To the top you gotta go far Shortcuts only lead to cut short Couple drops to the bottom I left the local bar Another day another night fire burns like a torch I know the thrill is a sport To many wrong turns on the wrong path and I'm in court Plus the ref *****, ***** rigged now its got me all outta sorts Can't quit a mission James never hit abort Bonds when i swing White when I sing, a young lion like Barry wit a 40 on the porch I don't give a **** about a thing Stressing over every little thing Really just wanna spread my wings **** being cliche **** playing safe each day you can't live free this way So it's my way or you can hit the traffic on the freeway See my vibes a cool breeze wit a lil Hayes Soul man wit a shaft that'll make em say **** the DEA and the CCA Perfect GPA, so shawtys high grade Give her protein to build the muscles in the brain ...9 lives but I leave the ***** slain Mastering this lion in a cage that's untamed Thought I was insane til I learned bout chi ****, meditating to get free See we're all the same but all unique I've been in a daze for 9 months and weeks Smacking myself to see if I'm asleep The NSA surveilling all the sheep Stand your ground law but what about peace Eric Snowden was just the slightest breach Gotta do this to heal the soul i dont preach
