Free to do what I want
Free to live my own life
Getting it in everyday
Real hip hop real rap life y'all
Yeah this is my life
Race X in the fast lane
The rock way y'all
The best way yeah yeah yeah
I just woke up
A Nigga's head is filled with raps
Pitch fork out
Nigga my beard is so napped
I'm habitual ritual with the red flag
Nigga don't make me mad
Don't think cause I'm a dad
Be on you quick Nigga fast we kicking your ass
Peace offered none
I have fun attacking and smash
And I smoke the most dope and potentness grass
That's right you know a Nigga stay blowed
Race is back ain't got time got life to catch
I got troubles doubling and bubbling up through the cracks
I be the first to say it quick when I met my match
But I ain't met my match
I got a plane to catch
The people want what they want
Spin the wheel or they don't
I just do what I do well with intentions to flaunt
I burn your cheek with the tip of a red cherry blunt
This is the end of my verse
You can clap if you want
Clap if you want to
Clap if you want
Clap if you want to
Clap if you want
Clap if you want to
Clap if you want
Clap if you want to
Clap if you want
I'm hot now original everything I touch
Blacker than ever I'm coming through in a cobra clutch
I got my mission my mission is just to fuckin bust
I'm still feeling the rush
From the base and percussion
Now hush I feel the nuts goin come gushing
My time is now and shit this ain't no free admission
Time is short now shut the fuck up and listen
No recognition of the rules that we got missing
Now my own mind it got me locked inside of prison
The war inside me got me going in great division
And I swear it on my life there is only one reason
You heard I went to prison
No friends came to visit me and shit
Nigga ain't that a funky bitch
I'm in the shit of my life
My Nigga's just quit
And shit haven't heard I'm about to be rich
It's the end of my verse better clap to my ish
Clap if you want to
Clap if you want
Clap if you want to
Clap if you want
Clap if you want to
Clap if you want
Clap if you want to
Clap if you want
I'm from right out of Cali
I grew up quick
San Fernando Valley yes
Had many ke mo sah bees
Like on a fuckin list
I'm locked fist to fist
Wear my heart on my wrist
I bounced Nigga's up off these walls
For fuckin with this
I just wanted to fuck
They just wanted to kiss
I just wanted my story told
Let's reminisce
From the darkness into the light
Lord give me strength
Let's carry on welcome into Babylon
Where the bell will be rung
Better know where you from
Better know where you at
Better know where to run
Better know where to hide
Better call when you come
It looks like a good day to be the lighted ones
Other side of the velvet ropes
The excited ones
I keep spitting like I'm spitting
I'll be the tightest one
The most respected one
You can clap if you want
Clap if you want to
Clap if you want
Clap if you want to
Clap if you want
Clap if you want to
Clap if you want
Clap if you want to
Clap if you want
Clap if you want to
Clap if you want
Clap if you want to
Clap if you want
Clap if you want to
Clap if you want




Clap if you want to
Clap if you want

If I don't pick up the phone like I used to (for you)
Don't you take it personal
If I don't do all the things that I used to do (to you)
I ain't mad at you
If you get to feeling stressed up in your chest
Thinking that you about to lose
(Baby its true)
And if you losing out on sleep
On worrying about me
This how it be

If you don't know
Now you know you're gonna miss (my love)
And I ain't stressing bout a dog gone thing
'Cause I was true when I gave you (my love)
If you search you will never find another love like (my love)
You're gonna miss me
I ain't got time while you sit around and play with my (my love)

If you think I caught a feeling
When I heard about that other chick (no)
I already knew about it
I just needed time
Just to clear my mind
And ask myself
(why I didn't handle him)
If you would've taken care of home
Instead of leaving me alone
(I) still would be right there with you
Taking care of you
Instead of loving you
Like I used to do

If you don't know
Now you know you're gonna miss (my love)
And I ain't stressing bout a dog gone thing
'Cause I was true when I gave you (my love)
If you search you will never find another love like (my love)
You're gonna miss me
I ain't got time while you sit around and play with my (my love)

There once was a time
I blamed myself for what was wrong
(I can see so clearly now because you are gone)
That's how I spent all my time when you weren't home
(Playin' around with them raggedy heffers)
There'll be no more stressing
No more crying no more trying
I would rather be alone
(Id rather be all by myself yeah)
'Cause this valuable heart of mine
Was yours until I realized finally opened my eyes

You see ladies
I know I know better
What was I thinking?
He gon' miss me when I'm gone

If you don't know
Now you know you're gonna miss (my love)
And I ain't stressing bout a dog gone thing
'Cause I was true when I gave you (my love)
If you search you will never find another love like (my love)
You're gonna miss me
I ain't got time while you sit around and play with my (my love)
