Got a vision, got a dream Got a living to make I Got the munchies and craving for a piece of the cake A piece of the pie, The industry will eat you up And spit you out If you don’t know about, the inner workings of the game Man the business had me tripping thought, All I have to do was write the lyrics and the sentences And that will probably get me to the money and the riches But I was 16, so you would’ve had to pardon my naiveté (Hey) We in the belly of the beast and Lucy always present With the pen and the contract You don’t read, simply cause the prospect of your dreams Becoming a reality is overwhelming So you sign without thinking (Sign without thinking) Label gives you everything you want (Everything you want) All except the money (All except the money) But now we see that you’re a star You got to protect yourself Hmmmm You got to protect yourself Hmmmm You got to protect yourself Wealth ain’t shit without health Shit is funny Cigarillos on my breath got my voice all hazy Black Lungs black lips fast food quick flings Cognac sipping Mary Jane sitting with me The baddest of the baddest With the fattest of the asses Fill my glass up as I pass up on Any opportunity to exercise, I exercise my mind But it’s all about balance See most of my habits I got Because of my talent (Talent)(Talent)(Talent) Every action has a reaction My reaction to the fact that I’ve got a passion Has resulted in my (Resulted in your) Consumption of narcotics and depletion of my (Depletion of your) Energy physically mentally (Woah) But it’s twisted cause I love it And this music gives me life I just gotta do it right Maintain your health, Grow your mind Protect yourself (Protect Your) (Protect Yourself) (Protect Your, Wait) (Protect Your) (Protect Yourself) (Protect Your, Wait) (Protect Your) (Protect Yourself) (Protect Your, Wait) (Protect Your) You got to protect yourself Hmmmm You got to protect yourself Hmmmm You got to protect yourself Hayo weh Hayo weh Hayo weh Hayo weh Hayo weh I was talking to my nigga Bout the fluctuations of our emotions You know we open up to certain people only But only with certain things Cause the thing is... we all got trust issues
