I gotta be honest, bragging was really not the mission
only way that they'd listen, excuse me if you hear a contradiction
yea i had a chick 'n she had give me a proposition
she was in love, til i told her french ain't my type of kissing
them execs was dissing when i walked into that def jam audition
shoulda threw my watch in they face and then say "IT'S TIME TO LISTEN!"
record labels switching, grinding cause I didn't have a pot to piss in
feeling like i was fishing, they was eating my food inside the kitchen
before the 2nd album, sophomore jinx was just superstition
who would have known that they wudda been right?, but I ain't trippin'
tryin'na be an artist, why they repaint the composition
I need recognition, recognize, ain't no competition
[Chorus:]
hmmm
They said we wont make it (make it)
but now they copying the style that they said would never blow
