nobody but me

Singer:8ball & mjg

it ain't no changing me

no matter what you claim to see

i can only aim to be

m-j-g

if thangs seem strange to me

they can't be the same with me

you know it's lame to be

somethin that you know is a lie

hoes want a nigga to try to be somethin that he ain't

right before your eyes

livin his life in a fuckin disguise

follow the pack

and wind up dead last

real dummy with your scared ass

in the future

ain't nobody gonna listen to you

cause you do whatever to please the crew

it's easy to - kiss ass for your wealth

or get cash for yourself

i think i'll go with the green

cause asses i do not clean

as bad as the shit might seem

i got a get-right team

nigga

sensing myself and i

it ain't ever let a day go by

without reality checks

fuck my salary check

that ain't the reason why i want respect

but you ain't finna

distress

i gotta keep a level head

fuck what a devil said

i'm stayin me

m-j fuckin g - put your trust in me. i can't be nobody but me

and that's all i can be

i can't be who you want me to be

cause nigga

that ain't me

100 ways to die

and i done survived 99

99 lives lost and one of them could've been mine

blind with my eyes open

seein what is killin me

feelin what is killin me

but wantin more constantly

runnin from temptation

but i'm much to slow to get away

gang

shootin niggas and bitches fuckin with me everyday

man if i was lame and couldn't see em from a mile away

smile on their mug

and in their minds

nothin but jealousy

why should i get caught up in that bullshit not concernin me

yeah

i run with suave and we gone ride til infinity

lord if i was lyin

strike me right here as i'm speakin this

separate the strong from the cowardly and the weak at this

i see him everyday

point shaven and cravin

for the money that i be savin

and the moves that i be makin

breakin rules

tryin not to be one of them broke fools

robbin niggas comin from school

thinkin that that shit is cool

served out

whether sober

playboy

i got heataz for ya

quick to shoot

because that indo boosts up my paranoia

i rap the blues

cause the blues is what i'm livin nigga

surrounded my animals - livin and dyin by the trigga

word to me

and if that shit don't meet your expectations

fuck you critics

i do this for the underground nation

slab ridaz

nigga

drug traffickaz and jackaz

heat packaz

nigga

all my homeboys ain't rappaz

and

i wouldn't say it if it wasn't necessary

all of this is just a test

tryin to prepare me

my future's lookin dark

and i don't think it's gettin brighter

forever eightball

pimp-caso

poetry writer. it's hard to be

something that you didn't start to be

these streets be apart of me

until it's hard to see

till the years when it's hard to walk

gettin old

and

it's hard to talk

i'm on a line of chalk

it seems thinner than a line of thread

but through all this

still instead

i'm real after all

paper

short or tall - wife

be big and small

and still down to earth

i'll still be on the scene

life like a tv screen

but i keep my strength

and i'll keep my hope cause i know they got me under the scope

but

if you're lookin at me

look close

and your ass will learn

maybe when you have your turn

and take a stand and shit

you might be a man and shit

make your own plan and shit

cause i don't make no moves unless g wanna make that move

fuck he and she wanna make that move

i got a face that blues

when a nigga gotta pay them dues

and they lookin at my face like ooo

mane

you broke and shit

but they ain't gonna throw me out a rope

and shit

i'm a drown and choke and shit

and my folkaz get clowdy with that hocus pokus shit

i'll be the brokest trick. but

i'm gone be myself

pimp type nigga for sho'

once again like i did it befo'

up top or below

i'm a keep my feet on the flo'

and do it in the heat or the snow

give me a beat and i go

off like a champ on your ass

drop the mic and vamp on your ass

stick a stamp on your ass

send you off to camp on your ass.when i rain

i'll dampen your

path
