The absolute truth, yeah I'm no joke
Who me, I emerge from the crack smoked (yeah)
In the hearts of those who grind with Oβ€²s (O's)
They feel my pain, they at my shows (jeah)
Thatβ€²s why I got this glass pot and this triple beam (what)

Once upon a time, I used to grind all night (grind all night)

The game flows through my veins, man I canβ€²t understand it
Infatuation with the birds, I watch Animal Planet (ha ha)
My life's a motion picture in Dolby Digital (ay)
Tree raiser and the scale it was digital
Calculate my every step, Iβ€²m a mathematician
Make them pigeons disappear, I'm a damn magician (yeah)
A .40 cal, rubberbands, and a shoebox (jeah)
Run through a hundred grand watching Matlock (ay)
Got it by the truckload, like the bread people (jeah)
I got a Sixth Sense, I stack dead people (thatβ€²s right)
I'm talking Grants and Jacksons
Swear it took a whole hour just to count the Jacksons (ay)

These are more than words, this is more than rap
This is the streets and I am the trap




Standing ovation
Standing ovation
