[Intro]
("Born Sinner" Outro)
[Verse One: Speed on the Beat]
I don't need punchlines, to know I'm on mine...
Like a tweaker twerking tenaciously to vitamin C
Or a hustler trying to finish his first JOB
Or a stripper on the pole trying to getting that money
I don't want people to think, I'm just another prick
That's trying to make a hit, and dip like the Black Eyed Peas
Or that I'm trying to get a nut, like the guy watching the stripper
That takes her in the room with hopes of pussy
This is me, all me, no filters, no HD
But I'm still coming clear, get the BS outta here
If you think that this'll stop if you kill me?
We're a team, DAR, if I die three more'll replace me
I've gotta get mine, no Malcolm, but by damn near any means
And those that love me know I get pretty damn mean...
When it comes to the very things, that I'm loving
I'll go to hell and back to save even the simplest things
If it'll bring an ounce of joy to the bouncing baby boy
That's growing into a fine young man named Jovanni Malik
And even though my mom's and I have a fucked relationship
I'll still be in her corner, still trying to support her
Rest in piece to Maranda, I don't know if
This is the realest ish I've ever spat, but I honestly know that
I'm focused thanks to you, and if I didn't say it before
I owe some of my successes to you, so please know
I'm a born sinner, but aren't we all in this game of life?
Give praise to the most high, then the next they go and get high?
And I drink, I fornicate, and I hate organized religion
So I don't even know if I'm the right one to talk on the scriptures
But painting a picture through the blood-stained glasses of our youth
Praying for better days, and hoping they see the truth
From the iris hidden by eyelids, once submerged into violence
That they'll awake from their slumber before they're living in coffins
And I'm not Cole, hell I'm barely Logic
I'm just little old me. Speed, the no-fi king...
But even with that I know that the bombings from my dreams
That'll destroy stupid things will be forthcoming behind the scenes
And I pray that my team never lets me down
I've had too many of my homies turn their backs on me...
When shit got rough, and I was going through things
They'd rather guard their chick then try to aid me
(Hey...hey...
Ummm, yeah yeah yeah...
When shit got rough, and I was going through things
They'd rather guard their chick then try to aid me.)
Hey Rebecca I know you don't talk to Dre
And I know he'll probably kill me for the shit I've gotta say
But I did what I did with good intentions...
Neither of you should've been fucking around, but nobody listened
And yeah he held me down, told me about Raquel
And how I should've not fucked up with her when her tummy swelled
But I was just trying to return the favor
But pussy was the passion, and they couldn't look past shit
But naw, Dre this ain't self-righteous fuckery...
I'm just saying that after that instead of judging me
You should've seen that things weren't right and instead of ostracize
--ing me, we all could've talked and settled our minds
Yeah, I posted nudes on Flickr and shit...
And yeah, I paid you for them with Coronas that I drank
But for real I wasn't in my right mind...
Not an excuse, i just hope that next time...
If there should ever be a next time that you choose wisely
Yeah we still talk and everything but the awkward vibes, b
Still keep us from trusting one another it seems...
And I know it's not much, but dude, I'm sorry
Yeah, it's out there, Dre I'm sorry...
Kel I'm sorry, Dezzy I'm sorry...
And anybody I wronged before that was the old me
Death of the King, turned over a new leaf
Trying to right the wrongs before the world kills me
Death of the King, turned over a new leaf
Trying to right the wrongs before the world kills me (Speed)
