This ain't the encore, this ain't the outro
Just got one more thought before I'm out yo
But I'ma let it out slow, the casserole
Slow simmer, been a cold winter, that I know
No chinchilla, no rizzla'
Out those without an outpost
Cold coming from my mouth
Know blowing out smoke not, never not hot air
Grab a heart but the pot better, now the low
Whatever they had to grab or have or had to smoke
But now that I'm back home, want the whole pound though and one more
Couple ounces not enough in this scoundrel
Held myself accountable, never got counseled
Wasn't proud of it, that's just how it went
But things can go south, polar opposite of how'd you expect
Broke - Nothing to show for all your struggle
Don't fall, back on the wall, lost the job, album ain't sold
Came through it, a face to the wall ain't do it
Can't prove it, guide by the Lord
Locked behind bars but God knows how long, no wonder can solve
And after all that they gon' pile more on top of the load
Even when they let you out, still out on parole
But I swear you gon' get out of that hole that hold they had on you
Shed and show how you were shrouded in gold
There's always one more thing to do before you let it all go
Get that rope up off of your throat
Thought it was lost, came back washed on the shore
Saw in awe, thought it was gone, had it all wrong
And that goes for anyone
A lasso, and that's ten of all my valuables
Anything owned
No, it don't account for half of my folk
Had a crib, had to make something more out of it throw
That extra mattress on the ground, sleeping back to the floor
Now the house, the alcove, going out of control
And MIKE, still got one more poem I haven't told
I would like to add
There's really one thing you got to know
Listen, forgot to mention
What?
(MIKE think about it)
Lost sight but now I'm seeing more
I can't pretend to live the life I know that she adore
Long nights, less reinforced
All the friends, the times they show me and more
It's aight, it's not either or
A cold eyes, all ice, I just need a torch
I know niggas gon' lie in the heat of war
But some niggas stay inside, they ain't reach the door
Can't be stingy with this pride like I ain't eat before
I hear singing through the sky, such a sweet allure
Little phoenix when I rise from beneath the floor
I put my soul inside these lines, now I can key a Ford
Put some hope inside the God, now I'ma bring a fortune
I pulled the dice off of the creaky floor
I'm over hot they way I need to orbit
This is one thing that I need a course
But for most it might not be important
Be redundant when they keep it short
It's some misses that can't be aborted
If you flunked, it got to be a sport
It's for my nieces 'cause they need a portion
And be cautious with who leading, you could be extorted
I remember since a teen when the dreaming foreign
Being careful not to scream when I be recording
Big MIKE
