"WORDS OF A KING (#BredToWin)"

I've been dreamin' all my life, it's 'bout time I fuckin' wake up
I'm genitive wit' Hip-Hop, possessed it in my makeup
See I'm alive... but I ain't livin' yet
More than a decade goin' in, why he ain't in it yet?
Yeah, that's the million dollar question
Maybe I'm goin' at it wrong, what's your suggestion?
Goin' against my grain/migraine, stock up Excedrin
'Cause off top, you fuckin' wit' a wiz/Wiz like Sledgren
An' I be feelin' myself, don't need MDMA
Grillin' myself, no briquettes or propane
Some rappers come off the top, I'd rather use the Rogaine
My way or the highway, an' my way, has no lanes
I mean, you can't stop a nigga in a jetpack
The melanated Cliff Secord, stunt on you once I get back
An' sadly, won't be many who will get that
So later on, I'll look back an' wish I never writ that
The homie Chris Reed said I remind him of Budden
So it's only right, I hop on beat, rhymin' like Budden
An' I don't mean wit' his flow, I mean, bein' vulnerable
Music helps my mood, unload the truth
Been a lot of love lost wit' me an' certain figures
Wishin' they were figments of my imagination
No exaggeration when I say I get on track an' murder niggaz
Lift the skirt of niggaz throwin' shade on aspirations
Take 'em back to '06, that's when Proof died
Shook me to my core, I sat up an' cried
Wishin' I could go back, catch all four slugs
In the Triple C Club, prevent the spillage of blood
'Cause that year, lost one of my favorite emcees
An' Mario, lost a cousin, it didn't have to be
Lost another fave later, not a physical death
But I could tell Shady died inside when Proof left
So, let's go back to when I was 9
Or better yet, let's go back to when I was lyin'
15, thought I was gangsta, but truthfully
I wasn't 'bout street life, stop confusin' me
Shit nigga, I train Pokemon an' read comic books
But don't mistake me for a pussy, never been shook
I'm a smart guy, know when I'm in over my head
So if it ain't worth the risk, a cheek is turned instead
Still tell you kiss my ass, have you turnin' red
You mad? Nigga go earn some bread
Still sleepin' on me? Get burned in bed
Literally, an' sexually; discern what's said
These are the words of a king, born to lose pitifully
But bred to win through heartache an' hardship, B
On a Triple Crown Hike, ain't no mountain high enough
An' I can go the distance like I'm Hercules, climbin' up
Can't get no lower than now, so I keep risin' up
Then Dougie on these haters, later, once my paper pilin' up
Yeah... it's Fineprint... Call Me King... Two...
