The Black Flag

    Your red lights
    Ain’t never slowing me down, oh no no

    Uh yea
    My passion – a reason for my existence
    My success the product of my persistence
    Self-made, i did it with no assistance
    Luxury suite view through these cartier lenses
    Huh, and we started in the nose bleeds
    No my feet up on the wood in my own seats
    Court-side and it’s cheap bucks versus knicks
    Watch my homie b janice, drop 36
    And that’s a definition of, when pain meets love
    And it turns the game, and you earn your name
    Then girl come, will you earn your fame?
    Get off me, i’m too hot, you can’t burn a flame
    And my teacher told me, got my rap dreams whooped
    I still pursuit even though i seem ridiculous
    The taste of success bittersweet like licorice
    I fly with the wings of icarus
    And when i achieve, i could turn with much satisfaction
    To reply michael jackson was not ignorant sexist
    So back to my dreams of riches
    More money, more balls, more rings ---
    Hear me?
    Yet many believe in god but they ain’t religious
    I’m suspicious, i believe in them digits
    I believe in them digits

    So picture me above the sky
    Shine a brighter day, sunlight
    I’mma find a name in the stars
    So everybody knows who we are

    And i’mma be about, be about, be about, be about, be about, be about it
    Before they even think about, think about, think about, think about, think about, think about it
    Said i’mma be about, be about, be about, be about, be about, be about it
    Before they even think about, think about, think about, think about, think about, think about it

    Yea, let the black flag fly uh
    Yea, and it’s a waste when this new money can’t buy taste
    Bought their selves some versace, mispronounce it vercese
    It’s my time, blow your mind like an ounce to the face
    Yea i do believe in miracles, heaven is so empirical
    You could see the way i climbed up the ladder
    Education – ivy league, i’m talkin mind over matter
    And so called innovators is always asking for favors
    Then they take the credit to the fruit of your labor
    But not me, i’m a beast, that’s jf leccord jeezy
    Not many can say they play keys with eas-e
    Or they had a couple girl on their knees to please me
    I can’t leave the game, not yet, it still needs me

    Uh, so let the black flag fly
    My vision of ascending the heights that rap can’t buy
    It’s fully realize when i open my eyes and stop dreaming
    I’m stuntin while you lames is scheming
    Kiss the ring, i got the gifts of a king

    So picture me above the sky
    Shine a brighter day, sunlight
    I’mma find a name in the stars
    So everybody knows who we are

    And i’mma be about, be about, be about, be about, be about, be about it
    Before they even think about, think about, think about, think about, think about, think about it
    Said i’mma be about, be about, be about, be about, be about, be about it
    Before they even think about, think about, think about, think about, think about, think about it

    Yea, let the black flag fly uh yea
