You know I got plots and plans to expand gotta stand strong Thoughts that ran long got me thinking that the plan's wrong But then it ran right; showed me that I can fight Through the light You aware I knew that I was damned right I am somebody who overcomes adversity Always recognizing that somebody got it worse than me That ain't about keeping another man Down cause another man down is a tragedy That will be averted when I word it clearly Persevere the attempts to cop me I got the vision I don't merely see another copy Of the plans and the plots from another Man hoping he can stand but he can't stop I'm not seeing any bars that can hold me And not believing anyone who ever told me I should hold back So I'm presenting you the cold facts Testified on the record and I sold racks I rock When I rock Nonstop Never stop Got the plans and the plots Got the pans and the pot Now we cooking with grease So you gotta cease and desist I resist temptaion Avoid that Negativity in my circle Destroy that Planned for the battle at hand I deployed that For forty days was tested Forty-first I rested I got a lot of options but they not fully vested Present my side of the story in any category Eff the fame I just wanna to reclaim the glory Like MJ at forty I'm still looking to score Do me right, I am not the droid that you're looking for Emcees galore I ignore the distractions On this sliperry slope with no traction reaction Expected sequestered Like jury conversation Like christmas atticus I like to shop for liberations Rather waiting and debating, rules of the game I refuse to lose, use both sides of the brain.

Some might mean mug Mostly show love When we come through above all These cornball emcees that we ran through Deja vu we reminiscing golden years up to the present Hip-hops the element emcees then with the essence Present tense, I'm sorry Future encoded, downloaded Now-a-days we're on computers from my npcs to windows xp, Repping hip-hop beatifully Something lovely, bubbly flows from cup to cup Pounds go round and that's what's up When it goes down, we're the last men standing Beatdowns were handed like a late pass 'Cause I got this calm demeanor Lots of these cats keep gassing like a figure-4 leg lock Making the pain insane until your head rots. Better not go on the deep end DJ records spins the next stop Get up, stand up Then put your hands up And lose your mind like your man's up Because
