1] Excuse my tone of voice but was just a bad day Label hit me about single and said I ain't had play Since Country Sh*t, hell they thought that was a regional record But thank God for Bun B and Ludacris they had faith That sh*t would off and it did, guess I was too country to quit I albums not hits, these rich folks don't know about this But that's cool, I'm to that K.R.I.T. Wuz Here to God this was meant for me, a king to be Hoping my was near Maybe I'm rapping in vain, maybe this wasn't my Maybe I'm hurting myself, talking 'bout real instead of the fame How can I change? Shawty I I think I'm wasting time On the phone with my pops like, "I just wanna some lives" I just want a deuce to ride the ones I was dealt My pride might be my downfall, but I ain't for help I wear my heart on my sleeve, don't run into me cuz it No to your craft, but I make my own beats the handwriting.
(The on the wall...) Man the Hennessy do something to a n*gga man sometimes sh*t... I just can't 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 those in prison Gotta these people wrong that don't see the vision Three nominations, one on 106, hell I forgot to mention Two albums minus 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 3-way Cuz I'm sick of being lied to and I'm war Then I'm going back to Sippi-land and I'm rap Ain't that bad cuz when I was poor, hell I was fat and Dealing with the critics and the got me trippin' Like my accent and my tone make it hard to listen I was but I was driven before the politics came Lynching rappers and albums, and watching em hang I pushed mine back fear that they might just do me the same Cuz I rebel I might get shelved, but that's of the game Hell, the handwriting...
(The on the wall...) right it's on the wall I take sh*t seriously man This is my life, this all ever known This all I'll ever do and I promise to God I let nobody take it me
3] I did it for all of and all of yours Ten deep in the game I'm in I'm to lose if I'm living in sin If I play to win will I make it I'm tired of feeling my heart Lord I just wanna it out This the road traveled, sh*t I just gotta stay the route I hear the hate and all the I just gotta phase it out With another shot, better it down with a glass of Crown Put that on my tab, I'm doing bad Cuz music's all I've known, sh*t, all I've ever had Tryna say something, tryna do something, tryna be much time left, I gotta make do, I can't live forever Ain't that what makes me me? No smoke and no 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' They stick their noses up and talk 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 handwriting's on the wall, curtain's about to fall Just no feelings left at all, the handwriting, on the wall)
