[00:12.685] Uh, back to reclaim my throne
[00:21.729] I’m the prince of the city, young Machiavelli
[00:23.861] Staged my own death, outwitted my adversaries
[00:26.612] From the land of Larry Hoover where they bury shooters
[00:28.977] I’m shining hard Stanley Kubrick
[00:31.281] We don’t live by the law
[00:32.302] Two-time felony charge, gun-toting
[00:34.537] Smoke 'em like Lamar, ball like a young Odom
[00:36.880] Where crack hit the Chi same year as Michael Jordan
[00:39.583] My trap phone got more rings than Robert Horry
[00:42.171] I got a story make Shakespeare say that’s tragic
[00:44.690] Speak my mind, I got a bad habit
[00:46.994] Became a hazard to my health like Corona to an asthmatic
[00:50.019] I Roc like the old Jay but I’m a backstabber
[00:53.417] Cause I un’d myself
[00:54.835] I got better shit on albums I shelfed than shit that you went platinum off
[00:57.834] Too fly for my own good, it’s my albatross
[01:00.504] I’m a beast boy, I just love to self-sabotage
[01:03.462] ***** *****s talking down, ****** monologue
[01:05.902] I ain’t running, but I’m tired of y’all
[01:08.206] I could call Farrakhan or I could get you tatted
[01:10.295] On the limbs of your friends
[01:12.163] Have 'em crying like Kavanaugh
[01:13.524] Back on my bully, don’t be a matador
[01:15.037] This ain’t no red flag
[01:16.179] Shooters in red rags
[01:17.463] Looters in Hermes
[01:18.730] Mask on you, still see I’m the future
[01:20.787] But I had to learn not to judge a man by his past
[01:23.215] So that’s all I ask
[01:24.662] Uh, young Machiavelli
[01:30.062] Still alive across the belly
[01:35.093] Lemme get it back
[01:44.704] Lake Shore Drive with the top back
[01:46.057] Rocking Y Project
[01:47.305] With my ride or die bitch
[01:48.630] ***** where The Lox at
[01:49.949] Had so many conflicts
[01:51.291] That shit got crucial
[01:52.446] I was really fighting for freedom like Desmond Tutu
[01:54.903] Shit is like apartheid
[01:56.375] If you see the South Side
[01:57.713] No upward mobility
[01:59.060] That got *****s paralyzed
[02:00.385] Paper Planes snapback
[02:01.832] Shout to Em and Ty Ty
[02:03.176] Yeah I did a rock album
[02:04.559] That’s cause I’m a rock star
[02:05.901] I’m from where the moes push rocks like the tomb of Jesus
[02:08.588] To put new 22’s on they coupe
[02:10.771] Selling D, ducking 12
[02:12.364] Undercovers looking for proof
[02:14.028] I push off the roof like Bishop in Juice
[02:16.550] A window in my reality
[02:18.432] Two-parent household from an immigrant family
[02:20.571] Middle-class salaries
[02:22.236] On 47th Street by the stones
[02:24.482] Where they move white out the house same block as Obama’s home
[02:27.157] Uh, born alone, die alone it’s still Save Money
[02:29.706] I take that to the grave with me
[02:32.185] The game’s funny
[02:33.265] A ***** went from robbing in the hood
[02:35.252] To the Robin Hood of Inglewood
