[Intro]
Yeah
Sway and Tech ^!$$%

My name is 5'9
Y'all been in the game for a minute
Shout out to GangStarr

What up Prim' (back to basics)

[Chorus]

A lot of %#@! has happened, since I started rappin
A lot of %#@! has happened, since I started rappin
A lot of %#@! has happened, since I started rappin

There's been enough beef, and enough gat clappin

[Royce da 5'9]

Yeah
I'da became a target
From the bottom became the hardest artist in the game

The first time they started to market my name
I started to change
Smart but hardly could think logically

The insane part of me layin inside of me says pardon
me so I part with the same side of me
I hang out with the same guys

Either they not noticin the game changin me or they ain't watchin me
(*##$es sayin, "hi" to me
^!$$%z who ain't hot as me

Picturin me slain ^!$$%z gettin plain tired o' me
Lookin down at 'em when he got the same drive as me
We the same ^!$$%z aim just as high as me

Everything is the same with us but the thing is that I
came in here with a different anxiety
Hopefully the day I retire is approachin me lookin

back like those were the days I was fly
(But y'all gon' learn) from the mistakes to wait and
to be patient wrong turns did take up a lot of time

But I finally found my way around now I'm wiser
I thank God that I made it out alive


[Chorus]

[Common]

One man rises another falls
To discover all is one and one is all
I come to call like Jericho with the trumpets

It's wild and the honeys gramps and the Kwa hummin
The Lord soon comin
From glow some grow

Many stay stunted songs with the shorties knowin
I learn from the keep the dumb %#@! from my circumference
I run with ^!$$%z that wanted and done it the hunted and blunted

L said it gotta come from the stomach
To me the stomach is the voice of the Lord
The revolutionary people's choice the award

Seein souls move forward
Ghosts move toward new homes and new floors for us to rise to
In the attic tapin up my Bible thinkin I cannot apply to survival

The un-American Idol seein by the size of those times
I put it in my rhymes
A lot of %#@! has happened


[Chorus]


[Chino XL]
Yo, welcome lambs to the slaughter
It's the most important moment in my life since the birth of my daughters

Regardless, all is well in the universe put man
track, and Chino who cannot spit a wack verse
My first CDs basically made me Marky Mark with the

whole planet of the apes chasin me
Here to save you all now rap ain't worth savin but I
can't get the pavement with gay %#@! like Craig David

Vocal arrangements even basic I'm still the hottest
^!$$% to spit inside of my cousin Tigga ba!@&(t
I've no replacement for what's seeming like ages

I ain't no hypochondriac complainin I stay sick
Standin ovations for acapellas %#@!iations
I get better with agens everybody's observation
Starvation to brawl the last samurai
Take an eye for an eye till the world goes blind I'm bovine

Raging bull words are my weapons hoping not over ya head like cangos in '87
I move from Jers' to Cali' fillin the love
Move moms to Miami promised I would
Beef 'n drama i've been you wouldn't last through
What's funny mother$#&@er I wanna laugh too

But now I'm ready to get rich old dog new tricks
Told L could dig to China with chopsticks
When I switch to the big leagues this year with no fear
Cuz who'd even believe that I'd be here


[Chorus]
