Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Cut the music up, please
Yeah, I should never leave hip-hop
Controlled by my two hands, they go tick-tock
Around the clock, yes, it's my time, my throne
Better know the time of day in any fucking time zone
I'm feeling like I'm on top of the rhinestone
Pulling the ladder from Heaven, about to climb home
Mental thoughts are sharper than a pine cone
In this world of numbers, I keep my nine on
And I don't go to church because the line long
And the preacher, he be getting his shine on
But I know my lord, I am God's own
Back to my hands, tick-tick, a time bomb
Boom
[Verse 2]
Yeah, don't you know I'll be
Yeah, don't you know I'll be
Yeah, don't you know I'll be
I'll be here 'cause I won't quit, yeah
You can try to lock me up
You can try to break me down
But I stay strong, it's my throne
Can't stop now 'cause that ain't me
You can try to lock me up
You can try to break me down
But I stay strong, it's my throne
Can't stop now 'cause that ain't me
[Verse 3]
Try to stay afloat on my inner tube
When they turn my city into a swimming pool
Before that, it was a living cesspool
We gotta get on our shit like gnats do
Polices be on my tip like hats do
But I just stay strong like blacks do
Never saved by the bell in a black school
And I stay in trouble like Zack do
And in this game, nobody's on my plateau
Therefore my name remains like a tattoo
Yes, I take giant steps in Shaq boots
B-I-R-D man junior or Weezy F Baby, baby
[Verse 4]
Yeah, don't you know I'll be
Yeah, don't you know I'll be
Yeah, don't you know I'll be
I'll be here 'cause I won't quit, yeah
You can try to lock me up
You can try to break me down
But I stay strong, it's my throne
Can't stop now 'cause that ain't me
You can try to lock me up
You can try to break me down
But I stay strong, it's my throne
Can't stop now 'cause that ain't me
[Verse 5]
(That ain't me)
You see, I won't stop
(That ain't me)
Ooh, no, I won't quit
(That ain't me)
Ooh, no, I won't stop
(That ain't me)
'Cause that ain't me
[Verse 6]
Alright, alright, alright, alright, I'm in their conversations
The title's up for grab, I'm into confiscation
Punched, shot and stabbed, now you're the doctor's patient
Wild like an Arab from the Islamic nation
I get money 'round the clock, ain't got no time for hating
And these **** ain't shit, like they're constipated
I get the coupe with the kit, watch me lobster red it
Drop the top at the light, that's where I'll be heading
So far ahead of them, I feel outdated
But I feel like electric like I'm Raiden
Used to play Mortal Kombat when I was a couch potato
And now I'm coming out with faders, no homo
[Verse 7]
Yeah, don't you know I'll be
Yeah, don't you know I'll be
Yeah, don't you know I'll be
I'll be here 'cause I won't quit, yeah
You can try to lock me up
You can try to break me down
But I stay strong, it's my throne
Can't stop now 'cause that ain't me
You can try to lock me up
You can try to break me down
But I stay strong, it's my throne
Can't stop now 'cause that ain't me
[Verse 8]
(That ain't me)
You see, I won't stop
(That ain't me)
Oh, no, I can't stop
(That ain't me)
'Cause I won't quit, no, I won't quit
(That ain't me)
No, that ain't me
