Yeah
Uh-huh
Thank God
For real
Thank God we prosperous
School of hard knocks the only one
That gave us scholarships
Had to hustle, that was obvious
I′ma keep it real, I don't do politics
Fuck the senate, fuck the lobbyists
Fuck a clown, fuck they audience
You can′t pull and squeeze and make me sing
I'm not accordion
I'm just another star in the galaxy
Praise the Guardian
Alhamdulillah
Grateful for Him blessin′ me
With this humble thought
Could easily get caught up in myself
When I′m increasin' my wealth
And rappin′ like the belt restin' on my arm
She say she know I′ma make it
Like she read my palm
You know I love her, man she know my mom
We locked in, ain't no off and on
And it′s a lot of things I can't say
Just off the dome
Sometimes I gotta be with my thoughts alone
I thrive in isolation
I know some niggas who lost they life
'Cause they could not be patient
I understand, ′cause I could not be waitin′
12 an hour or full time hustlin' as ya occupation?
Easy choice, but the cops is waitin′
So is the apartments tryna tell me vacate
I'd give up, if they could have it they way
This ain′t no time to play it safe
Juugs and weed kept me straight
I couldn't find no other way
Then God gave J.A. a payday
Thank God we prosperous
School of hard knocks the only one

You feel me yet?
You see me winnin', but you seem upset
You see success, you ain′t see the reps
You see the profit, you ain't see the debts
Ain′t scared of heights
Ain't tryna see the depths
Risk takin′, that's the way we livin'
Tryna minimize the losses
And that painful feeling
Couple niggas crossed me
And I can′t forgive em
Some bitches lost me, but I can′t forget em
Take my experiences and run with it
They say when you young, just have fun with it
And when you find the one, then be done with it
And know they ain't the one
If they ain′t nun different
And Jordan the 1, I'm like Ant Edwards
The way these niggas actin′
Could catch 'em at the Edward′s
Niggas pullin' strings on demons
They not playin' Schecters
The shit is chess
It′d be too easy if this shit was checkers

(And the same God that he says, uh
That he expresses the existence of
Is the God that the Christians profess
To believe in, themselves
And the God that the Jews believe in
One God, the creator of the universe
The Muslims believe in the God
That created the universe
And I think the Christians do
And the Jews do
Now, as long as all of them
Are talking about the creator, uh
The Jews may call him Jehovah
And Christians may have another name for Him
Those who are Arabic speaking
Refer to him as Allah
Well, we believe in the same God)

(Bismillah al rahman al rahim
I speak in the name of God with the help of God
For I can do nothing without His help
But with His help, there is nothing
That I am not able to do
But
There are Christians and Muslims and Hebrews
And atheists and agnostics
The prerequisite to greatness
In the divine sense of greatness
And when I say the divine sense of greatness...
When God bestows greatness on an individual...
That greatness is not temporary
Meaning it is not in the limits of the time
But when God bestows greatness on an individual
That greatness is outside of the bounds
Of the finite time of the life of that individual
But the greatness of that individual extends
Beyond his or her time into the times of others
And sometimes for hundreds and thousands
Of years, the name of that individual
Is honored and remembered, because
They have attained to true greatness
True greatness is only that which comes
With the assistance of God
Are we clear?)
(Yes sir)
