Full Metal Jacket
Kirk Knight Lyrics

Used to take shit to heart, nowadays real heartless
I used to let things affect me deeply, but now I am emotionally detached and unaffected by others.

All my blood, sweat, and tears
I have put in a lot of effort and hard work into my craft.

You can see that shit drippin' from the gauntlet
The evidence of my dedication and hard work is apparent.

Remember when people banked on my misfortune
There was a time when people hoped for and expected me to fail.

Money's still callin', pick up man it's urgent
Opportunities for financial gain are still present and need immediate attention.

Stuck in the cut like your boy was a surgeon
I am stuck in a difficult situation, similar to being trapped in a challenging surgical procedure.

Can't take advice, I'm allergic
I have a strong aversion to receiving advice from others.

Any permission slips, yeah, I just forge it
I disregard any need for permission and simply create my own path.

Knewin' my momma couldn't afford it
I was aware that my mother couldn't afford certain things for me.

In my mind, it cost a little extortion
I believed that obtaining those things required a steep price or sacrifice.

Knew what time it is, I had to stop watchin'
I understood the reality of my situation and stopped being passive.

Only food if you don't figure your portion
You will only receive your fair share if you take control and determine your own portion.

Introverted 'cause I don't do the gossip
I prefer to be alone and avoid engaging in meaningless rumors and gossip.

Caught a grip, I gotta make me a profit
I gained control over my circumstances and now strive to make a profit for myself.

Sleep on the benches and beds with the monsters
I have experienced sleeping in uncomfortable and dangerous places.

Sit straight, my nigga, good posture
Maintain good posture and composure in challenging situations.

I'm tired of grievin' and starvin'
I am exhausted from feeling grief and hunger.

I need to eat 'til I'm lethargic
I need to consume enough food to the point of feeling sluggish and lazy.

Fuck the world, I'm Mr. Marcus
I have a negative and rebellious attitude towards the world, adopting the persona of Mr. Marcus.

I been contemplating
I have been deeply reflecting and considering my thoughts and actions.

I been steady waiting
I have been patiently waiting for something to happen or change.

I became so heartless
I have become emotionally cold and indifferent.

Comparing oneself to the acclaimed filmmaker Stanley Kubrick.

A nigga been heartless (A nigga been heartless)
I have been emotionally detached and uncaring.

Don't make me prove it (Don't make me prove it)
Do not challenge me to demonstrate my lack of empathy or compassion.

Just sippin' the Activis
I am consuming a drink containing the drug codeine.

Now I'm the new Huey Newton (New Huey Newton)
Referring to becoming a prominent figure and leader like Huey Newton, a co-founder of the Black Panther Party.

See so much pain in these eyes, I think it be stainin' my pupils
My eyes reflect the immense pain I have experienced, causing a permanent effect on my vision.
