encore '07

thank you

thank you for coming out tonight

ladies and gentlemen

i am the president of dirty money records

new york city

who you know fresher than nick

riddle me that

mammi you itty bitty

can't mirror me back

everybody gon see where i'm lyrically at

used to hate nicki now they giving me dat

i live and i learn but i wait my turn

i'm always on the run got weight to burn

ease off the gas then i make the turn

three off the pass they don't play like her

why i can't just be ill

why when they see me bitches gotta go ew

why my lil nigga still gotta sell krills

why i'm this hot and still didn't get a deal

the rain and the pain

i done paid my dues

i'm ready for the game

i done laced my shoes

everything i say believe i'm gon do

came out the coup petite with tall boots

can i get a encore i know you want more

i know you sick of all them girls

they're such a bore

but it's my time i need ya'll to roar

it's my time i need ya'll to roar

after me there shall be no more

it's my time i need ya'll to roar

look what you made me do

look what i made for you

knew when i paid my dues

that i would aim for you

straight from the streets of queens and yet it seems

the only thing they know is that i push a beam

all they sees a pretty face

how i ride the base

so i put my hoodie down just to hide my face

they don't see the tears i cry

the fears i hide

told me keep my cares inside

it's merely pride

like my grandmother

i wonder if she next to pop

said the next time i seen her she would be in a box

she was right

she was dead right

how was i to know that would be her last night

if i could turn back the time

dear god

somehow could you press rewind

won't come when i call

but he just in time

so i come when he call

like i'm next in line

when you got something good why the devil gotta ruin it

guess she never know i be the best bitch doin it

(tired of being what you want me to be

feeling so faithless lost under the surface

don't know what you're expecting of me

put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow

every step that i take is another mistake to you

caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow

and every second i waste is more than i can take

i've become so numb i can't feel you there

i've become so tired so much more aware

i'm becoming this all i want to do

as be more like me and be less like you

i've become so numb)

can i get a encore i know you want more

but it's my time i need ya'll to roar

it's my time i need ya'll to roar
