Текст песни The Black Flag

Your red lights
ain't never slowing me down, oh no no

Uh yeah
My passion a reason of my existence
my success the product of my persistence
self-made, I did it with no assistance
luxury suit view through these Cartier lenses
huh, and we started in the nose bleeds
now my feet up on the weed 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 dreames 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..
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'ma find a name in the stars
so everybody knows who we are.

And I'ma 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'ma 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

Yeah let the black flag fly uh
yeah, and it's a waste when this new money can't buy taste
bought their selves some Versace, mispronounce it Versace
it's my time, blow your mind like an ounce to the face
yeah I do believe in miracles, heaven is so empirical
you could see the way I climbed to the ladder
education, Ivy League, I'm talking mind over matter
and so called innovators is always asking for favors
then they take the credit for the fruit of your labor
but not me, I'm a beast that's JF Leccord Jeezy
not many can say you play keys with Eas E
or they had a couple girl on their knees you please me
I can't leave the game, not yet, it still needs me

Oh, 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 your 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'ma find a name in the stars
so everybody knows who we are.

And I'ma 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'ma 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
