[00:03.666] Shoutout Ed, shoutout Jessie, shoutout The Game
[00:07.941] It's like we always do it this time
[00:10.390] Take it to myself like, yeah, uh, uh
[00:14.064] Starin' at a blank canvas
[00:15.937] Thinkin' about what should I write, should I plan this?
[00:18.745] Reminiscing 18, a freshman on campus
[00:21.160] With dreams so big, nobody understands us
[00:23.874] 'Til they came true, started goin' bananas
[00:26.536] Somewhere along the road, I got us as lost as Atlantis
[00:29.076] Been there since Vegas, drinking under cabanas
[00:31.680] And medicine for breakups, take the pills life hand us
[00:34.393] No sleep, I been up for a couple o' days
[00:37.087] Can't nobody talk to him, been stuck in my ways
[00:39.732] They say "It's unsustainable," but **** it, it pays
[00:42.313] Results and results, keep runnin' them plays
[00:45.016] I see the writings on the wall, that shit's getting clear
[00:47.633] My new girl says she love me, but I don't even hear her
[00:50.211] I can't even drive a Jag', that shit is inferior
[00:52.897] Only time I see a threat, when (Yeah) I look in the mirror
[00:55.003] They'll only love you (Ay) when you gone
[00:57.176] It don't matter where you goin', (Uh) yuh (You know)
[01:00.606] But I did it on my own
[01:02.439] So I'd rather be alone, yeah (I'd rather be alone)
[01:05.190] Yeah, they only love you when you're gone
[01:07.693] It don't matter where you goin', (Yeah, Uh)
[01:10.842] Well I got it on my own, so I'd rather die alone (Yeah)
[01:16.115] Yeah, the greatest gift is knowledge itself
[01:19.424] They fail to talk about my journey when mentionin' wealth
[01:22.035] I made it here all by my lonely, no askin' for help
[01:24.716] What if my debut never dropped and got kept up on a shelf?
[01:27.227] Uh, from the soil, grew it slowly
[01:29.759] All black, leather, slicked back; they want the old G
[01:32.444] "Things are happening again," that's what they told me
[01:35.037] I came home, full circle, not as an OG
[01:37.751] Blink my eyes to my surprise, I'm in Tokyo
[01:40.413] 20,000 in the crowd singing every quote
[01:43.014] Blink again and they kickin' me outta Canada
[01:45.567] I swear you wouldn't have the stomach or the stamina
[01:48.328] Yeah, my shoulders carry over 20 tons
[01:50.948] Biggie said there's more problems when the money comes
[01:53.557] My songs speak to the greats, yeah the one-of-ones
[01:56.270] I'ma go out as a legend when it's said and done
[01:58.416] They'll only love you when you gone
[02:00.378] It don't matter where you goin', (Where you goin', uh) yuh
[02:03.405] But I did it on my own (On my own)
[02:05.602] So I'd rather be alone, yeah (I'd rather be alone)
[02:08.177] Yeah, they only love you when you're gone (Yeah)
[02:10.923] It don't matter where you goin', yeah
[02:14.118] Well I got it on my own, so I'd rather die alone
[02:19.885] Who put this shit together?
[02:21.065] I put this shit together
[02:22.347] I'ma wear all my chains like some Olympic medals
[02:24.996] They think it's all a game, so I'm thinking winning record
[02:27.713] They think it Kurt Cobain, but I'm thinking living legend
[02:30.227] I'm straight to the Hall of Fame straight from the hallways of the ghetto
[02:32.864] It's **** the world, **** 12, since I was like 10-11
[02:35.434] I built the whole ****ing mountain, I started out wit a pebble
[02:38.035] That money talk, that's a convo
[02:39.529] If you broke then that's a lecture
[02:40.776] I does me, 'cause only God can judge me
[02:43.149] Nigga, trust me, only I can trust me
[02:45.753] Yeah, it's just me, and the skies above me
[02:48.350] But I dug deep, I told you eyes will come see
[02:51.102] Will they love me when I'm gone?
[02:52.402] Will they know me?
[02:53.765] Do they love me when I'm home or when I'm O.T.?
[02:56.268] I'm here I don't know how long before I won't be
[02:58.840] So when I'm gone, how long will they want me? (Yeah)
[03:01.784] They'll only love you when you gone
[03:03.796] It don't matter where you goin', yuh (Matter where you goin')
[03:06.831] But I did it on my own
[03:08.851] So I'd rather be alone, yeah (Alone, yeah)
[03:11.600] Yeah, they only love you when you're gone (Wayne, I appreciate you more than you'll ever understand)
[03:14.100] It don't matter where you goin', yeah (You know, you're a real one)
[03:17.373] Well I got it on my own, so I'd rather die alone (Uh, yeah)
[03:22.945] Yeah, uh, Never [?]
[03:26.070] **** a hit, this shit is what I do it for
[03:28.471] So these bars will always be apart of me
[03:31.435] Right now, I feel like track 2 on Tha Carter III
[03:34.004] Uh, like I'm 2008 Nola
[03:36.279] This shit is bubblin' and I don't even drink soda
[03:38.956] The whole industry was givin' me a cold shoulder
[03:41.423] And now my record label needs me to make quota
[03:44.216] Yeah, this is all facts and every bar is real
[03:47.020] In twenty years, pray to God I'm makin' art still
[03:49.662] I'm letting everything go like a yard sale
[03:52.245] 'Cause my songs will beat longer than my heart will, uh

It's like we always do it this time
Take it to myself like, yeah, uh, uh
Starin' at a blank canvas
Thinkin' about what should I write, should I plan this?
Reminiscing 18, a freshman on campus
With dreams so big, nobody understands us
'Til they came true, started goin' bananas
Somewhere along the road, I got us as lost as Atlantis
Been there since Vegas, drinking under cabanas
And medicine for breakups, take the pills life hand us
No sleep, I been up for a couple o' days
Can't nobody talk to him, been stuck in my ways
They say "It's unsustainable," but **** it, it pays
Results and results, keep runnin' them plays
I see the writings on the wall, that shit's getting clear
My new girl says she love me, but I don't even hear her
I can't even drive a Jag', that shit is inferior
