Yours truly, 
I don’t need nobody to pass judgement on me, 
I stare out at the stars, my head on the street.
My back’s against a brick, 
My head perched on the bricks, 
Just when I seem to lose it all, 
The more I seem to get. 

My back is against the wall, 
The world lies on my shoulders.
My back is against the wall, 
The world lies on my shoulders.
My back is against the wall, 
The world lies on my shoulders.
My back is against the wall, 
The world lies on my shoulders.

The man inside my mirror,
Has a cold look, he strikes fear. 
All my goals are in my sights, 
But still there’s no life here. 
From stone cold cyphers,
In third world countries,
I stare down the full moon,
And look past the stars. 
I learned legendary rappers, 
Didn’t just drop bars.
Fame, they handled that, 
Change, they handled that,
The money from the pain and the gain,
They market that, 
And when they barked at the end of their chain,
They brought them back.
That money’s crack,
Insomnia never sleeps,
Soldiers in the industry, 
Barked to the same beat. 
I sat up many nights thinking, 
Man they can’t change the kid, 
Money follows fame, 
It’s a shame the way this game is. 

I don’t need nobody to pass judgement on me, 
I stare out at the stars, my head on the street.
My back’s against a brick, 
My head perched on the bricks, 
Just when I seem to lose it all, 
The more I seem to get. 

My back is against the wall, 
The world lies on my shoulders.
My back is against the wall, 
The world lies on my shoulders.
My back is against the wall, 
The world lies on my shoulders.

Allow me to walk in the shadow, 
Of a great king Gandhi,
These people need to see,
That these slums are getting grimy. 
It’s bad not to eat for that long,
But good timing,
Secures the future quickly,
Old people are stars shining. 
My grandfather said that he cried, 
When King died, 
Lost shattered lives all televised,
And it’s crazy, 
How one bullet can change a whole nation, 
I’m feeling like only the saints,
Had great patience. 
Patience, no pride, sincerity, and purity, 
Hit them with this bounce track,
That will get them hearing me. 
Patience, no pride, sincerity, and purity, 
Hit them with this bounce track,
That will get them hearing me, hearing me. 

I don’t need nobody to pass judgement on me, 
I stare out at the stars, my head on the street.
My back’s against a brick, 
My head perched on the bricks, 
Just when I seem to lose it all, 
The more I seem to get. 

My back is against the wall, 
The world lies on my shoulders.
My back is against the wall, 
The world lies on my shoulders.
My back is against the wall, 
The world lies on my shoulders.
My back is against the wall, 
The world lies on my shoulders.
My back is against the wall, 
The world lies on my shoulders.

I don’t need nobody to pass judgement on me, 
I stare out at the stars, my head on the street.
My back’s against a brick, 
My head perched on the bricks, 
Just when I seem to lose it all, 
The more I seem to get. 

Get your back up off the wall,
Stand up, you’re on fire now,
Jig with me, vibe it out, 
Twerk something ride it out.
