this borderline of Detroit city limits [03:17.20]It's different it's a certain significance a certificate [03:19.98]Of authenticity you'd never even see [03:22.55]But it's everything to me it's my credibility [03:25.21]You never seen heard smelled or met a real MC [03:28.06]Who's incredible upon the same pedestal as me [03:30.57]But yet I'm still unsigned havin' a rough time [03:33.51]Sit on

[04:18.95]From each one of my limbs by each one of my friends [04:21.86]It's enough to just make me wanna jump out of my skin [04:24.19]Sometimes I feel like a robot sometimes I just know not [04:26.88]What I'm doing I just blow my head is a stove top [04:29.45]I just explode the kettle gets so hot [04:32.27]Sometimes my mouth just overloads the a** that I don't got [04:35.21]But I've learned it's time for me to u turn [04:37.43]Yo it only takes one time for me to get burned [04:39.89]Ain't no falling no next time I meet a new girl [04:42.68]I can no longer play stupid or be

[04:53.52]Suddenly a new burst of energy has occurred [04:55.50] [04:56.19]Time to show these free world leaders the 3 and a third [04:58.79]I am no longer scared now I'm free as a bird [05:01.35]Then I turn and cross over the median curb [05:03.94]Hit the' burbs and all you see is a blur from 8 mile road [05:07.25]I'm a man I'm ma make a new plan [05:09.35]Time for me to just stand up and travel
