What's the meaning?
What's the meaning of life?

It's the thought of a ride that make my eyes wide
I'm caught up, I'm tryna make all of my dreams materialize
So I sorta say my goodbyes to the straight and narrow
I found a new route, you 'bout to see my life change
I make the means justify the ends
I make the cream, materialize keys to a Benz
And so I'm rollin' for now
Holdin' down the fort, who's controllin'?
The ground's gotta blow 'em, yep, y'all shoulda told 'em
Uh, my first felony's approachin'
Copped my first key, took a freeze, now I'm frozen
I bought a black MAC, I'm outta control
Losin' bankrolls on blackjack, you gotta know
It always crossed my mind
That feds be tappin' the lines like Gregory Hines (uh, uh, uh)
Still on the phone, discussin' my biz
Like it could never be mines
I know the price, know the risk
Know the wrongs and the rights
Still my blood flows ice, it's just my life (uh)

I like the bass with the ass, splashin' cold cash (uh)
The Big Willie get you chilly when I pass
Is it just a mirage? All these girls, thank you God
Is this world my world? Am I the star of stars?
Baby, pimped out, I'm gettin' too large and smokin' cigars
All chicks is hollerin' about Jigga, the whole city's buzzin'
Wasn't checkin for me a dozen or so months ago
Now I'm all they know, I'm a person (yeah)
Lettin' the Cristal's breathe
At the Barnacle Bar, under my sleeve, vernacular, fifty G's
I'm talkin' big cheese, you gotta be down to dig these (uh)
Give me a rush like you wouldn't believe
My head's about to bust
Acceleratin' what drives me
Hope I don't gotta die to see, see, I can't lie to me
I know the price, know the risk
Know the wrongs and the rights (uh)
Still my blood flows ice, it's just my life

Uh, from the beginnin', see, we never seen the endin'
Runnin' up in all the women, all the linen
All the jewels, huh
We sported Pele's, gold Dada's and Pirelli's
Sports cars, the good life'll give you a belly
But that's cool, as I zone in the Al Capone, watch me
'Cause the Medusa's head on Versace turned me to stone
Now my poems just ain't poems
They bloody when I recite 'em
Bones get disconnected like the phones
Now, I'm a hardened criminal with game
Like the Garden, all my penpals life controlled by the warden
Still the thrill makes me blind to the fact
I could do real time, I'm a prisoner of my crimes
Know the price, know the risk
Know the wrongs and the rights
Now I'm incarcerated for my life

There's some like, two flies came out your mouth with no wings
Stinking bitch

Fuck you, gangbang who? (You fucking bitch?)
