1] Excuse my tone of but today 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 regional anyway But thank God for Bun B and Ludacris because they had That would take off and it did, guess I was too country to quit I make albums not hits, these rich folks know about this But that's cool, I'm back to K.R.I.T. Wuz Here to God this was meant for me, a king to be Hoping my time was Maybe I'm rapping in vain, maybe wasn't my lane Maybe I'm hurting myself, 'bout real life instead of the fame How can I change? Shawty I swear I think I'm wasting On the phone with my pops like, "I just wanna save lives" I just a deuce to ride with the ones I was dealt My might 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 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 hold back, you feel me?
2] First quarter got me boiling water with soda in it Drop my project in the pot watch it lock up like those in 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 Fired my publicist cuz I forgot I was paying him for Drunk til I'm 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 going back to and I'm quitting rap Ain't that bad cuz when I was poor, hell I was fat and 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 Lynching and dropping albums, and watching em hang I pushed mine back with fear that they might just do me the Cuz I rebel I might get shelved, but part of the game Hell, the handwriting...
(The on the wall...) Goddamn right it's on the I take this seriously man This is my life, this all I've ever all I'll ever do and I promise to God I won't let nobody it from me
3] I did it for all of mine and all of Ten deep 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 my heart Lord I just wanna scrape it out This the road less traveled, I just gotta stay the route I the hate and all the betrayal I just gotta phase it out With another shot, better it down with a glass of Crown Put on my tab, yeah I'm doing bad Cuz music's all ever known, sh*t, all I've ever had say something, tryna do something, tryna be better Ain't much time left, I gotta make do, I live forever that what makes me me? No smoke and no mirrors And I don't even wear Loc's, so they can see me And you can say that I'm bitter but me if I'm trippin' stick their noses up and talk down on Mississippi Imagine how you'd feel to know you work hard, and you And they treat you you never made it The handwriting...
(The on the wall, final curtain's about to fall ain't no feelings left at all, the handwriting, on the wall)
