Lyrics
(Verse) I been thinking about, if I don’t get them millions// What will I do with all them killings// That I made in the past, I gotta forget that// I’ll keep myself intact, keep my head in rap// I’ve had about as much as I can manage, tryna salvage// Parts of me, not damaged, I’m still savage// Just time to let go, take a new road// I’ve always been on a roll, just time to slow// Maybe screech to a halt, forget my name// Forget I ever came, into this deserted rap game// I was a juvenile once, now I’ma kid again// Dominant mind frame, has me turning insane// This might be the best track, might be the worst// But if you know any thing about me, you understand the thirst// That I always had, always will maintain// Will still be knee deep in BS in this game// (Chorus) (Retirement) If this is my final track// At least I know I’ll be welcomed back, if I decide that// (Retirement) I’d die for this business// God as my witness, I swear I’ma miss this// (Retirement) I’ve had my head in the clouds// Way to long now, time to come down// (Retirement) Its time to go my separate way// I’ll never forget the day, I regret the rap game// (Retirement) (Verse) Good times come and go, through hail and snow// Never expected it’d be time to row, to a brand new zone// Not saying I’ll forget you, just saying that I should// I got a life to live now, I would rap forever if I could// But we all know that in life, you’ve gotta be a man// Gotta provide for a family, please understand// No ifs, no buts, this is my decision// I cut out the middle man, maintain my position// As mainstay in my own life, gotta live it right// Gotta give it all my might, even if I die tonight// Since I made me a victim, like stock market killing// I been witnessing the downfall of this system// We sing, you listen, that’s any musicians ambition// But my eloquent intuition, has got me thinking// I should re-model what I live for, change what I stand by// Because the rap games died, this is my alibi// (Chorus) (Retirement) If this is my final track// At least I know I’ll be welcomed back, if I decide that// (Retirement) I’d die for this business// God as my witness, I swear I’ma miss this// (Retirement) I’ve had my head in the clouds// Way to long now, time to come down// (Retirement) Its time to go my separate way// I’ll never forget the day, I regret the rap game// (Retirement) (Verse) I’ma heart breaker, gotta make it clear// That I was bound to reach this decision, at some point in the year// I’ma sparrow in an eagles world, with my wings clipped// Strange, I’m getting ticked at the rap game kids// But God made me like this, made me wanna sing// Plagued me with ability to reach hearts, when I bring// Real life to the mic, so you feel what I write// Whether you like, what I say, or despise// Each reprise, stare death through these eyes// My demise was reacting with each devised lie// So I cry, when you don’t see it, laugh when you do// Because behind the microphone I feel like you// So the truth of the matter is, I’m feeling hurt// That I gotta leave through words, and destroy this world// Of make believe and fantasy, that has made me who I am// I might retire now, but I’ll be re-born a man// (Chorus) (Retirement) If this is my final track// At least I know I’ll be welcomed back, if I decide that// (Retirement) I’d die for this business// God as my witness, I swear I’ma miss this// (Retirement) I’ve had my head in the clouds// Way to long now, time to come down// (Retirement) Its time to go my separate way// I’ll never forget the day, I regret the rap game// (Retirement)
