Don't wonder why my hours long and I never tire
Because a ***** grind well exceeded a 9 to 5
Who fear a 9 to 5, seein' me again
I came through with diseased ***** on my pen

That's A.I.D.S. to the ill, L.A to the tilly
East coast steal them W's that's raised up for real
******** ******, broads know me where I live
Brought dimes from Brazil, ***k the currency, ya dig?

Still they wonder how I seem so confident
One can seem pompous, me and you just need to talk a bit
I ain't your regular rapper who just be talkin' ****
Listen to it a little closer, hear the gospel in it

I rhyme a noodle through the studio it's hallelujah
You dudes peep too early like [unverified]
I should rhyme in the sewer , Pepé Le Pew my music
You ain't the reason why they came like the fries at Hooters

I'm beside the future, they can't get rid of it
I'm past, present, everyday is December 25th
Jolly ol' St. Nicholas, take your pick
Admire my style, flier than Kid Icarus

Just because you know me, you don't know me
I've been tryin' to do it big since '03
And I got a little big, keep it low-key
Tryin' to keep up in my mind

And you wonder why
Oh my mind
Don't wonder why
They're stayin' on my mind

Better than whoever ***** as is
I'm always dressed up but I never **** ****
So good, man, I feel like I could be
The 8th Wonder of the world and the 9th is on the track, *****

I gon' track until I go hoarse
Hear my voice and they pray that they never hear the chorus
'Cause thinkin' logical to me was illogical
So I took a possible and turned it into optical

Look, seen blood, sweat and tears like a locker room
But you should take a look at where it got us to
We grind so when we shop out, we cop out
Like precincts, even if it's not out bring the whole stock out

We ain't on the court but everything is gettin' boxed out
Got it on lock, you just locked out
Skinny jeans but a *****'s still hood
I bet they never thought they'd see a B.I.G. gone good

But I swear to God my ***** Bad Boy
And that's word to my ***** Bab, boy
I saw Puff, I was finna speak
***** turned around and he recognize me

Damn, now that's what the ***k you call dedication
Gettin' money? You still waitin' on your reparations
Weight of the world, I lived without preparation
And it's type to make a real ***** separation

Just because you know me, you don't know me
I've been tryin' to do it big since '03
And I got a little big, keep it low-key
Tryin' to keep up in my mind

And you wonder why
Oh my mind
Don't wonder why
They're stayin' on my mind

I used to be the most humble until
I figured out that it don't matter for real
Not one arrogant, ill as a blood born pathogen that can kill
The reason why they had to give me a deal because I'm gettin' it in

Like this the joint that can get me the spins
You get the point? Listen, this what it is, here's the lesson
I'm a force to be reckoned with, why would you question it man?
The course is a definite, I'm raw as I ever been in

You soft and you delicate, you should have a flower logo
I power awesome like Austin Powers with his mojo
Cross the powers, all devoured in a heartbeat
Sharper than Sharpies, I'm sharper than shark teeth

Start beef? You could get it or your spouse
You'll be harder to find than diggin' in your couch lookin' for your car keys
Give her back with a sensitive mouth and some hard knees
From gettin' the jimmy like a car thief

Is Wale and Kenn Starr
We outta ya league, we grand slam fans outta they seats
Let's get paper and caked up like six layers of thick make up
On a self conscious chick overcompensating for A cups

Just because you know me, you don't know me
I've been tryin' to do it big since '03
And I got a little big, keep it low-key
Tryin' to keep up in my mind

And you wonder why
Oh my mind
Don't wonder why
They're stayin' on my mind

Oh, wait 'til I get back to campus
Everybody and they momma's gonna chant this
I'mma make a pretty big sandwich
Ha ha, yeah
