[Verse 1:]
People try to tell you that they better
But they failures in they own eyes
Don't ever let 'em sell you on those old lies
Those ties need to be severed
You too hip to tie your circle to a square
Be aware
People that you puffin' after change sides
If 'n ever fame dies
Did they ever care?
Room full of people raising glasses in your honor
But not one of them can see you in despair
[Chorus:]
And the vision never been clearer
Picture never been bigger
Circle never been smaller
Still ride-or-die with my haters
Even though we some sinners
Lately though, I been feelin baller
And the vision never been clearer
Picture never been bigger
Circle never been smaller
Still ride-or-die with my haters
Even though we some sinners
Lately though, I been feelin baller
[Verse 2:]
I remember as a young'un havin nothing in the budget
Now I'm buzzin
People they be hatin, they be cussin
Say I'm lame, say I changed
Homie, you can call me anything but strugglin
People like you better when you broke, when you broken, heatin your house up with your oven -
You got nothin they can covet
They be smilin in your faces when they see you in the public -
When you gone, you the topic of discussion
I tell 'em that it's nothin
[Chorus:]
And the vision never been clearer
Picture never been bigger
Circle never been smaller
Still ride-or-die with my haters
Even though we some sinners
Lately though, I been feelin baller.And the vision never been clearer
Picture never been bigger
Circle never been smaller
Still ride-or-die with my haters
Even though we some sinners
Lately though, I been feelin baller
[Verse 2:]
All I wanted was a honorable mention in the Book of Life
Redemption, homie lookin like I'm trippin
It was all good when we was in our hood
Sippin out the bottle, after models
Mics on, lights on, start rippin
Roofs offa the building -
Oh whatta feelin
Something tellin me they're failin me -
Friends turn to enemies
Careful what you celebrate -
People love to see you doin anything but elevate
Mind, body, soul, spirit when you meditate
Love to see you with a fine dime, but you never mind God
Keep you young, rich, and famous so you never find time
For the mystery of everything divine
Now Jesus is mine
[Chorus:]
And the vision never been clearer
Picture never been bigger
Circle never been smaller
Still ride-or-die with my haters
Even though we some sinners
Lately though, I been feelin baller.And the vision never been clearer
Picture never been bigger
Circle never been smaller
Still ride-or-die with my haters
Even though we some sinners
Lately though, I been feelin baller
