[Verse 1]
Allahu akbar (All praise due)
I'm a prophet who profit off of hot bars (Off of hot bars)
I push the laws to the limit because I got none ('Cause I got none)
Defeat the evil and darkness with the hot sun
I'm everybody's top gun (Top gun)
The numero uno, never pseudo, they tried to curse me like voodoo
But I'm blessed like Tutu (So blessed)
Spiritual, but I keep the tool, too, Allah bless my soul (Soul)
Grant 'em knowledge and wisdom, they never test my goal (They never test)
I been managing anger, but my tolerance been on low (Low)
They say don't bottle problems and pride cause you probably just gon' blow (Blow)
And watch how you treat others, you reap what you sow (Sow)
But I speak with no code (Code), everything blatantly spoke (Spoke)
I'm out the mold of the truth-tellers (I'm out that mold)
Get out of line, send your family to suit sellers (Send 'em)
Don't get over-zealous or too jealous (Too jealous)
'Cause I chop more than a line when I send your head through these propellers (Skrrt)
[Chorus]
The evil that men do (Men do)
I don't like you, I ain't trying to pretend to (I ain't trying to pretend to)
You ain't the homie, you ain't know who I'm kin to (You ain't)
You ain't seen the struggle, you don't know what I've been through (What I been through)
It's middle fingers up when I pull up and bend through (Middle fingers)
I used to ride the train, now I pull up in Benz coupe
Most wouldn't survive through the life that I lived through
A bunch of fake love from family and friends too (Friends too)
[Verse 2]
And they wonder why I'm always on my solo shit
Introverted life, I never show 'em shit (I never show 'em shit)
Built it on my own, I'm talking brick-by-brick
They tried to break my confidence, I took lick after lick (Lick)
But all scars heal and all tears dry (Dry)
I just hope I leave imprints before I touch the sky (Touch the sky)
If you run and tell my story, make sure it's televised (Televised)
'Cause this revolution in me, it will never die (Die)
[Chorus]
It's the evil that men do (Men do)
I don't like you, I ain't trying to pretend to ('Tend to)
You ain't the homie, you ain't know who I'm kin to (Kin to)
You ain't seen the struggle, you don't know what I've been through (Been through)
It's middle fingers up when I pull up and bend through (Bend through)
I used to ride the train, now I pull up in Benz coupe (Benz coupe)
Most wouldn't survive through the life that I lived through
A bunch of fake love from family and friends too (Friends too)
