Where's my snare, I have no snare in my headphones, there ya' go, yeah, yo', yo'...





I tried so hard

Can't seem to get away from misery

Man I tried so hard

I'll always be a victim of these streets

It ain't my fault cause I

Try to get away but trouble follows me

And still I tried so hard

Hoping one day you'll come and rescue me but

Until then



I'll be postin up right here

Rain, sleet, hail, snow



But until then



I'll be postin up right here

With my heat gettin dope (gettin dope)





(From Love me)

There's a certain mystique when I speak,

That you notice that's sorta unique,

Cause you know it's me, my poetry's deep,

And I'm still matic the way I flow to this beat,

You can't sit still, it's like tryin to smoke crack

And go to sleep, I'm strapped,

Just knowing any minute I could snap,

I'm the equivalent of what would happen if Bush rapped,

I bully these rappers so bad lyrically,

It ain't even funny, I ain't even hungry,

It ain't even money, you can't pay me enough

For you to play me, it's cockamanie,

You just ain't zaney enough to rock with Shady,

My noodle is cock-a-doodle, my clocks cuckoo,

I got screws loose, yeahhh, the whole kit an' kaboodle,

I'm just brutal. It's no rumour, I'm numero uno, assume it,

There's no humour in it no more, you know

I'm rollin with a swollen bowling ball in my bag,

You need a fag to come and tear a new hole in my ass

You better love me... bitch





I tried so hard

Can't seem to get away from misery

Hoping one day you'll come and rescue me but

(From Loose yourself)

Soul's escapin' through this hole's that is gaping

This world is mine for the taking

Make me king as we move toward a new world order

A normal life is boring

But superstardom's close to post mortem

It only grows harder, homie grows hotter

He blows us all over, these hoes is all on him

Coast to coast shows, he's known as the Globetrotter

Lonely roads got him

He knows he's grown farther from home, he's no father

He goes home and barely knows his own daughter

But hold ya nose cause here goes the cold water

These hoes don't want him no mo', he's called product

They moved on to the next shmo who flows

Who nose dove and sold nada

And so the so proper

His toll, it unfolds and I suppose it's old, partner

But the beat goes on

Duh duh doe, duh doe, dah dah dah dah





I tried so hard

Can't seem to get away from misery

Man I tried so hard

I'll always be a victim of these streets

It ain't my fault cause I

(From Like toy soldier)

I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure

Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders

I am never supposed to show it, my crew ain't supposed to know it

Even if it means goin' toe to toe with a Benzino it don't matter

I'd never drag them in battles that I can't handle unless I absolutely have to

I'm supposed to set an example

I need to be the leader, my crew looks for me to guide 'em

If some shit ever just pop off, I'm supposed to be beside 'em

Now the Ja shit I tried to squash it, it was too late to stop it

There's a certain line you just don't cross and he crossed it

I heard him say Hailie's name on a song and I just lost it

It was crazy, this shit way beyond some Jay-z and Nas shit

And even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost it

I spent too much energy on it, honestly I'm exhausted

And I'm so caught in it I almost feel I'm the one who caused it

This ain't what I'm in hip-hop for, it's not why I got in it

That was never my object for someone to get killed

Why would I wanna destroy something I helped build

It wasn't my intentions, my intentions was good

I went through my whole career without ever mentionin'...

Now it's just out of respect for not runnin' my mouth

And talkin' about something that I knew nothing about

Plus Dre told me stay out, this just wasn't my beef

So I did, I just fell back, watched and gritted my teeth

While he's all over TV down talkin' a man who literally saved my life

Like fuck it I understand this is business

And this shit just isn't none of my business

But still knowin' this shit could pop off at any minute cause





I tried so hard

Can't seem to get away from misery

Man I tried so hard

I'll always be a victim of these streets

It ain't my fault cause I

Try to get away but trouble follows me

And still I tried so hard

Hoping one day you'll come and rescue me but

Until then

Rain, sleet, hail, snow



But until then



I'll be postin up right here
