Been takin’ hits, didn’t think I’d ever make it,
Came back in the 8th like Ali, that’s king shit,
Used to be the rebel ragin’, a loser or a heathen,
Turned my mind to reason, then rivals got a beating,

Who beefin’? Send the cattle train my way,
Turn ‘em to steak, sell ‘em, raise the stakes,
Make the pay raise, make the wage elevate,
Make the fees disintegrate, make the interest go away,

Her interest can’t delay, her eyes locked, can’t stray,
I pray we make it to tomorrow and forget the follies of today,
Skate on roads that are rough like waves,
Can’t be bored when the world’s all craz-y,

Hazy since lazy days when you smoked a bag to kill the pain,
Teenage angst gone when the american spirits lead the train,
Light the bulb and in our names, we claim the kingdom that come,
I ain’t see a better leader, no one more clever, not one, (cept us)

Destruction leads to a very rough road,
But it also breeds creation,
Destruction leads to a very rough road,
But it also breeds creation.

On my born day, I had life after death,
Some say I’m Biggie in white flesh,
I’m from places so poor pleasure never enters their address,
Like honestly when it’s great, I feel a disaster’s a moment away,

Flow like I don’t care today, but ambition never let’s me laze,
Goals to conquer, quick or competition will take your place,
On pace to be the biggest that ever did it, my whole brain is laced,
Giving you a taste of what I spit, lyrics causin’ a murder case,

Heroic since the playground days, now just stoic, hit the chronic and gaze,
Blaze till the fires of the Armageddon burn up my face,
Stay with my day one soldiers, scout a way out the hellish landscapes,
Embellish nothin’ so that truth can finally be exposed to my fanbase,

I toke, don’t give a damn what they say, I’m a man who’s brave,
Took a lane less ridden, accelerated till out Plato’s cave,
I’ve seen them tamed, domesticated and so estranged,
So I became strange to escape a maniacal, man-made game,

Destruction leads to a very rough road,
But it also breeds creation,
Destruction leads to a very rough road,
But it also breeds creation.

Just say know, no, not like that, add a k to the front of that,
Y’know? Go, go, heart beatin’, race-car engine,
Faces all in my direction, I got ‘em hangin’ at my attention,
I’m the kid from detention, looking for redemption,

Always felt like an Atheist, took shrooms, then knew I was wrong,
But still always doubtin’, cause I got a list of bullshit 3 miles long,
Then discovered melodies, transfixed my eyes and inhibition gone,
Found the spirit of God within the sounds of my favorite songs,

Big ol’ bong, and the potent something strong,
And the goings always on, I mean the vibes always like you belong,
The tribes ain’t tykes no more, time passes and you gotta be calm,
Still got CD-ROMs in our palms, difference is now we under palms,

Around since Saddam, packin’ heat like the Khans,
Got the heart of Casanova and the mind of James Bond,
I take the world head-on, been that way since young,
Ain’t changin’ ‘till the systems different, reflecting what we want,

Destruction leads to a very rough road,
But it also breeds creation,
Destruction leads to a very rough road,
But it also breeds creation.
