text: Woo! Geah, geah geah
  Uhh, turn the music up, turn the lights down
  Im in my zone
  Thank God for granting me this moment of clarity
  This moment of honesty
  The worldll feel my truths
  All through my Hard Knock Lifetime, A Gift and a Curse
  I gave you Volume after Volume of my work
  So you can feel my truths
  I built the Dynasty by being one of the realest niggas out
  Way beyond a Reasonable Doubt
  Yall cant fill my shoes
  From my Blueprint beginning to that Black Album ending
  Listen close, youll hear what Im about
  Nigga, feel my truths
  Pop died, didnt cry, didnt know him that well
  Between him doing heroin and me doing crack sales
  Put that in the eggshell, standing at the tabernacle
  Rather the church, pretending to be hurt wouldnt work
  So a smirk was all on my face
  Like, Damn, that mans face is just like my face
  So pop, I forgive you for all the shit that I lived through
  It wasnt all your fault, homie, you got caught
  Into the same game I fought, that Uncle Ray lost
  My big brothers and so many others I saw
  Im just glad we got to see each other
  Talk and re-meet each other
  Save a place in Heaven til the next time we meet forever!
  Thank God for granting me this moment of clarity
  This moment of honesty
  The worldll feel my truths
  All through my Hard Knock Lifetime, A Gift and a Curse
  I gave you Volume after Volume of my work
  So you can feel my truths
  I built the Dynasty by being one of the realest niggas out
  Way beyond a Reasonable Doubt

  Nigga, feel my truths
  Music business hate me ‘cause the industry aint make me
  Hustlers and boosters embrace me and the music I be making
  I dumbed down for my audience to double my dollars
  They criticized me for it, yet they all yell holla
  If skills sold, truth be told, Id probably be lyrically Talib Kweli
  Truthfully I wanna rhyme like Common Sense
  But I did 5 mill – I aint been rhyming like Common since 
  When your cents got that much in common
  And you been hustling since your inception
  Fuck perception! Go with what makes sense
  Since I know what Im up against
  We as rappers must decide whats most important
  And I cant help the poor if Im one of them
  So I got rich and gave back, to me thats the win/win
  So next time you see the homie and his rims spin
  Just know my mind is working just like them 
  Thank God for granting me this moment of clarity
  This moment of honesty
  The worldll feel my truths
  All through my Hard Knock Lifetime, A Gift and a Curse
  I gave you Volume after Volume of my work
  So you can feel my truths

  My homie Sig was on a tier where no tears should fall
  ‘Cause he was on the block where no squares get off
  See, in my inner circle, all we do is ball
  Til we all got triangles on our wall
  Aint just rapping for the platinum, yall record
  I recall, ‘cause I really been there before
  Four scores and seven years ago, prepared the flow
  Prepared for war, I should fear no man
  You dont hear me though, these words aint just pared to go
  In one ear, out the other ear, no!
  Yo, my balls and my word is alls I have
  What you gonna do to me, nigga? Scars will scab
  What, you gonna box me, homie? I can dodge a jab
  Three shots couldnt touch me, thank God for that
  Im strong enough to carry Biggie Smalls on my back
  And the whole BK, nigga, holla back!
  Thank God for granting me this moment of clarity
  This moment of honesty
  The worldll feel my truths
  All through my Hard Knock Lifetime, A Gift and a Curse
  I gave you Volume after Volume of my work
  So you can feel my truths
