09 RE$IDUAL $ELF-IMAGE (feat. Ayanda
[00:00.66] Going off, going off
[00:04.66] Going off
[00:08.16] Hey, oh yeah (going off)
[00:13.44] Forgive me, I'm goin' off
[00:14.92] For all the non-believers who were there when I started off
[00:17.91] Ever since I made it, I ain't hear not a word from y'all
[00:20.68] I know that you pray, I fall
[00:22.16] You need a new prayer, dawg
[00:23.66] That's why I be going off
[00:25.16] Forgive me, I'm going off
[00:26.93] Fifty thousand for the night and I might just blow it all
[00:29.67] She riding with me for the night and I might just show her off
[00:33.66] They know when I arrive that I make the city small
[00:39.42] Yeah, yeah
[00:42.16] Two and two, yeah
[00:47.42] Acknowledgment without the accolades
[00:49.44] Still, I celebrate
[00:50.66] 'Cause any day could be the last time I hear this record play
[00:54.16] My heart is in a better place
[00:55.91] My mind is in a different state
[00:57.41] So I don't even care how much the records made
[01:00.18] How many lives can this record save?
[01:01.91] How many minds can it liberate?
[01:04.16] Feeling like I'm liable to make a change
[01:06.17] Here I stand, center stage
[01:07.67] As I take a leap of faith
[01:08.91] I let the music lead the way
[01:10.91] All that passion I put in the game
[01:12.92] All that credit that I never claim
[01:15.16] Yet I'm still amazed at how they're always finding ways
[01:17.92] To slander my name
[01:18.66] Life is a gamble, but
[01:20.41] Like old people at casinos dawg, I'm here to stay
[01:25.92] They know when I arrive that I make the city small
[01:30.17] Two and two, yeah
[01:34.66] This shit ain't a hobby, it's a lifestyle
[01:36.66] Niggas will tell you likewise
[01:38.41] I say niggas, referring mostly to my guys
[01:41.17] Nothing like those humble days when all I was to you
[01:43.67] Is just nothing more than a lifeline
[01:45.91] Niggas think they're brave enough to take mine
[01:47.92] I ain't never been the type to take five
[01:49.66] Especially when I'm behind enemy lines in position
[01:53.73] Minding my own business but niggas keep sniffing
[01:56.30] Impersonating a K9
[01:58.56] I keep telling my mother that I'ma make time
[02:01.05] Great things take time
[02:02.54] I'm on a mission
[02:03.80] Total demolition
[02:04.79] World domination
[02:06.04] Operation: fuck the system
[02:07.55] Niggas know we ain't kiddin' this side
[02:09.80] Niggas know ain't nothing killing the spirit this time, nigga
[02:12.30] Just keep that in mind
[02:14.55] A nigga like me keeps getting harder to find
[02:18.55] Told her a nigga like me keeps getting harder to find
[02:25.05] They know when I arrive that I make the city small
[02:39.56] Watch them hating, praying for my downfall
[02:42.29] Niggas catching feelings 'cause they know I walk tall
[02:47.30] They know when I arrive that I make the city small
[02:51.05] Watch them hating, praying for my downfall
[02:53.80] Niggas catching feelings 'cause they know I walk tall
[03:05.07] 'Cause everyday feels so right
[03:08.80] Is it really so hard to believe?
[03:13.29] Your clothes are different, the plugs in your arms and head are gone
[03:17.79] Your hair has changed, your appearance now is what we call: "Residual self-image"
[03:35.05] Yeah, they tried to blackball me
[03:37.79] But I'm still putting numbers on the boards
[03:40.55] You boys are only known for shaving points
[03:42.80] Like Paul on the longest yard
[03:45.30] I know you ain't who you think you are
[03:47.31] You a bad liar, stop trying hard
[03:50.14] Quit talking like you got priors
[03:52.05] You don't wanna start an uproar with the men I stand before
[03:56.02] These niggas got pride like a group of lions
[03:58.78] I'm in top form
[04:00.53] They won't admit I'm killing it on every platform
[04:03.28] You in the presence of a God, nigga
[04:05.78] Hold your applause
[04:07.29] If you gon' put your hands together
[04:09.30] You might as well send a prayer to the lord
[04:12.53] You hellbound, fucking with the boy
