Started in the game, called myself a real hustler, far from deserving, they smacked me a muffler Made me tougher, made me stronger, made me wiser, buff like Steiner, blow up like the geysers Battled in wars, in hindsight, was petty, bumped up my intellect, back then, I wasn't ready Nowadays, they sounding super similar, same ass song with the simpler signature How you work that damn hard, not to ever change? Body still big, but I broke out the cage R.I.P. to that shit before 20-10, changing day in, day out, all again Far from the former wires, some of the mental, now you're gone, like the vibes of the instrumental 2020, I hit the bigger doubles, Full Circle living, so I hit the bigger hustles Big by design, but I shine on the front line Born for my destiny, fit for my own time Best under danger, flames in the hangar, breakin’ out the daggers, fire from the chamber Big by design, but I shine on the front line Born for my destiny, fit for my own time Best under danger, flames in the hangar, breakin’ out the daggers, fire from the chamber I see a lot, hear a lot, rarely gotta speak, bad puns get a wink like it’s tongue in cheek They get to talkin’ bout the scene, wondering “How come?” Y’all ain’t peep the gems I dropped last album Everybody claim they different, yet, they sound the same, me and LowY touch down, we make a new lane Seen em come, seen em go, wastin’ all the talent, same muhfuckas talkin, shit – they used to have it Flounderin like fish, fresh out the water, refuse to take the same fate, never for dishonor Why would I bother when they never took me serious? Who’s still here? Who left from weariness Talkin’ everything, soccer to the Oscars, chillin' on a roster, settle for the dollars My impact here? Let me say it again – you gotta BEAT the man to get to BDa, Man Big by design, but I shine on the front line Born for my destiny, fit for my own time Best under danger, flames in the hangar, breakin’ out the daggers, fire from the chamber Big by design, but I shine on the front line Born for my destiny, fit for my own time Best under danger, flames in the hangar, breakin’ out the daggers, fire from the chamber Flounder by the way side, come and go like corner stores, many came, many went, keepin' up is such a bore Count em on the floor like them cheap ass 1 cents, punks tried to step with them poo butt ass threats Who you think you talkin to? Don't let shit sway ya. Send ya with Jerome, far to the Himalayas No one is exempt, ain't a damn soul stopping me, miss me with the fuckery, please skip the mockery Talkin' a different language, no Rosetta Stone necessary, thought they was permanent, were only temporary Now, they actin' scary, only comment on the weird shit, never share my wins, steady standing on that weirdness Add up all the shots and the bars, you get it! Shoutout to the ones who parted ways and split it Made me tougher, made me stronger, made me better - when I blowuptuate? I don't need em...forever Big by design, but I shine on the front line Born for my destiny, fit for my own time Best under danger, flames in the hangar, breakin’ out the daggers, fire from the chamber Big by design, but I shine on the front line Born for my destiny, fit for my own time Best under danger, flames in the hangar, breakin’ out the daggers, fire from the chamber

Ten toes down, so I'm runnin' down a dream, Wide 13s got me livin' out a theme Two sides, the gemini, I'm one man, many names, many fames, through these lands Somethin' like Luigi Pirandello, some think I'm mellow, others think I bellow I can't keep straight, what you may make, let me get it narrow, royal blue like a Pharaoh Set free to be me, release the heat - chips back on my back, I'm not beat Run the one-man gauntlet among my beings, don't give many greetings, cause of my many feelings For the simple minds?

Catch me with the Speed of Sound, all around town with the ladies Please don’t mess with the ladies, don’t mess with the vibes, we ain’t really tryin’a catch you outside If I see you and don’t speak? We ain’t on that level for you to see me breathe Catch your breath like you catch these lefts, catch these rights like faded nights That’s black & blue like it’s gone corrupt, that’s enforcement with zero fucks Did I get too real? Did I get too political? Wake up, y’all – it ain’t so simple Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race Get these fools up out my face!

Looks so reassuring Like Tropicana, I got all the juice! Chains off, time to let the dog loose When it's time, I gather all my troops, take the losses, begin to recoup The homie said, "Small Wins Over Time", try to balance it out with some overtime The rest say, "Work smarter, not harder", try to maintain focus, never stray & wander Wanting wishes like Cosmo and Wanda, when the day go by, huh - I sit and wonder Bout the sky, deluxe apartment, how I can get it, with the fancy garments Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race

People want spectacular, they want the strong vernaculars, so they can get the bids for capacitors With the flux & bucks in? That’s self-destruction! All in your system for combustion They ain’t got the spark of spirit, no compassion with it, not the love up in it Need a little bit of understanding, need a little bit of independence, in a world full of dependence Hold your stance, take your pride, breathe in, breathe out - never let them take you out The room full of suits and big ties, can never ever ever take out this big guy Got the Rage like de la Rocha, I explode fast like a supernova They don’t care about the vision, they wanna poach your minutes, doing what’s best for the business Down with the machine!

If you don't like it, learn to love it, eternal like flames, running through my veins Everything rearranged, past 15 or so, hold up - let me break down a manifesto I intend to alter all perception, get more complex, something like inception Unspoken thoughts are my lyrical expression, come at y'all with the Ruthless Aggression Down with the machine!

Let’s talk eye to eye, full hand, one on one, bring it to the table or it might be fatal Or it might be wise, for us cutting down time, playing to the weaknesses of the other side Who’s right & who’s wrong? Who’s the one who winning? Who’s the one who losing – all is so amusing I can’t work the Miracles like Smokey, you gon’ have to give me some more time if you want the win slowly. Or I can dish the Big L, put it on and on, add another L, ladies love DaRonn They want the planes and trains for the escape, want some more food, so they can hold they fate But I’m’a pose a question, with another open-ended, your time is my time, simply – extended I flip the switch like the tables, do you want the lights turned low or the sound disabled And let’s try to negotiate, let’s try to negotiate Let’s try to negotiate, let’s try to negotiate Oh! Let’s try to negotiate, let’s try to negotiate Oh! Let’s try to negotiate, let’s try to negotiate Too many "Nos" and not the "Yeses", try to take them all in, like life lessons But I'm sittin' stressin', steady stagnant with some swords, tryin'a take my time, tactical tasks - workin' towards Better future, better path, better roots, ditch the old shit, eat more fruits Shit, I am far from perfect, hunger for the new ways, tryin'a feel the power, something like The New Day Power of positivity - bounce round like tennis, stay up sometimes, south like Memphis Aiming for the crown - Jerry "The King" Lawler, unsung hero like The Brooklyn Brawler I could - wish I was taller like Skee-Lo in '95, 24 years later, I'm sayin I feel alive Tell me "No" 3 times? Working at my best. Throw up the index, Daniel Bryan with the Yes! And let’s try to negotiate, let’s try to negotiate Let’s try to negotiate, let’s try to negotiate Oh! Let’s try to negotiate, let’s try to negotiate Oh! Let’s try to negotiate, let’s try to negotiate I hear the footsteps in the dark, changes sound like basses from the quietest of parks The flock wonder why I never come through, why I never come by, success is the appetite Said it before: ain't no room for the drama and the baggage, shit you can't salvage Mom and pop taught me how to dodge that shit, years go by, ain't never changed that shit! Been subtracting people more, adding very few, multiply my focus, divvy down the crew How you bringin ruckus when I reflect it like mirrors? This is why I rock with very few, little peers Little cheers and fanfare like leprechauns, give complex talk outside my lexicon When the shades are on, shit gets dangerous, day to day life got me goin' through them changes Through them changes And let’s try to negotiate, let’s try to negotiate Let’s try to negotiate, let’s try to negotiate Oh! Let’s try to negotiate, let’s try to negotiate Oh! Let’s try to negotiate, let’s try to negotiate
