"oh no not him for real? / ain't that cat over the hill? / can't believe he's at it still / kinda figured he had his fill / guess he got more to say / couple rhymes he stored a way" / that's cool I know y'all hoped that I was here for a shorter stay / but I'm back back / and like before I don't know really just how to act act / so I try to make some sense of my life on these tracks tracks / looks like we're standing on the bring of a collapse lapse / matter of fact we're under attack
he calls that hip hop, son? / no mention of money and guns? / kinda bullsh*t 'hood he from? / just look at what he's become / I could tell when I first seen him / his monkey ass was dreamin'" / sh*t, y'all might be right but
I can't spit rhymes that have no meaning / but I'm back back / and like before I don't know really just how to act act / so I try to make some sense of my life on these tracks tracks / looks like we're standing on the bring of a collapse lapse / matter of fact we're under attack
I had my dreams but not like Martin Luther King / it seems they fade as days decay and slip away like leaves in streams / lean and mean until my schemes resulted in a lack of hunger / ain't too frightening when it's clear there ain't no lightening to your thunder / I wonder where I went astray it's hard to say / did I botch a major play or maybe just give up one day? / was I naive? did I believe the hype despite what Flav and Chuck said? / peeked behind the curtain wound up upset and disgusted? / turns out the gods are dusted and the miracle's a sham / left me squirming there in church 'cause I could see it's all a scam / should've been easier to make it once I knew that I could fake it / but I saw the virgin naked after that I couldn't shake it / hate to face it / I lost my faith and still haven't replaced it / for once I see the light for all my might I can't embrace it / bit more than I can chew how can it be that I can't taste it? / I'll decline the holy wine and watch the rest of y'all get wasted
