[Intro: Katt Williams]
I'm just saying, live yo muthafuckin life
You gotta get yo muthafuckin hustle
Understand niggas is hating on you regardless
Get that outta yo head; that fantasy world where niggas ain't hating on you
You gotta be grateful - you need haters
What the fuck is you complaining about?
What the fuck do you think a hater's job is?
To fuckin hate! So let them muthafucka do they goddamn job!

[Verse I: RALI]
These niggas talk too much
Keep your mouth shut
Hate is the enemy of success, progress
Everything I do ain't for myself, I'm just
Keeping stability of an upset conscience
Haters are my throne
Fake rappers are my armrest
I'mma do me, yeah I'mma do it honest
These niggas wanna compete? No contest
Tell them niggas I'm about my biz - no nonsense
This is the real world
With all the faking and hating
And all this procrastination
You premature pussies nothing but little girls
So I intend to be flagrant
And I intend to make sure that you niggas hate me
I work hard my nigga, I don't ask for shit
So why these niggas always gotta ask for shit
I'm not the type to put niggas on blast for shit
So if the shoe fits, Cinderella, glass the shit
If money, clothes and hoes;
Videos and shows
Are keeping niggas exposed
I'mma be on a roll
I'm not selling my soul though
Fascists fear me writing rhymes with prepositions and adjectives
My lines are knives and when it bleeds it burns
When the money comes in, best believe it's earned
I try to give back cause everybody needs a turn
But being hot so cold, freezer burn

[Hook: RALI]
This is the story of a fortunate outcast
From a city where the hopeful are outclassed
From a city where the hopeless are downcast
Wha-wha-wha-wha, wait a minute
Take a minute
If you can listen to my thoughts, you can think a minute
Pay attention to the earth and escape a minute
Look at your reflection and stop being fake a minute

It's times I feel I'm by myself
Cause I just wanna be fly myself
Ask a question, "Am I myself?"
If I knew me, I wouldn't have to find myself
Hold up - I just wanna rock wit ya
To all the kids, still tryna be popular
People always gonna tell you bout your obstacles
Just tell them niggas this is shock & awe

[Verse II: RALI]
Counter-balancing madness or overwhelming with sadness
Since either one is a dagger, you choose, you lose either way
You can feel the noose of blues until you suffocate
I just wanna see they world change like a meter maid
"When you get big Shid, don't forget me."
You don't really want the life but, it's oh so tempting
The hype and the limelight blurred your vision
A walk in my shoes'll leave you limping
I'm not even on my shit
And all my fam and my fans still bump my shit
And all my old friends' girlfriends on my dick
So till the end I'm give them what they wish
Whether good dick or good music
I'm a fool, but you know I do
Keep em faded off the verbs
And drunk off the words
Till they fight for prohibition so I don't abuse it
Make way for the man with a story to tell
Take aim at the man's motivation to sell
Take pride in yourself if nobody else k what they tell you; just don't fail
See I'm here to make my mark
Creativity ain't just finding a spark
You gotta light that shit
Ignite that shit
Ironic I find my shine in the dark
