Lyrics

And I know where I'm going to

Expressing confidence and certainty about the future.


I'm looking in Longevity's eyes

Reflecting on the concept of longevity and time.

I play with Infinity's mind, Forever's my guy

Playing with abstract ideas like infinity, emphasizing a lasting commitment.

My pedigree above your ass, you'll never see I

Asserting superiority and a higher status than others.

I love the past, but see, where I'm goin' I get to fly

Valuing the past but excited about future opportunities and growth.

Never sold a record for the beat, it's my verses they purchase

Emphasizing the value of his lyrics over the music beat.

Without production, I'm worthless

Highlighting the importance of production but asserting his lyrical worth.

But I'm more than the surface

Asserting depth beyond superficial appearances.

Want me to sound like every song on the Top 40

Rejecting conformity to mainstream sound expectations.

I'm not for you, you not for me, you bore me

Expressing disinterest in those who are not intellectually stimulating.

I drop lines prestigious schools read to their students

Boasting about the sophistication of his lyrics.

Look at my album plaques, somebody agrees with the music

Pointing to album plaques as validation of musical quality.

Was lovin' women, you'll never see

Emphasizing privacy regarding personal relationships.

All you knows my kids' mothers, some celebrities

Highlighting the public's limited knowledge of his personal life.

Damn, look at the jealousy!

Observing and acknowledging jealousy from others.

Lucky me, I meet some beauties

Expressing gratitude for meeting beautiful people despite jealousy.

Make you wanna shoot me

Creating envy through personal achievements.

Hate to brag, my worst batch kills off your best cutie

Boasting about the quality of his relationships compared to others.

Facts is deep, we break up, they hook up with athletes

Highlighting the deep impact of facts in relationships.

Get married 'cause we wasn't that match, my G

Addressing failed relationships leading to marriages with others.

Don't attach me to the games, I'm lucky, I'm blessed

Rejecting association with games and expressing gratitude for blessings.

One of my exes could be your next, dog trust me, don't test

Warning against testing or doubting his fortunate circumstances.


It's the simple things in life, simple things in life

Expressing contentment in simple things, such as family and humility.

Simple things in life, simple things in life

-

It's the simple things in life, simple things in life

-

Simple things in life, simple things in life

-

Rollin' dice, throw no aces

-

With my gangsters, we discussin' buyin' acres

-

Other safe bets, nothin' regular or basic

-

Ridin' back to back, me and Jungle in some spaceships

-

Where the squad at?

-

You can see us on the ave, chop it up as always

-

Stand up, Queensbridge, now the world know us

-

Everybody sayin' my humility's infectious

-

I just want my kids to have the same peace I'm blessed with
