(Handwriting's on the wall) Yeah, on the wall I'ma keep drinking til they toss me out this man
1] Excuse my of voice but today was just a bad day Label hit me about another single and said I had play Since Country Sh*t, hell they thought that was a regional anyway But thank God for Bun B and because they had faith That sh*t would off and it did, guess I was too country to quit I make albums not hits, these rich folks don't know this But that's cool, I'm back to K.R.I.T. Wuz Here Pray to God this was for me, a king to be Hoping my time was Maybe I'm rapping in vain, this wasn't my lane Maybe I'm hurting myself, talking 'bout real life of the fame How can I change? Shawty I I think I'm wasting time On the phone with my pops like, "I just save some lives" I just want a deuce to ride the ones I was dealt My pride be my downfall, but I ain't asking for help I wear my heart on my sleeve, run into me cuz it bleeds No disrespect to your craft, but I make my own the handwriting.
(The on the wall...) Man the Hennessy do something to a man sometimes that sh*t... I can't hold back, you feel me?
2] First quarter got me like water with soda in it my project in the pot watch it lock up like those in prison Gotta prove people wrong that don't see the vision Three nominations, number one on 106, hell I to mention Two free albums label support my publicist cuz I forgot what I was paying him for Drunk til I'm conscious, call Johnny him put y'all on 3-way immediately Cuz I'm sick of being lied to and I'm war Then I'm back to Sippi-land and I'm quitting rap Ain't bad cuz when I was poor, hell I was fat and happy Dealing the critics and the comments got me trippin' Like my accent and my tone it really hard to listen I was but I was driven before the politics came Lynching rappers and dropping albums, and em hang I pushed back with fear that they might just do me the same Cuz I I might get shelved, but that's part of the game Hell, the handwriting...
(The on the wall...) right it's on the wall I take this sh*t man is my life, this all I've ever known This all I'll ever do and I promise to God I let nobody it from me
3] I did it for all of and all of yours Ten toes in the game I'm in I'm bound to if I'm living in sin If I play to win will I it out? I'm tired of feeling my heart I just wanna scrape it out This the less traveled, sh*t I just gotta stay the route I hear the hate and all the I just gotta phase it out another shot, better chase it down with a glass of Crown Put that on my tab, I'm doing bad Cuz all I've ever known, sh*t, all I've ever had Tryna say something, tryna do something, be better Ain't much left, I gotta make do, I can't live forever Ain't that makes me me? No smoke and no mirrors And I don't even wear Loc's, so can see me clear And you can say that I'm but tell me if I'm trippin' They stick their noses up and down on Mississippi Imagine how you'd feel to know you hard, and you educated And they treat you like you never it The handwriting...
(The handwriting's on the wall, final curtain's about to ain't no feelings left at all, the handwriting, on the wall)
