUGHT
AND BRING SOME CASH FLOW UPWARD LIKE THE NILE
RIGHT NOW I LIVE IN THE DESERT I'M NOT IN DENYLE
I WALK THE DRY SAND KNEE DEEP IN THE PILE
THE SUN DID SHINE MY WAY BUT I HATED THE WEATHER
WANNA SIT UP IN A CANDY LAC BACK TO THE LEATHER
CAN I LIVE WITH THE IMPRINTS OF VIALS IN THE CRACKS
OF MY PALM
OR THE WHITE THAT LEADS TO TRACKS IN YOUR ARMS
ILLUSION IT'S HEAT EXAUSTION FROM CARRYING THE GAT
FUCK THAT REALITY USE YOUR TALENT OF RAP
WAS THAT THOUGHTS BACK THEN, THE OLD TIMES WHEN
I WAS YOUNG AND DREAMIN NOW I'M OLD AND SCREAMING
HOW CAN I REACH MY GOAL THE PURPOUS OF MY ROLE
AIM A TARGET AND HIT WATCH INNOCENT BYSTANDARDS
I RISE WANNA HANG HOLD ON TIGHT CALL ME CLIFF
NEED SOME HELP ROLL YOURSELF A SPLIFF
NO DENYING I ALSO DO GET HIGH
I'M FLOATING GRAVITY I DEFY
CHORUS
4X
RISIN'
REACH THE SKY AND
HOT BLAZIN
MAKE SHIT THAT'S HIPNOTIZIN
VERSE 2
ADVERSARIES STAY CLEAR I'M GAINING MOMENTUM
PREMONIIONS SHOWS YOUR FEAR
HIT YOU HARDER THEN A MAGNUM
SOUNDS SO LOUD OTHER BUROUGHS COULD HEAR
RISE FROM THE BOTTOM I CAPITALIZE ON ERRORS
TOO SLOW I SHIFT TO FIFTH
WHILE YOU STILL ON THIRD GEAR
MAKE THE RHYMES CONNECT LIKE A MODEM
HATERS SAY GOING GOLD I WON'T COME NEAR
WELL I'M CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO FATHOM GOING PLATNUM
SHIT A NIGGA WORTH DIAMONDS LIKE DEBURS
PEEPS WANNA STICK ME UP AND SCREAM I GOTTA HIM
AHH YOU KNOW WHAT I EXPECT THE HATERS IN A CORNER EAVESDROPPIN WHATCHIN ME LIKE SPECTATORS
THOSE THAT DO NOTHING
CRITIZISE THOSE THAT DO SOMETHING
FROTTIN LIKE I AIN'T GOT THEY SOUND SYSTEM THUMPIN
OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE THE WORDS I REGURGITATE
IT'S IN HOODS EVERYDAY WHILE NIGGAS CIRCULATE
CHORUS
8X
