You work yourself to the bone, for a car and a home, A cell phone, and all the other things you could own, But all you really get is stress, til the day you’re deceased, You’re just sheep, following the flock to be fleeced. Yo, William is a hard worker, he’s never late, So we found it weird, when he wasn’t there in his place, He’s been sick twice in five years, he’s motivated, He’s dedicated; he keeps work and home life separated, You bet he’ll make it, he keeps himself focused, Even though, they low-blowed him on that last promotion, He’s a soldier; he really wants this company to win, Maybe we should let him know, we appreciate him, They don’t appreciate me, but I break my back for them, For what, no raise, well, today’s payback for them, They had the wool over my eyes, wolves in disguise, This world disgusts me, but I’ve got a little surprise, I’m gonna light ‘em up, nice and rough, And show em I won’t take it anymore, uh-uh enough’s enough, I worked my whole life to earn my spot, fair and square, And now it kinda looks like I’ll never get there.

I was living by the rules, and working by the book, And look at where it got me, I been overlooked, That promotion should have been mine, I put in the time, Lost my wife to my work, dollars cost me my dime, Now they’re all gonna die, say my nine and my four five, Extra clips, and enough rounds for every floor twice, Kick in the door, yelling GET ON THE GROUND, Waste one round, to show I’m not fucking around, Then I’ll line em up like circus seals, and start offing cats, Make my way up to the top floor where the boss is at, But first I’m stopping at the dude who stole the job and brrapp, I got a special bullet, saved to lay his bitch-ass flat, On to the boss, making-a-racket with the ratchet, Shooting anything that moves, trying to bury the hatchet, Catch him, drag him to the window, streets in the distance, Jump out the window, him gripped up, and die with him. You work yourself to the bone, for a car and a home, A cell phone, and all the other things you could own, But all you really get is stress, til the day you’re deceased, You’re just sheep, following the flock to be fleeced.

(NGA Only) Another day, another hustle, got money to make, Beside my, honey I wake, stretch and give my head a shake, Early bird gets the worm, and the world don’t wait, In fact, I’m in a hurry got a baby on the way, 24 years on earth, created 2 kids, And it’s infinitely influenced the way I do biz, I’m a little too old to get locked up for a bid, So I gotta wait now, my spots I gotta pick, Never talked a lot of shit, but rocked a lotta ships, Stubborn as an ox, it’s hard to talk me outta spit, I’ve walked a lotta miles, and lost a lotta grip, Felt awkward for a while, but now I’m on some shit, The crown is near my grasp, it’s mine to snatch, it’s my time, I’ma shine like the strip on our cash, if you don’t like it, I invite you to lick on my sack, cause if I fight you, it’s likely I’ll cripple your ass. The more things change, the more they stay the same, Nothing ever really, changes, Cure one person, and another’s insane, Cause nothing ever really changes. The more things change, the more they stay the same, Nothing ever really, changes, Cure one person, and another’s insane, Cause nothing ever really changes. I’ve been screaming for a change, beating out my brains, Trying to see the reason people keeping up to be the same, Evolution has been slowed, almost to a stop, That’s why I call you people sheep, you all follow the flock, That’s the reason that I came, believe it or not, Cause if it stays the same, then I’m a part of killing hip-hop, There’s no, blood on my hands, but there could be, Just cause nothing’s changed, doesn’t mean it’s the way that it should be

He’s a troubled youth, living in the States during W’s, Regime, he lives with his brother and his mother too, Father died in Iraq, benefits are running out, His mother has to find a man, to help her figure something out, He feels betrayed, daddy’s barely fresh in the ground, And his moms, is already running around, She’s slumming, slipping, stumbling, trippin Bitching, crumbling, crying, dying, tricking, tumbling, all cause she hates her life, misses her husband, loves nothing like she loved him, she never could, she wishes she could be like the girl in ghost, one last time, one more night holding him close, but he’s gone, so her tears pour, it tears her apart, she’s scared of the light and terrified of the dark, with the pain in her heart, she’s left here alone, slowly she’s changing, changing to stone. Are we mice or are we really men, Are we demons, are we heaven sent, Will we move how we need to, to reach the plateau, Or stand still like statues, stand still like statues. He’s watching her go downhill, from bad to worse, It hurts, it’s the worst thing that he ever endured, for sure, His little brother and he, watched his mother, deplete, Til she shattered, into millions of pieces, Every-time she gets battered he gets madder, and it’s tragic, but he doesn’t seem to matter, at all, since he packed a baby rattle, not sure if it’s nature versus nurture, but he’s matured, suffice it to say that he has suffered, enough for, a lifetime times nine, he hangs by a thread, dreaming of a different life, wishing he was dead, he sees nothing else ahead, but misery and anguish, cause pain is his pen, and despair is his language, twisting and turning, midair as he strangles, with no air, he says one prayer as he dangles, his brother walks in, sees his loved one hanging, and snaps, someone’s gonna pay for his anger. Are we mice or are we really men, Are we demons, are we heaven sent, Will we move how we need to, to reach the plateau, Or stand still like statues, stand still like statues. He’d seen too much for his fifteen years, Couldn’t look at his mother, couldn’t look in a mirror, His reflection reflected a neglected son, Who had no peers, friendless, he respected none, With his brother’s last breath, went his hope for future, his grades declined, and his mom’s man’s abusive, the walls are tumbling down, he can’t prove it, when he accuses her boyfriend, he looks stupid, with nothing to lose, he decided to move, but the boyfriend, wouldn’t let him do what he had to do, argument ensues, kid pulls a two-two, pumps, blasts holes in him big enough to see through, now his mom’s screaming, sitting on the kitchen floor bleeding, she got hit, and now she’s losing all of her feeling, she was paralyzed, making her a paradigm of bad luck, he wasn’t scared to die, but terrified of where he’d wind up. Are we mice or are we really men, Are we demons, are we heaven sent, Will we move how we need to, to reach the plateau, Or stand still like statues, stand still like statues.

Somebody call the cops, I just stole the crown, I was the Black Sheep, but that’s all over now, That’s so last week, so none dare take it past speak, Cause I am wired to blow, as if I’m plastique, The best of the bunch, the king of the trash heap, My crown sits askew, balanced on my hat’s beak, I spat deep since the first time I scratched these, Words on a scrap sheet, and became a rap geek, Picture African droughts, I write with that heat, I’m nasty, they chase me, but they will never catch me, I’m fast be-coming, a vast rap resource, Which only I import/export or deport, There’s none better than me when I’m unfettered, I’m the one, with respect to Jay, B.I.G, Pac and Pun, I’m keeping busy while the masses slacking, Cause I can do what they can do but better, call me the total package. The Black Sheep, that’s what they call me cause I’m different, The Black Sheep, but am I really, The Black Sheep? The Black Sheep, I’m closer to the wolf in the wool, Living lazy til I’m not so full, I’m not the Black Sheep. The Black Sheep, that’s what they call me cause I’m different, The Black Sheep, but am I really, The Black Sheep? The Black Sheep, I’m closer to the wolf in the wool, Living lazy til I’m not so full, I’m not the Black Sheep. My verses’ll break your vertebrae I bust the best bars, Trust, I’m on the cusp, bout to crush these pop tards, It’s in the cards, my name was written in stars, Been ill since I started kicking writtens in bars, Sicker than sars, so I dream of being bigger than large, It’s in my heart, like the bitterness that sets me apart, Everyone who hears my music says it’s heavy and dark, A depressing form of expression, I tell em, - that’s art, View my life like a mirror, I just pick through the shards, I’ve come so far, you couldn’t put the distance in yards, I never compromised myself, so I can live with my scars, I plan on, Making my mark, through making remarks, Some will love and some will hate me to start, and that’s aiight, Cause I’m satisfied with who I are, when I grab a mic, I’m just, playing my part, before I depart earth, And this niche that I’m carving’s far from hard work. The Black Sheep, that’s what they call me cause I’m different, The Black Sheep, but am I really, The Black Sheep? The Black Sheep, I’m closer to the wolf in the wool, Living lazy til I’m not so full, I’m not the Black Sheep. The Black Sheep, that’s what they call me cause I’m different, The Black Sheep, but am I really, The Black Sheep? The Black Sheep, I’m closer to the wolf in the wool, Living lazy til I’m not so full, I’m not the Black Sheep. There’s never really been one like me previous to now, Been Obsequious til now, with a deepness to my style, They ain’t seen me in a while, now I see em single file, Haters line-up to my show, and I greet ‘em with a smile, Success is the best revenge, you’ll find in this ex-is-tence, So I’ll blind ‘em with my shine, then ask what they said again, Masochist with a pen, don’t ask why I got no friends, The time spent, allowed me to practice the way I vent, Mouton noir, I hit you like a two-ton car, I need two plates, the only question’s who gon’ starve, Put him to pasture, I need to eat, I got this mastered, I’m only gonna get stronger, better, harder, faster, I’m chompin at the bit with the hits they wanna bite, So they viewing me with spite, cause they don’t know how to write, And I’m leaving ‘em in fits, to freely talk their shit, They won’t battle me in public, they won’t even cock their fists. The Black Sheep, that’s what they call me cause I’m different, The Black Sheep, but am I really, The Black Sheep? The Black Sheep, I’m closer to the wolf in the wool, Living lazy til I’m not so full, I’m not the Black Sheep. The Black Sheep, that’s what they call me cause I’m different, The Black Sheep, but am I really, The Black Sheep?

I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, I been on the grind I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, and the game is mine.(X2) I dream of being famous, so I spit in my sleep, Logik dreams of being famous, and he makes me a beat, I got ambition, I got heart, I got the will to be king, They not as skilled as me, I built my speech inside of the bing, I make it hot, when I verbalize my verses I disperse my foes, Unearthly with words, surgical with this dirty flow, Ready to blow up, so better be aware of me, I’m like a young Bonds, my hits are steroid free, I’ll knock it out the park, these rappers lack the parts, They treading water, but their period’s attracting sharks, I took this fractured art, practiced and mastered it, Now it’s an unfair fight, like slapping pacifists, Look through my catalogue, learn what a classic is, Then look at your scrap and finally see what trash it is, 08 I’m cashing in, I’m coming for the crown, Coming out of Lo-City, I’m the best around. I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, I been on the grind I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, and the game is mine, I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, I been on the grind, I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, and the game is mine. Man, I grind so hard I should skateboard, that’s no joke, I do blaze, but you’ll never see me blow smoke, I’m so dope, when I sweat you can smell the blunt, My batting average so high, I could never bunt, Man I never front, I never had to, You wanna go a round with me? I’d be glad to, If I rapped like y’all, I’d be mad too, So go ahead and hate me, I am that dude, Photo friendly with or without the tattoo’s, Factor in my past, and I’m way past due, Three years in the game get better on every track, Never about a chain, I been about rap, When I’m into it it’s intricate, poetry in motion, This is how it’s s’posed to be spoken, I’ve awoken, I’m here for the game, spittin straight toxic, About to split everything I get with Logik. I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, I been on the grind I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, and the game is mine, I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, I been on the grind, I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, and the game is mine. A quarter of a thousand tracks only took me three years, Twenty minutes in a beef and I’ll wreck your career I could do this how they do it, but I can’t see why? I prefer to make the same type music I’d buy, And I’m honest if I’m nothing else, why write lies? Some rappers won’t be happy til they actually die, I don’t wanna be anything other than what I am, I’m a slugger, not another thug or gangster, I’m a man, N.G.A, my stock’s rising faster than the dollar did, I’m always increasing my knowledge like a scholar is, And I ain’t stopping til I’m known for the things I think, I’m bringing everything to war but the kitchen sink, I’ll never quit, this is only the beginning, Kept everybody waiting, now I’m coming out swinging, Crown prince who would be king, usurper to the throne, Sheep shaving psychopath, in a world of my own and…. I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, I been on the grind I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, and the game is mine, I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, I been on the grind, I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, I ain’t stopping til I’m world famous, and the game is mine.

Third time this week that I’ve seen the detective, He’s on my trail, and he’s asking questions, following me, it’s bothering me, But I’m letting it go, tolerantly, Every place that I stop, he sits and he watches, Fixes his watch, as I walk down the block, Takes a piss when I shit, and makes a note, It makes me choked, and lately, he’s staying close, Hear my name broadcast on his radio, I hated jail, but I ain’t afraid to go, I chop anything around from weed to hot cars, And spit these hot bars, so hard they cause scars, Bitch, gimme props, or I’ll give you the cock hard, I spit so sick, battle me, you caught sars, here I am, stuck stalked by this fuck, Gripped by the short hairs of my black nuts. Everywhere I go, and every time I look, There’s someone in the shadows, Maybe it’s two guys, maybe I’m too high, but Someone’s in the shadows someone’s in the shadows, moves like I move, thinks like I think, someone’s in the shadows, watching me breathe and watching me blink. He watches me sleep, he’s always around, I’m not truly free, he’s locking me down, I go see my son, he tapes the visit, Just to remind me, I’m his nigger, He knows I see him, I know he sees I, In any other place, we’d just be two guys, But now we’re adverse, adversaries, will I get caught, or will he get buried he’s opposition, I’m Clockwerk physics, hot, til the day my heart stops it’s twitchin, bring beef, lemme chop it up, in my kitchen, cook it down, so the sound, comforts my children, and I’ll build up a kinship, with my kindred, through flames, use emcees as my kindling, was a kind soul, til the grind’s grime took hold, over time, lost my mind, and grew a spinal cord. Everywhere I go, and every time I look, There’s someone in the shadows, Maybe it’s two guys, maybe I’m too high, but Someone’s in the shadows someone’s in the shadows, moves like I move, thinks like I think, someone’s in the shadows, watching me breathe and watching me blink. I can’t see one of my people’s, be runnin the street, Or else he might just send police through, I tried to ditch him, he always tails me, Flashes a smile, while he trails me daily, Can’t make a sale, my feet done failed me, Barely surviving, alone and ailing, I need to fix this, it has to end, cause I’ll die if I keep on playing pretend, so I drive to the country side, him behind, so close, he must think I’m blind, and I head to an old barn, that should do, he drives past like he’s passing through, tried to circle around me, but he’s lost sight, now I’m hiding to his right, ready for the fight charged at him, hit a tree and split my lips, realized too late, that he doesn’t exist. Everywhere I go, and every time I look, There’s someone in the shadows, Maybe it’s two guys, maybe I’m too high, but Someone’s in the shadows someone’s in the shadows, moves like I move, thinks like I think, someone’s in the shadows, watching me breathe and watching me blink. Everywhere I go, and every time I look, There’s someone in the shadows, Maybe it’s two guys, maybe I’m too high, but Someone’s in the shadows someone’s in the shadows, moves like I move, thinks like I think, someone’s in the shadows, watching me breathe and watching me blink.

Chuck has no home he lost it all in the stocks game, The wolves picked him clean because he was the Flock’s lame, It’s just past Christmas, accounts are drained, And just to screw with him, his work bounced his pay, His suit and tie aren’t credible around the way, Still he’s thinking about copping an ounce of yay, He wasn’t always rich and driving baby-blue cars, He got his start in business with a baby-food jar, Turning china white hard, chopping bricks to chunks, So with any luck, Chuck will have this fixed in months, But the streets ain’t the same as the days he came up, Somebody’s always mad that you’re getting your bucks, Robbery turned homicide, Chuck’s luck’s run out, Some Fuck done squeezed, took his wife and his son out, Now all Chuck does is just sit in the dark, Contemplating suicide, Death wish in his heart. If Mary had a little lamb, Assuming Mary’s real, One also must assume, that Mary has to eat meals, So theoretically, let’s say there’s no crops, I’d have to say that Mary’s gonna eat some Lamb-chops, I think she’d make a nice white wool coat, Then steal another little baby lamb or a goat, Singing Baa Baa, Black Sheep, how you wanna die, Mary’s only human, Mary’s gotta eat to survive. The dudes who bucked Chuck’s son, are grimy cats, Known murderers, who’d kill you, for tiny cash, With their Mindless asses, trying to snatch everything around, Nobody’s safe from filling holes in the ground, Pushing old people down, just to snatch their wallets, Brains bollixed, drug fiend alcoholics, Names Mark and Jerome, sons of a whore, Daddy was a crack fiend, died over raw, Sister would have made it, but a stray bullet dropped her, Died pregnant, baby survived, up for adoption, Now Mark and Jerome are all that’s left, And the time’s ticking down til they meet their deaths, Jerome’s caught first by the Hounds of War, Slit throat, lived by the gun, and died by the sword, What Mark doesn’t know about his brother getting dusted, Is Chuck knows, now he’s out to serve his own justice. If Mary had a little lamb, Assuming Mary’s real, One also must assume, that Mary has to eat meals, So theoretically, let’s say there’s no crops, I’d have to say that Mary’s gonna eat some Lamb-chops, I think she’d make a nice white wool coat, Then steal another little baby lamb or a goat, Singing Baa Baa, Black Sheep, how you wanna die, Mary’s only human, Mary’s gotta eat to survive. Mark’s going nuts, he’s being stalked by Chuck, Doesn’t know who to trust, so he walks in the dusk, Feeling haunted, the ghosts of his past, have arisen, they’re chasing, but this ghost is actually living, but not actually living, since the death of his kindred, Chuck wants Mark’s blood, like a vampire bit him, Since his fam got hit, it lit a damn fire in him, Now he wants to burn him live, like a campfire victim, When they find him it’ll look like a land mine ripped him, Or a terrorist example, on an airline mission, I’ll close the gap, whenever he goes to nap, Roast his ass, after using rope to wrap, Arms and legs, can’t forget the gag either, Chloroform, needles of speed, and rag ether, I coulda killed him yesterday if I used my gun, But his last sight has gotta be a picture of my son. If Mary had a little lamb, Assuming Mary’s real, One also must assume, that Mary has to eat meals, So theoretically, let’s say there’s no crops, I’d have to say that Mary’s gonna eat some Lamb-chops, I think she’d make a nice white wool coat, Then steal another little baby lamb or a goat, Singing Baa Baa, Black Sheep, how you wanna die, Mary’s only human, Mary’s gotta eat to survive.

He’s on a cliff, he’s looking sad, his life is messed up, No self confidence, can’t take the pressure, Always feels lesser, always he’s stressed out, His life is a hallway, it’s long and stretched out, His heart hurts, but he’s still strong in his health, His head hurt’s, but he looked the wrong way for help, If only I could stop him, he’s focused on the ground, There’s no way he could live, it’s a long way down, I’m a long way off, but I see his silhouette, All the secrets that he kept, have been leading to his death, If he sees me, he may leap, I’d be crushed if he leapt, So I gotta creep, can’t even breathe when I step, Gotta get close, gotta sneak up, ease to his left, So I go slow, crawling on my knees , holding breath, Ducked behind a rock, so close I hear him cry, Stood straight up to say something, then saw why. Don’t Jump, whatever it is, it isn’t worth it, It isn’t your time to see curtains, Don’t Jump you got your whole life ahead of you, It won’t deaden the pain but it’ll deaden you, Don’t Jump, whatever it is, it isn’t worth it, It isn’t your time to see curtains, Don’t Jump you got your whole life ahead of you, It won’t deaden the pain but it’ll deaden you He wasn’t staring at the ground, he was staring at his wife, At the bottom of the cliff, staring blankly at the heights, I asked him if he did it, he answered me no, I Lit some cannabis, he lit a candle, standing alone, Too much to handle, couldn’t manage it, he wanted to go, His girl is hamburger, it damaged him and mangled his soul, So now he’s screaming like a banshee, it’s making me antsy, I’m not liking my chance, he jumps can’t do a damn thing, I’m handcuffed, bound by a force I can’t see, I move wrong, he’s dead before I can count three, So we chill, smoking a spliff, motionless, Almost peaceful, but far from emotion-less , I inch close, so slow, he don’t notice it, I’m Hopeful, amidst all his hopelessness, But that’s because I don’t realize how potent this, Notion he’s to blame, that’s he’s been holdin’ is. Don’t Jump, whatever it is, it isn’t worth it, It isn’t your time to see curtains, Don’t Jump you got your whole life ahead of you, It won’t deaden the pain but it’ll deaden you, Don’t Jump, whatever it is, it isn’t worth it, It isn’t your time to see curtains, Don’t Jump you got your whole life ahead of you, It won’t deaden the pain but it’ll deaden you Just give me one reason not to, I've got to make this better, I cant believe what happened in the dark and stormy weather, Who ever could imagine this happening so quick, In the blink of an eye I just couldn’t control it, Holding hands and makin love, I swear id never make it up, This woman was everything, I'd never try and break that up, Sacred love, the type you always hear about, Never stutter steppin through a moment of doubt, But now its over at the snap of the fingers, There aint a point of goin on because no happiness lingers, No purpose in existence if it only feels worthless, Headed over the edge, embedding deep within the surface, (Inhale) Don’t jump - whatever it is it isn’t worth it, But my Life up until now’s felt like nothing but perfect, Now shes dead and its something that ill never get past, I'll never last, without my better half, so let me crash, Don’t Jump, whatever it is, it isn’t worth it, It isn’t your time to see curtains, Don’t Jump you got your whole life ahead of you, It won’t deaden the pain but it’ll deaden you, Don’t Jump, whatever it is, it isn’t worth it, It isn’t your time to see curtains, Don’t Jump you got your whole life ahead of you, It won’t deaden the pain but it’ll deaden you He jumped off the edge, screaming peace as he fell, And I let him go, noticing my tears as they welled, I didn’t have an answer for the question he asked, It happened so fast, I heard him break rocks when he smashed, His vertebrae curdled my blood, I heard his spine break, His last words fucked me up, like I’d been mind raped, He was my best friend, and never even knew it, Cause I never really said it, I find that I regret it, I don’t know where he’s headed, but I hope he found his girl, cause a love like that doesn’t exist in this world, it’s a fairy tale, just too good to be true, and that’s depressing, now I think I wanna jump too, I don’t wanna jump hoops, and wear a dumb suit, Just to find out if someone I love loves me too, So I’m signing off, with a final fuck you Earth, And screamin I love hip-hop, til I hit dirt.

Got a baby on the way, I’m way beyond the same, Sick, crazy or insane, dude who jumped into this game, Now I’m playing it for keeps, aiming for the top, And I’m shaving all the sheep, trying liberate the flock, Call me a shepherd, I’m really just a man with a plan, Why save sheep, when I could fix the land with the lambs, My speech special, any lesser emcee I teach lessons, Consequently, I eat more beats than I eat breakfast, It’s music with a message, text with texture, Fact mixed with fiction, or truth with conjecture, You can speculate, about the truths to which I self-dedicate, Or you can check my record, it’s the tale of a heavyweight, I bullied my way into the drug game successfully, I read people well, so it’s hard to get the best of me, I beat people well, so the Gangsta’s started loving me, I wouldn’t call it thug life, just necessary thuggery, I lived like that for too long, man, believe my words, I never thought the way out for me, could be my words, But that’s the way it’s turned out for me, I ain’t complaining, Cause now it’s gonna work out for me, I aim to make it.

Take a walk down the street, see the pushers push drugs, Everybody and their brother wants to act like a thug, With their backs to the brixs, their gat, and mean mugs, They act out the life that Pac done dreamed up, I done seen some slums, done dirt I can’t clean, I've stabbed cats, in the name of pride for my team, All it ever gave me, was nightmares, of bad deeds, Made me question if I was indeed a bad seed, In need of structure badly, believe, To see me succeed is all my dad needs, To see the salvation he’s prayed for to come, For his youngest child, me, his one and only son, Wrote "Never Learn" to thank him, for keeping his faith, He’s the man behind the scenes, who wants to see me be great, He wants to see me wield my sword to cut my slice of the cake, Instead of using it to see just how much I can take. It’s apparent that parent’s parenting could make the differ-ence, Between a kid who deals yay, and other kids who sniffing it, I’m wishing we were winning in the battle, but we’re losing it, The winner in the end, is who had nothing to do with it. The chorus is a metaphor, forever for the guide, To heaven’s door, cause heaven’s courts will judge you on your life, You could be a pusher, be a custie, or be a sheep, If God calls himself a shepherd, which he want you to be, Not a question, about your knowledge of the bible, But simply a suggestion how to rise above your rivals, It’s easy to be a loser, just do nothing, Pursue less than that, smoke weed, sell crack, Pattern your life, after my life, and it’ll happen, And the only thing you’ll need to learn, is how to make a weapon, Or fuck your kids neglect ‘em, leave ‘em when they’re just infants, After all, it ain’t your fault you got a ten year sentence, is it, Of course it is, nobody forced this business on ya, You might have seen it, but I’ve lived it, so I spit it for ya, It’s apparent that parent’s parenting could make the differ-ence, Between a kid who deals yay, and other kids who sniffing it, I’m wishing we were winning in the battle, but we’re losing it, The winner in the end, is who had nothing to do with it.

One of these days, I’ma take over hip-hop, And give rap a breather, from all of the clip-talk, The fetish for the chains and wristwatch, the bracelet, And all the crap, that rapes my art and degrades it. One of these days, I’ma claim my spot, when I do, I’ll be regarded as the closest to Pac, a true poet, the king of hip-hop lives, I don’t need to pop clips, as long as I got spliffs, Cause I spit that hotness, so nothing could stop Nick, I’ve Written a lot, bitch, so watch ya lips, don’t talk shit, I talk sick, so slick, you could swear I was taught this, I scribble sciptures at a rate faster than prophets, I’ll take a break, when I’m laid dead in a coffin, I’ll die a guy who never had his name on an office, Who said to be hard, you had to grow in the projects I hustle everyday, but I don’t hustle for objects, I’m someone that God’s-Blessed, with tons on my chest, Not trying to disrespect anyone, alone in my quest, I’m a simple man, I don’t view a chain as success, If I reach one person, this was worth the stress.

I wanna change the whole culture, a lofty statement, But I think that the art’s-been lost in translation, but one of these days, I’ma re-create it, And (pause) I’ma wade through the hatred, Escape it, and save this from turning to fake ish, After that I won’t need to get shot for greatness, It’s not about ya story, man, it’s how you relate it, You could paint your own picture or trace it, I’m all about being unique, when I speak, c’est le magique, C’est magnifique, c’est moi, Ngajuana. Je suis, So sweet with my language and speech I will defeat, Each and every obstacle, I can see, in front of me, With an ease, that’s unbelievable, it’s a breeze, When I’m unleashed on a beat, guaranteed I bring heat, So put ya heads down, my steez’ll see you deceased, Buy this cd, and I’ll paint you a picture for free.

You either make it or you don’t, see your shot, Take it or you won’t get another one, say it isn’t so, Try to say I didn’t tell you and you’re lying, I just wanna be the good shepherd once before I’m dying, (X2) It is my only dream to be a star, not the money not the cars, -I’d rather fly like an eagle, than only play for par, Used to stay caged in bars, now I got freedom, And younger blacks are falling in the trap I gotta lead ‘em, They used to call me lifer, said I’d always come back, My sense of self worth couldn’t let my life become that, I took my past experience and built myself up from scrap Stayed out of crap, searching for salvation through rap, So here I’m at, proud to be the man that I’ve become, Hungry for the upper crust, still living with the crumbs, And I’m almost numb, seen a lot, heard more, Written too much and popped too many Tums, Still I, run from nightmares, scared to sleep, Staring in the mirror, that face is barely me, And then I see a kid who’s just like I was, a shy thug, And I bug and write, for the little good a rhyme does. You either make it or you don’t, see your shot, Take it or you won’t get another one, say it isn’t so, Try to say I didn’t tell you and you’re lying, I just wanna be the good shepherd once before I’m dying. You either make it or you don’t, see your shot, Take it or you won’t get another one, say it isn’t so, Try to say I didn’t tell you and you’re lying, I just wanna be the good shepherd once before I’m dying. I’m trying to reach out to the youth, speak up with the truth, Seen so many hung dry, I’m trying pre-cut the noose, Trying to liberate the flock through these cuts in the booth, Trying help the kids grow, my speech flushing the roots, Trying to lead them from the streets that keep ‘em tucking the tools, Back to the class, because we need em stuck in the schools, That information is the key to a world full of locked doors, I can’t count the wars, where no-one knows what they fought for, Used to spend my time locked up, often I got bored, Finally got sick of the game, quit and got top score, And I been hot for, a minute, cause I got more tracks, Than a junkie, when he can’t find a spot for, The next hit, I’m blessed by the Lord, With this spit, a gift I could never afford, To let slip, and all I had to do was believe, That my cell wouldn’t be the last thing that I’d see. You either make it or you don’t, see your shot, Take it or you won’t get another one, say it isn’t so, Try to say I didn’t tell you and you’re lying, I just wanna be the good shepherd once before I’m dying. You either make it or you don’t, see your shot, Take it or you won’t get another one, say it isn’t so, Try to say I didn’t tell you and you’re lying, I just wanna be the good shepherd once before I’m dying. I’ve seen good in the worst dudes, hard to believe, But it’s the things you don’t expect that are the hardest to see, And as an artist there’s a burden to put your thoughts into words, It’s like, speak now or forever hold your verse, You get one big shot, big shot, so take aim, Cause a champ places first and a chump places blame, Will you, carry the torch or extinguish the flame, Settle for mediocrity or push for the fame, And I wonder if the sheep can be shaved, thoughts of a humble shepherd, Watching his flock as they peacefully graze, Sometimes I wish that I could join ‘em in their ignorant daze, So I’m blazed most of my days, made crutches out of the haze, Still viewing life in shades of gray, changed my ways, But I’m watching all the innocence in kids fade away, Cause they’re prey to the images they witness and the trends, So they miss out on their youth, trying to fit in with their friends. You either make it or you don’t, see your shot, Take it or you won’t get another one, say it isn’t so, Try to say I didn’t tell you and you’re lying, I just wanna be the good shepherd once before I’m dying. You either make it or you don’t, see your shot, Take it or you won’t get another one, say it isn’t so, Try to say I didn’t tell you and you’re lying, I just wanna be the good shepherd once before I’m dying.

Time for the herd to thin out, I’m stepping in now, Out on a limb, never in doubt, let us begin now, You think you phat? Me and Rugged here to help ya trim down so… Wolf in sheep’s clothing, thinning out the herd, In the battle for rap’s title, I’m sinister with words, Blessed like a priest or minister, I eat ‘em like they dinner, Freeze ‘em like it’s winter, beat ‘em then decease ‘em and It’s finished, To be truthful, I’ve been lethal for a minute, I’m a weapon And I’m seething, cause it seems that I’ve been slept on, but I’ve kept on, The echelon I crept on, so I’m placing my bets on, Myself as the next ex-con, to turn the press on, I’m fresh on every single beat my breath’s on, But so bored, like the surface I play chess on, I’m eating - I mean, leading the flock, Got ‘em believing I changed, but hell no man, I’m evil as fuck, Plus I’m planning on defying the odds, achieving victory, Smoking emcees like hickory, cutting a slice of history, Shaving the sheep, and not the ones at the farm, I’m stacking the wool, to start my clothing line from the yarn, They ain’t causing me harm, they ain’t no cause for alarm, Cause all these shooters couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn, Speaking of chess the opposition are resembling pawns, Never been made men, yet they try to rep like they dons. Time for the herd to thin out, I’m stepping in now, Out on a limb, never in doubt, let us begin now, You think you phat? Me and Rugged here to help ya trim down so… I’m the best amongst the ones who think that they’re the best around, But they’re threatened by my presence, so they try to put me down, I’m not lying when I say that I’m the heir to the crown, I’m bombing Barnum and Bailey’s trying to bury these clowns, I’ll Britney Spears their careers, it’s clear I’m needed here, Shaving the sheep, like I never heard of some shears, My message is clear rap’s resurrection is near, That’s all I want, plus the respect of my peers, get it? Infectious to ears, and that’s without, ever switching a gear, A quarter of a thousand tracks in half of six years, Rugged One and the Cannabis Kid, we shoulda been out, Even with our backs to the wall, it’s never in doubt, Cause most of these rappers are just something to snack on, If beef comes they run, like someone left the tap on, I crap on em, every-time I snap on em it’s jokes, I show ‘em my nuts, tell em to snack on em and choke, And I been waiting on these other fleas to push me, But they hide behind they bars, like they P.C. pussy, If you can’t take the time, don’t take up crime, So put down the pen, and stop trying to rhyme. Time for the herd to thin out, I’m stepping in now, Out on a limb, never in doubt, let us begin now, You think you phat? Me and Rugged here to help ya trim down so… I been on a limb, watch me dance on a branch fast, -The answer to the questions you can’t ask, I’m here to take over, pillage and ransack your stacked grands, Old-school, like your grand-dad, give you the back hand, I’m that damn good and goddamn I’m getting better, I’m hot man, so gimme my props, I want my credit, I’m ahead of the game, maybe ahead of my time, Man I’m catching a tan, I’m so ahead of my shine, Creating my success, I saw it first in my soul, Put my soul in my music, now I live for the flow, And you can see it, cause my passion is a visible thing, This music is the reason that I do not live in the bing, I give it everything I got, because I owe it no less, So if you’re not impressed, sorry, but you’re probably deaf, This is as good as it gets, 3 points and all mesh, I’m moving like a vet, my hands command death, I’m a different breed, you can tell by the tinge, Half black half white, call me the Gray Prince, I’m the best of the new batch, my cling raps stick, Ignore syntax, and still phat I’m just that sick.

(Rain) Is all that I see, defines who I am, I’m here all alone, but I’m taking a stand, Or rain will just fall, keep getting me wet, They say it’ll shine, but I ain’t seen it yet, Nevertheless, I keep pushing on, The days are so dark, I can’t wait til they’re gone, There’s nowhere to hide, so I won’t even try, Won’t make an attempt, I’ll just march til I die, A smart kinda guy, who’s heart kinda died, Way back in the days, I was locked up inside, These are the thoughts, that I’ve fought to deny, But I’m losing this lopsided waltz, to my pride, So I’m walkin in rain, provocative pain, I’m Feeling suppressed, where democracy reigns, And I’m waiting for shine, waiting for mine, The good days are coming, but taking their time. (Hook) (Rain) drops fall around me, almost drown me, Cause I’m almost down and out, Without a doubt, I could still stand up, Problem is I keep on waiting for a hand up, And it’s not coming, no it’s not coming, I gotta shit in the pot, or get off of it, I want the money and the shine and lots of it, I want the title, but the Lord said “Do Not Covet”, And so I toss covers, I’m just a lost brotha, Searching for help, but my bible’s too dust smothered, I’m conflicted, to which do I listen, My visible passion, or faith in religion, I’m free, still I find myself hating this prison I wake up in daily, pissed off and indignant, Just hating the rain, waiting for mine, The good days are coming, just taking their time. (Hook)

Say goodnight, because the last acts been played, They couldn’t take it anymore, so they’re packed in graves, suicide notes scream everything they mumble, from the grave, making letters become numbers. Dear World, I think I need help, I wanna die, I’m staring out my office window, up at the sky, I worked non-stop, to get where I‘ve got, My whole life’s been go, now I want it to stop, I’m sick of rushing, I’m sick of deadlines, sick of bosses, I’m sick of stocks, I hate the profits and losses , I’ve cheated on my wife, on work vacations, taught assistants dictation, Dick taking and tasting, I hate me, I wonder if this ever gets better, And I wonder if there really is a God or a Heaven, Or a Satan or a hell, I really shouldn’t dwell, But the stock on my soul rose, I had to sell, I’m sorry to my wife Christine, I know we’ll meet again, And I can’t think of a moment that will be sweet as then, To be real, I’ve been dead a long time, So it right that I take this concrete swan dive. Say goodnight, because the last acts been played, They couldn’t take it anymore, so they’re packed in graves, suicide notes scream everything they mumble, from the grave, making letters become numbers. Say goodnight, because the last acts been played, They couldn’t take it anymore, so they’re packed in graves, suicide notes scream everything they mumble, from the grave, making letters become numbers. Dear nobody cares, I’ve been sick for three months, I’m dying, but everyone around me fronts, They act like there’s hope, but I wanna let go, I’m in so much pain, I got cancer in my brain, No-one seems to understand it, I’m the one suffering, It’s my screams and my dignity, that they’re sloughing, I’m a shell of myself, I’m less nothing, I’m living with my face and my chest all sucked in, It sucks man I keep hoping to croak, Take a dirt nap, heart attack, c’mon stroke, But I’ve done it their way, for long enough, Some people just know when their time is up, So say goodnight, I’ll say goodbye, still got my pocketknife, my watch to my grandson, the rest to my son and wife, I’m so sorry, but if you find this, I’ve gone to a better place, to find bliss. Say goodnight, because the last acts been played, They couldn’t take it anymore, so they’re packed in graves, suicide notes scream everything they mumble, from the grave, making letters become numbers.

Dear Mom, I’m sorry I did this, but I had to, I know I’m a bad son, I broke up dad and you, And you’re so sad, cause you think I’m mad at you, But really, it’s all my fault this all happened, You used to be happy, but then you started fighting, First you stopped loving, then you stopped liking, It might be, that my death, will fix the break, And I’m willing to die, for my family’s sake, So I grabbed the gun that you keep in the closet, And loaded it how dad showed me, when we got robbed, And I know you’re at work, so I didn’t wanna bother you, Plus I knew that you’d just try to be an obstacle, I’ve made my decision, my life for yours, You deserve to be happy, my life’s no more, So remember me, love me, never forget me, I just wanna take my leave before you ever regret me.
