Cut Back

[Verse] I cut back on the syllables just a little But still, I feel I should kill a few just to show that still I do Put forth an effort, one foot forward, thank heavens And good lord, whoever would've thought that my umbili' cord Woulda been c-cut-cut from the s-s-same cloth? There's no other name, just be thankful that I came forth Temper the same, whether it's boiled or flame broiled You say my name, you bet that ass you gon' pay for it Just the respect, it's not the crown that I came for But if you feel like passin' it around, well then, Jay, throw it 'Cause we all go straight toward it, if not, I just wait for it The other skateboard, got a couple of scrapes forget about it I'm stuck in this rut, but I'll get up out it I always do, I ain't gon' sit here and argue about it I come up out of that gutter, I just crawled through up out it I'm back, I'm sorry, I feel awful about it
