Yeah, my creator gave me the gift to create
In this mind of mine and plot our escape
If I leave from here, I'll call when I'm safe
Yeah, I call that faith
This mouth of mine has turned down water for wine
I still recall that taste of bittersweet
Like when I realize you'll never be as perfect as the one that invented me
And a world full of temptations can make you feel so incomplete
Grew up to be better than me, go farther than I can go
See farther than I can see
When my days draw to a close, breathe longer than I can breathe
And I'm fine with that
In the event I decide to move forward, what you've done
They can rewind it back
And I'm a proud parent now as I was a proud parent then
I saw you grow up to become the kind of king that I knew you'd always been
Indeed, there's a finish line for me, but for you, there's no end
So, perhaps all that work that has been done was a win
And although my intentions were for good, it still brung us to a sin
And as this vessel of mine breaks down, I know you have never bend
I'm sure as Multi is your home, hard times will come again
I set aside a book of rhymes that'll pave the way for now and then
I know forever is a mighty long time—so where should we begin?
—On the Southside 'cause I'm a country bumpkin, bumpin' out the system, **** if they don't listen
We done came a long way from niggas throwing CDs out the window like I made a frisbee
Better than veteran rapper's favorite rappers
Conscious or trappers and I'm Mississippi
Dirty Southern motha****a kicking
Shittin' on niggas, my rhyme flow
Hands-'hind-back, eyes blind fold
Mind, body, and soul connected to the Most High
Even when times got low
To be the greatest of all time, but you won geography lottery
So I keep kicking, flipping tables, chosen and favored
**** being major when giant is greater
Fortune and fame but you **** for the label
Truth is what made me
Settle down, settle down, I was angry but I'm better now
Niggas talking raising bars, mine amongst the stars
Give it time to level out
If you worried about the flow, I'll make a beat
Write you a hook that you repeat
Never credit me, separately sold
Slick as Giuseppes on slippery floors
While dreaming of plaques and selling out shows
Multi-alumni forever the fours
