[Russ] Don´t compare me to employees who hopin´ they see a check
I´m in a drop top McLaren just hopin´ I see an ex She hopin´ we reconnect, no chance I´m tryna be bigger than the Beatles, not hold hands Keep on throwing stones, I´ma make statues No face tats, but people got my face tattooed Freeing the damned by being free as I am And speaking belief into people sittin´ with reason to stand Who just might be needing a hand, I got you 9th Wonder blessed, provided the gospel I feel God-like, my fans all feel like apostles Model your mind after mine and you gon´ be just fine Model your mind off these other guys and you gon´ die That´s why I´m always at the head of the table, follow my lead
I´m a money tree, women tryna swallow my seed You wasn´t with me at my roots, though I´ve been on a quest for love for women with a Roots fro And potential like a JUCO Athlete, catch me in the backseat with ass cheeks on my lap We in Utah, so we fuck to a jazz beat It´s actually therapeutic, she classy, I´m Ferris Bueller Swimming out in Turks and Caicos, beware of the barracudas I got heart, I´m the cause, my life is just the effect I´m altering my reality, living in VFX Made a half million dollars, then fell asleep on a jet Fuck the club up, Atlanta ain´t seen this since BMF
Told my accountant, "Reinvest," gotta pound of weed for stress I might drop two platinum albums in a year like DMX Keep on living in my light and let my faith just lead the way ´Cause if I´m taking y´alls advice, I´m probably making y´alls mistakes Instead, I´m out in Egypt, just baskin in the results Of listening to myself and mappin´ out all my goals, uh My career is a course in self-confidence And how ownership leads to opulence, adjust your oculus If you tryna rise to prominence Bust down the doors, assert dominance when you call your first conference
I´m honest with my women, that´s probably why they all hate me They focused on bein´ Lori, I´m focused on bein´ Jay-Z The run that I´m on is gonna be longer than the Euphrates Gotta super model chick that´s badder than Tom Brady´s Rap game bunch of clowns in disguise like John Gacy You got one plaque, and it´s not even your song, I got eighty Lately, y´all are lazy, waitin´ to be carried Lotta y´all are dead, you just waitin to be buried Listen, I´ve been hot since Michelle and Barack You out your mind if you think I´m gon´ stop, ha

[Benny The Butcher] Conversation alone in the mirror (Uh-huh) I told myself before the year up (Before this year over) I´d be another homeowner and another millionaire, uh (Facts) My life crazy, but I´m way too busy to tear up (Too busy) Just please keep them broke vibes from near us (Walk away from me)
We different, I´m not the one to converse (Uh-huh) By the time you mumble your verse I´ll be in top five company, comfortably, gunnin´ for first (First) If it´s rap or either trap, one gon´ come with some perks The other comin´ with a six foot hole dug in the earth (Damn) Look, I know how them numbers lookin´, I don´t gotta check stats (I don´t do that) The pussy good, but I´ll still never text back (Nah) Being unsigned ain´t never changed my potential With every wave of a pencil, a nigga gaining momentum Wanna walk in my shoes, but I´m not trading my Christians
For Crocs (Never) but lil´ rap niggas only cravin´ attention It´s funny when you hot (Funny, uh), but it´s ugly when you not Everybody doubt, then suddenly you pop (Pop) Niggas sign them 360s, and hope it do something for their stock But I turned on more money than I got, and that´s a lot Had patience and it helped, I remember thinkin´, "Make it big" Then decorate the crib with paintings of myself ´Cause that who I owe (That´s who) You gotta give yourself credit, they definitely won´t (They won´t give you shit) You won´t hear this flow so often, so treasure these quotes As far as cheddar, we know enough plugs with bricks
That I´d probably never be broke I´m used to not gettin´ sleep, that´s a twenty-four hour business Exercisin´ my brain like 24 Hour Fitness Haters look at my jewels, get the feel of resentment Feelin´ like I´m ´posed to buy they friendship (What?) I remember sellin´ merch dolo, mailin´ my own shipment (Dolo) Now I´m on, y´all hoes thinks it´s Christmas Am I the one trippin´? (Me?) even if you think you this nice It´s gon´ be hard, try to match my ambition I´m goin´ on a rampage, handguns and champagne House need a damn maid, my watch need a lampshade Body language everything, read what my hands say (Read what my hands say)
I´ll go a little slower if you need me to translate (Need me to translate) Boss moves, keep options, that´s how you plan safe Just sealed the deal for a hundred with a handshake Weighin´ out the racks, a hustler who really made it out with rap With the jewels in the bank accounts to match The Butcher

[Black Thought] Yo, when I first started recording, I swear it was more important To make it to Soul Train and a gold chain and some Jordans Than makin´ my own lane and then blaze in the trail forward But I came from the old days where the vision was too distorted To come to an understanding, a partnership and plannin´ For your marketin´ and brandin´, though the office was abandoned Am I surprised? I´m monetized like more Morgan Stanley I´m in a position now to make a difference for the family My wife, kids, and in-laws deserve Renoirs Picassos and Warhols distressing my memoirs About the knowledge of experiences I´ve endured Create the bars, full of information like SIM cards I left court rooms as a defendant, fully acquitted In spite of the bloodsuckers who try sully my image And fightin´ with motherfuckers who tried to tell me I´m finished As if I´d ever consider the sky above as a limit When I am the scientific, my honor, I´m dying with ´em Iconic, gifted, it´s rare and requires a fairly different Kind of spirit, far as inner feelings, I ain´t tryna hear it Bein´ fearless how I´m pioneered into a higher tier If I am peerless, I guess I am here ´cause ain´t nobody near me On a pyramid and I´m adhering to the game theory I maintain, momentum and I made a name clearly But I can´t stop, I believe it´s no rest for the wary From the cards I was dealt, to awards on my shelf I turned scars to a sense of regard for myself Based on where I set the bar, I made it hard for myself I lent the hand before my brothers called for my help When I was still an inspiring, gun right for the firing Tryna find a part-time job site that was hirin´ Never concerned with the age or the height requirements Tryna shake the ways of the hood, like the violence Watchin´ the homies being forced into early retirement I´m stuck as another product of their environment I was told that achievement of goal starts to tryin´ at The prize, keep your eye on the hard work, rely on it And nothing else, don´t just hustle for your health Fear they gon´ do nothing for you until you secure your wealth Focus on the top, I´ve been hot since before crack rock You out your mind if you think I´ma stop, yo
