I just - got through, goin through
This ordeal, dealin with deals,
I've dealt with, bein dealt dirty,
done double- paid my dues, for real
I just - know today's degree, C lesson
Not nowadays, can a record label fool me
So the understanding'll be
No need to guess how this
rocky road was meant to be
I just - got home from a long tour
Seashore to seashore, J- Live up the party
So, even if I'm unknown back
Step out of the time zone,
these folks came to see me!
I just - grab the mic, jump on the stage
hittin 'em with page after page of
Blood, sweat, tears, saliva, sperm, snot
Shit, piss, throw- up, everything I GOT!
I just - let it all out, give it all back
Like I got it, why? Cause I got it like that
I've been spotted by those
that recognize the fact that
God is still black and bullshit

DEECE, Y'ALL! (PEACE Y'ALL)
