it shoulda been easier it coulda been harder//
i coulda been starvin eatin beans out the larder/
human bein in my jeans an a cardi- gan/
man its damage in all departments/
compartmentalize the lies and the fly shh/
part man part animal a hybrid/
im rapping into a can with a string attached an its tightened/
so if u do not hear me now the connection is all about timin/
im doin wells HG or Orson for the greater portion of my life i might as well have been aborted/
adopted bored with the doctor an his attending/
i was a lord in a past life and now im just here pretending/
gotta earn what i think i deserve create the balance/
initiate the challenge, overcome it while im smilin/
no mans an island spirits the ocean/
an even when im wilin when i spit u hearin devotion/
Bel Biv Devoe shit, ima do me/
my parents do not understand so i tell em papa dont preach/
a shotta dont reach unless hes bout to pull it/
shaolin reflexes shoot at me i bite the bullet/
how intrestin the foolery captured pullin them
ingest ur foolish jewelry raps and now im droppin gems/
watch as the ego rears its head than i stop within/
take a second breathe callin in the oxygen/
recall the situations i been in/
if i want different results i gotta change ingredients i put in/
if it sounds like common sense, than we got it in common/
i had to work for mine, still workin overtime in/
this race the pace im holdins not good enough for golden/
all brain no brawn i gotta train an re up on my motions/
its like a premonition that i dont need permission/
surely an epiphany an really i dont mean religiously/
im killing the feeling of misery still in the air im there like where isnt he/
prepare for wizardry its discipline hold to mine rigidly/
im finna be in the beat without the industry spittin soliloquy's ill til they sick of me/
not fallin for trickery, two fingers up reppin my victories/
tune in to everything anything medellin pure and endure to infinity/
I'm gone who's getting me/
if anything ill do it differently/
but ill do it better and weather the weather no matter whatever wherever im setting the bar an I'm clever/
forever vendetta against the offender I'm betting I'm Splinter u Shredder u getting aggressive go get ya barretta and brrratt! no one s hitting me..
thats right no ones hitting me/
my people out doing their own/
and i made it clear that i don't fuck w u unless u is working on grown/
and growth is pain but change is always needed/
for any of us to grow somethings gotta hurt so be it/
