One, two One, two, three, four I just take it They've been waitin' for their time contemplatin' Dealin' with latent issues Dealin' with other shit that ain't come into fold 'Til they went too far and they had already done sold they soul It's all gangster shit they're doin' from the top down to the bottom floor Sea level, low pass when I see treble Third life how I see era's and be rebels, be focused I mean I've seen enough to know when they ain't bein' honest with me I'm honorary, fallin' outside of a box And if they try to put my back against a wall then the problems vary Enough is enough, rolling up on me Then I'm rolling up my cuffs If we scrap I'd rather lose then I bluff, tough Hard act to follow in this little shop of horrors You ain't promised tomorrow I'm just getting started Old head still gettin' carded Never written off or disregarded Guess I'm just an artist I'll still paint like it's different drawings It's where the heart is Locked in to get my pardon Songtexte Pardon me Pardon me I ain't good with sixteen, I need some more to spit Beat bleedin', I ain't over it, nothing corporate Incorporate what I learned and pay the mortgages Never forfeiting or forbidding what the greatness of my aura is I'm orbiting, my son gave me more livin' Needed time to get it right 'cause I was tour-ridden Played the backseat just to get more driven Cut a rug and cut more ribbons Grand openings, celebrations I ain't walkin' nothin' back that I said Only accelerating, moving forward Goal that I'm moving toward Where I wanted to be is where I fell in place in Existence, speak it into On my Yoda, on my guru Hard to earn, but I make my quota Learned my lesson, cheffin', no bakin' soda The time that I'm investin' make me take it over Pardon me Pardon me (Pardon me) Pardon me You know, there's the, there's the three stages I talk about The creative, the creative, uh, sequence The first stage is imitation I don't care who you are, where you come from I don't care if you're a artist, poet, I mean musician, poet, you a painter, sculptor There's somebody that you see and you say, "Damn I want to do it just like that."
