[Verse 1]
And I started from the bottom
Like a snowman, ground-up
Like round chuck, and still put hands on you
Stayin' wound up is how I spend time
Sucker free, confidence high
Such a breeze when I pen rhymes
I just got the air about me like wind chimes (yeah)
Another day in the life (uh)
Used to have to scrape to get by (yeah)
Now my community's gated and I
Made it and my neighbors say hi
I'm givin' 'em pounds, I'm upscale now
Guess it means I'm way in the sky
But I still remember the days of
Minimum wage for general labor
Welfare recipient since a minor
Look how government assistance has made ya!
Adversity, if at first you don't succeed
Put your temper to more use
'Cause bein' broke's a poor excuse
That should only give you more fuel
Show 'em why you're you
So close, God, it's like I almost got it
But close only counts in time bombs and horseshoes
So I Unabomb shit—tick, tick, tick—no remorse, pew!
Screw it, I'm lit, and that attitude I blew up on quick
That's why they call me firecracker
I grew up on wick—wick, wick, wick—with a short fuse
I got some important news to report to
Anyone who thought I was done: nah bitch, not quite
Spotlight's back on, got my faith, where's yours?
[Chorus]
Do you still believe in me?
Didn't I give everything I had to give you to make you see?
I'll never forget if you turn your back on me now
And walk out, I will never let you live it down
(I'll never quit) Do you still believe in me?
[Verse 2]
Man, I know sometimes
These thoughts can be harsh and cold as ice
To me they're just ink blots
I just fling 'em like slingshots, and so precise
So you might want to think it over twice
When you retards can roll the dice
But beef will at least cost you your career
'Cause even my cheap shots are overpriced
But this middle finger's free as a bird
Nuke warhead-ed birth, hugest forehead on Earth
Too short for the verse, studied his formula, learned
How to incorporate a curse
Point it towards corporate America
Stick a fork in and turn
'Cause four-letter words are more better heard
The world force-fed a turd to me, you're gettin' yours
But sometimes I overdo it, but I just get so into it
I was there consolin' you when no one knew it
When your situation showed no improvement
I was that door, you walked over to it
I'm the light at the end of tunnel
So people are always lookin' at me as they're goin' through it
When that tunnel vision is unclear
Shit becomes too much to bear
Since "Cleanin' Out My Closet"
When I was havin' trouble with the snare
I'm that unrealistic prayer answered
And I'ma get you jacked up like you're tryin' to fix a flat, uh
When you struggle with despair
That double-fisted, bare-knuckles coupled with this pair
Of nuts I'm cuppin', I am your fuckin' switch, nothin' can compare
[Chorus]
Do you still believe in me?
Didn't I give everything I had to give you to make you see?
I'll never forget if you turn your back on me now
And walk out, I will never let you live it down
(I'll never quit) Do you still believe in me?
[Verse 3]
Started from the bottom like a snowman
Oh man, put that in your corncob pipe and smoke that
But my battery's low, I'ma need a boost to my pack
And I know that I always got Proof at my back
I called you "Proof" because I knew for a fact
My ace in the hole, homie, I'm callin' on you
'Cause I think I'm slowly startin' to lose faith in it, so
Give me that apron and mo–
–tivation to go, Hussein with the flow
Fake fans left you two-faced at the show
Let heartbeats loop, produce hate in my soul
Layin' vocals two days in a row
True statement, hate to go down this road
But there's only one route to cross this bridge
So I walk in this bitch with loose change
'Cause all my dues paid, but this booth's takin' its toll
But it's never too late to start a new beginnin'
That goes for you too, so what the fuck you gon' do?
Use the tools you're given!
Or you're gon' use the cards you're dealt
As an excuse for you to not do shit with 'em?
I used to play the loser/victim
'Til I saw the way Proof was driven
I found my vehicle and I haven't ran out of gas yet
And when they stacked decks, turn handicaps into assets
Fanny packs, hourglasses
If time was on my side, I'd still have none to waste
Man, in my younger days
That dream was so much fun to chase
It's like I run in place
While this shit dangled in front of my face
But how do you keep up the pace
And the hunger pains once you've won the race?
When that fuel exhaust is coolin' off
'Cause you don't got nothin' left to prove at all
'Cause you done already hit 'em with the coup de grâce
Still you feel the need to go full tilt
That Bruce Willis, that Blue Steel, that true skill
When that wheel's loose, I won't lose will
Do you still believe?
[Verse 1]

[Bersikulo 1]
Ug nagsugod ako gikan sa ubos
Sama sa usa ka niyebe, nagbarug
Sama sa round chuck, ug gihapon ibutang ang mga kamot kanimo
Ang stayin 'mao ang akong paggahin og panahon
Sucker free, confidence high
Ang ingon nga usa ka hangin sa diha nga ako nga pen rhymes
Gipangita nako ang hangin sama sa hangin nga chimes (oo)
Ang laing adlaw sa kinabuhi (uh)
Gigamit sa pag-scrape aron makuha pinaagi sa (oo)
Karon ang gobyerno sa akong katilingban ug ako
Gihimo kini ug ang akong mga silingan nag-ingon hi
Gipasalig ko nga ako ang labing taas karon
Nagtuo nga kini nagpasabot nga ako ang dalan sa langit
Apan nahinumduman pa nako ang mga adlaw sa
Minimum nga sweldo alang sa kinatibuk-ang pangtrabaho
Pagdawat sa Welfare sukad sa usa ka menor de edad
Tan-awa kung giunsa paghimo sa tabang sa gobyerno ya!
Kalisdanan, kung sa una dili ka magmalampuson
Ibutang ang imong kasuko sa dugang nga paggamit
Ang hinungdan nga nabali ang usa ka dili maayo nga rason
Kana makahatag lamang kanimo og dugang nga sugnod
Ipakita kung nganong ikaw ikaw
Duol kaayo, Dios, kini sama sa hapit na nako kini
Apan ang suod nga mga pag-ihap sa mga bomba ug mga horseshoes sa panahon
Busa akong gibalibaran ang shit-tick, tick, tick-walay pagbasol, pew!
Gituhak kini, ako gidagkutan, ug kana nga kinaiya nahulog ako sa madali
Mao nga gitawag nila ako nga firecracker
Nagtubo ako sa siko, siko, sungo-nga may usa ka mubo nga panaksan
Nakakuha ako og pipila ka importante nga balita nga isulti
Bisan kinsa nga naghunahuna nga nahuman na ako: nah bitch, dili na
Sa likod sa Spotlight, nakuha ang akong pagtoo, asa ang imo?
[Chorus]
Nagtuo pa ba ikaw kanako?
Indi bala nga ginhatag ko sa imo ang tanan nga butang nga akon ginhatag sa imo agod makita namon ini?
Dili gyud ko makalimtan kon imo kong balikon karon
Ug maglakaw ka, dili ko gayud tugotan ikaw nga mabuhi niini
(Dili gyud ko moundang) Nagtuo ka pa ba nako?
[Bersikulo 2]
Tawo, nahibal-an ko usahay
Kini nga mga hunahuna mahimong mapintas ug bugnaw sama sa yelo
Para nako ang mga tinta lang sa ila
Gipaputol na lang nako ang mga slingshots, ug eksakto kaayo
Busa tingali gusto nimong hunahunaon kini sa makaduha
Sa diha nga ikaw retards mahimong roll sa dice
Apan ang karne mahimong labing menos sa imong karera
Tungod kay bisan ang akong barato nga mga shots sobra ra kaayo
Apan kini nga tunga nga tudlo libre sama sa usa ka langgam
Nuke warhead-ed pagkatawo, hugest sa agtang sa Yuta
Hilabihan ka mubo alang sa bersikulo, gitun-an ang iyang pormula, nakakat-on
Unsaon nga ilakip ang usa ka tunglo
Itudlo kini ngadto sa corporate America
Magtapok sa usa ka fork sa ug mobalik
'Tungod kay upat ka letra nga mga pulong mas maayo nga madungog
Ang puwersa sa kalibutan-gipakaon ang usa ka turd sa ako, ikaw ang makakuha kanimo
Apan usahay gibug-atan ko kini, apan gipangita ko kini
Anaa ko didto nga consolin 'kanimo kung wala'y nakaila niini
Sa diha nga ang imong sitwasyon wala'y kalamboan
Ako kadto nga pultahan, naglakaw ka niini
Ako ang kahayag sa katapusan sa tunel
Mao nga ang mga tawo kanunay'ng nagtan-aw 'kanako ingon nga sila maglakaw' niini
Sa diha nga kana nga tunnel nga panan-awon dili klaro
Ang paghimo sa sobra nga pagdala
Sukad nga "Limpyohan 'sa Out My Closet"
Sa diha nga ako havin 'problema sa mga lit-ag
Ako kining dili makatoo nga pag-ampo mitubag
Ug gihatagan ka nako og jacked sama sa imong gisulayan 'aron ayuhon ang usa ka patag, uh
Kon ikaw nakigbisog sa pagkawalay paglaum
Nga dobleng kuptanan, bukog nga mga buko nga inubanan niini nga parisan
Sa mga nuts Ako ang cuppin ', Ako ang imong switch nga' switch, nothin 'mahimo itandi
[Chorus]
Nagtuo pa ba ikaw kanako?
Indi bala nga ginhatag ko sa imo ang tanan nga butang nga akon ginhatag sa imo agod makita namon ini?
Dili gyud ko makalimtan kon imo kong balikon karon
Ug maglakaw ka, dili ko gayud tugotan ikaw nga mabuhi niini
(Dili gyud ko moundang) Nagtuo ka pa ba nako?
[Bersikulo 3]
Nagsugod gikan sa ubos sama sa usa ka snowman
O tawo, ibutang kana sa imong corncob pipe ug aso nga
Apan ang ubos sa akong baterya, gikinahanglan nako ang dugang sa akong pakete
Ug nahibal-an ko nga kanunay nakong nakuha ang Proof sa akong likod
Gitawag ko ikaw nga "Proof" tungod kay nahibal-an ko ang usa ka kamatuoran
Ang akong katungdanan sa lungag, homie, ako usa ka callin 'kanimo
Tungod kay sa akong hunahuna hinayhinay akong gisugdan 'nga mawad-an sa pagtoo diha niini, busa
Hatagi ako niana nga apron ug mo-
-mag-uyon sa pag-adto, Hussein sa agos
Gibiyaan ka sa mga piskal nga tag-duha sa nahimutangan
Himoa nga ang mga dughan sa dughan magpahinabog kasilag sa akong kalag
Si Layin 'vocals duha ka adlaw nga sunodsunod
Tinuod nga pahayag, pagdumot sa paglugsong niining dalan
Apan adunay usa lamang ka agianan nga makatabok niining tulay
Busa naglakaw ako niining bitch nga wala'y kausaban
'Tungod kay gibayran ang tanan nakong mga bayranan, apan kini nga booth nakuha' sa bayranan niini
Apan dili pa ulahi ang pagsugod sa usa ka bag-o nga sinugdanan '
Kana mao usab alang kanimo, busa unsa man ang imong gibati?
Gamita ang mga gamit nga gihatag kanimo!
O ikaw gon 'gigamit ang mga kard nga imong gihimo
Ingon nga usa ka pasumangil alang kanimo nga dili makahimo og shit uban sa 'em?
Kanunay kong nakadula sa nabiktima / biktima
'Til akong nakita ang paagi nga gipadagan ang Proof
Nakaplagan nako ang akong sakyanan ug wala na ko mahurot sa gas
Ug kon sila mag-stack sa mga deck, itugyan ang mga kakulangan ngadto sa mga kabtangan
Mga pakete ni Fanny, mga oras nga takna sa oras
Kon ang panahon naa sa akong kiliran, wala pa koy mahimo nga basura
Tawo, sa akong kabatan-on nga mga adlaw
Ang maong damgo malipayon kaayo nga gipangita
Kini sama sa akong pagdagan
Samtang kini nga shit nag-atubang sa atubangan sa akong nawong
Apan unsaon nimo pagpadayon ang dagan
Ug ang kasakit sa kagutom sa dihang nakadaog ka sa lumba?
Sa diha nga kanang us aka gasolina mao ang coolin '
'Tungod kay wala ka'y wala' nga nahibilin aron sa pagpamatuod sa tanan
'Tungod kay nahimo ka na nga naigo sa em uban sa coup de grâce
Sa gihapon imong gibati ang panginahanglan sa hingpit nga pagkiling
Nga Bruce Willis, nga Blue Steel, nga tinuod nga kahanas
Sa diha nga kana nga ligid nawala, dili ako mawad-an sa kabubut-on
Nagatuo ka gihapon?
