You can break my bones But your heart of stone can't break the seal Can't break the seal
That's right I'm on the edge Damn right I'm on the line Blame it on my attitude And the thoughts that's on my mind All because I came up on the poorer side Where the don't provide Over time you tend to feel like you supposed to sail Or you supposed to fail, or you supposed to die Or you supposed to fly Decatur's own, poster child My "day one team" still hold me down New niggas just want to get closer now I'm like hold up now What do I know you now? We are we homies now? Lookin' at me like I'm holdin' out What do I owe you now? It ain't shit that nobody can tell me They look at my train of thought And they try to figure a way to derail me But the way that they verbal assaultin' As big as they thought it was not necessarily That's the way it is so apparently One day you're the hero, the next you're the villain Your own people ready to bury ya
You can break my bones But your heart of stone can't break the seal Can't break the seal You can take all I own But you can never take the soul away from me Away from me
Rest in peace, rest in peace To my pastor, rest in peace Can't look back at yesterday What can they say, what's left to see? I flip the style up and became the thing they said I'd never be Whatever obstacle they threw I have surpassed successfully And you can try to overlook me but I'm too much of a giant And if I ain't at the top, shit I must be right beside it So don't try to sell me bullshit, I'm too gifted to buy it If I sold common sense, you'd be too stupid to buy it, uhh I can't dumb it down, how the fuck I sound? Tryin' to dumb it down You just thought you knew me 'til you figured out What I was about Cause what I was is not the same as now I ain't jaded that's just how I view the game and how I play it It's just greed and entertainment But it ain't so entertainin' When niggas is hungry and you in they city You lookin' like money and fingers is itchin' You won't see it comin' you totally ignorant to it No one in your clique is a shooter Every killer say that he'll do it Every nigga claim that they is the truest But you couldn't prove it until they go through it When temperatures flare up and niggas get stupid There's no longer hype it's no longer 'bout music There's no more illusion No more confusion Know who you can trust, who you can fuck That bitch that you with, she settin' you up But never forget that karma's a bitch When she comes around, remember to duck (duck)
You can break my bones But your heart of stone can't break the seal Can't break the seal You can take all I own But you can never take the soul away from me Away from me
