Who you do it for?
Shit, I do it for me
If I didn't do it, nigga, I'd be writing a plea, tryin' to flee
It was late night, down on my knees
I was sittin' there prayin' to the one Elohim
Shit
I'm really cool and laid back
Always thought that I was failin', I was right on track
I don't do it for the fame, I don't want me a plaque
I'm just here to spread the story and shit, that's that
Uh
As I trade for a jack, I ain't down bad
Out smoking a black, Or out gang bangin'
Out smoking a black brother
Blood spill on the pave while he call for this mother
The average man shows me lame like Job, shows the ignorance that the nigga not tryin' to
grow
Same shoes, same pants with the nap in his fro
He a lame ass nigga
What you mad at me for
You a hypocrite
You don't think he can change
Mad at the little nigga cause he askin' for change
You don't even know his story
Y'all can share the same name
And you a lame ass nigga since you callin' him lame, uh

It took a lot of time just to sharpen my pen
You was sittin' in my shoes to see the world I was in
What's the price of life
Man, you can't tag it
You was thinkin' bout the rings, cars, and who live the fastest
Life came and gave a hook
Yeah, I nicknamed it cassius
Yeah, your mind made of clay
And you gotta ease your mind by smokin' on haze
And while you listenin' to SZA, think about good days
