Lyrics:
It's handin' out cancer that's why fame was never the aim and the back is the front – homie left side up!
That's a concept
Misconception
Those deadly habits have me losin' my cool...
It's what your frame of mind has chosen.
I'll leave your brain stimulated...
So they think but they don't get to know me
They throw me out their circles
For being a square (lonely)
Homie out the abundance of my heart
You hear my art speak
And I don't fit in your genre
Don't try to box me but punch me in
I'm tryna give this beat a beating
Pleading with your eardrums until they
Bleed the blood of Jesus (Jesus)
But wait I know you think
This here is gospel rapping
Its more like bringing balance
These rap scales full of crack and
The streets told me real
Killers move in silence
Then how come all these rappers
Out here talking violent (shhh)
But lets take all your
Preconceptions or your misconceptions
That I'm something other than you
With a different direction
I'm south side Chicago, I'm southwest Atlanta
I'm Compton with manners
I'm good truth and bad grammar
We're flawless and we think we're better
Its official got it all together
We don't want em getting
The wrong impressions
Cause that ain't real thats a misconception
Been a struggle only Jesus kept us
And we still fall, so it's hard to get up
We don't want em getting
The wrong impressions
Cause this is real ain't no misconception
No more the need to be defensive
Goodbye, old you
When love is true
Miss guarded heart
Miss play it smart
Miss if you want to use that line you better not start, no
But she miscalculated
She didn't want to end up jaded
And this miss decided not to miss out on true love
So, by changing her misconceptions
She went in a new direction
And found inside she felt a connection
She fell in love.
What is the feelin' takin' over?
No more the need to be defensive
Goodbye, old you
When love is true
Miss guarded heart
Miss play it smart
Miss if you want to use that line you better not start, no
But she miscalculated
She didn't want to end up jaded
And this miss decided not to miss out on true love
So, by changing her misconceptions
She went in a new direction
And found inside she felt a connection
She fell in love.
What is the feelin' takin' over?
Sitting here chopping game, my nigga Bad Azz
Niggas get the misconception of us
cause we so cold at what we do
But I really wanna let niggas know what's happening though
You feel me?
As you treat danger a pure collection.
As you throw away misconceptions.
Going for the one.
Going for the one.
Going for a
Listen in time
Taken so high
To touch to move
Listen to life
Touching touch time
Travel twilight
Taken so high.
Get the idea cross around the track
Underneath the flank of a thoroughbred racing chaser
Getting the feel as a river flows
Would you like to go n' shoot the mountain masses
And here you stand no taller than the grass sees
And should you really chase so hard
The truth of sport plays rings around you
Going for the one
Going for the one
Get in the way as the tons of water
Racing with you crashing thru the rudder
Once at the start you gamble
That you really surely really mean to finish
After seeing all your sense of fear diminish
As you treat danger a pure collection
As you throw away misconceptions
Going for the one
Going for the one
Going for a listen in time
Taken so high
To touch to move
Listen to life
Touching touch time
Travel twilight
Taken so high
Roundabout, sounding out, love you so
Love you so
Love you so
Now the verses I've sang
Don't add much weight to the story in my head
So I'm thinking I should go and write a punch line
But they're so hard to find
In my cosmic mind
So I think I'll take a look out of the window
When I think about you
I don't feel low
N'should I really chase so hard
The truth of sport plays rings around you
Going for the one
Going for the one
Going for to listen in time
Taken so high
To touch to move
Listen to life
Touching touch time
Travel twilight
Taken so high
Taking your time
Turn on to love
Turnstile to one
Tender timing
Rocking rolling
Listen in time
Taken so high
To touch to move
Listen to life
Touching touchtime
Travel twilight
Taken so high
Taking your time
Turn on to love
Turnstile to one
Tender timing
Rocking rolling
Turn on to love
Turnstile to one
Tender timing
Rocking rolling
Moments decide
Moments delight
Moments in flight
Talk about sending love
One, two, three, yeah
There's a fairy tale that says
Once upon a time
Funky music belonged to people who
Drank cheap wine
That's why I gotta get on my own way
That's the new golden rule
Enjoy the closest human
I'm much too hot to be cool
100 miles an hour, baby
That's what it's all about
I need a lover that can slow me down
Somebody that'll make me shout
There's a misconception that says
Everything on the one (everything on the one)
Then my first reaction is just try to
Have a little fun
That's why I gotta get on my own way
That's the new golden rule
Enjoy the closest human
I'm much too hot to be cool
100 miles an hour, baby
That's what it's all about
I need a lover that can slow me down
Somebody that'll make me shout
Ugh, ha, ha, ha, ha
There's a fairy tale that says
Twice in the Land of Oz (twice in the Land of Oz)
Dorothy make love to the Lion because
Because, because
That's why I gotta get on my own way
That's the new golden rule
Enjoy the closest human
I'm much too hot to be cool
100 miles an hour, baby
That's what it's all about
I need a lover that can slow me down
Somebody that'll make me shout, make me shout
That'll make me shout
Woman who'll make me shout
You tell me what you think I'm feelin', you know why I do what I do
Why should you listen to a word I'm sayin', when it's already so clear to you
You tell me 'bout my bad intentions, you doubt the very things I hold true
I can no longer live with your misconceptions, baby all I can say to you, is
That ain't love, I believe you've got the wrong emotion
That ain't love, at least it doesn't feel like love to me
As long as I say what you want to hear
Do what you want to do, be who you want me to be
You think that's love, well baby that ain't love to me
We've got to talk it over sometime, these feelings won't just disappear
I'm just gonna keep telling you what's on my mind
Even if it's not what you want to hear
Oh right now your world and mine are such different places
Through yours I wander lost and confused
And I feel like I'm speaking in a different language
And the only words I haven't used, are
You keep tellin' me, you know a place where your life would be better
You're makin' plans long-range
But I don't know how you expect to get there, when you refuse to change
Oh baby
Oh baby that ain't love, that ain't love
That ain't love, oh no, baby that ain't love, that ain't love
(That ain't love, that ain't love, that ain't love, oohoo)
You tell me what you think I'm feelin', you know why I do what I do
Why should you listen to a word I'm sayin', when it's already so clear to you
You tell me 'bout my bad intentions, you doubt the very things I hold true
I can no longer live with your misconceptions, baby all I can say to you, is
That ain't love, I believe you've got the wrong emotion
That ain't love, at least it doesn't feel like love to me
As long as I say what you want to hear
Do what you want to do, be who you want me to be
You think that's love, well baby that ain't love to me
We've got to talk it over sometime, these feelings won't just disappear
I'm just gonna keep telling you what's on my mind
Even if it's not what you want to hear
Oh right now your world and mine are such different places
Through yours I wander lost and confused
And I feel like I'm speaking in a different language
And the only words I haven't used, are
You keep tellin' me, you know a place where your life would be better
You're makin' plans long-range
But I don't know how you expect to get there, when you refuse to change
Oh baby
Oh baby that ain't love, that ain't love
That ain't love, oh no, baby that ain't love, that ain't love
(That ain't love, that ain't love, that ain't love, oohoo)
The biggest misconception about me is that I give a fuck
Used to stand in the trap, see the city scape
Tryna hustle up a million Chevrolets (woo)
Stack as much as I can in a day
While keepin' mine off a nigga dinner plate
I'm outrageous, my spot blazin'
Hate fuck niggas, they contagious (what?)
Cole (ayy)
Thinking about how I'm so thankful (woo)
Subpar songs, I don't make those (I don't make those)
Look at that car I paid for (I paid for)
Look at my life, I'm grateful (I'm grateful)
Hatin' on me, that's hateful (that's hateful)
You know I hit what I aim for (aim for)
Talkin' 'bout risks, I take those (I take 'em)
Didn't get here being careful (ayy)
Listen, ah
Talkin' 'bout risk, I take those
Millionaire still riding with the Draco
Courtside at the game Jumbotron got my name on it
That's how a typical day goes
I just left Nigeria, Lagos
I just met Kanye, Yesoz
I was talkin' to God, 'bout what's real or what's not
All he said was remain faithful
Okay, I get, I got it, I'm with it, I'm 'bout it
My crib is exotic I'm blessed, hey
We living chaotic, was high off narcotics
But that's when my life was a mess, hey
We come from the bottom, we still at the bottom
I get high to relieve the stress, hey
I don't think y'all get the message
This just world is built off misconceptions
Talkin 'bout greed
Talkin 'bout envy
Talkin 'bout money, then we talkin' 'bout plenty
Talkin 'bout dollars, or we talkin' 'bout pennies
Talkin' 'bout drinking, then we talkin' 'bout Henny
What we talkin' 'bout?
It's a common misconception
About a man's role in this world
A provider and survivor and
A winner who must never fail
But oh, how he needs a woman
To reassure and give him strength
Through the darkest nights and the hardest fights
When there's no other corner left
When the world outside is threatenin'
And all his dreams have been destroyed
Take him in your arms watch all his guards
Melt like a little boy
Tell him, you really need him
Tell him, you really care
Tell him, you'll never leave him
He'll be satisfied
And he may not find it easy
To say what's on his mind
When he's full of doubt, say, "We'll work it out"
God knows how hard he's trying
And he may never buy you roses
And forget to notice your hair
But as long as he says, "I love you my dear"
That's all you need to hear
Tell him, you really need him
Tell him, you'll aways care
Tell him, you'll never leave him
He'll be satisfied
And they say, the heart's a hunter
But it's truth you can't deny
He may never be everything you want
But for you, he'd lay down and die
So Friday night when the phone rings
And he's stuck in a downtown bar
Roll away the stone 'cause the last mile home
Is the longest mile of them all
Tell him, you really need him
Tell him, you'll always care
Tell him, you'll never leave him
He'll be satisfied
Tell him, you really want him
Tell him, you understand
And tell him that you love him
He'll be satisfied
We'll surely melt in the rain
Say I, say I
Say I, say I
Say I, say I, say I, say I, say I
Frantic, faction, focus
The world breathes
And out forms this misconception we call man
But I don't know him
No, I don't know him
Because he lies they lie
Say I, yeah
Say I, yeah
Say I
Say I, say I
Say I, say I
Sitting here chopping game, my nigga Bad Azz
Niggas get the misconception of us
cause we so cold at what we do
But I really wanna let niggas know what's happening though
You feel me?
We'll surely melt in the rain
Say I, say I
Say I, say I
Say I, say I, say I, say I, say I
Frantic, faction, focus
The world breathes
And out forms this misconception we call man
But I don't know him
No, I don't know him
Because he lies they lie
Say I, yeah
Say I, yeah
Say I
Say I, say I
Say I, say I
(Sorry)
(I'm so, I'm so sorry)
(Sorry, sorry)
(I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so)
(So-, so-, so-, so-, so-)
(I'm so, I'm so)
(So-, so-, so-)
(I'm so, I'm so)
(Sorry, sorry, sorry)
(Sorry)
(I'm so sorry, sorry)
(I'm so, I'm so sorry)
(I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so)
There isn't time for revolution
There isn't time to evolutionize or hide
Those things most precious
Our most precious
Things that got erased, corrupted, infiltrated
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry
(Sorry)
(I'm so sorry)
(I'm so sorry)
(Sorry)
(I'm so sorry, sorry)
(I'm sorry)
(I'm so sorry)
(I'm so sorry)
(I'm so, I'm so)
(I'm so, I'm so sorry)
(I'm so, I'm so)
I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try
To get away from your compelling
Mist of lies and misconceptions
No protection, no escape
Where I will never have to see your fucking face
You suffocate me
I can't breathe while you're alive
I can't breathe while you're alive
You suffocate, you suffocate
And I'm so sorry that I didn't die
Or just evaporate into a toxic cloud
It's gonna break, it's gotta break
It's made of glass, it's gonna break
And all the hate that you collected
And infused into protected piles of shit
Glass eyed devotees will flock to your gates
Your house is on fire, your house is on fire
Pull it forward, pull it back
Your eyes are empty, cold and black
We gotta break it, we gotta break it
We gotta break that fucking jack whip
On a broken hip, my life is a joke if I can't even breathe
Sorry you exist because you suck the fucking air out of my lungs
I am not afraid to die, still alive, still alive
And I won't let you bury me
Already got one, rolled up in my left hand
Pussy on my mind, tighter than a headband
Kush in my lungs, got ganja in my sweat glands
This shit I'm on, better than the next strand
Than the next strand, better than the next strand
She head down, booty poppin' in a handstand
I shine bright, I'll give your girl a slight tan
I make that pussy whistle like the Old Spice man
I don't even understand, why she'd ever want a man
If she ever throw it, I'd catch it like a cornerback
Like a cornerback, that's an interception
You think I give a fuck, that's a misconception
Oh what a night, oh what a night
The roof is on fire, so what? I'm high
I said, oh what a night, oh what a night
Yeah she a bad bitch, all jokes aside
Hey, look at baby over there
Whats up, little mama come here
She started talking but I really couldn't hear
Until she started dancing like she do it in the mirror (whoa)
Like she do it in the mirror, like she do it in the mirror (whoa)
She broke it down started moving like Shakira
Like she do it in the mirror
I chop one, chop two, chop that ass down
Chop that ass down, chop chop that ass down
All I want you to do is just drop that ass down
Drop drop that ass down, now look back at it
Whistling Dixie
Middle school, I was getting head on a ten speed
Jiggalo blood line, pimpin' hereditary
Black on 28's, it remind of February
Bet you can fuck with me, that would be Neveruary
Dead ass rapper should have came with a cemetery
I am so cold, nigga like Ben & Jerry
Fill a nigga, deal a nigga, kill a nigga, obituary
My vision blurry, these bitches flirtin'
I've been drinking all night, I think my kidney's hurtin'
So I closed the curtains on the 62
Her ass would knock your ass out, you better stick and move (True)
Chain hang to my ding-a-ling
Chain hang, chain hang to my ding-a-ling
To do a threesome you gotta intervene
Her legs so sexy when I'm in-between
Hey, look at baby over there
Whats up, little mama come here
She started talking but I really couldn't hear
Until she started dancing like she do it in the mirror (whoa)
Like she do it in the mirror, like she do it in the mirror(whoa)
She broke it down started moving like Shakira
Like she do it in the mirror
I chop one, chop two, chop that ass down
Chop that ass down, chop chop that ass down
All I want you to do is just drop that ass down
Drop drop that ass down, now look back at it
She do it like she do it in the mirror
Be cautious, that booty is bigger than it appears
She speed it up or slow it down, like she's switching gears
I'm looking for the baddest one here
I tell her like, do that there, do that there
You gotta stretch it out, girl move that there
She bend it over, touch her toes when she toot that there
Like hut one, hut two, girl who back there?
Mind too active, can't sit still
I kinda feel like I just took a limitless pill
I'm Captain Mercer on the beat, watch me murder the Krill
That's a sci-fi reference, nerd shit my preference
Family is the only thing that matters, bitch, I'm Stefan
I can't believe at first sight you thought I was Steve
Bitch, I'll orphan you, shapeshift and morph into your mom
Slit your throat and make it look like she's the one that committed the crime
You know I'm too committed to rhyme since my first show in Chicago
Never throwin' shade, we keepin' it light like vitiligo
Chain around my neck glisten like El Dorado
Can't fuck bitches with baggage, you married a ho with cargo
Bitches be jumpin' ship, word to Argo
If you don't understand that line, no need for an apology
You stupid motherfucker, I'm referencin' Greek mythology
I never went to college, B
And made millions while you pissed like you majored in urology
Now logically, I'm the top MC
How dare you got the nerve to bring that weak shit, neuropathy
Ain't no stoppin' me
Even if you stand on my grave, you're never toppin' me
Down, down, that's how we get down
Down, yeah, yeah, you know we get down
Pick the mic up and then we get down, down
So high up that it's down
Wow, my shit so profound
Wow, y'all done bit the whole style
Wow, I don't trip, I just smile
Murderous shit, I fit the profile
Murder was the case, had that shit on tape
Play this in the whip, man, that shit gon' crank
You steady talkin' shit like your shit don't stank (uh-huh, uh-huh)
News flash, buddy, we the shit, move right
From irrelevant back to relevant in a matter of seconds
Shattered misconceptions
Misdirected, in-headed in my direction
Intelligent and I'm tellin' it
Droppin' heavy shit that's still heaven sent
The freshest prince, utmost, definite, deadin' it
'Fore niggas can't fathom who they effin' with
Raw, no condom, you still can't come correct with it
I represent a specialist of artists who never charted
But never parted, often regarded as the hardest
As the autumn falls in, tell the wind I never fail
Leaves do, emcees too, but the pros propel
Don't tell, another cup of double-XL, trouble for sale
Back bustin' a couple of shells, for Durell
Logic asked me, "What the deal?"
Ladies, we gon try something
Different this time
I ain't sayin you wrong for doin
It how you do it, fellas
But it's something different
(When put a lil extra in
It man Im tellin you
You get a lil more power)
Sing it ladies, listen
I see you standin here lookin real nice
I bet I know whats going through your mind
You probably thinkin that every man in here
Is lookin for somebody for one night
Your friends drug you out cause
You ain't wanna come
Thats why youre standin there actin stuck up
Holdin up the wall
You got a misconception of men
Thinkin were all the same, full of games
All because you ended up with the wrong one
I bet you think that chivalry is gone
Cause you ain't seen nothing like
It in so long its when you open her door
Walk on one side of her
You give her your coat when it's cold outside
A man ain't a man until hes man to his woman
Compliments and flowers really lets her
Know that you want her
Let me spell it out C H I V A L R Y
Girl, if you feel like chivalry is gone girl
Ima change your mind
Your probably like, why did I pick you
Well, Im over there, you L
Double okay at me like, ooh
And I was wonderin whats your N A M E
How you gon A C T when I C O
M E over and ask you what it do?
Like an actor on a movie screen,
Living out someone else's dream.
Living out a total misconception,
Reality, a false perception.
It's such a wasted life,
Without any conclusion.
Days drift into days,
His life just slips away.
Sitting here chopping game, my nigga Bad Azz
Niggas get the misconception of us
cause we so cold at what we do
But I really wanna let niggas know what's happening though
You feel me?
There's a few things I haven't told you
And before you hear them from someone else
To clear up misconceptions
I'd rather tell you myself
There was a time
I rode a roller coaster
From Coney Island to Key West
I held on with one finger
So the other ten could rest
It may be hard to believe
Hard to comprehend
But baby, you didn't know me when
I played third chair trombone
In an out-of-work polka band
We looked for gigs on ships
In countries that had no land
It may be hard to believe
We hit the top ten
But baby, you didn't know me when
If you want a resume I'll put it in writing
It's only good for a day and the contents are frightening
I gave long-winded speeches
I was a head-of-state
I wrote an endless novel
Called See Jane Love And Hate
It may be hard to believe
I'm reticent
But baby, you didn't know me when
I fucked her the first night, and then I never called again
Next time lil' shawty seen me, I was ridin' with her friend
This alligator Kelly, not the Stacey, please
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby
Hopped out the Lamborghini, and she ate me
All this water on my sleeve, I need a jet ski
Hopped off a Delta to a private jet
Hopped out, Beretta, then I shot his neck (grah)
Green face AP, I'm 'bout to call it Shrek (green, green)
Throw me a baddie, and I caught the catch (go)
How you don't hate the game and hate me? (Me)
Lot of flaw and misconceptions what it be (yeah)
I done came back from the dust, wipe off the leaves (yeah)
I don't want none of these sluts from off the streets
I fucked her the first night, and then I never called again
Next time lil' shawty seen me, I was ridin' with her friend
This alligator Kelly, not the Stacey, please
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby
This baby blue Rolls-Royce done made lil' shawty drop her jaw
A nigga gettin' so big, I gotta get drove 'round by the law
Got tattoos up her sleeve, we on a shoppin' spree
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby
I just left the Cullinan up at Capaco (skrt, skrt)
Rolls-Royce sittin' on my wrist, and, yes, in plain gold (oh, oh)
I told that bitch, "Don't fall for that lil' chainsaw" (oh, oh)
Turn it on from off and cut your name out (yeah)
My watch and my rings and my chains cost (oh, oh)
My boxers and my tank, they done came off (oh, oh)
Fuck cops, 'til then I bang with my thang out (yeah)
I drank sauces, yeah, yeah (oh, oh)
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby
I fucked her the first night, and then I never called again
Next time lil' shawty seen me, I was ridin' with her friend
This alligator Kelly, not the Stacey, please
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby
This baby blue Rolls-Royce done made lil' shawty drop her jaw
A nigga gettin' so big, I gotta get drove 'round by the law
Got tattoos up her sleeve, we on a shoppin' spree
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby
Do not hate me, hate the game, baby
