Watch em front on me Watch em front on me Watch em front on me When they wanna move Watch em front on me Watch em front on me Watch em front on me When they wanna move Watch em front on me Watch em front on me Watch em front on me When they wanna move Watch em front on me Watch em front on me Watch em front on me When they wanna move Waxing poetics with a clear flow Watch the wave from the pier while your ears blow I been on this tier but my years show Front on my frontiers, while you peer I been here, taking waves from these buccaneers With a mere float Acting shady but loving it Man I groove put the crud in it Humming too, cussing too But not plugging it You keep to hating I use the hooks and lines no need for bait No need to look blind when you rate You been bumping me lately Learnt the words with your chest You been curbing my sets Daily you urge to play me But won't pay me respect But won't lace me a check First you play then reject the knowledge of me Only scholars with me Only brothers with black cards in their wallets with me High rollers and money folders with promise with me Stack holders and black chauffeurs in rovers with me Who's colder than me? Watch em front on me Watch em front on me Watch em front on me When they wanna move Watch em front on me Watch em front on me Watch em front on me When they wanna move Watch em front on me Watch em front on me Watch em front on me When they wanna move Watch em front on me Watch em front on me Watch em front on me When they wanna move They want more material See the games passed out, getting more material See my names passed out like something venereal Keeping me under wraps Sleeping on thorough tracks Believe I got energy incessantly on my cash Toast alone to my pedigree Rose to thrones with no embassy Microphone been my weaponry what Think my pen just be hot Call it fluke when everything I write tends to be hot In the end what we got They bite like Tyson, you busy doing the hyping Busy queuing for miming, busy avoiding my kind Waiting for co-signings Give you a close line if I go over your head Even for woke minds it might go over your head I was in limbo, schizo Window to my soul for raising the bar Working on my range Got deranged, I stayed in my yard Making power plays, hit the stage Embraced for the class Watch em front on me Watch em front on me Watch em front on me When they wanna move Watch em front on me Watch em front on me Watch em front on me When they wanna move Watch em front on me Watch em front on me Watch em front on me When they wanna move Watch em front on me Watch em front on me Watch em front on me When they wanna move Knock the door off hinges You'll get more from the fringes I've been raw from the cause No hitting pause when I'm in this I've been living more, dripping more Now go on tell me another rapper you digging more Who you biggin more I'm who you spinning more Spinning more when you mind your business I ain't phased If you give me pay in plays and don't give me praise That ain't what gimme faith My minds busy Keeps the shades on my face whenever the shine hits me It's a chase for a place, I was tryna get sick Then I tried to get big Then I tried to get rich Then I just went do me No ones taking my place No ones setting my pace No ones egging my race I been on one They say we got one Coz they do be doing it one time riding shotgun Imma make you question your faith like a hot nun I've been on this from early days, why I got some Not one Watch em front on me Watch em front on me Watch em front on me When they wanna move...
