Lyrics
[Chorus]
Life is crazy ain't it? (Ain't it)
You ain't Van Gogh until that picture painted (Painted)
Pick your goals, then you picture frame it (Frame it)
Grab the globe with your fist and claim it (But you gotta)
Manifest your destiny and make it real
Overcome your obstacles and face your fears
Step into the belly of the beast, ****
Welcome to the belly of the beast, **** (What)
[Verse 1]
It's about to get real give me some space, **** (Ha)
I'm game giving, get laced, ****, don't be the one to sleep
My job is to boss up ****, not make **** beef
And buff don't make you tough bro don't get put to sleep
Compton, Westside politics
No beefin' over pussy, that done fucked up a lot of shit
Wronging all our rights, so we can restore this dominance (Yeah)
GNX's and six foes, hopping through opulence (What)
Better living, this is bigger than analytics (Yeah)
Can't pussy up, strap up your boots and handle business
Boop-bop-bop 'till we winning every race
Ain't gotta ask where they from, it's tatted on they face
Ain't no speeding up our program, we moving out on pace, champ
Life's still a bitch and everything that bitch say cap
We hear a lot of subbing, coming from my own way, champ
Even a few that wouldn't be here without that Dre stamp
Woah, woah, don't say that, Alvin, I'm tripping
What we smokin' on?
WS, RNS, that's all I'm focused on
Who wanna run? Bro, we welcome that with open arms
And fuck you, ****, nobody calm
Pause that, I meant it in all caps
Fuck money, fuck fame
This bigger than all that
Get to bombing at your building and banging that ball cap
Yeah, this the type of feeling Xzibit done brought back, **** (Pfft, ha-ha)
This ain't no laughing matter
This a movie, the last scene at the tabernacle
The ratchet ****, the pin gamer, a battle rapper
The scene clearer, the yellow taper, the ambulancer
Goofy, salute to Aftermath
On my mama, bro, this shit ain't done
We got ninety-nine problems, but never let a bitch be one
If you ain't shooting for the stars, then give me back that gun, ****
[Chorus]
Yeah, life is crazy ain't it? (Ain't it?)
You ain't Picasso 'til that picture painted (Painted)
Pick your goals, then you picture frame it (Frame it)
Grab the globe with your fist and claim it (Yeah, but you gotta)
Manifest your destiny and make it real
**** better have the stomach, appetite to kill (Boom)
Step into the belly of the beast, **** (Yeah)
Welcome to the belly of the beast, ****
[Verse 2]
Speak now or be forever picking up the pieces (Ah)
Your ego is not your amigo, that's my **** thesis (Woo)
Welcome to the jungle, murder without a motive
Spinning my axle, time to give me my guns and roses
Had to launch these rockets before the window closes
Get out my seat, motherfucker, here's your eviction notice
My arrival is like the POTUS, all these bitches know us
Gotta see the shit that they throw us, them intentions decoded
I heard a million no's before I got a yes
We only here to land on perfection, settle for nothing less (Yeah)
You see, there's royalty and loyalty
And my aggression addresses motherfuckers accordingly
But now this is a different time, it's a different rhyme
You crossed this boss, it's off, ****, so pick a side and stay there
Generational wealth in the room 'cause Dre there
Racing Europeans, bobbing and weaving like fake hair
You got here, that's cool, the hard part is to stay here
My clips make movies, watch this baby like daycare
Knuckle up, bare knuckle boxing, ready to fuck 'em up
Buckle up, ain't no side stepping or tucking nuts
Fuck is up? They have my back to the ropes
I started double dutching and pushing something classic with hundred spokes
You can do what I do, but I get different results
Let's make a toast, who showed you **** how to run the coast? (Bang)
Question, what is your definition of a GOAT?
By the time you have your answer, we'll be on the boat
They gave me fifteen thousand dollars in an envelope
Should've made me priority, could've turned louder than Interscope (Ooh)
I see **** out here losing at the game of life
Wanna join the winner's circle? Here's some great advice
If you decide to take that gamble, you can't blame the dice
What are you willing to sacrifice for these type of heights? (Huh?)
[Chorus]
Life is crazy ain't it? (Ain't it)
You ain't Van Gogh until that picture painted (Painted)
Pick your goals, then you picture frame it (Frame it)
Grab the globe with your fist and claim it (But you gotta)
Manifest your destiny and make it real
Overcome your obstacles and face your fears
Step into the belly of the beast, ****
Welcome to the belly of the beast, ****
