They say, "What`s happenin`?"
We say the facts and if, they lie
We comin` back for them
They might say but they don`t know
They say, they say
They don`t know

They say a ni**a lost his mind
But in the scheme of things I never lost a rhyme
The thin line between love and hatred
I`m the black pill in the Matrix, the saturated life

They say life is what you make it
So I wait quick on a spaceship so I can take it
As high as the stakes get when paper get low
I be tellin` Derick, "Tell Kara get us a show"

Little Com, I make righteous bitches get low
The richest man ain`t necessarily the ni**a wit dough
They say, "You ripped" yeah, that`s what they say
My ni**az couldn`t tell it was me, like Jamie in Ray

Paintin` a day, wit focused crime, broads, and good wine
They say, "Dope is sour so it`s homework and hood crimes"
I stood mine, for forever and a day so goodbye
They never could say tell `em, J

They say, "What`s happenin`?"
We say the facts and if, they lie
We comin` back for them
They might say but they don`t know
They say, they say
They don`t know

Ahh, the sweet taste of victory
Go head and breath it in like antihistamine
I know they sayin`, "Damn, yay snapped wit this beat"
F**k you expect? I`ve got a history

Groupie love now, gotta be them wheels
Haters back down, gotta be that steel
I know they cant wait till ya outta ya deal
Look how they did D`Angelo ask `em how do it feel

My best friends worry `bout me
`Cause they know when you famous
And you had made cash the media aims at us and you be up so high
If you ever fall off, it feel like a plane crash

But God don`t ever give me nothin` I can`t handle
So please don`t ever give me records I can`t sample
So I could vacate where it ain`t no channels
But it`s quite okay for a gangsta to wear sandals

They say `cause of the fame and stardom
I`m somewhere in between the church and insane asylum
I guess it`s messin` with my health then
And this verse so crazy when I finish I`m just gon` check myself in again

They say, "What`s happenin`?"
We say the facts and if, they lie
We comin` back for them
They might say but they don`t know
They say, they say
They don`t know

They say, "Dude think he righteous"
I write just to free minds, from Stoney to Rikers
Amongst the lifeless, in a world crazy as Mike is
On my paper, whether it`s weed or Isis

They say, "Life is a game", so I play hard
Writin` for my life `cause I`m scared of a day job
They say, "Sef kept the hood together"
I tell the young, "We can`t play the hood forever"

Play my cards right, they say I went to left
They showed me strange love, like I was Mr. F
Played chess in this game of, pawns and knights
Now I claim king like Don, or Frank White

They say my life is comparable to Christ`s
The way I sacrificed, and resurrected, twice
They say, "The crochet pants and the sweater was wack"
Seen the corner, now they say, "That ni**a`s back"

They say, "What`s happenin`?"
We say the facts and if, they lie
We comin` back for them
They might say but they don`t know
They say, they say
They don`t know
