(Handwriting's on the wall) Yeah, on the wall I'ma keep drinking til they me out this motherf*cker man
1] Excuse my of voice but today was just a bad day Label hit me about another single and said I ain't had Since Country Sh*t, hell they thought that was a regional anyway But thank God for Bun B and Ludacris they had faith That sh*t would take off and it did, guess I was too to quit I make albums not hits, these rich don't know about this But that's cool, I'm back to K.R.I.T. Wuz Here Pray to God was meant for me, a king to be my time was near Maybe I'm in vain, maybe this wasn't my lane Maybe I'm hurting myself, talking real life instead of the fame How can I change? I swear I think I'm wasting time On the phone with my pops like, "I just save some lives" I just want a deuce to ride with the I was dealt My pride be my downfall, but I ain't asking for help I wear my heart on my sleeve, don't run me cuz it bleeds No disrespect to your craft, but I make my own the handwriting.
(The on the wall...) Man the Hennessy do to a n*gga man sometimes that sh*t... I just can't hold back, you me?
2] First quarter got me like boiling water soda in it Drop my project in the pot watch it lock up like in prison prove these people wrong that don't see the vision Three nominations, number one on 106, I forgot to mention Two albums minus label support Fired my publicist cuz I what I was paying him for til I'm barely conscious, call Johnny him put y'all on 3-way immediately Cuz I'm of being lied to and I'm waging war Then I'm going to Sippi-land and I'm quitting rap Ain't bad cuz when I was poor, hell I was fat and happy Dealing with the critics and the got me trippin' my accent and my tone make it really hard to listen I was scarred but I was driven the politics came Lynching rappers and dropping albums, and watching em I mine back with fear that they might just do me the same Cuz I rebel I might get shelved, but that's of the game Hell, the handwriting...
(The on the wall...) right it's on the wall I take this sh*t man This is my life, this all ever known This all I'll ever do and I to God I won't let nobody it from me
3] I did it for all of mine and all of Ten toes deep in the I'm in I'm to lose if I'm living in sin If I play to win will I make it I'm tired of feeling my heart Lord I just scrape it out This the road less traveled, sh*t I just stay the route I hear the hate and all the betrayal I just phase it out With another shot, better it down with a glass of Crown Put on my tab, yeah I'm doing bad Cuz music's all I've ever known, sh*t, all ever had Tryna say something, do something, tryna be better much time left, I gotta make do, I can't live forever Ain't what makes me me? No smoke and no mirrors And I don't even wear Loc's, so can see me clear And you can say that I'm bitter but tell me if I'm They their noses up and talk down on Mississippi Imagine how feel to know you work hard, and you educated And they treat you like you made it The handwriting...
(The handwriting's on the wall, final curtain's about to Just no feelings left at all, the handwriting, on the wall)
