Wuz Here Pray to God this was for me, a king to be Hoping my time was Maybe I'm rapping in vain, maybe this wasn't my Maybe I'm hurting myself, talking 'bout real life of the fame How can I change? Shawty I swear I I'm wasting time On the phone with my pops like, "I just wanna some lives" I want a deuce to ride with the ones I was dealt My pride might be my downfall, but I asking for help I my heart on my sleeve, don't run into me cuz it bleeds No to your craft, but I make my own beats the handwriting.

2] First quarter got me like boiling with soda in it Drop my project in the pot watch it lock up like those in Gotta prove these people that don't see the vision nominations, number one on 106, hell I forgot to mention Two free albums 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 immediately Cuz I'm of being lied to and I'm waging war Then I'm going to Sippi-land and I'm quitting rap Ain't that bad cuz when I was poor, hell I was fat and with the critics and the comments got me trippin' Like my accent and my tone make it hard to listen I was scarred but I was driven before the came Lynching rappers and dropping albums, and em hang I pushed mine back fear that they might just do me the same Cuz I rebel I get shelved, but that's part of the game Hell, the handwriting...

No smoke and no And I don't wear Loc's, so they can see me clear And you can say that I'm bitter but me if I'm trippin' They their noses up and talk down on Mississippi Imagine how feel to know you work hard, and you educated And they treat you like you made it The handwriting...
