[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]

[Verset 1]
Et j'ai commencé par le bas
Comme un bonhomme de neige, au sol
Comme le mandrin rond, et encore mettre les mains sur vous
Stayin 'enroulé est comment je passe du temps
Sucker gratuit, confiance élevée
Une telle brise quand je plume des rimes
J'ai juste l'air autour de moi comme des carillons éoliens (ouais)
Un autre jour dans la vie (euh)
Utilisé pour avoir à gratter pour se débrouiller (ouais)
Maintenant, ma communauté est fermée et je
Fait et mes voisins disent salut
Je leur donne des livres, je suis haut de gamme maintenant
Je suppose que ça signifie que je suis dans le ciel
Mais je me souviens encore des jours de
Salaire minimum pour le travail général
Bénéficiaire du bien-être depuis une mineure
Regardez comment l'aide du gouvernement vous a fait!
Adversité, si au début vous ne réussissez pas
Mettez votre humeur à plus d'utilisation
Parce que bein 'cassé est une mauvaise excuse
Cela devrait seulement vous donner plus de carburant
Montrez-leur pourquoi vous êtes vous
Si proche, mon Dieu, c'est comme si je l'avais presque
Mais proche ne compte que dans les bombes à retardement et les fers à cheval
Alors, je débloque la merde, la tique, la tique, pas de remords, le banc!
Visser, je suis allumé, et cette attitude j'ai explosé rapidement
Voilà pourquoi ils m'appellent pétard
J'ai grandi sur une mèche, une mèche, une mèche avec un court fusible
J'ai eu des nouvelles importantes à signaler à
Quiconque pensait que j'avais fini: nah bitch, pas tout à fait
Spotlight est de retour, a obtenu ma foi, où est le vôtre?
[Refrain]
Crois-tu encore en moi?
N'ai-je pas donné tout ce que j'avais à vous donner pour vous faire voir?
Je n'oublierai jamais si tu me tournes le dos maintenant
Et sortez, je ne vous laisserai jamais le vivre
(Je n'abandonnerai jamais) Crois-tu encore en moi?
[Verset 2]
Homme, je sais parfois
Ces pensées peuvent être dures et froides comme de la glace
Pour moi, ils ne sont que des taches d'encre
Je les lance comme des frondes, et si précis
Donc, vous pourriez vouloir réfléchir deux fois
Quand vous retards peut lancer les dés
Mais le boeuf vous coûtera au moins votre carrière
Parce que même mes photos à bas prix sont trop chères
Mais ce majeur est libre comme un oiseau
La naissance de l'ogive de Nuke, le plus grand front sur Terre
Trop court pour le verset, a étudié sa formule, a appris
Comment incorporer une malédiction
Point vers l'Amérique des entreprises
Collez une fourchette et tournez
Parce que les mots de quatre lettres sont mieux entendus
Le monde m'a gavé une crotte, tu gagnes la tienne
Mais parfois, je exagère, mais je suis tellement impliqué
J'étais là quand tu le savais quand personne ne le savait
Lorsque votre situation n'a montré aucune amélioration
J'étais cette porte, tu t'es approché
Je suis la lumière au bout du tunnel
Alors les gens me regardent toujours comme ils le traversent
Lorsque cette vision tunnel n'est pas claire
La merde devient trop lourde à porter
Depuis 'Cleanin 'Out My Closet'
Quand j'ai eu des problèmes avec la caisse claire
Je suis cette réponse irréaliste répondu
Et je vais te faire lever comme si tu essayais de réparer un appartement, euh
Quand vous luttez avec le désespoir
Que double-poings, knuckles nus couplés avec cette paire
De noix je suis cuppin ', je suis ton putain de switch, rien ne peut comparer
[Refrain]
Crois-tu encore en moi?
N'ai-je pas donné tout ce que j'avais à vous donner pour vous faire voir?
Je n'oublierai jamais si tu me tournes le dos maintenant
Et sortez, je ne vous laisserai jamais le vivre
(Je n'abandonnerai jamais) Crois-tu encore en moi?
[Verset 3]
Commencé par le bas comme un bonhomme de neige
Oh mec, mets ça dans ta pipe de corncob et fume ça
Mais ma batterie est faible, j'ai besoin d'un coup de pouce à mon pack
Et je sais que j'ai toujours eu Proof dans mon dos
Je t'ai appelé 'Preuve' parce que je savais pertinemment
Mon as dans le trou, mon pote, je t'appelle
Parce que je pense que je commence lentement à perdre la foi, alors
Donne-moi ce tablier et ce
-activation pour aller, Hussein avec le courant
Les faux fans vous ont laissé deux faces au spectacle
Laisser les battements de coeur, produire de la haine dans mon âme
Layin 'chants deux jours d'affilée
Vraie déclaration, je déteste aller dans cette voie
Mais il n'y a qu'une seule route pour traverser ce pont
Alors je marche dans cette chienne avec un changement lâche
Parce que toutes mes cotisations ont été payées, mais ce kiosque
Mais il n'est jamais trop tard pour commencer un nouveau début
Ca va pour toi aussi, alors qu'est-ce que tu vas faire?
Utilisez les outils que vous avez reçus!
Ou vous utilisez les cartes que vous avez distribuées
Comme une excuse pour que tu ne fasses pas de merde avec eux?
Je jouais au perdant / victime
'J'ai vu la façon dont Proof était conduite
J'ai trouvé mon véhicule et je n'ai pas encore manqué de gaz
Et quand ils ont empilé des decks, transformez les handicaps en atouts
Fanny packs, sabliers
Si le temps était de mon côté, je n'aurais toujours rien à gaspiller
L'homme, dans ma jeunesse
Ce rêve était tellement amusant à chasser
C'est comme si je cours en place
Alors que cette merde pendait devant mon visage
Mais comment gardez-vous le rythme
Et les douleurs de la faim une fois que vous avez gagné la course?
Lorsque l'échappement du carburant se refroidit
Parce que vous n'avez rien à gauche pour prouver du tout
Parce que tu l'as déjà fait avec le coup de grâce
Vous ressentez toujours le besoin d'aller à fond
Que Bruce Willis, ce Blue Steel, cette vraie compétence
Quand cette roue est lâche, je ne perdrai pas de volonté
Crois-tu encore?
