Ay yo I might hustle, catch lightning in a bottle till I'm like Russel.
Making wifeys outta models, who the man? Fuck it.
So they biggin' up my name up in Nantucket.
I be spittin up the flames, throw a hot line in.
Stickin' move, got the groove, homie got timin'....
I been ducked off,but once in a blue, I get hit up.
Who went to jail, who got robbed, who got lit up.
Don't focus on the fall, aw nigga naw.
Not at all, it's what you do when you get up....
The dough is for the freedom, but it's all for the love.
I can't be spittin' for respect, cause that shit don't keep the lights on.
The bread will do some justice, but the rhymes keep my life going.
I tried flowin, cause my soul knows one way to roll it.
My face stoic, let my voice guide you for a moment.....
