Memento

[Verse] My lyrics are still astoundin' you Keep a small circle, just the people who stuck around with you And still cut it down a few I tried to be a fan, but these people you lookin' up to Of course they'll be lookin' down at you (Damn!), couldn't allow 'em to Fuck givin' 'em flowers while they here I kill 'em off, then I gladly give 'em they flowers due That's what power do, this man's enormous And never been a stranger to shinin' like Danny Torrance, huh Ran's performance, a fresh thesis This from a nigga that's been tatted with the ink from the chess pieces Best secret's never been told since seven years old I been tortured, ain't no remorse for these benevolent souls (No) I swear I seen the Devil in clothes He said, "Ain't nobody livin' that's innocent, nigga ball out The bottom's like the top, I'll be there when everything falls out Forget ya inhibitions, no virgins live in this whore house" (It's a fact) It's like Cosby walkin' through Morehouse You sleepin', I'll be tempted to victimize you, I mystify you Hero to these strong black males who failed in the system, lied to (Let's go) Been a rebel, so why would this surprise you? Group home toddler with two chrome monsters I remind 'em of Gorgeous Gangsta in his two tone Boxster (Stack) Full blown mobster, I don't know niggas who fear cases From a era where you probably got killed in them staircases Our Father, most niggas don't share graces Prayer hands under ya pic's what you get in some rare cases Look in the eyes of these tatted up tear faces Even a snake can appear gracious Yeah, every bar full of knowledge I went to prison, told my kids I went off to some college I can offer you solace, everything that glitters ain't gold Watch ya foes, only the meek can fall for mirages...
