Note To Self (feat. Playmakin Yella & Versa)

See sometimes man it's like um We have to take a moment to remind ourselves Like why we are even doing this shit in the first place Even now man I'm in the lab I'm just Putting the final touches on another tape Realest of the real still feel like they love to hate Must be careful in this field Filled with nothing but them snakes Label you a great I bet you still get shoved away I've been gone for a while having second thoughts But the skills I possess something I haven't lost Paid the cost but the price came with tax Music with substance I would like to bring it back They say I'm outdated this a young nigga game See they kissing ass what you done for the fame Nigga's selling souls spending funds on a chain Just to get robbed by them guns that they aim Forever bringing flames and I do that shit constantly What the f*ck else do these motherfuckers want from me A catch 22 it's like you win when you're lost Drop 50 something albums nigga then we can talk Straight up A quick reminder this a note to myself Don't call it quits cause you know it won't help Yea you know it won't help Stay on ya grind trying to stack up that wealth Until the day a nigga take his last breath Till ya take ya last breath They want you gone but you're still in the game Bare ya soul they ain't feeling ya pain They ain't feeling ya pain Such a shame I ain't trying to complain Mane this shit will drive a nigga insane Ya feel me I'm the underground version of Kanye Been doing this shit since way back in the day Before I touched a drum pad I was on these rhymes Nigga's didn't even know I freestyled the whole fucking time I was thinking to myself man I can't be stopped Use to hustle all my cd's every time my tape dropped Trying to get the bigger picture And when I couldn't get the bigger picture I just poured up a cup of liquor with some swishers Trying to get my vibe right and if I couldn't I played the bitch 40 times all night Just riding in a circle with the street lights Vibin' with these motherfucking loud pipes Roaring in my heavy Chevy back in the D F*ck a bitch in the back seat and then I'm back on these beats Could've been on Def Jam probably made me a star But I'm a Underground King and my music belong to me A quick reminder this a note to myself Don't call it quits cause you know it won't help Yea you know it won't help Stay on ya grind trying to stack up that wealth Until the day a nigga take his last breath Till ya take ya last breath They want you gone but you're still in the game Bare ya soul they ain't feeling ya pain They ain't feeling ya pain Such a shame I ain't trying to complain Mane this shit will drive a nigga insane Ya feel me Sophomore year but I spit it like a vet Yall nigga's gotta know that we up next We considered as a threat We done hung around nigga's that'll polka dot ya chest So nigga wear a vest Music got me stressed So I'm smooth sailing in my whip new girl starting to trip I ain't pressed about a comment nigga So don't trip yall nigga's get a grip Yall rappers stay fronting on the gram but never stay equipped These lyrics that I have come with ammunition That nigga Flame been a OG in the Bany But yall don't get it You say you for the city but you won't support your local artist Man I don't get it Versatile what you on I just stayed low smoking shit We the realest of the real ain't no way around it bitch Versa Ain't no way around it Da to Ga A quick reminder this a note to myself Don't call it quits cause you know it won't help Yea you know it won't help Stay on ya grind trying to stack up that wealth Until the day a nigga take his last breath Till ya take ya last breath They want you gone but you're still in the game Bare ya soul they ain't feeling ya pain They ain't feeling ya pain Such a shame I ain't trying to complain Mane this shit will drive a nigga insane Ya feel me LL Cool J speaks
