As Long As You Know

I shed dead weight
And look for signs and leave up signs that say "Wet Paint"
I'll catch you later, I'm off to lose faith trying to get famous
Peep how a brother's built
I hit the stage and went for days without my mother's milk so now it's hard to sit still
Where almost doesn't count I'm at the counter trying to break a big bill
And just about to get killed
I'm taking me time in the meantime
Anything I wanted to do and wasn't able was 'cause the label wanted lead time
I've called some timeouts where my hands had made the "T" in time
But just the referee didn't see in time
But don't complain, those broken plays will have results I guess we'll see in time
But yo the iron can be so unkind
But knew deep in my soul that god would make it so, if god was so inclined
Them bars is from a distance
New right away they'd be relatable if I had only said em different
But let me say 'em how I want to say 'em
You can play 'em if you wanna play 'em
I'm covered in stars, the new moon burns the full moon itches
And scars, I let my big wounds heal without stitches
I kick it, as the golden ticket for niggas and bitches
I know that's ambitious
I didn't mean to hurt you, I'm sorry that I made you cry but I'm just a jealous guy trying to keep in mind that patience is a virtue
But at least say some shit in person should you happen to take it personal
'Cause otherwise you like them other guys who got a couple faces, each and every conversation, tell a couple lies
Sure there a reason god made each and every one of 'em
I don't judge 'em I'm just happy I ain't one of 'em
But stand in front of 'em a one of one
Ain't had a battle ever wasn't won just 'cause it wasn't one-on-one
Wins and losses for the law's breakers
Middle finger to the odd's makers
Boy Sand King Solomon
Truth hurts, I got a high pain tolerance
Before you ask me what the name mean, take a walk inside a daydream, venture off to out of way streets
I'll be copping sneaks
Browsing the A.M. and the Metro and Muhammad Speaks
But yo, it's peace
