plans
Mike Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I had to keep it all the way g like
Niggas can't fuck with me, for real, for real man
That's just how I feel like
Like if you look at the last few XXL Freshman covers man
I'll go get all that shit
Every last one of them, you know what I'm sayin' (yeah, yeah)
I'm just sayin' though, ah
I got plans to be great at this
And be known as a spiter, like Styles P and Jadakiss
I can picture me one day
In a cypher with consequence, common sense, and Kanye

If I was gettin' it in' way back then
I probably would have been a member of the Wu Tang clan
Or probably be the third member of the UGK
Or on nothin' but a G Thang with Snoop and Dre

Shit, I know I got what it take dog
All I ever wanted was a chorus from Nate Dogg
Real shit, sometimes I be thinkin' how I ain't make it yet
I know I'm way killer than Chingy

I know I'm better than mike jones and rawer than J-Quan
With the right push, I can be a dun like Big Pun
I'm tryna die a legend like Pimp C
I got plans for the industry

But until then, I'm 'a be thuggin' behind the project building's
Smokin' that fire weed with the ghetto children
Plottin' on a way that we can make a million (lord)
But until then, I'm 'a be thuggin' behind the project building's
Smokin' that fire weed with the ghetto children
Plottin' on a way that we can make a million (lord)

Call me crazy for what I'm finna say
But shit, I feel I would have stood in' the paint if Jay throwed me on renegade
See ain't scared of Eminem or the rest of them
I can trade bars with the best of them (yes sir)

If I was a star, when kendrick lamar dropped his verse to control
And tore these niggas apart, shit, I would have challenged him
Really tried to embarrass him show the world we the same caliber

Nigga I'm a cannibal
Better yet I'm a animal
Talkin' to the mirror like nigga they can not handle you
You know I keep a Glock like 50 a bop, like Diddy
A fat nigga with a swag you ain't seen since Biggie

Scratch that, you ain't seen it since Ricky
It's like I got buddy roe rhyme book and got it stuffed in' my dickies
I'm 'a be a legend in' the south like BG
I got plans for the industry

But until then, I'm 'a be thuggin' behind the project buildin'
Smokin' that fire weed with the ghetto children
Plottin' on a way that we can make a million (lord)
But until then, I'm 'a be thuggin' behind the project buildin'
Smokin' that fire weed with the ghetto children
Plottin' on a way that we can make a million (lord)

(Ha) man I'm tryna go live
Come with a message like grand master flash and the Furious Five
I'm tryna stand for somethin' like PAC did
Keep the shit real go to jail, just like the l.O.x. Did
Take it back to the streets like X did
Get rick and still keep it g like Trench did

Tryna keep 'em gas in' (?) Like 50
Represent my city to the fullest like trick did
Tryna come in' the game grindin' like clips did
Get paid in' full like Eric B and Rakim did
Tryin' to paint pictures just like Scarface did
Drop a whole lot of hits, just like Drake did

Tryna be like Master P ('bout it, 'bout it)
Be an outcast like Andre 3000
Tryin' to be remembered as a legend like Eazy-E
I got plans for the industry

But until then, I'm 'a be thuggin' behind the project buildings
Smokin' that fire weed with the ghetto children
Plottin' on a way that we can make a million (lord)
But until then, I'm 'a be thuggin' behind the project buildings




Smokin' that fire weed with the ghetto children
Plottin' on a way that we can make a million (lord)
