~#**************#~
We wasnt sposed to get past 25
~#**************#~
Jokes on you motherfucker, we alive
~#**************#~
All these niggas popping now is young
~#**************#~
Everybody say the music that they make is dumb
~#**************#~
I remember I was 18
~#**************#~
Money, pussy, parties, I was on the same thing
~#**************#~
You gotta give a boy a chance to grow some
~#**************#~
Everybody talkin like they know somethin these days
~#**************#~
Niggas actin woke, but they broke, umm
~#**************#~
I respect the struggle but you all frontin these days
~#**************#~
Man, they barely old enough to drive
~#**************#~
To tell them what they should do, who the fuck am I?
~#**************#~
I heard one of em diss me, Im surprised
~#**************#~
I aint trippin, listen good to my reply
~#**************#~
Come here lil man, let me talk with ya
~#**************#~
See if I can paint for you the large picture
~#**************#~
Congrats cause you made it out your mamas house
~#**************#~
I hope you make enough to buy your mom a house
~#**************#~
I see your watch icy and your whip foreign
~#**************#~
I got some good advice, never quit tourin
~#**************#~
‘Cause thats the way we eat here in this rap game
~#**************#~
Im fuckin with your funky lil rap name
~#**************#~
I hear your music and I know that raps changed
~#**************#~
A bunch of folks would say that thats a bad thing
~#**************#~
‘Cause everythings commercial and its pop now
~#**************#~
Trap drums is the shit thats hot now
~#**************#~
See, Ive been on a quest for the next wave
~#**************#~
But never mind, that was just a segue
~#**************#~
I must say, by your songs Im unimpressed, hey
~#**************#~
But I love to see a Black man get paid
~#**************#~
And plus, you havin fun and I respect that
~#**************#~
But have you ever thought about your impact?
~#**************#~
These white kids love that you dont give a fuck
~#**************#~
‘Cause thats exactly whats expected when your skin black
~#**************#~
They wanna see you dab, they wanna see you pop a pill
~#**************#~
They wanna see you tatted from your face to your heels
~#**************#~
And somewhere deep down, fuck it, I gotta keep it real
~#**************#~
They wanna be black and think your song is how it feels
~#**************#~
So when you turn up, you see them turnin up too
~#**************#~
You hit the next city, collect your money when its due
~#**************#~
You gettin that paper, swimmin in bitches, I dont blame you
~#**************#~
You aint thinkin bout the people thats lookin like me and you
~#**************#~
True, you got better shit to do
~#**************#~
You coulda bought a crib with all that bread that you done blew
~#**************#~
I know you think this type of revenue is never endin
~#**************#~
But I wanna take a minute just to tell you that aint true
~#**************#~
One day, them kids thats listening gon grow up
~#**************#~
And get too old for that shit that made you blow up
~#**************#~
Now your shows lookin light cause they dont show up
~#**************#~
Which unfortunately means the money slow up
~#**************#~
Now you scramblin and hopin to get hot again
~#**************#~
But you forgot you only popped cause you was ridin trends
~#**************#~
Now you old news and you goin through regrets
~#**************#~
‘Cause you never bought that house, but you got a Benz
~#**************#~
And a bunch of jewels and a bunch of shoes
~#**************#~
And a bunch of fake friends, I aint judgin you
~#**************#~
Im just tellin you whats probably gon happen when you rappin
~#**************#~
‘Bout the type of shit you rappin bout
~#**************#~
Its a faster route to the bottom
~#**************#~
I wish you good luck
~#**************#~
Im hoping for your sake that you aint dumb as you look
~#**************#~
But if its really true what people sayin
~#**************#~
And you call yourself playin with my name
~#**************#~
Then I really know you fucked, trust
~#**************#~
Ill be around forever cause my skills is tip-top
~#**************#~
To any amateur niggas that wanna get rocked
~#**************#~
Just remember what I told you when your shit flop
~#**************#~
In five years you gon be on Love & Hip-Hop, nigga
