Self Taught, Self Made, Self Paid

I talk to myself so don't wanna be didactic
Just don't understand why your teachin' is so drastic
Flyin' into the booth, had to spit so many bullshits
More than a lawyer when he speech for an accused mate
The only ones who can ever teach me are my Fool Team
I live preachers to Dusty cause I'm too mean
Call me Cell just because I wanna reach the perfect
Flawless, forecast, I need more tests

Far from bein' the nicest, filthy garments
Feelin' like and artist even if my lab was an apartment
I remember the time i spent just with my eyes open
Practice lookin' hard because I know what a scope is
I focus on the real shit instead of wastin' dough
Are y'all still thinkin' about a cd in a record store?
Stay bright stay clever, we got the first element
But mothafuckas never learn, so I take the benefits

Self taught self made self paid
Get mine get mine, you wanna be played?
Self taught self made self paid
Chillin' in the game as we get papes
Self taught self made self paid
Get mine get mine, you wanna be played?
Risin', shinin', the vibe never fade

Second stanza, circumstances
Taught me, provoke me to attack like a mantis
That's it, I had the revelation
As long as I get mine I got my speculation
First of all man I never warm the couch
That's why in the cypher even haters give me shouts
And if you ain't down with it, you will soon, plain and simple
Eat a dick mothafucka and get the swindle

I got skills made of plastic cause they're just quite useful
Don't let me burn in fire cause I'm gonna be pollution
I set it off like a mad, with a blast wreck
Hands in the air when the Vibe steps on the fuckin track
Understand what I got in mind? (Do you?)
Don't even try to guess cause every time it's surprise
Bad guides in the abstract, when I share my thoughts but
Keep a separation it's a must, I won't last long

Start back from the beginning, the Project is the keyword
Money stands levels I can kill for, I'm pissed off
I'm showin' all my love for the capital like Smith
Can feel fulfilled when I fill my pockets with the Gs
Maggots never learn, they be dreamin', watchin' ceilings
But I cut the sleepin', know the deal, for sure I'm still spinnin'
I bring it on to the Spot where I Rock from
I scheme with my dogs, I mean plans on the blackboard
Bein' scared of money is like bein' scared of pussy
Even if they both kill you, you must get through g
There's a thin line between relevant and stranded
Get yourself branded, I mean be independent
And fuck these lames, my crew is selective
Changed the perspective on who we disrespected
Rock the spot, the art of givin' a fuck
Because you like it or not, I'm still getting' my knot
