[02:03.80]Siad rap was crap [02:05.17]And wouldn't be around [02:06.17]Any longer than two years [02:08.55]But eight years later [02:10.17]I'm still here [02:11.61]Fully paid [02:12.67]Because the rhymes I made [02:14.18]Made dollars and cents [02:15.81]I wasn't dense [02:16.37]I stayed [02:17.06]Away from drugs [02:18.06]I never touched a pipe [02:19.56]When I wanna get high [02:21.06]I smoke the mic [02:22.43]I never did white lines [02:23.90]I only write lines [02:25.28]And I ain't sniffin' nothing but [02:26.78]The vapors from hype rhymes [02:28.03]As I start to float [02:29.22]On the rhymes I wrote [02:30.66]Ascending to a level with the gods and I tote [02:33.15]Loads and mounds of people [02:34.72]As they reach new heights [02:36.15]A half-a-mile from heaven is the party site [02:38.65]And I'm the attraction [02:40.22]The ods will be packed in [02:41.78]Coming out of their pockets for me to rock it [02:44.22]And acting [02:44.70]Like they've never ever ever been entertained [02:47.01]They try to act godly but they can't maintain [02:49.70]Aphrodite would freak [02:51.01]As her knees get weak [02:52.51]And Venus would peak [02:53.70]Off every word I speak [02:55.26]Zeus would get loose [02:56.51]Fully induced [02:57.76]I'll make Apollo's ryhmes sound like [02:59.64]Mother Goose [03:00.83]By night's end [03:01.95]Mercury is so hyped [03:03.45]He'd spread the word [03:04.64]That there's a god on the mic [03:06.20]Captivating all the other gods [03:07.45]By the masses [03:08.76]Described as a dark-skinned brother in glasses [03:11.70]But unlike
