It was all good until my shoes got stepped on
bullet proof teflon, couldn't keep your head on
I'm a basehead enthusiast play dead like Julius Caesar
Makaveli then I come back and kill Brutus for doing it
Roofie is a mastodon better keep your cameras on
benefit yourself by paying heed to any track I'm on
(took shit as a kid) I'm a man now hoe
shit, either way I always stood on my own
spent plenty Christmas Eve's just chilling alone
had plenty proud moments with nobody there to notice
shit's cool though it made me independent as fuck
gotta get a leg up, prove I'm a talented one
and then I proved it, but talent never sold a record
and you can sell records without talent so god dammit
what should I do? where should I move?
what should I say to prove that I could handle the juice?
you should've known it by now it's like I'm dangling food
in front of everyone but never give em' nothing to chew
I'm a puzzle piece connector, a refugee defector
just searching for my soul can you help me find treasure?
can you help me find treasure?
(I know, I know, I know, I know)
can you help me find treasure?
(yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo) X2
Ayo they never seen a piece of gold shine like this
from the 956, how could my hindsight miss?
I want everybody's hands to come up at the same time
let's start a earthquake from Houston to Shanghai
looking to zone out, fusing the mainlines
we looking for hangtime you cooking the same rhymes (stupid)
thought no one would notice? you phony dishonest
let me show these opponents how I could formally roast em'
and it's like that hi-jack the liquor truck
I am the vicious one sit down it's just begun
I'm not the topic of the daily but I was an entertainer once
I had the crowd rocking left to right and they were paying us
thinking bout the future see me saying the shit
currently the way I feel you couldn't pay me to quit
It's like I know what I possess could care less if you see it
not only am I fresh I'm that breath that you needed (bitch)
(now, now do you love it, love it, love it)
can you help me find treasure?
(yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo)
I said, can you help me find treasure?
(from the front to the back they yell)
can you help me find treasure?
Sir, I'd like to speak on behalf of the people…
Take me where the hours don't pass
lead me through the woods to that flower shaped pebble stone path
where the devils and the angels are equal
cause…neither is perfect…celestial or not
couldn't make it to church cause the preacher got robbed
it was a real sad sight to say the least (real sad)
you see his plagiaries drove an honest man crazy
cause he...couldn't stand the sight of preacher man and wife banging knees
so he…took a leap of faith broke into his place
stole every bible and…while he recited them
took every outfit that gave the man a title
now he's in a state of grace
broke every cross that he saw on the wall
but not for himself in the name of the lord
grabbed holy water olive oil mixed em' in a pan
set fire to the house like a good christian man
now in the name of real people…
