Verse 1
sick with the poison like a venemous elephant
negligent so intelligence speaks on irrelevance
I'm not on crack rocks in socks and poppin glocks rap
I'm on stocks and bonds invested to buy train tracks
Gawz rapped while untreated keep injuries stacked
Its the difference between me and the way they interact
what seemed like a plan often is done on a whim
it's the amount of skill dedicate to blaze paths within
i've always been on a grown mans mindstate
old soul they say is what makes me irate
but you won't ever see me mad or lose my temper
never shaken or stirred you can use a blender
to get in a mix up tricks up and out of the bag
more upset than your old lady getting up on her rag
or raggin on the countless times you lag
nasty but nature it's own way to cleanse it sure has

Chrous
let the cream rise to the top
cash rules everything around so we never stop
cough cough
or ever quit
cough cough
we make em sick

Verse 2
nas ain't no second childhood up in here
lessons from adolescence is what is to be held near
do your shows in your little square circles
need to shift shapes before all these people hurt you
awol no need for velvet ropes
just music that evokes
hope and memories
now he broke and filed down emery
you can get famous
wait until you're nameless
places forth back pacing
faces catching cases
got gamed like NBA it's amazin
shoot from inside the court blazing
3 points 3 strikes 3 fights 3 rights
amendments I ain't even housing them like
within my quarters discredited soldiers
know no difference between rocks and a boulder
I could've told ya but you'd rather hold up
gold dust they sold us
fear strikes when we roll up

Chorus
let the cream rise to the top
cash rules everything around so we never stop
cough cough
or ever quit
cough cough
we make em sick

Verse 3
hard work beats talent when talent refuses to work hard
back in the day we'd just say get up on your bars
dumbed down like no electronics in a car
no power to steer stay struggling from the start
no ignition to get past any crucial parts
pieces are left back pickup for all the narcs
reverse engineer try to leave a new mark
but like Chinese auto it just falls apart
a stones throw away from galleries peanuts butter
wolf it down so fast choke on food of words you mutter
why keep all of those feelings under
shudder at the thought come through all your stutters
so live vicariously through me
I shalt not want what I can't be
I shalt not flaunt that of which I can't see
I shalt not front about my l i f e
