Jennings drop 36 And that's a definition of, when pain meets love Then it turns to gain, then you earn your name Them girls come when you earn your fame Get off me, I'm too hot, you can't burn a flame And my teacher told me that my rap dreams were "niggerish" I still pursued 'em even though it seemed ridiculous The taste of success bittersweet like licorice A flight with the wings of Icarus And when I achieved, I returned with much satisfaction To reply Michael Jackson was not Anglo-Saxon So back to my "niggerish" dreams of riches More money, more cars, more rings and b*tches Yeah many believe in God but they ain't religious I'm suspicious, I believe in them digits I believe in them digits [Hook] So picture me above the sky Shining brighter than sunlight I'ma write our name in the stars So everybody knows who we are And I'ma be about, be about, be about, be about, be about, be about it Before they even think about, think about, think about, think about, think about, think about it Said I'ma be about, be about, be about, be about, be about, be about it Before they even think about, think about, think about, think about, think about, think about it [Verse 2: Ryan Leslie] Yea, let the Black Flag fly uh Yea, and it's a waste when this new money can't buy taste Bought yourself some Versace, mispronounced it Vercese It's my time, blow your mind like an ounce to the face Yea I do believe in miracles, evidence so empirical You could see the way I climbed up the ladder Education -- Ivy League, I'm talkin' mind over matter And so called innovators is always asking for favors Then they take the credit to the fruits of your labor But not me, I'm a beast, ask Jay Elec or Jeezy Not many can say they play keys with Yeezy Or they had a Cover Girl on her knees to please me I can't leave the game, not yet, it still needs me Uh, so let the Black Flag fly My vision of ascending to heights that rap can't buy Is fully realized when I open my eyes and stop dreaming I'm stuntin' while you lames is scheming Kiss the ring, I got the gifts of a king [Hook]
