A critic has never been able to stop me
Somebody that doesn't like me
They may try to discredit me or even say things that are not true
They've never been able to keep me from rising higher
They can't stop your destiny!
See, an eagle can fly at heights that a crow cannot reach
The crows cannot go where you go
If you're looking for me I'll be right here, nigga
818 livin' right here, nigga
I'm the fuckin' man around here, nigga
Passin' down the pussy like, here, nigga
Fuck the lavish shit man you can have it

Awww yea
Niggas sayin' they want some raw shit back it's right here nigga, here nigga
Yea, Listen up, yea
Back in 1999 when I picked up a pen, that's when I used to wish for this (Yea)
And I was so frightened out in all of my music I never thought you'd be into (Yea)
Now I feel like I'm unstoppable like Bradley Cooper up in that one movie "Limitless" (Yea)
And I done been around the planet a hundred times nigga I'm truly infamous (Yea)
All the grinding I put into this
All my fans are feeling intimate
This shit isn't a coincidence
Treated this game like a glory hole all I did was stick my dick in it (Yea)
I do not believe in discipline, niggas think I be magician and
I never needed nobody's opinion or
Cosigning whatever my decision is
Rap is all that I had in the rough conditions
I bought The Chronic - the deluxe edition
I heard Eminem on "What's The Difference"
I was like oh snap what the fuck is this shit?
My homie Justin played Crooked I when he had made a remix to the song "Ignition"
I kid you not it blew my mind
I do not lie
Since then I've been on a mission
To be down with rap until my mind corrodes
I'm dedicated with my life and soul
When I be giving my all 'til I die and I lie below
Please bury me with the microphone
I ride alone through the night as I flow my pain
Now the whole world know my name
A whole lot changed
I'm givin' everybody more I tame
And you can see it from the dough I gain
So listen
If you're looking for me I'll be right here, nigga
818 livin' right here, nigga
I'm the fuckin' man around here, nigga
Passin' down the pussy like, here, nigga
Fuck the lavish shit man you can have it
I came up from the gutter like some magic
Awww yea
Niggas sayin' they want some raw shit back, it's right here nigga, here nigga
The game is a painful journey, thank God I never came in early
Had I blown up in 19 or 20?
Damn Hollywood woulda wait to jerk me
Fame woulda went to my brain it hurt me
I had no idea that it made some urge in me
One minute you're on top, the next minute you might flop
Man I'm every single day I'm learning
I use my ill mind to boost me, still riding smoothly
Feels like a movie, real lies, I'm truth
Blessed the ways you ain't yesterday, it's too late yesterday
You straight kill time, profusely
Go hard there no excuse
I get a shot then I won't get loose
But I won't let you
Trying to take advantage of my heart or skills nigga, no can do
Bitches I'm a boss now, the pushovers been tossed out
I delivered the Raw style
I moved outta my mom's house
Anybody who never believed has been crossed out
I got this shit on locked down
You rappers been knowing you never get Hop's crown
Even though I come off as a goofy nigga
I assure you I'm what you should not clown
I'm too hard to digest
You might get your eyes wet, 818's what I rep
'Til the day I die yes, H-O-P is timeless
Why the fuck should I stress
I have accomplished the mission that most be proud of
I'm looking down on my doubters
I'm laughing like hahaha, nigga now what?
If you're looking for me I'll be right here, nigga
818 livin' right here, nigga
I'm the fuckin' man around here, nigga
Passin' down the pussy like, here, nigga
Fuck the lavish shit man you can have it
I came up from the gutter like some magic
