Born Sinner [Deluxe]

2013

what you're 'bout to hear's a tale of glory and sin
No I.D. my mentor now let the story begin

I used to print out Nas raps and tape 'em up on my wall

than they said I'd ever do
But by time you hear this song
Sonny, my next album will already be done
And it's-it's just kinda chilling
Last year I was, I

He said he'd call her when he gets
There but her phone don't ring
And in that moment, she knows
Her dad planned the whole thing

'There are 8 million stories' and they're all made up by you
That's a lie

Yo what else think when Rush, man
Gives you the biggest medallion

I started feeling like I wasted my own time
The days and months just seem to blend as they go by
Every time I tell myself that I'm alright

hearing the speed I exhibit
And they fearing it
And steering it
This the final war I'm declaring it
By the end of this album you'll be so fucking shook

winning? Just
So that a nigga in the street
Can give me a fucking dap?
The same niggas that didn't buy
My album any fucking way
That downloaded the shit? Get

a lame I'm out here chasing glory

Glorious times immortalized by these glorious rhymes
The notorious mind
The story goes on and on and on
Glorious times

a chance
At a glance, I'm a failure
Addicted to pushing paraphernalia
But Daddy had dreams once, my eyes had a gleam once
Innocence disappeared by

This is a story, a story of who I could've become
If I'd failed to learn from my mistakes,
If I didn't ever find my sense of direction,
If I never grew

a missing uncle and another need a kidney flip
Face says I been stressed
I got a aunt getting her ass kicked by MS
Nigga, why am I here? For the look, for

You never thought you'd be bodied by a bastard
A bachelor who backspin on breakbeats
Break necks of broke souls who hate me
Hate he? you can't

not an optimal decision
But my current situation is not what I envisioned
Although I'm cornered by deadlines and ambitions
Passing through the city

pollinated by the "Be"
Pac called it the rose that rose from concrete
How do you define divine that finds street?
"Hip bop," the color of my leaves

Good times and blood stains
I'll go out with a bang for the final show
Just remember me by my notes and songs I wrote
All my imperfections,

But I'm out here by myself and wishing I was afraid
But I can thrive in the fray, you wanna drive her away?

It's the Alpha Dog homie catching you all by surprise
Fuck this writer's block like the drama from my past
Tell my life's story and put them haters

I'm still up in here
I'm hanging by a thread
Mary Jane gotta hold devil wants me dead
I'm still up in here
I'm hanging by a thread
Smoking roaches

to hear the story you gon tell on this album
Uhm, and congratulations my, my n****
Like the things you did,
Like, I never like I never ever seen

And very long story short after producing these songs and with the album in hand, just like I did with the Kickstarter. I emailed hundreds of radio

for the realness I embody 
Do you need credit for
All the souls you've touched and you put on
Do you need credit for
All the wrongs I write all by my

Maybe that's the story that helps me cope
