73 False Prophets
[00:11.07] Somebody shoulda told me it would be like this
[00:13.79] Be like this, be like this
[00:16.98] Somebody shoulda told me it would be like this
[00:20.44] Yeah, life is a balance
[00:22.59] You lose your grip, you can slip into an abyss
[00:24.73] No doubt you see these niggas trippin'
[00:26.58] Ego in charge of every move, he's a star
[00:28.97] And we can't look away
[00:30.04] Due to the days that he caught our hearts
[00:31.89] He's falling apart, but we deny it
[00:34.02] Justifying that half-ass shit he dropped, we always buy it
[00:37.47] When he tell us he a genius but it's clearer lately
[00:40.12] It's been hard for him to look into the mirror lately
[00:42.52] There was a time when this nigga was my hero, maybe
[00:45.43] That's the reason why his fall from grace is hard to take
[00:47.83] 'Cause I believed him when he said his shit was purer and he
[00:50.75] The type of nigga swear he real but all around him's fake
[00:53.14] The women, the dickriders, you know, the yes men
[00:55.57] Nobody with the balls to say somethin' to contest him
[00:58.50] So he grows out of control
[01:00.09] Into the person that he truly was all along, it's startin' to show
[01:03.81] Damn, wonder what happened
[01:05.16] Maybe it's my fault for idolizing niggas
[01:07.28] Based off the words they be rappin'
[01:09.18] But come to find out, these niggas don't even write they shit
[01:11.83] Hear some new style bubblin' up, then they bite the shit
[01:14.49] Damn, that's what I get for lyin' to myself
[01:16.87] Well, fuck it, what's more important is he's cryin' out for help
[01:19.53] While the world's eggin' him on, I'm beggin' him to stop
[01:21.92] And playin' his old shit, knowin' he won't top it, false prophets

[01:48.62] He want the fame, the acclaim, the respect that's been had
[01:51.27] By all the legends, so every time I see him, he stressing
[01:54.20] Talking 'bout, niggas don't fuck with him, the shit is depressing
[01:56.57] And I know he so bitter he can't see his own blessings
[01:59.23] Goddamn, nigga, you too blind to see you got fans, nigga
[02:02.47] And a platform to make a classic rap song
[02:04.89] To change a nigga's life, but you too anxious living life
[02:07.55] Always worried 'bout the critics who ain't ever fucking did it
[02:10.20] I write what's in my heart, don't give a fuck who fucking with it
[02:12.88] But in a sense I can relate, the need to be great
[02:15.53] Turns into an obsession and keeps a nigga up late
[02:17.92] Writin' words, hopin' people observe the dedication
[02:20.84] That stirs in you constantly, but intentions get blurred
[02:23.76] Do I do it for the love of the music or is there more to me?

[02:52.02] They talk about being a man so much
[02:53.61] I finally understand that they ain't even sure
[02:55.74] 'Bout who they are and why they do this
[02:57.59] Guess I'm included in that category
[02:59.45] As a nigga who done had the glory
[03:01.57] My highest moments come from telling all the saddest stories
[03:03.97] I've seen in my life, I be fiendin' to write
[03:06.10] Songs that raise the hair on my arms
[03:07.95] My lowest moments came from trying too hard
[03:09.81] To impress some niggas that couldn't care if I'm on
[03:12.24] Therefore from here on out, my hair grow out
[03:14.89] I care nothin' bout opinions
[03:17.01] I wanna give hope like the fountains you throw pennies in
[03:19.67] Hit the store, take your diss, make your wish
[03:22.06] This is dedicated to the ones
[03:23.95] Who listen to me on some faithful shit
