rate me

Uh uh, yo<br>They plan was to knock me out the top of the game<br>But I overstand they truth is all lame<br>I hold cannons that shoot balls of flames<br>Right in they fat mouth then I carve my name<br>Nas - too real, nas - true king<br>It's however you feel, g'head, you swing<br>Your arms too short to box with god<br>I don't kill soloists only kill squads<br>Fame went to they head, so now it's fuck nas<br>Yesterday you begged for a deal, today you tough guys<br>I seen it comin<br>Soon as I popped my first bottle I spotted my enemies tryna' do what I do<br>Came in with my style, so I fathered you<br>I kept changin on the world since ...barbeque<br>Now you wanna hang with niggas I hung with<br>Fuck bitches I hit, it's funny I once said...<br>If i, ever make a record<br>I take a check and put something away for a rainy day to make my exit<br>But look at me now, ten years deep<br>Since the project, ? ? <br>I never asked to be top of rap's elite<br>Just a ghetto child tryna' learn the traps of the streets<br>But look at me now<br><br>[chorus]<br>You're the man you're the man<br>You're the man you're the man<br>You're the man you're the man<br>You're the man you're the man<br>You're the man you're the man<br><br>But wait a sec', give me time to explain, women and fast cars<br>And diamond rings can poison a rap star<br>It's suicidal, how I smoke in so much la'<br>I saw a dead bird flyin through a broken sky<br>Wish I could flap wings and fly away<br>To where black kings and ghana stay<br>So I could get on my flesh right away<br>But that'll be the day when it's peace<br>When my gat don't need to spray<br>When these streets are safe to play<br>Sex with death, indulge in these women<br>Vision my own skeleton swimmin in eternal fire<br>Broads play with pentagrams in they vagina<br>Like the exorcist, then they gave birth to my seeds<br>I beg for god's help, why they love hurtin me? <br>I'm your disciple, a thug certainly<br>I'm the n the a to the s-i-r<br>If I wasn't I must've been escobar<br>Forty-five in my waist, starin at my reflection<br>In the mirror, sittin still in the chair like my conception<br>When everything around me got cloudy, the chair became a king's throne<br>My destiny found me<br>It was clear why the struggle was so painful<br>Metamorphosis, this is what I changed to<br>And god, I'm so thankful<br><br>[chorus to fade]
