I can still remember, tryna shop a deal From Taco Bell to TRL I climbed the Billboard charts to the top until As fate would have it Became an addict, funny 'cause I had pop appeal But they said time would tell if I'd prevail And all I did was put Nine Inch Nails In my eyelids now, I'm seein' diamond sales Like I'm in Zales Without a doubt, by any means, if rap was skinny jeans I couldn't do anything in 'em I'd be splittin' seams of denim when I'm spitting schemes Which really means no if, ands, or buts, are squeezin' in-between You sleep on me 'cause you're only fuckin' with me in your dreams Not even when I'm on my deathbed Man, I feel like Ed, it isn't time to drop the mic yet So why would I quit? The thought that I would stop when I'm dead Just popped in my head, I said it, then forgot what I said It isn't my time to call it a day I got rap locked and I'm already paid But it's 'bout time you remember the name Ayy, ayy
