[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]

[Verse 1]
E ho iniziato dal basso
Come un pupazzo di neve, a terra
Come un mandrino tondo, e comunque ti metto le mani addosso
Rimanere ferito è come passo il tempo
Sucker gratis, alto di fiducia
Una tale brezza quando scrivo rima
Ho appena avuto l'aria su di me come campanelli eolici (sì)
Un altro giorno nella vita (uh)
Abituato a dover rasentare per cavarsela (sì)
Ora la mia comunità è controllata e io
Fatto e i miei vicini dicono ciao
Gli sto dando dei chili, sono di lusso ora
Indovino significa che sono in mezzo al cielo
Ma ricordo ancora i giorni di
Salario minimo per lavoro generale
Destinatario del benessere da minorenne
Guarda come ti ha fatto l'assistenza del governo!
Avversità, se all'inizio non ci riesci
Metti la calma per più uso
Perche 'bein' è una scusa povera
Questo dovrebbe solo darti più carburante
Mostragli perché sei tu
Così vicino, Dio, è come se ce l'avessi quasi
Ma vicino conta solo in bombe a orologeria e ferri di cavallo
Quindi I Unabomb shit-tick, tick, tick-no rimorso, pew!
Fanculo, sono illuminato e quell'atteggiamento mi è saltato in aria
Ecco perché mi chiamano petardo
Sono cresciuto su stoppino, stoppino, stoppino, con una miccia corta
Ho delle notizie importanti da segnalare
Qualcuno che pensava che avessi finito: nah cagna, non proprio
Spotlight è tornato, ho la mia fede, dov'è la tua?
[Coro]
Credi ancora in me?
Non ho dato tutto ciò che dovevo darti per farti vedere?
Non dimenticherò mai se mi giri le spalle ora
Ed esci, non ti lascerò mai vivere
(Non smetterò mai) Credi ancora in me?
[Verse 2]
Amico, lo so a volte
Questi pensieri possono essere aspri e freddi come il ghiaccio
Per me sono solo macchie d'inchiostro
Li lancio semplicemente come fionde e così preciso
Quindi potresti volerlo pensare due volte
Quando ritardi puoi tirare i dadi
Ma il manzo ti costerà almeno la tua carriera
Perche 'anche i miei scatti economici sono troppo cari
Ma questo dito medio è libero come un uccello
Nuke nuke testata, la fronte più grande sulla Terra
Troppo corto per il verso, studiato la sua formula, imparato
Come incorporare una maledizione
Indicalo verso l'America corporativa
Attaccare una forchetta e girare
Perché le parole di quattro lettere sono ascoltate meglio
Il mondo mi ha alimentato con la forza una stronzata, tu stai diventando tuo
Ma a volte esagero, ma mi ci metto tanto
Ero lì a consolinarti quando nessuno lo sapeva
Quando la tua situazione non ha mostrato miglioramenti
Ero quella porta, ti sei avvicinato
Sono la luce alla fine del tunnel
Quindi le persone mi guardano sempre mentre lo attraversano
Quando quella visione a tunnel non è chiara
La merda diventa troppo da sopportare
Dal momento che "Cleanin 'Out My Closet"
Quando avevo dei problemi con la trappola
Sono quella risposta irrealistica che ha risposto
E ti faccio incastrare come se stessi cercando di sistemare un appartamento, uh
Quando lotti con la disperazione
Le nocche nudi a pugno doppio accoppiate a questa coppia
Di noci io sto cuppin ', io sono il tuo interruttore cazzo, niente può confrontare
[Coro]
Credi ancora in me?
Non ho dato tutto ciò che dovevo darti per farti vedere?
Non dimenticherò mai se mi giri le spalle ora
Ed esci, non ti lascerò mai vivere
(Non smetterò mai) Credi ancora in me?
[Verse 3]
Iniziato dal basso come un pupazzo di neve
Oh amico, metti quello nella tua pipa di pannocchia e fumalo
Ma la mia batteria è bassa, ho bisogno di una spinta al mio zaino
E so che ho sempre avuto la prova alle mie spalle
Ti ho chiamato "Proof" perché sapevo per certo
Il mio asso nella manica, homie, ti sto chiamando
Perché penso che sto lentamente iniziando a perdere fiducia in esso, quindi
Dammi quel grembiule e mo
-attivazione per andare, Hussein con il flusso
I fan falsi ti hanno lasciato bifronte allo spettacolo
Lascia che il battito del cuore giri, produca odio nella mia anima
Layin 'vocals due giorni di fila
Vera affermazione, odio percorrere questa strada
Ma c'è solo una strada per attraversare questo ponte
Così cammino in questa puttana con grandi cambiamenti
Perché tutti i miei debiti sono stati pagati, ma questo stand ha preso il suo pedaggio
Ma non è mai troppo tardi per iniziare un nuovo inizio
Questo vale anche per te, quindi che cazzo fai?
Usa gli strumenti che ti sono stati dati!
O stai usando le carte che ti vengono distribuite
Come scusa per non farti cagare?
Ero solito interpretare il perdente / vittima
'Fino a quando ho visto il modo in cui Proof è stato guidato
Ho trovato il mio veicolo e non ho ancora finito il gas
E quando impilano i mazzi, trasforma gli handicap in beni
Marsupi, clessidre
Se il tempo fosse dalla mia parte, non avrei ancora nessuno da sprecare
Uomo, nei miei giorni più giovani
Quel sogno è stato così divertente da inseguire
È come se fossi sul posto
Mentre questa merda penzolava davanti alla mia faccia
Ma come fai a tenere il passo
E i dolori della fame una volta che hai vinto la gara?
Quando lo scarico del carburante si raffredda
Perché non hai ancora niente da dimostrare
Perché hai già fatto colpo con il coup de grâce
Senti ancora il bisogno di andare in tilt
Quel Bruce Willis, quella Blue Steel, quella vera abilità
Quando quella ruota è libera, non perderò la volontà
Credi ancora?
