Pound Cake (Remastered)

I've been up for days
It ain't hard to stay awake
You ain't nothing like MJ
You just don't fade away
If you saw what I've been through I bet you'd be amazed
Got so many bars I bet that I could build a cage
Say she know me from way back in the day
You don't know me no more, that ain't the present wave
Presently presented a Socratic method
Invent a new mechanic then other rappers indebted
I bet my flows oppressive a mix of swag and aggressive
Regress into a state of depression like where's my blessings?
I ain't Ponyboy
Got no time for outsiders
The loud choir inspired me to make some fire
In the heat of battle it ain't nothing but some words
She obsessed with swishe(r)s and shooting like Larry Bird

Men have tried, none have succeeded
Try it myself won't believe till I see it
But when I die just know it wasn't in vain
Many men have -
None have succeeded
Try it myself won't believe till I see it
But when I die just know it wasn't in vain

If I die
I won't die a liar
I won't be a traitor like Judas the crucifier
I just wanna live long enough to retire
Working till I'm old and my bones get cold and tired
Not an option really I just want to be free
Somethings controlling me I hope it's not corporate greed
I just know this isn't how I'd normally be
You fleed
You blood sucker
You vampire
You cold blooded
You rant writer
You damn tired of man and can't admire the plan
The fantasy that we wired
Now I'm all fired up
Wait a minute-
If I give you that I bet you wouldn't stay a minute
Say that you were right and I was wrong
And how I made it finished
I diminished the chances of living with you
Bipolar-oid why don't you take a picture?
It'll last longer than what I had with you

Men have tried, none have succeeded
I'll try it myself won't believe till I see it
But when I die just know it wasn't in vain
Many men have tried, none have succeeded
Try it myself won't believe till I see it
But when I die just know it wasn't in vain
