Some people work hard to be something that they're not, and I don't work at all, I'm just me. And that can bother anybody I'm not working nearly as hard as the other guys, and they don't like it.
I'm over dey heads like a bulemic on a seesaw
The reason I want to be alone, is I'm tired of all the things that went wrong that would've went right if I had did 'em on my own
Business, endorsements and things of that nature, I got into it kinda naturally. Those ventures materialised as a direct result of things that I was actually doing; all the partnerships have been organic and not necessarily etched out plans for monetary gain.

That buck that bought a bottle could have struck the lotto
Don't speak to fools, they scorn the wisdom of your words.
