MJG: It ain't no changing me  no matter what you claim to see 
I can only aim to be  M J G 
If thangs seem strange to me  they can't be the same with me 
You know it's lame to be  somethin that you know is a lie 
Hoes want a nigga to try to be somethin that he ain't  
right before your eyes  livin his life in a fuckin disguise 
Follow the pack  and wind up dead last (Go on) 
Real dummy with your scared ass 
In the future, ain't nobody gonna listen to you 
(Why) Cause you do whatever to please the crew 
It's easy to - Kiss ass for your wealth, Or get cash for yourself 
I think I'll go with the green, Cause asses I do not clean 
As bad as the shit might seem, I got a get-right team 
Nigga, sensing myself and I, it ain't ever let a day go by 
Without reality checks, f*ck my salary check, 
that ain't the reason why I want respect, but you ain't finna 
distress 
I gotta keep a level head, f*ck what a devil said 
I'm stayin me, M-J fuckin G - Put your trust in me.. 

Chorus: I can't be nobody but me, and that's all I can be 
I can't be who you want me to be, cause nigga, that ain't me 
(repeat x 4) 

Eight: 100 ways to die, and I done survived 99 
99 lives lost and one of them could've been mine 
Blind with my eyes open, seein what is killin me 
Feelin what is killin me, but wantin more constantly 
Runnin from temptation, but I'm much to slow to get away 
Gang, shootin niggas and bitches fuckin with me everyday 
Man if I was lame and couldn't see em from a mile away 
Smile on their mug, and in their minds, nothin but jealousy 
Why should I get caught up in that bullshit not concernin me 
Yeah, I run with Suave and we gone ride til infinity 
Lord if I was lyin, strike me right here as I'm speakin this 
Separate the strong from the cowardly and the weak at this 

(repeat chorus x 4) 

Eight: I see him everyday, point shaven and cravin 
for the money that I be savin, and the moves that I be makin 
Breakin rules, tryin not to be one of them broke fools 
robbin niggas comin from school, thinkin that that shit is cool 
Served out, whether sober, playboy, I got heataz for ya 
Quick to shoot, because that indo boosts up my paranoia 
I rap the blues, cause the blues is what I'm livin nigga 
Surrounded my animals - livin and dyin by the trigga 
Word to me, and if that shit don't meet your expectations 
F*ck you critics, I do this for the underground nation 
Slab ridaz, nigga, drug traffickaz and jackaz 
Heat packaz, nigga, all my homeboys ain't rappaz 
And, I wouldn't say it if it wasn't necessary 
All of this is just a test, tryin to prepare me 
My future's lookin dark, and I don't think it's gettin brighter 
Forever Eightball, Pimp-Caso, Poetry writer... 

MJG: It's hard to be, something that you didn't start to be 
these streets be apart of me, until it's hard to see 
till the years when it's hard to walk, gettin old 
and, it's hard to talk, I'm on a line of chalk 
it seems thinner than a line of thread, but through all this 
still instead, I'm real after all 
Paper, short or tall - Wife, be big and small 
and still down to earth, I'll still be on the scene 
Life like a tv screen, but I keep my strength 
and I'll keep my hope (Why?) Cause I know they got me under the scope 
But, if you're lookin at me, Look close, and your ass will learn 
Maybe when you have your turn, and take a stand and shit 
You might be a man and shit, make your own plan and shit 
Cause I don't make no moves unless G want to make that move 
F*ck he and she want to make that move, I got a face that blues 
when a nigga gotta pay them dues, and they lookin at my face like Ooo 
Mane, you broke and shit, but they ain't gonna throw me out a rope 
and shit 
I'm a drown and choke and shit 
And my folkaz get clowdy with that hocus pokus shit, 
I'll be the brokest trick... 
But, I'm gone be myself, Pimp type nigga for sho' 
Once again like I did it befo', up top or below 
I'm a keep my feet on the flo', and do it in the heat or the snow 
Give me a beat and I go, Off like a champ on your ass 
Drop the mic and vamp on your ass, stick a stamp on your ass 
Send you off to camp on your ass...when I rain, I'll dampen your 
path. 

(repeat chorus ..)
