I & Me

[Intro: Woman talking]

Royce is goin' to fuckin' kill you

[Royce da 5'9" imitating 2Pac]

Ha, true motherfuckers know

This be the realest shit I ever wrote

Yeah, up in the studio gettin' blowed

Truest shit I ever spoke

[Verse 1: Royce da 5'9"]

How can I go from rockin' with Dre to fallin' out with Shady

To poppin' my Glock on the block to droppin' on Koch!

Mistakes that I've made, I've learned to regret

Impatiently we blazin' them AK's, to earn the respect

I done been in the trenches for years, in this rap shit

Where my name is mentioned is fear, compared to that shit

I done paid my dues, I done learned more from my mistakes

Than I done learned in any grade in my school

I could have made you today, I could raise ya brow

On a label that's foul or on a Major with radio play

I can guide myself, through the game myself

Give you the chills, kill hip hop and save myself

I learned to behave myself, people choose sides when

They figure you die, I learned they take away my wealth

All these niggas that used to page me, everyday that I dealt

But they all gone, y'all wrong, I page myself, because

[Chorus: Royce da 5'9"]

I do this music for me, I take time and put pride in it

This music is me, it's no ruinin' me

I'm the truest MC, as hot as you need me to be, as cool as can be

If you was true as me, then this for you, but I do it for I

I do this music for me, I take time and put pride in it

This music is me, it's no ruinin' me

I'm the truest MC, as hot as you need me to be, as cool as can be

If you was true as me, then this for you, but I do it for me

[Verse 2: Royce da 5'9"]

Every breath that I breathe, every second I have

To be in the lab, with young man, makin' a track at least

In the basement, rappin' in peace, patiently waiting

To blow up and grow up, back and away from this rappin' beef shit

All of that should cease, 'cause I feel like quittin'

Back to the factory, rap for ME, when I feel like spittin'

Go out and kill a clown a day, don't call me Royce no more

It's Ryan, I just threw Detroit's crown away!

It's only so many times, I could let my temper get tested

I can't handle it, I'll eventually get arrested

I'm on the verge of doin' some things, that won't help - shit!

Take myself away from my family, is so selfish

I can't help shit, lately I been ignorin' rules

You takin' care of too many people, to go and lose

(I) do my music and speak truly, without the influence of movies

Or these fools in the streets that wanna do me, nigga

[Chorus: Royce da 5'9"]

I do this music for me, I take time and put pride in it

This music is me, it's no ruinin' me

I'm the truest MC, as hot as you need me to be, as cool as can be

If you was true as me, then this for you, but I do it for I

I do this music for me, I take time and put pride in it

This music is me, it's no ruinin' me

I'm the truest MC, as hot as you need me to be, as cool as can be

If you was true as me, then this for you, but I do it for me

[Outro: Royce da 5'9" imitating 2Pac]

True motherfuckers know

This be the realest shit I ever wrote

Yeah, up in the studio gettin' blowed

Truest shit I ever spoke

Yeah, hopin' you true motherfuckers know

This be the realest shit I ever wrote

Yeah, up in the studio gettin' blowed

Truest shit I ever spoke
