Lyrics
i want awards, plaques and platinum galore
and cash as reward for passionate force
see the ash on the paws say i work too hard
money got me changed i swear its the new cocaine
all i need now's a newfound dame, wit her mind right
im still tryina hustle we can settle when the times right
unfortunately love tend to come from ya blind side
and by the time you see it clear u lookin on from hind sight
so i stand behind mics with nothin to hide
guard down and my pride, shades on i'mma shine
laid all of my life on one roll of the dice
one chance imma take, it aint chance when its fate
i dont need the accolades and the mansion estate
i see it comin but those wont the plans that i made
i just want my family straight ... stand over graves
wit my dame and my hand gettin raised
in victory, picture me, cameras raised
flashin, i'm graspin' cash and awards
every man that'll hate solidifies my allure
so i keep friends at bay, enemies offshore
i breathe, so music aint dead, rest assured
but if hip hop got cancer and aids, im the cure
that was never found
but if i drop and nobody's there to hear it did i ever make a sound
i want awards, plaques, somethin real shiny
somethin that reminds me the top's where you'll find me
my mind be at the bottom, problems weigh it down
pacin' in circles, got no patience to wait around
cuz i'm better, i dont rap, i take concepts and
surround letters, sometimes it rhymes to sound better
my bars are the measuring bar for bars and measures
my quartets are like corsets, how they take breaths
my sixteens open souls and they close caskets
leave fiends wit an open nose like the got a crush
i hold assets but not enough, tryina get my dollas up
product of my environment, so i gotta hustle
knuckle game kinda weak, never really had muscle
never cared to fight fair, never really had scuffles
always had smarts i was taught that can get you farther
the school of hard knocks don't quite compare to harvard
just as i dont compare to those in my genre
they holla at hip hop, i threw hip hop's garter
fathered some beautiful children on the freedom trail
here's yet another baby, the first words, "play me"
in a few years she'll be featured in pagents
wavin on stage in her first place sashes
and when she grown she'll be adored by masses
and when she gone i'll drop another tracklist
