you know you know how the story goes
and you wonder why? man you know you know
yeah and you should let them boys know too
show them n-ggas every single thing i showed you
im here feeling like 50 back in '02
and everybody sayin i'm the man
yeah but what does it take to feel secure?
a place with wooden floors and space to put awards
a couple of parking spots and maids to do the chores
the cars you always wanted
i wonder if id be happy without it
i try not to really think about it
i made it but i'm still playin like i'm bein scouted til i'm outted
king james sh-t watch me throw the powder up
this old g got my whole suite cloudin up
but i bet you i be out of time before i'm out of luck
im only sayin can somebody just be happy for me
i really hate to say i told you so
so i bite my tongue but you know you know
please make your long story shorter
this time is for the essence for the king of first quarter
numbers do the talkin i have nothing for reporters
i just hope we make these flights and don't get held up at the border
yeah so you can spare me all the accolades
im the reason you can find my city on an atlas page
half a million dollars later and my taxes paid
and i'm still spendin money from my actin days
life is such a lovely thing
feel the perks that a 7 digit budget bring
tell your girlfriend that i can pull some f-ckin strings
so were courtside when lebron get a f-ckin ring
i bet i be there i be there
you see that '62 sittin outside? thats me there
im jumpin to the top its my leap year
putting in that overtime i never said it be fair
im always left wishin i could have done it in person
my apologies to all of the ones i was hurtin
i got new girls but none of they love is for certain
and call old girls but none of they numbers are workin
damn what happened to us?
how come when i got a party you stare at me in disgust?
if it is just to have fun you should see that as a plus
especially when i come flyin through the door
and kindly ignore the paparazzi outside and tryin to record
why has every woman never dined her before?
am i the only 23 year old wine connoisseur?
the 'caias and the opuses
its always nice when youre out with someone that notices
my condo got that art gallery openness
im just really hopin that that isn't what the motive is
im only sayin can somebody just be happy for me
i really hate to say i told you so
so i bite my tongue but you know you know
