Slick J - I Am

Player exclusives they be touching the pavement
When I step up in the booth i get to making a statement
You see I am the truth
And I don't got no replacement
Man we talking Faceless faces they don't know where his face went
They be casing places they gon take his soul out the casement
How the fuck I know an addict who still stuck in the basement
They said the past is alive I just don't know where it's grave went
And the present is a gift of the futures amazement
You see life's a conundrum that I've been seeking to solve
And those drugs are the demons that you shouldn't involve
On the phone with the devil man you shouldn't have called
You gon stoop to his level and still feel no resolve
If you roll with the cycle you gon feel it revolve
Why don't you hand that fool a flower and just watch it dissolve
Watch all your problems evolve into much greater things
Making deals and shaking hands man it ain't what it seems
Who do you think you are?
I fucking am!
Do this shit because I can
I done been through hell and back I'm feeling like the fucking man
I done took so many losses doubt you'll ever understand
I'm just tryna see the light live life just like my momma planned
These problems that surround me tryna drown me I can't go for that
Spit this shit profoundly can't confound me I'm too grown for that
Haters tryna clown me tryna ground me but I'm over that
Take this shit past the boundary for the bounty do the most for that
Wake up in the morning feeling empty it ain't nothing new
But I'm glad God woke me up cause that mean I got something to do
Life and death are obstacles
Spit knowledge through your ossicles
To be or not to be
But I am so I don't gotta choose
This is for them nights when I was crying in my sleep
Man this for the long nights when I was writing to a beat
For them old summer nights was riding bikes up in the street
Nowadays I'm rocking mics with player exclusives on my feet
I'm way above the ceiling painting pictures on the floor
Blowing smoke into the sky I want y'all to smell the dro
I'm Always asking why? I don't think anybody know
Don't worry ima say bye whenever I gotta go
Life ain't a movie it's a show tryna make it through the seasons
School during the week and then I'm working on the weekends
Dealing with these serpents and these motherfucking heathens
I'm tryna beat the odds so I'm out here gettin even
Been a long 8 years that I've had the fucking blues
3 days after Christmas I was rocking expensive shoes
I was playing gta when I had got the fucking news
My dad left this earth along with the fucking clues
Waking up the next morning everybody is confused
Did all that really happen or was it all just a rooze
Jonny's dope smoking rapping he gon' drown the pain in booze
You want to win or lose?
Which one
Would you choose?
You see that's a trick question
Life's a riddle keep guessing
Talk too much and start fessing
Overthink and keep stressing
Weight on my shoulders keep pressing
Hard times teach lessons and reveal blessings
And they also make bosses
Want to win then take losses
Real demons fake crosses
All you fucking fake mothafuckas making me nauseous
I'm not a fucking rapper I'm a mothafucking artist
And when you mention me just know that I'm the hardest regardless
And ima take this shit the farthest
Who do you think you are?
I fucking am!
Do this shit because I can
I done been through hell and back I'm feeling like the fucking man
I done took so many losses doubt you'll ever understand
I'm just tryna see the light live life just like my momma planned
These problems that surround me tryna drown me I can't go for that
Spit this shit profoundly can't confound me I'm too grown for that
Haters tryna clown me tryna ground me but I'm over that
I'm way above the ceiling painting pictures on the floor
Blowing smoke into the sky I want y'all to smell the dro
I'm always asking why? I don't think anybody know
Don't worry ima say bye whenever I gotta go
Life ain't a movie it's a show tryna make it through the seasons
School during the week and then I'm working on the weekends
Dealing with these serpents and these motherfucking heathens
I'm tryna beat the odds so I'm out here gettin even
