A Class Act

Whatever you think this is
We already know, we already know that that lead to destruction
But we gon' keep on anyway, we're gon' stay in here (see)
Because without us, it's nothing
You can't just do anything without
You can't move without us
You can't talk without us
You can't eat without us
You can't be without us

Never been a clout chaser
Even back when I was without paper
Labour from the time when I wake up 'til the daytime, 'til the sky turn grey
I make my way 'til the pinnacle, been a few benefits
Made me dinner too
Who could have thought the junk I sung would bang
Bump the romp and make me bank, aye

Storms me sometimes (sometimes)
Gotta be on guard as you rap towards ring sometimes (sometimes)
Van fleets sometimes (sometimes)
When I hate wake me up, I can't sleep sometimes (sometimes)
But then I remember these rappers can't eat sometimes (sometimes)
Because of how elite I rhyme (I rhyme)
I guess it's 'cause when you're the goat you forget about sheep sometimes

I forgive you and give you a pass
I wish you do less, but do what you do best
I've taken the bullets, so you can keep playing that Russian roulette
Space in my heart that I had for you
Now has a sign over it and that sign says "To let"
Next time you fuck with me, know that punishment is love
And I promise to love you 'til death (promise to love you 'til death)

Nothing in this game is surprising, it's just new editions (it's just new editions)
They try to evict the victorious 'til you show them that you vicious (show them that you vicious)
I'm not superstitious but I don't need none of you niggas around me no more
(None of you niggas around me no more)
And this expedition is brought to you by A-Q's road to perdition

What's the plan for a visioneer (yeah)
I just wanna be a billionaire (uh)
I just wanna be a billionaire
And it's so close, I feel it in the air
My competition still lives in fear (yeah, yeah)
My faith is not religion, it's corporate vision
My proposition is still in gear
Keep your plaques and your souvenirs

Lose yourself and you'd see me there
I'm a risk-taker, not a hit maker
Don't imitator, but I'm good with data
Scripting Java for CD sales, hard copies I still retail
Merchandise I would soon reveal
Record labels wanna see me fail 'cause I go against their blueprint (yeah)
Signing rappers with new ink
I'ma stay on track if it all derails (uh)

Never call me no celebrity (no)
I'm a hustler with integrity (yeah)
What I'm selling is not a remedy, it's a way out of uncertainty (yeah)
Doors closed up, I found the windows (uh-huh)
Traffic, hold up, I found a free road (uh)
I could start from zero and make it back
Ten years from now, boy play this back
No lies, told how I rose
It is God's engineering not my own

Navigated the game with one eye closed
From the slum, I rose, I compose
And if we going out then we got to go out spraying
I was on my knees and praying, amen
You can smell me, you can tell my fragrance
All about the green like grazing, craving
And I bleed bars, seen war, been scarred
Now I wanna see God

But I see fraud, false prophets and doctrines
Indoctrinated to your off-springs, white shirt with cuff-links
Wrestling in church rings, rape cases on a daily basis
Child abuse and I hate to say this, it happens in places that you say your graces
There'll be casualties when I leave
Parkinson's, Muhammed Ali
Life as a way of getting back at you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'll be waiting though, but until then the bakery is closed
