(Handwriting's on the wall) Yeah, on the wall keep drinking til they toss me out this motherf*cker man
1] Excuse my tone of but today was just a bad day hit me about another single and said I ain't had play Since Country Sh*t, they thought that was a regional record anyway But thank God for Bun B and Ludacris they had faith That sh*t would take off and it did, guess I was too country to I make albums not hits, rich folks don't know about 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 my time was near Maybe I'm in vain, maybe this wasn't my lane Maybe I'm hurting myself, talking 'bout life instead of the fame How can I change? I swear I think I'm wasting time On the phone with my like, "I just wanna save some lives" I want a deuce to ride with the ones I was dealt My might be my downfall, but I ain't asking for help I my heart on my sleeve, don't run into me cuz it bleeds No disrespect to craft, but I make my own beats the handwriting.
(The on the wall...) Man the do something to a n*gga man sometimes that sh*t... I just can't back, you feel me?
2] First quarter got me like boiling 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 minus label 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 3-way Cuz I'm sick of lied to and I'm waging war Then I'm going back to and I'm quitting rap that 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 make it really hard to I was but I was driven before the politics came rappers and dropping albums, and watching em hang I pushed mine back with fear that might just do me the same Cuz I rebel I get shelved, but that's part of the game Hell, the handwriting...
(The on the wall...) Goddamn right on the wall I this sh*t seriously man This is my life, all I've ever known all I'll ever do and I promise to God I won't let nobody take it me
3] I did it for all of mine and all of Ten deep in the game I'm in I'm bound to lose if I'm in sin If I play to win will I make it I'm tired of feeling my heart Lord I wanna scrape it out This the road less traveled, sh*t I just gotta stay the I hear the hate and all the betrayal I gotta phase it out With another shot, better chase it down with a of Crown Put that on my tab, I'm doing bad Cuz music's all I've ever known, sh*t, all ever had Tryna say something, do something, tryna be better Ain't much time left, I gotta make do, I can't live Ain't what 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 their noses up and talk down on Mississippi Imagine how you'd feel to know you work hard, and you And they treat you like you made it The handwriting...
(The handwriting's on the wall, final about to fall Just ain't no left at all, the handwriting, on the wall)
