[Chorus: Grouch]

No strings are attached

This is who I am

My rap is not an act

I am my own man



I don't want it to be how it used to be

I want it to be how it is now

A lot of people wanna see what they're used to seeing

I show those people I'm a good damn human being

Man of the earth

Free thinkin' first

Then comparin' notes

With the ones that you wrote

I don't live for votes

I tally my own quotes

You rally in the alley with your style-ee on dope

I got respect for that

Someone should write you a check for that

It's my movie, I wear the director's hat

You've got creative control though

I'll hit you off later with the paper let's roll

It's all soul

Music, I love it

Make it in my home replicate it for the public

Then spread it

Through our own company's

that are headed

By our own fuckin' homies

Nobody owns me

My mom named me Corey

Sam called me a number, had to tell ‘em my story

I love life, my wife and break molds

I'm on the dice, feels right, take hold



[Chorus]



(Why would you wanna try to break down this?) [x3]

(Why would you wanna try?)



I'm from the burrito truck village

His trunk, you could feel it

Pain can't heal it

Rain might wash you away

To L.A., plastic face temple

Don't generalize, there's none in South Central

Add it together

I'm mad at the weather

That's just for starters

Never had it better

It must be the cheddar

Cheese on my sandwich

I pay extra for that, just like I planned it

My boat landed

We're both stranded

I wrote candid

But you can understand it though

Never been branded

Spit it how I penned it

From the ground up

I do what not many men did

Careers open-ended

For years shows attended

My peers, stay open minded

They go rewind it.

From Diego to New York

True dedication make it work put it in Quark

Recycle it

Homie beat juggle it

Do it your way and see how big the bubble gets

Cause that's the shit!



[Chorus]

(Why would you wanna try to break down this?) [x3]

(Why would you wanna try?)



(We getting better baby!

Ain't no stopping us now!

Living Legends baby!

We on top of the pile!) [x3]
