Cassius Clay

[Avelino:]
Made this happen, I was the cause
Hand me the baton, hand me the torch
Running the game like it's a sport
But all I got in this world is my word and my balls
Yeah
Says Scarface
Yeah
GoodFellas learn the hard way
Never had a godfather or my padres so I went and got some margellas for my margè
Cause it's been graveyard shifts since I put my dad in his grave
Made it out of the maze, I'm in amazement
No haram, I go ham when I pray
Cause there's no real helping hand when handling pain
God made man in his image, I'ma create
I'ma be great, mi casa, su casa, Cassius Clay
Rumble in the jungle, I'm from the land of the brave
Souls in the sea, I rode in the deep, now we're the wave
Yo, Dave man, I still remember conversations
About awards and invalid validations
I got the world in my hands, that's world domination
Man, I'm not partway just popping into the population
I got dreams and ambitions, people that listen
Love the fans cause all I had was fiends and a kitchen
I'm in Dior, guess I'm preaching in Christian
My pockets deep but my genes full of riches
Yeah
The sentence of a king, I got people who depend on me, the penance of a king
My teacher mentioned credit, never said it was a thing
Why you think the mortgage lender isn't lending her a thing
Yeah
From a real estate to real estates
Made sure I ate with all my niggas before the dinner dates
Yeah
I had so much on my plate, now I'm eating like a king, had to work like a slave
Imagine if we never imagined this
Imagine if our imaginations couldn't fathom it
Imagine if the butterfly effect was a caterpillar in the Garden of Eden by the tree where the apple is
I'm way too talented
To still be in the sticks where there's javelins
I'm Olympic, on mount Olympus's peak
At the top it's only us, I'm with my G's
But I ain't gotta be high, there's higher powers than me
It's A V
I fell asleep and spoke to MJ
And he told me to heal the world, make it a better place
Nuff red jackets in my ends, it's the end days
Why you think I'm rolling with trendsetters that set pace?
Grew up in a race
Where the races are places where they wanna replace us, I'm patient but then I'm impatient, God's grace has been ever so gracious
Something to say but I'm the savior cause I'm in the Matrix, and alien cause I'm in a spaceship, I saw my niggas on slave ships
I remember telling Whitney, "You're my queen"
I was selling Bobby New Edition on my street
Friends were taking pictures taking, taking pictures of me team
When saw the bigger picture than the picture of my dreams
It was nightmares where we lost [?]
Had the nigga feeling outta place at his home address
I'm the first nigga with insomnia who overslept
I paid 70 in taxes, it don't match what I owe to them
Man, it's crazy

[Dave:]
Lately I see a lot of men tryna play me
I ain't an escort but it's fuck you, pay me
Deja vu every time that I get a break, G, I used to visualize my reality in a daydream
Dream to be happy, are you happy with a dream team?
Full of happy niggas, are you happy with your team?
How many men are talented and ended up on the street?
You've been to act on it, now he looks unhappy with the scene
Seen, I mean Happy Halloween
Me and the team branched out from selling leaves
If my life was a film, the title on it's release would have to be, "Just Read This One Incredible Scene"
I ain't had a break since the peddle bike in my teens, so I wouldn't lose sleep if you couldn't sell me a dream
I'm tighter than guys, it's all lies that they're feeding
The seeds of the seed grew the tree in the trees and no reason for the way that you living, make a decision
I hate mediocrity, last dream I had I saw Socrates and he told me to believe in my philosophy
I just do numbers, I ain't waiting on the lottery
I'm the best on the scene
The only thing that follows in your mentioning me
Man invested in a girl interested but she ain't invested if she don't stay interested in your dreams
Do your best for your queen, I invest for the queen
There's a big fucking difference
When I was 18 I was six-figure nigga trigger happy, I'ma killer
For dinners we ate livers and corn beef
I work in silence, my touch Midas, yes
Color isn't real but don't let 'em divide us
We're all blacks tryna run our own race in our own way feeling pressure from our own race
Struggling to relate
In a black man's eyes, I see pride, see pain
