Hell For It

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Holy spirit When I look, I cannot see reflection in the mirror I broke bread with the Judas and I think I see it clearer These niggas want what's mine, but I'll be damned if I'ma give up Stuck up in the hood, praying rap would get me out Mama 'bout to lose her house, gotta figure this shit out Used to catch the bus to 12th just to hustle for some Prada In the kitchen with my uncle, beat the pot like a piñata Baraka with the product, used to hide it in my closet Type of shit that have a fiend crawling on his carpet Walking over carcasses of artists in my garden Nice with the bars, even the beat begs my pardon Got me mistaken, Muslim salami bacon Always on the defense, so it's no offense taken I'm smokin' on them raisins from the bay, they taste amazing Cajun, kicking flavor all the time, not on occasion Would be amazed, all the time, I heard I wouldn't make it I was writing shit that was so damn amazing When half these little niggas was still watching That's So Raven I was out there hustling, scrapin' up and saving Just to catch a twelve hour bus to NY Sleepin' on the floor in studios, asking God, "Why?" But never got deterred from the voice I heard inside Tell myself every day the greatest that's alive [Chorus] And I'ma give 'em hell for it Until it's heaven on earth, my nigga, I'ma give 'em hell for it For whatever it's worth, my nigga, I'ma give 'em hell for it Unless death come first, my nigga, I'ma give 'em hell for it For whatever it's worth, my nigga, I'ma give 'em hell [Verse 2] 'Cause we living in that Actavis double cups, was addicted to that Had them demons on my back, was escaping through that Blamed everybody but myself, apologies for that So they hold a nigga back for the way that I act People scared of doing business, thinkin' I smoke crack I react immature to anyone talkin' smack 'Cause where I'm from, respect the only thing that you have Grew up virtually poor, realities unmasked So my task is inspire your future with my past I lived through that shit, so you don't have to go through it Stepping stones in my life, hot coals, walk with me Listen when I speak, every time, talk with me Couple screws loose, you don't wanna start with me Got it from Motown, feel David Ruffin pain Wanna cry right now, so I'm wishing that it rain 'Cause I'm knowing I'm the best, they compare skills to sales Tell myself everyday, know this shit ain't real Radio don't make you ill, get a hit, they feel they self Respect for lyricism in this game, ain't none left Have a bitch like Iggy think she sicker than me And that's so fucked up, that's just how this shit be I just wanna make music, fuck bein' a celebrity 'Cause these songs that I write leave behind my legacy [Chorus] And I'ma give 'em hell for it Until it's heaven on earth, my nigga, I'ma give 'em hell for it For whatever it's worth, my nigga, I'ma give 'em hell for it Unless death come first, my nigga, I'ma give 'em hell for it For whatever it's worth, my nigga, I'ma give 'em hell [Outro] I'ma give 'em hell
