Next Plan

[Chorus]
Top floor
Walkin' in, what I gotta knock for?
Buddy please don't touch, this is not yours
This is only one take, I got five more, yeah
I ain't worried bout the next man
I got vision like Xavier from X-Men
So if I fail, it's the next plan
And if I fail the next plan, it's the next plan, yuh

[Verse 1]
I ain't really trippin' on the air
Cause when you lose, you'll be better than yourself
I'd rather be out here than be in jail
Running, checking letters in the mail (no that's right)
I'd rather see my brothers doing well (doing good)
Talking to my brothers in the cell (doing good)
And if you couldn't already tell
I'd rather be in Heaven than in Hell

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'd rather starve than be a glutton of this world
Keep your money, keep your car, and your plastic girl
And I'd rather run than know that I would be a slave
To the system of this world that's keeping everyone in chains

[Chorus]
On the top floor
Walkin' in, what I gotta knock for?
Buddy please don't touch, this is not yours
This is only one take, I got five more, yeah
I ain't worried bout the next man
I got vision like Xavier from X-Men
So if I fail, it's the next plan
And if I fail the next plan, it's the next plan, yuh

[Verse 2]
I wasn't raised by a book on the shelf
Self-help really ain't much help
Especially when you're raised in the hood
And you don't have access like everybody else
I'd rather see my people share the wealth
Than run away and keep it for themselves
And if you couldn't already tell
I'd rather be in Heaven than in Hell

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'd rather starve than be a glutton over fame
Keep your bills, and your money, and your whip and chain
That's why I'd rather run than know that I would be a slave
You can lock my body up but you can't take my mind away

[Chorus]
From the top floor
Walkin' in, what I gotta knock for?
Buddy please don't touch, this is not yours
This is only one take, I got five more, yeah
I ain't worried bout the next man
I got vision like Xavier from X-Men
So if I fail, it's the next plan
And if I fail the next plan, it's the next plan, yuh
