Shh, shh, quiet
Hurry up and get in the closet
Hip Hop Soul Magazine said, "The things that have been written about you would make lesser men wither or simply want to give up."
I said, "So I have to walk with a certain humility. I have to walk with love in my heart for those that hate me. I have to. I have to get out and touch people in order for me to continue to feel the pulse of the world."
Shit think, shit think, shit quick, put me in the closet
They gonna make jokes about how I like to bang little girls
Just how I'm gonna get my crazy ass up out this mess?
"I'm the Ali of today. I'm the Marvin Gaye of today. I'm the Bob Marley of today. I'm the Martin Luther King, or all the other greats that have come before us. And a lot of people are starting to realize that now."
Shit, when people gonna realize what I sang was true?
I'm the world's greatest; don't need no apologies from this thug
“My greatest competition is, well, me.”
The New York Post says I have a swollen head
They ain’t listening to what I said
New album dropping on May 29
But the court’s callin’ me in on Friday for the sex tape I made
This closet’s the only place I feel safe
Right now, I'm sweating like hell
Now they’re walking up to the closet
They’re coming up to the closet
Now they’re at the closet
Now they’re opening the closet ...
