Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I am not 
a pattern to be followed. 
The pill that I'm on is a tough one to swallow. 
I'm not a criminal, not a role model, 
not a born leader. I'm a tough act to follow. 
I am not 
the fortune and the fame, 
nor the same person telling you to forfeit the game. 
I came in the ring like a dog on a chain 
and I found out the underbelly's sicker than it seems. 
And its seems ugly, but it can get worse, 
'cause even a blueprint is a gift and a curse, 
'cause once you got a theory of how the thing works 
everybody wants the next thing to be just like the first, 
and I'm not a robot. I'm not a monkey. 
I will not dance, even if the beat's funky. 
Opposite of lazy - far from a punk. 
You all ought to stop talking. 
Start trying to catch up, [bad word]  

... and all the people say: 
Try to catch up [bad word]  

Lauren said money change a situation. 
Big said it increase [bad word]  
Kane said "Don't step. I ain't the one." 
Chuck said that uzi weight a [bad word] ton. 
And I'm just a student of the game that they taught me, 
rocking every stage in every place that it brought me. 
I'm awfully underrated, 
but came here to correct it, 
and so it ain't mistaken, I'mma state it for the record. 
I am 
the opposite of wack, 
opposite of weak, 
opposite of slack, 
synoym of heat, 
synonym of crack, 
closest to a peak, 
far from a punk. 
You all ought to stop talking. 
Start trying to catch up, [bad word]  

... and all the people say: 
Try to catch up [bad word]  

Oh. When [bad word] for me [bad word] for me - I'll be gone. 
Oh. When [bad word] for me [bad word] for me - I'll be gone. 
Oh! When [bad word] for me [bad word] for me - I'll be gone!
