Lyrics
I only note spending time away
I only note the truth is spoken
Best when brutally so honestly
I'll let you know you set
The standards lyrically for me
One single middle finger
Say raise it up
My speech will always be free
Like Martin Luther King
You had meaning to me
Single handedly saving music starving industry
A hip hop legend with skin like invisible ink
Black even though he was whiter than me
He was the first to be colorless
Speaking for all of us
Then you let us into your family
Mother father brother sister wife daughter
Damn right in front of me
That's when I miss my daughter desperately
Your mocking bird puts dents in me
While touring press and reliving my song hate me
I was losing custody, I never even saw that shit
How she played me and planned and sought it fit
To turn that trick and financially she would benefit
My first and probably only billboard hit
Was gonna pay for my two year old's college
I should have hid that shit
So she couldn't spend that shit
It took twenty years of working
Just to earn that shit
Now word for word I've listened,
heard and I'm done, done
Like you don't know
You act like you believe it
That you're in control
It's just your legal system though
They don't think about you
No they don't care about you
Now every man in America take back your control
Like you don't know
You act like you believe it
That you're in control
It's just your legal system though
They don't think about it
No, they don't care about it
Now every man in America take back your control
So I kept my business quiet
Just like my lawyer said
And I tried to focus all
My anger in my work instead
