Rainin’ on my parade.
Sun shinin’ but there ain’t enough shade.

Stick to the script like paper clips and coffee stains
Never let a seed of doubt deter you from your lofty aims
The will is much stronger than the flesh
And it only gets stronger when you going through duress
Imagination is the factory that makes legends
Close your eyes and dream B.I.G. like Faith Evans

So of course I’m off the chain as soon as I hit the streets.

Such a no-no, please swallow the .44

We headed to hell for heaven sakes, well Imma levitate…make the devil wait.
