Pharrell Williams

I & Me

Royce is goin' to fuckin' kill you

Huh, true motherfuckers know
This be the realest shit I ever wrote
Yeah, up in the studio, gettin' blowed
Truest shit I ever spoke

How can I go from rockin' wit Dre to fallin' out
Wit Shady to popin' my glock on the block to droppin' on Koch
Mistakes that I've made, I've learned to regret
Impatiently we blazin' 'em AK's to earn a respect

I don' been in the trenches for years in this rap shit
Where my name is mention is fear compared to that shit
I don' paid my dues, I don' learned more from my mistakes
And I don' learn it in any grade in my school

I could have made you today, I could raise ya brow
On a label that's foul or made you on radio play
I can guide myself through the game myself
Give you the chills, kill hip hop and save myself

I learned to behave myself
People choose sides when they figure you die
I learn it, they take away my wealth
All these niggaz that used to page me, everyday that I dealt
But they all gone, y'all wrong, I page myself, because

I do this music for me, I take time and put pride in it
This music is me, it's no ruinin' me, I'm the truest MC
As hot as you need me to be, as cool as can be
If you was true as me, then this for you, but I do it for

I do this music for me, I take time and put pride in it
This music is me, it's no ruinin' me, I'm the truest MC
As hot as you need me to be, as cool as can be
If you was true as me, then this for you, but I do it for me

Every breath I breathe, every second I have to be in a lab
Wit young man, makin' a track at least
In the basement, rappin' in peace
Patiently waiting to blow up and grow up
Back and away from this rappin' beef shit

All of that should cease 'cause I feel like quittin'
Back to the factory, rap for me, when I feel like spittin'
Go out and kill a clown a day, don't call me Royce no more
It's Ryan, I just threw Detroit's crown away

It's only so many times I couldn't let my temper get tested
I can't handle this, I'll eventually get arrested
I'm on the verge of doin' some things, that won't help, shit
Take myself away from my family, is so selfish

I can't help shit, lately I been ignorin' rules
You takin' care of too many people to go and lose
I do my music and speak truly without the influence of movies
Or these fools in the street that wanna do me, nigga

I do this music for me, I take time and put pride in it
This music is me, it's no ruinin' me, I'm the truest MC
As hot as you need me to be, as cool as can be
If you was true as me, then this for you, but I do it for

I do this music for me, I take time and put pride in it
This music is me, it's no ruinin' me, I'm the truest MC
As hot as you need me to be, as cool as can be
If you was true as me, then this for you, but I do it for me

True motherfuckers know
This be the realest shit I ever wrote
Yeah, up in the studio, gettin' blowed
Truest shit I ever spoke

Yeah, hopin' you true motherfuckers know
This be the realest shit I ever wrote
Yeah, up in the studio, gettin' blowed
The truest shit I ever spoke
