5.When They Come For Me

I am not a pattern that we follow
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 game
Or the same person telling you to forfeit the game
I came in the ring like a dog on a chain
And found out the underbelly's sicker than it seems
And it seems ugly but it can get worse
Because even a blueprint is a gift and a curse
Because once you got a theory of how the thing works
Everybody wants the next thing to be 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
Y'all ought to stop talking start trying to catch up
motherfucker

And all the people say
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)
Try and catch up motherfucker
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)

Lauryn said money changes situation
Big said it increase the complication
Kaine said don't step I ain't the one
Chuck said an uzi weighs a motherfucking ton

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 but pay me to correct it
And so it ain't mistaken I'm gonna state it for the record
I am the opposite of where
I got this a weak
Opposite of slack synonym of heat
Sending them a crack closest to a peak
Far from a punk
Ya'll ought to stop talking start trying to catch up
motherfucker

And all the people say
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)
Try and catch up motherfucker
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)

But when they come for me
Come for me, I'll be gone
But 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 motherfucker
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)
And all the people say
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)
Try to catch up motherfucker
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)
