Prepare for the Worst

You gotta, hope for the best, prepare for the worst It's never over 'til you're rollin' all alone inside that hearse And there's, one life, one death, one path that's yours So run fast, full blast, kick back them doors I know sometimes your mental state will try to misguide you Mislead you into thinkin' that you've got the devil right beside you Perhaps you're thinking you're sinkin' And slowly slippin' by misguided intuition Which is one more part of inhibitions(?) You've got to be yourself no matter what the cost And if others don't like it Tell those player haters just to (fuck off!) Don't waste your time on pettiness or petty people See they wanna spread evil to make up for the fact that ____ people You've got to rise above 'em; take them with a grain of salt Never subscribe to negativity, Homie assume the force And imitation is the greatest form of flattery That's how I've been rappin' for 10 years; And kept my sanity! Them people are afraid of things that they don't understand So never take it personal, just try to be the bigger man I hope you find some inspiration from this song That you can take away from, maybe you can break free from these limitations It's all inside your head, and if you think about it When you know that you're the shit There ain't nothing no one can say about it Keep that ego to a minimal, try to stay respectful Not cynical, This is critical, stay original There's no respect for an imitation, carbon copy And never take for granted friends or family, man, or become sloppy These are the words to live by, when you're an artist And maybe one day you will understand it, when you're the hardest emcee
