To Thine Own Self Be True

It's been a long time
Long enough to come back from the dead

To thine own self be true is the credo
I’ve been saying who I am on the 8-0
Eight in the snare, since my fate was fatal
It appeared that I moved like a great tornado
With my temper getting hotter
Than a baked potato
Or the temp up in the ride
With these plates of yayo
I was meant to hit the bottom and escape
Real superhero, no mask, no cape
Back to the basics, flicked off the roaches
Locusts back from the dead like hocus pocus
Maybe that can go and give
Hope to the hopeless
Still spitting certified dope from the pulpit
So if I can testify with a wise sermon
And paint a picture of a
Soul as it dies yearning
To cheat death with the fire
In his eyes burning
You hang around long enough to
See the skies turning
And I can feel this lightning and rain
Whirlwind of chaos pull my life in it's train
My eyeballs stained from the cycle of pain
My brain running back what it’s
Like to be Slaine bullet holes in the souls
Of these hosted foes
Now I walk through these blocks
Like a ghost in robes
It’s like I'm gone from my
Body but I'm still here
And I’ve lost any instinct to feel fear
To thine own self be true, you gotta know
How to find what's close to you
Don't let it go
Be true to yourself and you'll never fall
Be true to yourself and you'll never fall
To thine own self be true
You gotta feel in your gut
Which is your first instinct and that's real
Be true to yourself and you'll never fall
Be true to yourself and you'll never fall
To thine own self be true
To yourself, to yourself
To thine own self be true
To yourself, to yourself

Emerge from the mist, I'm urging the swift
If you can learn quick
I’ll teach you about the birds and the bricks
Where I'm from
The young boys become men at age ten
But most are dumb and either wind up
Dead or in the state pen
Glocks are easy to get
Rocks are easy to flip
Cops are greasy as shit and
Shot as easy as this where I'm from
Dope addicts will blow your Doberman
And dope habit's start up your nose
Then flow through your syringe
Cold wave colossus had surgery to
Smuggle cocaine in his armpit
Alter weight like the arctic
All city like graffiti on the wall gritty
My girl 80 pounds, wet pussy, all titty
Listen, open your ears y'all, focus on it
Count money by the pound
We can fill the whole apartment
Blood ceremonies and ritual knives
And synchronized surprise
State of grace with shooter in the loft
Spray AK's and Uzi's at your squad
High five, catch your guzi at the bar
Drive-by, spray a Uzi at your car
To thine self be true, is this a rock bottle?
Truthfully, I want my cock sucked
By a hot model another blowjob and a pizza
Then jump in the studio
So I can body your feature
To thine own self be true, you gotta know
How to find what's close to you
Don't let it go
Be true to yourself and you'll never fall
Be true to yourself and you'll never fall
To thine own self be true
You gotta feel in your gut
Which is your first instinct and that's real
Be true to yourself and you'll never fall
Be true to yourself and you'll never fall
To thine own self be true
To yourself, to yourself
To thine own self be true
To yourself, to yourself

Be true to yourself and you will never fall
