[Intro]
You (Yeah)
You oughta know by now (Yeah)
That I'm never gonna leave you (I'm not goin' no where)
That I'm never, never (Uh)
[Verse 1]
It's been a long time, some say been too long
"Diddy on the island, he ain't promotin' your new song"
"Ain't you been around a while, why he just ignore you?
At this rate, Justin'll have a album before you"
I gotta laugh at the bloggers when they stabbin' at me
I'm Teddy Pendergrass, the whole town's laughin' at me
You see the cars and the jewelry all the time
You know what type of shit that could do to a nigga mind?
Whеn the gas bill, light bill, rent due, car notе
Eviction notice, cut-off notice, sittin' at the bar broke
I'm not complainin', I'm just sayin' how I really feel
At one point, I gave it up, packed my bags, hit the hills
Mixtapes, freestyles, promos, and demos
"Oh, you got dropped, my nigga, you ain't get the memo?"
This the type of shit that make a nigga grab a ball bat
Or end up bein' bitter 'cause you never got a call back
[Interlude]
You
You oughta know by now (Yeah)
That I'm never gonna leave you (I ain't givin' up though)
That I'm never, never (Check it, look)
[Verse 2]
New deal, Interscope, nope, you ain't a part of that
Money gone, this the type of stress that causes heart attacks
Craig Calmin phone call, "Play some songs for me
What type of artist for you, for the dudes or for the honeys?
Ain't your cousin signed here? He just left the office
As big as Maino is, I ain't signin' no more New York shit"
"Hit the road, jack, you ain't got a chance here
Your hip hop just doesn't sell, your outfit was last year"
"He ain't on the internet, that's what makes a star now
Radio ain't breakin' him so show me what you got now?"
I don't want your deal, I don't need your ear
Blackball me, never sign me, right now I don't even care
Life is all mines, I don't even need a year
My shit's forever, Money Pit 3, I see it clear
So when the curtain closes, and every album sold
I'ma still be here like stone, bitch, I'm solid gold
[Interlude: Aasim]
You (Hahaha)
You oughta know by now (Yeah, I'm determined to do it)
That I'm never gonna leave you
That I'm never, never (So I could makes lions out of all you, look)
[Verse 3]
Lady luck, I'm tryna date her 'cause she fly as shit
But somethin's wrong with me or she just playin' hard to get
So what if right now I ain't up where I belong?
If Pun was still here, I bet you he would put me on a song
I should go on strike, I ain't writin' shit
And you a fuckin' lie if you say I ain't writin' hits
It's never outta style to keep sayin' life's a bitch
And she got AIDS, so I fuck her once and wipe my dick
Time, it ticks fast to tryna a check to get you rich
And makin' songs like rollin' the dice, is hit or miss
A lotta niggas old but wishin' that they still had it
Do you remember where you was when you heard Illmatic?
Wu-Tang, Mobb Deep, B.I.G. and Reasonable Doubt
You know how it feels when it seems life's leavin' you out?
And make you scream, "Fuck it, where's the love, it ain't shit"
My name is Aasim but Everybody Hates Chris
[Outro]
You (Hahaha)
You oughta know by now (It's too easy)
That I'm never gonna leave you
That I'm never, never (It's too easy!)
