12. High Road
[Intro - Mike]
Lets go ya'll!

[Verse 1 - Mike]
These people [bad word] off at the mouth,
Tryin to convince me that [bad word] on empty,
Tryin to convince themselves that the record with Jay was a fluke,
That the record that I'm makin is a mistake,
And I cant take this,
Lemme tell you where I'm at with this,
You [bad word] are gonna have to take back that [bad word] 
I'm not plastic and fake, when I make tracks,
I take facts and lay 'em out for the masses,
You [bad word] are gonna see soon that I'm not playing,
And start asking me the names that I'm not saying,
But I'm tryin to be bigger than the bickering,
Bigger than the petty name calling,
Under the breath [bad word] and labels and categorization,
I'm like a [bad word] doctor: no patience, (haha)
But you can say what you want about me,
Keep talkin while I'm walkin away!
 [bad word] 
You can say what you have to say,
'Cause my mind's made up anyway,
I'm taking the high road, going above you,
This is the last time that I'm gonna [bad word] you,
You can say what you have to say,
'Cause my mind's made up anyway,
All that [bad word] you talk might work a lot,
But it's not gonna work today!

[Verse 2 - Mike]
You people [bad word] off at the mouth,
Tryin' to make me take myself off safety,
Tryin' to make my friends turn their backs,
On the team we built,
Buildin up some mistaken information,
And I cant take this,
Let me spell it out plain for you angry [bad word] 'bout the things we do,
I'm not changing direction,
I'm stepping my game up,
Maintainin my name, same way I came up,
You're gonna see that I'm not playing,
And start asking the names that I'm not saying,
But I'm trying not to mention the names of,
People who wanna siphon attention,
You like the hype but,
Pretendin you're part of the picture wont pass,
You're like a high school dropout: no class,
You can say what you want about me,
Keep talkin while i'm walkin away!  [bad word] )
 [bad word] 
You can say what you have to say,
'Cause my mind's made up anyway,
I'm taking the high road, going above you,
This is the last time that I'm gonna [bad word] you,
You can say what you have to say,
'Cause my mind's made up anyway,
All that [bad word] you talk might work a lot,
But it's not gonna work today!

[Bridge]
Why does it always have to be,
Somebody's always watching me,
All I really need is some room to breathe (breathe),
'Cause I cant stand to keep this in,
All I really want, I'll say again!
 [bad word] 
You can say what you have to say,
'Cause my mind's made up anyway,
I'm taking the high road, going above you,
This is the last time that I'm gonna [bad word] you,
You can say what you have to say,
'Cause my mind's made up anyway,
All that [bad word] you talk might work a lot,
But it's not gonna work today!
