In a cesspool of greed and vanity fiends
In search of success in the city where insanity breed
I sow seeds my soul bleeds beyond the smoke screen
Cold feet stroking my ego until I O.D
Codeine fixes juggling a queen and mistress
The king of mischief I'm cursed just for being gifted
Friendship and business it gets harder just to tell the difference
Some adopt a victim mentality and they get vindictive
Loads of women sending nudes and acting loose
And there's attraction big titties and asses that affect my mood
Gotta a Buddha master not to give in
Super human shit as if my dick was never winning
Smiles and gimmicks when they meet ya they wanna feature
Remember when I used to be ignored right by speaker?
Reality can change quick overnight ya name is lit
Face the music, if it's my fate I'm not afraid of it
Caught yourself a break now you winning
Now they looking at you different
Got yourself together you in business
Now they looking at you different
Got it popping accosted by pretty women
Now they looking at you different
Videos playing on television
Now they looking at you different
Life of a rapper rising, posters and advertisements
Backstage table flooded with some appetizers
Promoters and the owners love it, I'm so accustomed
Showing out in public like "yo f*ck it"
That's in my cards, get em to send a car
Coming back with Po she telling me get in the car
Turning off G.P.S. locations and notifications
Underground secret poker games inside of basements
New faces on the daily and it's dizzying
It's Triggering the section of my brain that's amphibious
Icarus, I feel my wings melting under heat
But that ain't nothing, compared to hell's lava underneath
So I'm stuck in the middle like that "Thriller" song
Controlled by invisible forces stronger than gorilla arms
Inside a fish tank like the pope in his vehicle
Seeing big smiles from even those who don't agree with you
"Focus on the positive Po", "stay positive"
Another show another check go deposit it
Take a break from the scene and go step out of it
Don't go forget U came up out of nowhere be proud of it
You never did it for attention did it for yourself and for your fans
Ya ancestors and all the souls of elders in ya fam
Clothes food and shelter for your fam
Those were the cards you were dealt with
F*ck whoever jealous of ya hand
Caught yourself a break now you winning
Now they looking at you different
Got yourself together you in business
Now they looking at you different
Got it popping accosted by pretty women
Now they looking at you different
Videos playing on television
Now they looking at you different
