lyrics

Intro:
I'll probably have to plan my own funeral,
get stuck trying to write my own eulogy,
stand up and take a bow at the memorial,
the crematory won't know what to do with me.
How many times did I trust you?
How many lies did I adjust to?
Fooled me twice that's shame on me.
Everything ain't how I planned but c'est la vie.
You do the same old things, you get the same result.
I'm tired of hearing people say the words "it ain't my fault".
Took a little time but I figured it out,
you want something done right gotta do it yourself.

Chorus:
I bought my brother a book, it just sits on the shelf.
I bought my woman some wheels and she just sits at the house.
Drove my homie to school til the day he dropped out,
can't help a man if he can't help himself.

Verse 1:
No such shit as comin' up quick, you get what you give.
If you're expecting to win start thinking again, get back in the gym.
I'm Bobby Boucher, see who got the ball and I'm tacklin' him.
It's simple enough; you wanna survive you gotta be tough.
Makin' money's a must. I make it my self 'cause who can I trust?
The best of the bunch, eat a rapper for breakfast the rest are for lunch.
I'm second to none. Runnin' it like it's second and one.
Just hand me the rock. I'm rockin the mic, my hand on my jock.
Need a bucket and mop. I'm cleanin' up house and settin' up shop.
The cream of the crop. Swam outta the milk and came to the top.
Like it or not, it only kind of matters to me, but not enough to let you take advantage of me.
I lost a lot of blood in the struggle.
All these jobs that I juggle just to get dragged through puddles.
Think I've finally solved the puzzle; I just had too many pieces.
Lost a little baggage now my chances are increasing.

Bridge:
As of recent I've been doing work for somebody else.
I just got a paycheck and that paycheck bounced.
Rather be my own boss, Fuck this, I'm out.
Want something done right, gotta do it yourself.

Hook

Verse 2:
Everything ends. Nobody lives forever.
It's now or never for me, you can't name a better emcee.
I'm something you never have seen yet, and I mean that.
Woke up out of my weed nap as a new man with a new plan.
You want me to fail? Well, too bad.
Two hands, two feet, one mic like Nas said.
I'm a God-send. Knock off that nonsense.
Raise up your consciousness and learn the concept of rockin' concerts.
Your hits do not hurt, they're not hits, your not shit other than obnoxious.
I'm monstrous, rambunctious when I'm at these functions.
A man among these munchkins, pardon this interruption.
Why would I not trust my instincts knowing all of this?
Those who know me know, the rest don't even know that I exist,
but I'm patient. Preparing for the perfect situation,
taking proper precaution. I had dead weight so I lost it, feels awesome.
I can handle all of it, knew it all along, I just finally acknowledged it.

I'll probably have to plan my own funeral.
Stand up and take a bow at the memorial.

Chorus
