My music make the crowd move
I'm in the car rolling cow food
But I still keep a strap with me
I ain't never been a slipper, that's a house shoe

Got my education without school
Quiet as a mouse move but I keep a loud tool
Play games, you'll be ****ting in a pouch, fool
Got stock like Dow do

New hardtop off the car lot
Hit the gas tires, smoke like cigar shops
Make ya jaw drop, bought it off the narc cops
Tax on the work, we got them H & R Blocks

Alumni yeah, I'm the school of hard knocks
Looking out for the 12 Roger Staubach
No cafe but we had them hard rocks
For the bread they'll throw you off of dark docks

So before ya heart stop or the narcs knock
I gotta give it to you straight like a bar shot
'Cause the streets don't play fair
*****s mad 'cause you got more rides than the state fair

Terrified, I can't lie, boy, I stay scared
So I keep a lot of toys like a day care
Hold the shawty like a b*** player
I ain't a killer I'm just trying to stay safe here

It was my only wish to rise, it was my only wish to rise
On them jealous mother***kers I despise
Coming down clean, bump and riding dirty, getting high

Hey, hey, it was my only wish to rise
On them jealous mother***kers I despise
It's coming down clean, bump and riding dirty, getting high

It's a mystery, break out ya magnifying gl***es
With ya hat and fine jackets, Macs and iron ratchets
Asinine *******s big as packs of line backers
***** fat with fine ***es in the back, with lines asking

Who that on that new track with that rap reclined backwards?
I knew that it was you but matter fact don't mind asking
Cooling on 'em, moving on 'em, my shooters on 'em
Show this flow off like a trophy and a new diploma

Graduation, crackers say that I wasn't gon' make it
Pack of paper, pen and pad and now calculate it
Malcolm made it, cinematic and black related
Addicts and crack and bases, my status is cracking faces

Embarr***ing, cracking vases at the dinner party
I took no slow cl***es, baby but yes, I've been retarded
You see my flow acting crazy like it's in kindergarten
I'm bringing heat like old ladies when they is menopausing
Okay then

It was my only wish to rise, it was my only wish to rise
On them jealous mother***kers I despise
Coming down clean, bump and riding dirty, getting high

Hey, hey, it was my only wish to rise
On them jealous mother***kers I despise
It's coming down clean, bump and riding dirty, getting high

Yeah, been at the lowest of my lows
That's why I get high, hoping no one ever know
To open up my mind, I can show you what I wrote
Or rather show you how to boat and hope that you can live or float

Independently self-made and well paid
Three whips, one chain, no welt pain
When you treeing over *****s they gon' yell shade
They outta patience where I live 'cause they sell weight

Avoided the temptation of crack slinging
But Lincoln Park had it looking like back in the '80s
Now my partners getting broads and the hottest whips
And I was sweating hours, trying to get the illest scholarship

Ain't have a pot to piss, I wasn't born rich
When I be writing, I'm as hungry as a model *****
She got the fattest ***, they got the hottest look
Leaving with 8 *****es, I need some octopus

See how Wale go J4, CS
My Lakeshore ***** never be on the B.S.
******** Chi-Town riding around, top down
Hanging with the squares'll be the reason *****s not around

What it do? Penny phones all blue
Or you could probably use a ***** drive, welcome to my car pool
Yellow Lam G ****, she double OD ****
Five time foul *****s need to stop reaching

It was my only wish to rise, it was my only wish to rise
On them jealous mother***kers I despise
Coming down clean, bump and riding dirty, getting high

Hey, hey, it was my only wish to rise
On them jealous mother***kers I despise
It's coming down clean, bump and riding dirty, getting high

High as ***k with my down ***
***** roll to the Porsche from the bus p***
But got lost when me and the cash crossed paths
Even though smoke out my nose, no mustache

*****es I want but that money is a must have
***k is you drunk? Pay that up front like the Ferrari trunk
Be careful, you won't have to be sorry, hon'
Stay close to the G's and you might learn some

Might earn some
Chop it up like mobsters on the rooftop let you burn some
Stop talking so much
Soak it up next time you have something to say

Boss the ***k up
Butcher knives done died trying to be as sharp as us
Talking 'bout you on your way
See them *****s downstairs 'fore you talk to us
By appointments, no walk ups

It was my only wish to rise, it was my only wish to rise
On them jealous mother***kers I despise
Coming down clean, bump and riding dirty, getting high

Hey, hey, it was my only wish to rise
On them jealous mother***kers I despise
It's coming down clean, bump and riding dirty, getting high
