[00:00.92]Written by：Jairus Moze
[00:02.52]Some got hits about the racks that they earn
[00:04.63]Say there's Benjamins and Jacksons in their pockets to burn
[00:07.39]But when they shoot the video producers p*** around a bucket
[00:10.28]Full of rented jewelry for them to rock and return
[00:13.31]I know a straight edge rapper who acts like a sheep herder
[00:16.41]A vegan on the mic whose screaming that meats murder
[00:19.05]But when everybody's sleeping he be creeping
[00:21.63]Slugging back the whiskey hating himself and sneaking a cheeseburger
[00:24.77]There's a pop idol at the top of the charts
[00:27.71]And when her records being cut she's
[00:29.30]On the beach in St. Barts
[00:30.84]While a session singer who didn't have the face to make it
[00:33.49]Signs a nondisclosure agreement and belts out her parts
[00:36.48]It's hard cause I got bars that are big uppin' Woody Allen
[00:39.75]But maybe he's a predator whose diggin' in his talons
[00:42.55]There's a balance and often I don't know how to feel
[00:45.52]In a fake and painted world seek the real
[00:48.41]Now I can't change the past but a man's gotta man up
[00:54.44]It's hard to believe **** sometimes I get the best of me
[01:00.07]Now I'm doing what I can but I'm a man not a damn chump
[01:06.12]I can say it if you need but I'd rather let the ink bleed
[01:12.05]We dismiss our heroes' skeletons no matter how grim
[01:14.99]My fans saying I'd be honored to be injured by him
[01:17.79]Well fam this branch is thin but I'll go out on a limb
[01:20.46]To say she didn't love her ulna poking out of her skin
[01:23.54]Being pumped full of m***hine and tied to machines
[01:26.35]They cut off my jeans I heard her in the ambulance scream
[01:29.35]She's in school to do tattoos and might of had nerve damage
[01:32.63]So I could have cost a girl a chance at her dream
[01:35.26]Meanwhile he pops painkillers until the dude is numb
[01:38.40]Knew I was a stupid just not that I'm a ruthless one
[01:41.56]Youth is easily influenced
[01:43.06]So should you be rooting for me if I touch a thousand lives
[01:45.70]But on the way I ruin some
[01:47.49]The rule of thumb is all publicity is your advantage
[01:50.47]But human lives are not collateral damage
[01:52.59]Bandage the wounded then vanish blank as the newest of canvases
[01:55.60]When they zoom in the cameras give them the truth
[01:59.58]I can't change the past but a man's gotta man up
[02:04.65]It's hard to believe
[02:07.37]**** sometimes I get the best of me
[02:10.18]Now I'm doing what I can but I'm a man not a damn chump
[02:16.42]I can say it if you need but I'd rather let the ink bleed
[02:22.49]Mega church leaders sleeping with male hookers
[02:25.64]Mayors hitting with their cookers
[02:28.47]Each week a crooked politician gets caught
[02:30.96]We're not shocked when they're cheaters
[02:32.04]These days we're shocked when they're not
[02:33.63]Are they the person you thought
[02:35.36]If they're perfect and hot
[02:36.61]Often we blame the victim scoff and they deserve what they got
[02:39.68]Actors sweep it under the rug and resume with the plot
[02:42.56]But they're amateurs and we can see the boom in the shot
[02:45.49]If perception is reality then this could be a shocker
[02:48.55]I've done my share things that didn't get on gawker
[02:51.07]Lots of tiny indiscretions way beyond the public eye
[02:54.20]That if you saw would probably out me as a complicated guy
[02:57.00]Mike says you got to separate the person from the art
[03:00.13]But if the arts about that person you can't pull them apart
[03:02.39]So you better watch the choices that you're making now because
[03:06.12]They are something that matter they're the only thing that does
[03:09.24]Everything they say conflicts with everything I do
[03:11.74]But I must admit I did it so I guess it might be true
[03:14.86]Everything they say conflicts with everything I do
[03:17.62]But I must admit I did it so I guess it might be true
[03:20.86]Everything they say conflicts with everything I do
[03:23.48]But I must admit I did it so I guess it might be true
[03:26.67]Everything they say conflicts with everything I do
[03:29.36]But I must admit I did it so I guess it might be true
