When They Come For Me (Live from Paris, 2010)
I am not a pattern to be followed
The pill that I'm on is a tough one to swallow
I'm not a criminal, not a role model
Not a born leader, I'm a tough act to follow
I am not the fortune and the fame
Or the same verse telling you to forfeit the game
I came in the ring like a dog on a chain
And you found out that the underbelly's sicker than it seems
And it seems ugly but it can get worse
'Cause even a blueprint is a gift and a curse
'Cause what you got a theory about how the thing works
Everybody wants the next thing to be just like the first
And I'm not a robot, I'm not a monkey
I will not dance even if the beat's funky
Opposite of lazy, far from a punk
Ya'all oughta stop talking, start trying to catch up ************
And all the people say
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)
Try and catch up ************
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)
Lauryn said money change situations
Big said it increases the complication
Kaine said don't step I ain't the one
Chuck said an Uzi weighs a ************* tone
And I'm just a student of the game that they taught me
Rocking every stage and every place that they brought me
I'm awfully underrated, prepared to be corrected
And solely I'll sink ya and I'm going sing it for the record
I am the opposite of wack
Opposite of weak
Opposite a slack, synonym of a hit
Synonym of a crack, closest to the peak Far from a punk ya'll ought to stop talking
Start trying to catch up ************
And all the people say
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)
Try and catch up ************
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)
Oh when they come for me
Come for me, I'll be gone
Oh when they come for me
Come for me, I'll be gone
Oh when they come for me
Come for me, I'll be gone
And all the people say
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)
Try to catch up ************
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)
And all the people say
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)
Try to catch up ************
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)
