This song is based on many true stories.
Anyone who knows the inside stories well enough to tell me who the three men are wins a prize.
Lyrics:
Laid back in the track, I was in my zone
And I had just reached out to touch the microphone
And I had dressed so fresh, style never recesses
Present the best impression, cuz my lyrics addresses
Big concepts and, like, universal truths
I'm a conduit for voices that's trying to break through
But the haters try and stop you from hearing the news
I tell too much truth so that a hater can't stand it
People see the glamour, try to take it and abandon it
But they don't know the meaning, so it all falls flat
Like a facsimile copy of what ain't all that
But to the people living proper, giving props where it's earned
They can see a deeper meaning... Prophecy confirmed!
It's a new era dawning. You wanna be a part of it?
Cuz you ain't seeing nothing trying to make an artist quit
I had haters trying to take me down
Now they don't come around, because my plan's too sound
But sometimes it's the people you call friends who you really gotta watch out
Once upon a time, I was living in the pocket
Feeling like no force on earth that could stop it
People seeing ego cuz I blast my name
But they don't know the game, I don't do it the same
The first man thought that he could do it as well
But when he tried it without me, he fell
The second man tried to cut me out the song
But then the audience dissed him. Didn't take long
The third man was the type to take his time
I thought we were the type of friends that he could have what's mine
We made a lot of money on some big collaborations
Set to make a billion on combined imaginations
But seems that he was biding his time to be right
So he could try to take what I made and stand in the spotlight
He waited for the time when I'm at my low
To try to jock my style and pass it off as his own
But even if he pulled it off, he couldn't repeat it
And now it's these years later and I'm undefeated
And where's this man now? Still dreaming that he'll have his day
And wishing that he did things to Z. Thrillington way
Listen to my story! Heed the meaning
Every day I wake up and I'm still dreaming
So don't make a nightmare for yourself by stepping
Don't bring no second guessing! Faith in the flow is my weapon
