I need y'all to hear me out there   Can y'all hear me out there?      Through blocks and boroughs, cops is plottin'   Snakes slither while hustlers chop they product   Foreign cars, exotic, got hoes hypnotic   While I cruise through the concrete, blowin' my chronic      And I move like a diplomat, hoodie and fitted caps   Dwell in the habitat where cons and killers at   Faced a thousand deaths, cowards'll bow to the feet   Of the Almighty, a God to the black child      I told Moms I would be somethin'   I gave myself to the world now it's like you owe me somethin'   Listen up, I got a story to tell   It's like I fell outta Heaven just to walk through Hell      But it fueled my fire, ignited my desire   You gave me the bricks and the sand to build the empire   Throwing steel at my forehead, my faith still strong   With all I've been through, you would think my faith gone      But nope, I hold my stance in stone   I move mountains with my will and succeed, that's how I keep goin'   'Won't stop' been the motto, feelin' rich like I won the lotto   It's almost like seein' through the eyes of a crack child      Dodgin' crisis, three strike system, niggaz trapped in a vice grip   You can't defeat me, I defy all odds and sabotages   I survived Reagan, I survived the first Bush   Thinkin' back when my moms gave that first push   Thank God for my life, I came through the room   Until the evil of part two, when God gave me a sequel      Rags to royal, Momma hand her hands in soil   Pops moved drugs in capsules and foils   I foiled your plans and made you aware   And turned America's dream into a nightmare      Yeah, you feel the vibe, muh'fuckers   The first B.I., 'Ready to Die' muh'fuckers   So 'Who Shot Ya', 9 to 5 muh'fuckers   'Bad Boy For Life' is I, muh'fuckers      And it's back, better than it ever was   I'm talkin' like we was gone but we never was   So I deliver the truth uncut   We produce more hits got the booth fucked up      On top of the statue yellin', "Who want what?"   For the past ten years, the future is us   Eyes closed like I'm blowin' reefer   The preview is over, now enjoy the future, niggaz      I wanna thank y'all for believin' in me for so long   Thank y'all for ridin' with a nigga   As we continue on, you are now listenin' to the sounds   Of the world famous, you know my name, you know my name
