i am not / a pattern to be followed
the pill that i'm on is a tough one to swallow
i'm not a criminal / not a role model
not a born leader i'm a tough act to follow
i am not / the fortune and the fame
nor the same person telling you to forfeit the game
i came in the ring like a dog on a chain
and i found out the underbelly's sicker than it seems
and it seems ugly / but it can get worse
'cause even a blueprint is a gift and a curse
'cause once you got a theory of how the thing works
everybody wants the next thing to be just like the first
and i'm not a robot
i'm not a monkey
i will not dance even if the beat's funky
opposite of lazy / far from a punk
ya'll ought to stop talking start trying to catch up motherfucker
and all the people say
trying to catch up motherfucker
lauryn said money change a situation
big said it increase the complication
kane said don't step / i ain't the one
chuck said that uzi weigh a motherfuckin' ton
and i'm just a student of the game that they taught me
rockin' every stage in every place that it brought me
i'm awfully underrated / but came here to correct it
and so it ain't mistaken i'ma state it for the record /
i am / the opposite of wack / opposite of weak
opposite of slack / synonym of heat
synonym of crack / closest to a peak
far from a punk
ya'll ought to stop talking / start trying to catch up motherfucker
and all the people say
oh / when they come for me
come for me
i'll be gone
