I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch

He said to me, "you must not ask for so much"

And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door

She cried to me, "hey why not ask for more"

How could you falter when you're the rock of Gibraltar?

I had to get off the boat so I could walk on water

This ain't no tall order, this is nothin to me

Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week

I do this in my sleep

I'm not a businessman, I'm a business, man

Let me handle my business, damn

Before anybody wanted K. West beats

Me and my girl split the buffet at KFC

Dog, I was havin nervous breakdowns

Like, 'Man, are these niggas that much better than me?'

Last year shopping my demo I was tryna shine

Every motherfucker told me I couldn't rhyme

Now I could let these dream-killers kill my self-esteem

Or use my arrogance as the steam to power my dreams

I ain't play the hand I was dealt, I changed my cards

I prayed to the skies and I changed my stars

You know there's a time in every man's life where he gotta make a change

Try to move up to the next level
