1] Excuse my tone of voice but was just a bad day Label hit me another single and said I ain't had play Since Country Sh*t, hell they thought that was a record anyway But thank God for Bun B and Ludacris because had faith That would take off and it did, guess I was too country to quit I make albums not hits, these rich don't know about this But cool, I'm back to that K.R.I.T. Wuz Here Pray to God this was meant for me, a to be Hoping my was near Maybe I'm in vain, maybe this wasn't my lane Maybe I'm hurting myself, talking real life instead of the fame How can I change? I swear 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 with the I was dealt My might be my downfall, but I ain't asking for help I wear my heart on my sleeve, don't run 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 n*gga man that sh*t... I just can't hold back, you me?
2] First got me like boiling water with soda in it Drop my project in the pot it lock up like those in prison Gotta prove these people wrong that see the vision Three nominations, number one on 106, hell I forgot to Two free albums minus support Fired my publicist cuz I what I was paying him for til I'm barely conscious, call Johnny tell him put y'all on 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 that bad cuz when I was poor, I was fat and happy Dealing with the critics and the comments got me Like my accent and my tone make it really hard to I was scarred but I was driven the politics came Lynching rappers and albums, and watching em hang I pushed mine back with fear that they might do me the same Cuz I rebel I might get shelved, but that's part of the Hell, the handwriting...
(The on the wall...) Goddamn it's on the wall I take this sh*t man This is my life, this all ever known all I'll ever do and I promise to God I won't let nobody take it me
