I idolize no man who's confined to time
I only idolize the sun cause he's always lit
And it's a f*ck load of stars in the sky
But it take one of a kind to
Really even bring the squad with it
Nod with it
Another one of God's sons like Nas
And y'all didn't even see it comin'
Still profited
And give it to you for the fre99
Feelin' like MJ pre '99
Woke up, dick on carpenter
That's a hard, harbinger
Takin' no bargains niggas hate you one day
Then next day they love you
I take it with a grain of salt
It make 'em so salty
In my nigga Chad Jeep, wit the doors off it
40 hours, no doze off, no coffee
I feel like I neglect my
Natural needs so often
Every other mornin' wakin' up
Caughin', it's so costly, but
Let me call your attention
To our greatest power
Which is under your control
A power which is greater than poverty
Greater than the lack of education
Greater than all of your
Fears and superstitions combined
It is the power to take
The station of your own
Mind and direct to whatever
Ends you may desire
I'm learnin' patience and
Embracin' every moment
For the view and the vibe
F*ck pressure, feel the texture of the room
Livin' life underscored
Put it all on the line
I'm a mic connoisseur with the extras
They play for them cameras
Lower their standards to raise
Their chances to ball
And it's fear cause it's the system that
Raised 'em that did 'em wrong
In the hood prayin' bullets just graze 'em
But never take 'em
Like a dead beat daddy who
Lied about all vacations
I skate on these high vibrations
And ride 'em out
I idolize no nothing, it's bone dry
This shit give me cotton mouth
Niggas so 'bout a dollar
They forget what their problems 'bout
Dropped out of college and conning' and
Beef with his mama now
He mixed the goop with of the soda
So qualms gets drowned out
Be mashing the muscle and
Movin' counter counts
So who do we look up to when
The image on the canvas is
Pigs reciting niggas they mirandas
O Divine Providence
I ask not for more riches but
More wisdom with which to make
Wiser use of the
Riches you gave me at birth
Consisting in the power to
Control and direct my own mind
To whatever ends I might desire
Now you see why it is
Important that you recognize
That all success begins with
Definiteness of purpose
With a clear picture in your mind of
Precisely what you want from life
