Going off, going off
Going off
Hey, oh yeah (going off)
Forgive me, I'm goin' off
For all the non-believers who were there when I started off
Ever since I made it, I ain't hear not a word from y'all
I know that you pray, I fall
You need a new prayer, dawg
That's why I be going off
Forgive me, I'm going off
Fifty thousand for the night and I might just blow it all
She riding with me for the night and I might just show her off
They know when I arrive that I make the city small
Yeah, yeah
Two and two, yeah
Acknowledgment without the accolades
Still, I celebrate
'Cause any day could be the last time I hear this record play
My heart is in a better place
My mind is in a different state
So I don't even care how much the records made
How many lives can this record save?
How many minds can it liberate?
Feeling like I'm liable to make a change
Here I stand, center stage
As I take a leap of faith
I let the music lead the way
All that passion I put in the game
All that credit that I never claim
Yet I'm still amazed at how they're always finding ways
To slander my name
Life is a gamble, but
Like old people at casinos dawg, I'm here to stay
They know when I arrive that I make the city small
Two and two, yeah
This shit ain't a hobby, it's a lifestyle
Niggas will tell you likewise
I say niggas, referring mostly to my guys
Nothing like those humble days when all I was to you
Is just nothing more than a lifeline
Niggas think they're brave enough to take mine
I ain't never been the type to take five
Especially when I'm behind enemy lines in position
Minding my own business but niggas keep sniffing
Impersonating a K9
I keep telling my mother that I'ma make time
Great things take time
I'm on a mission
Total demolition
World domination
Operation: fuck the system
Niggas know we ain't kiddin' this side
Niggas know ain't nothing killing the spirit this time, nigga
Just keep that in mind
A nigga like me keeps getting harder to find
Told her a nigga like me keeps getting harder to find
They know when I arrive that I make the city small
Watch them hating, praying for my downfall
Niggas catching feelings 'cause they know I walk tall
They know when I arrive that I make the city small
Watch them hating, praying for my downfall
Niggas catching feelings 'cause they know I walk tall
'Cause everyday feels so right
Is it really so hard to believe?
Your clothes are different, the plugs in your arms and head are gone
Your hair has changed, your appearance now is what we call: "Residual self-image"
Yeah, they tried to blackball me
But I'm still putting numbers on the boards
You boys are only known for shaving points
Like Paul on the longest yard
I know you ain't who you think you are
You a bad liar, stop trying hard
Quit talking like you got priors
You don't wanna start an uproar with the men I stand before
These niggas got pride like a group of lions
I'm in top form
They won't admit I'm killing it on every platform
You in the presence of a God, nigga
Hold your applause
If you gon' put your hands together
You might as well send a prayer to the lord
You hellbound, fucking with the boy
Going off
Hey, oh yeah (going off)
Forgive me, I'm goin' off
For all the non-believers who were there when I started off
Ever since I made it, I ain't hear not a word from y'all
I know that you pray, I fall
You need a new prayer, dawg
That's why I be going off
Forgive me, I'm going off
Fifty thousand for the night and I might just blow it all
