The Ring

It's been 7 years, man
I left at the height of my career, man and I'm coming back
It's like I'm starting all over again
It don't matter what I did before, man
This the music business, man. You're only as hot as your last hit
Everybody like, "Yo, can he get another ring?"

100 million records, all the work I put in
All they wanna know is will I get another ring, yeah
Will I get another win
All they wanna know is will I get another ring

They smile in my face, behind my back, they hate us
But like Bernie Mac said, I ain't scared of you motherfuckers
Little Haiti to Sicily, Big Pun was a friend to me
Fat Joe, he call me literally, put me on a track instantly
Caribbean connection put me all the way up
What goes up must go down, so Thugga pick me up
Ay, that's what I call that street cred
Take your chance in the lobby, you gon' meet them Zoe dreads
Chef Curry, me and Khaled go back
So far back, boy shottas, man, he had the 6 pack
And I'm back with the tribe on a quest to go harder
So hard, you gon' think I'm all 3 Carters
Why haters wanna doubt that I'm Luke with the Force
Man, they kids got the scores, screamin' too much hot tours

100 million records, all the work I put in
All they wanna know is will I get another ring, yeah
Will I get another win
All they wanna know is will I get another ring

And the A stand for Alpha and Omega
And the B stand for Bury You, that's what I'm known to do to rappers
C stands for Chance, once you take it guard your shit
DEF, is the squad, boy, read my lips
G is General from Haiti, make my day
I stood in my J's, in front of that K
And for me to take a L, it's gon' take MN
What's that? Mother Nature with them strong winds
And oh, my Peace Productions like the Q
As in Quincy when he did that Thriller, Michael Jackson blew
And this is who we are, STU
Abbreviation for the studio, I kill it in the booth
And the V, be very careful when you watchin' shottas
The W could turn to her and that's murder for hire
By the window, light X, don't ask why
I ain't takin' no Zs 'cause the clan's outside

100 million records, all the work I put in
All they wanna know is will I get another ring, yeah
Will I get another win
All they wanna know is will I get another ring

Bean me up Scottie, I'm on that antidote
That Broccoli that D.R.A.M gave me got me movin' slow mo
This big, I'm countin' my blessings like I'm Sean
See the Future with my Jimmy Hendrix shades on
Haters wanna doubt and thought that I forgot my scales
That's like Iron Mike forgettin' he trainin' got skills
Vic hit me on the jack, told me he mad
Wiz Khalifa paper plane'll have you feel glad

100 million records, all the work I put in
All they wanna know is will I get another ring, yeah
Do I rap or will I sing?
All they wanna know is will I get another ring
Oh, I'mma get another ring
Oh, I'mma get another ring
From my mouth to God, yeah
We gon' get another ring, hey
We gon' get another ring
I'mma get another win
We gon' get another ring
