[ Featuring Skrizzly Adams ]
I came a, long way, from where I've been
Got a heavy load, they say, I've been carryin'
And I know, I'll have to answer, for all my sins
So I better, cash out, right now, before the walls close in
Yeah, I stole the game
Get away car on the open range
Grind it out sleet, snow or rain
Took ahold of pain, no Novocain
I'll show 'em plain, it's simpler
Broke it down with the written word
On how to strike when the iron's hot
And climb on top, then fire shots
When you get the urge
I flip a bird to the system
That fugitive
F*ck the world with no lubricant
Keep hatin' that's fuelin' this
Engine inside, with this pen of mine
To get these rhymes
Then in time, it got lucrative
Stuck 'em up and I doubled up
I'm one of one, with no duplicate
If that shoe will fit, then I'll throw 'em on
Run a motherf*ckin' marathon
Get the torch then I carry on
'Til it burns out, and it turns out
That it's still lit
Never goin' off
Here to make a scene 'til I'm hauled off
Burn bright 'til ain't nothin' left
But don't fall off
So tell 'em
I came a, long way, from where I've been
Got a heavy load, they say, I've been carryin'
And I know, I'll have to answer, for all my sins
So I better, cash out, right now, before the walls close in
Before the walls close in
Before the walls close in
I've had people that misleaded me
And treated me like I'm nothin'
Turn they back or they bet against me
It seem to me that they bluffin'
I kept winnin' and kept winnin'
And kept pushin' they buttons
I hit 'em over the head with it
Better check for concussions
I been crushin', I been rappin'
Enjoy it now 'cause ain't shit lastin'
Chip cashin', before I'm out
Then get the whiskey and pour a round
Outlaw to my downfall
Left lane and I'm speed racin'
With a dream that I've been chasin'
I keep chasin'
My seat facin' that limelight
Strike gold when that time write
Then bow out when that time's done
With my money and my mind right
Ain't it funny how the hindsight's always perfect
And the wounds heal on the surface
And the scar tissue, inside you, will define you
But it's worth it
Find your purpose, find what you love doin'
Find obstacles and then run through 'em
Make somethin' stick, and then un-glue 'em
Then re-glue 'em, just keep movin'
And see, through all of your enemies
And feed the fire with intensity
Just look at me, independently
I pulled off the heist off the century
I came a, long way, from where I've been
Got a heavy load, they say, I've been carryin'
And I know, I'll have to answer, for all my sins
So I better, cash out, right now, before the walls close in
Before the walls close in
Before the walls close in
