How many brothers done suffered as much as I did? You see the pain whenever I lift my eyelid That’s why I’m not in the category as Talib I give you the greatest story ‘cause that’s what I lived When I say it’s pain in my life, that’s what I had Alright, so what, I have money now, why should I brag? In the hood, they still can’t afford iPads Who you know just goes and switch flows Like this, this the show, I have lyrics to go, you know It’s one thing when you’re just having fun with it Y’all taking that dumb shit and running with it [Hook] [Outro] “Plus I’m very smart” “Plus I’m very smart” “Plus I’m very smart” “Plus I’m very smart”
