Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah
Bad and evil is (Back)
[Verse 2]
Uh, we 'bout to get into a tale of a gunner that details the dungeon
Just as the pale moon illuminates the hail and thunderin'
'01's the year where I fell from blunderin'
Shady lifted his wing, then I fell from under it
Now I'm free-fallin', my career's gone into recallin'
Regardless of whose fault, I was speedballin'
God bubble wrapped me and dropped me on top of the Earth
Then Marshall doubled back and got me from on top of a hearse
I'm alive, ****, Justin T ain't got nothin' on me
'Cause I done cried Mary J. Blige rivers
I realized that God's with us
Soon as I decided to put that bottle down
And pick up my Todd Bridges
The writin's on the wall
Since **** seen me at the baseball game with Shady and Jay-Z
Suddenly everybody calls
Like I'm just checkin' on you, dawg
While I throw up this message on the stall
[Verse 3]
When them bottles stop poppin' and them dollars start stoppin'
Do what you did to get it and don't stop
I made a promise to my mama, I'ma outlive her
How can I be a quitter when haters don't stop?
I'm living proof, ****
It's pretty safe to say
God giveth and God taketh away
It's the worldwide American way
I'm livin' proof, ****
[Verse 4]
Your body language is sayin' your confidence is gone
Well, pick ya ass up, lil' homie, come on
You just gon' sit there and take it or make 'em suck it?
Tell 'em where to shove it, straight up
You gon' make love to the world or you gon' fuck it?
The last time that life kicked me in the ass
I pulled down its pants and put a foot up its ass
Man, what a catastrophe it'd be for me to be a bitch-ass pussy
And not open a can of whoop-ass, let you pissants whoop me
Will be the day I say I ate poop, shit
The day that I don't straight shoot
I'll drop outta my anti-women hate group
Say I'm a sissy faggot, record it, play it back
And put it on straight loop
You haters look like you ate a grapefruit
You see me climbin' back on that wagon
Got my swagger back, I was draggin'
Hopped back on it, grabbed the reigns on that bastard
And came back on 'em without remorse
Man, of course I'm a one-trick pony
'Cause I'll be screamin' on these whores till I'm hoarse
[Verse 5]
When them bottles stop poppin' and them dollars start stoppin'
Do what you did to get it and don't stop
I made a promise to my mama, I'ma outlive her
How can I be a quitter when haters don't stop?
I'm livin' proof, ****
It's pretty safe to say
God giveth and God taketh away
It's the worldwide American way
I'm livin' proof, ****
[Verse 6]
Nah, I ain't fadin' yet, I'd rather stay and rep
I mighta made a debt
But I find excitement in wonderin' what I'ma write next
So I don't stay in debt
Me broke, you might as well cut the embryo outta my mama
And play catch with the baby with AKs with baby bayonets
I'ma get rich or I'ma die tryin'
That's why it's either kill or be killed
So call me suicide, homicide Ryan
[Verse 7]
There's a bomb inside my head, I'm a live wire
I am on the edge, teeterin' on it like a totter
I might get on a nut like a tire iron
I have no desire stoppin', so why would I drop and roll?
That's how much on fire I am
Rapper are fun and I'm the time 'cause I'm just flyin' by 'em
Man, I'm laughin' at 'em the entire time, why am I up?
'Cause tribulations I have triumphed, bitch, I'm fired up
So one time for me, just let your fuckin' lighters light the sky up
[Verse 8]
When them bottles stop poppin' and them dollars start stoppin'
Do what you did to get it and don't stop
I made a promise to my mama, I'ma outlive her
How can I be a quitter when haters don't stop?
I'm livin' proof, ****
It's pretty safe to say
God giveth and God taketh away
It's the worldwide American way
I'm livin' proof, ****
