Okay uh look if you wanna just keep doing the same old thing
Maybe this idea is not for you
I for one am not going to compromise my artistic integrity
And I'll tell you something else this is the show
And we're not gonna change it

Never will I ever utter never to myself
Fall in love with defeat throw my endeavors on the shelf
I never back up like Cleo Lemon on myself
Lemonade connoisseur life's lemons coming out
When life gets sour know I still devour
I remember Peabody mice crawling up the shower
Now it's motorbikes warm nights out in Maui
And white bitches and light skinned women be smiling
DC star a PG legend
MoCo phenomenon holmes I'm all of it
Yeah they all love it though critique Jon Lovitz
And whack hoes hating on key out in public
See welcome to fame where most of us is gon change
If you never do still niggas look at you strange
Niggas mostly assume niggas make up they news
Once you made it you cool they label you brand new
Really in subconscious
They see a star no longer the underdog
So nobody wanna walk with ya
They all talk like you think you was a god n'shit
But you the same that you always is
Yeah they all convinced but all for shit
This all be different if you had an office key yeah
And I'm the same on everything I love or everything I love
Please pardon my integrity

What were you thinking
What was going on in your mind
Artistic Integrity
Wh where did you come up with that
You're not artistic and have no integrity
You know you really need some help
A regular psychiatrist couldn't even help you

Check it so my chin's high like a Japanese pilot
They fronting they Charles S Dutton moving garbage
And what you calling that so called hard shit
None like me like I founded a convent
To contend my content I'm on ends meet like a vegetable omelette see
So the more you see it's few niggas speaking like me
So they put me in the box with he and he
And them which is more of a circus than a fair
They work to get there so to work to get theirs
I'll be nothing but a replica looking in the mirror
Respect still there but ya boy's right here
We apples and oranges but everybody pears
They say I'm Lupe they say I'm Lil' Wayne
They say I'm too Jay to portray new lay
They say I'm too nice to be a rapper
The prerequisite is gun clapping so what happened
They label me a backpacking nigga on fashion
I laugh at them though Mr West I ain't mad at ya
See he in his soul mode I'm in my go go
Only thing in common is these fucking Matsumotos
Yeah live from the Soho and hov told me I'd blow Joe
See I rap like a lifetime blown nose
All I know is I'm merely at Allah's nose
Meaning I'm lesser than a god but higher up than ya'll
A lion in form Matt Leinart when firing the ball
Pause Maya Angelou spawn abandoned and raised by Nas
Raised by the sharks but I'm swimming with the prawns
I found my own lane meet Mr Folarin
