Not safe for work...unless you do what you want because you're awesome that way.
lyrics
I tried as hard as I could
To just be good
But would you let me?
No, you wouldn't
You believe you're misunderstood
But you had your say and you walked away
You wanted to forget me
But you couldn't
Is it really impossible
That you are the one who's responsible?
But I ain't mad, because I'm out here getting mine
I just needed to remind myself not to waste my time again because...
Motherfuckers wanna step to this
But motherfuckers can't step to this
(Get on my level)
Motherfuckers wanna step to this
But motherfuckers can't step to this
(Get on my level)
Petty people can't handle this
But party people gonna dance to this
(Get on my level)
Do you really wanna step to this?
'Cause I can tell you whose ass to kiss
I'm workin' hard at my job
But you still rob me of my precious time and money
I believe you must be confused
'Cause you talk the talk but can't walk the walk
And you don't really know me
Do you, buddy?
You would see that you're comical
If you weren't busy keeping your pockets full
But I ain't mad, because I'm out here getting mine
I just needed to remind myself not to waste my time again because...
Motherfuckers wanna step to this
But motherfuckers can't step to this
(Get on my level)
Motherfuckers wanna step to this
But motherfuckers can't step to this
(Get on my level)
Petty people can't handle this
But party people gonna dance to this
(Get on my level)
Do you really wanna step to this?
'Cause I can tell you whose ass to kiss
/kissing noise
So many chips on my shoulders
People call me Ruffles
Guess what?
As you get older life just hands you troubles
But these troubles are always gonna come
Gotta work
Gotta hustle
Gotta make a run
But I've been running so long that I feel like I'll be running 'til my days are done
So so so...
So let me catch my breath for a second
Every word, I meant it
Can you dig it?
Do you get me?
No, you couldn't
I'll show you anything's possible
'Cause I'll rise and grind while you fall behind
A prisoner of your mind because...
Motherfuckers wanna step to this
But motherfuckers can't step to this
(Get on my level)
Motherfuckers wanna step to this
But motherfuckers can't step to this
(Get on my level)
Petty people can't handle this
But party people gonna dance to this
(Get on my level)
Do you really wanna step to this?
'Cause I can tell you whose ass to kiss
I'm gonna put you and your crew on blast
And every one of you can kiss my ass
I'm in the studio, smokin' grass
And inspiration's comin' fast
If the suspense is killin' you, baby
Well, I hope it lasts
But I think it's thrillin' you maybe
So let me step on the gas
'Cause I'm a human being, baby
You can't stop me
I can break it down for you
Go 'head, watch me
I'm a human being, baby
You can't stop me
Not me, 'cause I'm livin' the dream
I'm a human being, baby
You can't stop me
I can break it down for you
Go 'head, watch me
I'm a human being, baby
You can't stop me
Don't need permission from Gloria E.
I'm a human being, baby
You can't stop me
I can break it down for you
Go 'head, watch me
I'm a human being, baby
You can't stop me
Not me, 'cause I'm livin' the dream
Motherfuckers wanna step to this
But motherfuckers can't step to this
(Get on my level)
Motherfuckers wanna step to this
But motherfuckers can't step to this
(Get on my level)
Petty people can't handle this
But party people gonna dance to this
(Get on my level)
Do you really wanna step to this?
'Cause I can tell you whose ass to kiss
(Get on my level)
Motherfuckers wanna step to this
But motherfuckers can't step to this
(Get on my level)
Motherfuckers wanna step to this
But motherfuckers can't step to this
(Get on my level)
Petty people can't handle this
But party people gonna dance to this
(Get on my level)
Do you really wanna step to this?
'Cause I can tell you whose ass to kiss
