"Who They Tryina Be"

[Intro: Johnny Venus]
Yeah, uh, uh, uh, uh
Ad libs and shit

[Verse 1: Johnny Venus]
All my heroes were born before King died
While you waitin' on Lauryn, I'm headin' toward Zion
Draped in something that n*ggas just can't afford
See I got this from the Lord, check the tags, it's imported
Stole the keys to my future, hit the gas, then I floored it
That model had an ass, like three, I ordered four of them
Now I'm the foreigner, smilin' and pourin' up
Head of State walk past me, like "why he over here?"

[Chorus: Johnny Venus]
We hit the club and stimulate the economy
Baby I'm who they tryina be, I'm who they tryina be
We hit the club and stimulate the economy
Baby I'm who they tryina be, I'm who they tryina be

[Verse 2: Doctur Dot]
Still mad, still men, still bad
Still bend steel bars in the cage I'm in
Sick of love, Sycamore trees the ornament on it is me
Strange fruit is the hardest to eat
Yet we see the juice drip from the lips of police
Mama prayin' hard, finger grip won't release
Sea to shining sea, still too dark for me
But Ima kill it when I feel it n*gga

[Verse 3: Johnny Venus]
Now watch me shine like I grew up in a diamond mine
I'm from the city where the people runnin' out of time
From the hoods where the n*ggas runnin' out of crime
Your girl call me when her [?] is running out of pine
No-no-now, ain't that tragic? Ain't it black?
Smashed her off the yac, now she callin' back
Showed out at their shows, n*ggas hated that
Fuck nervous, there's still some places I can't get no service

[Verse 4: Doctur Dot]
These pigs ain't scared of the wolf soldiers
We huff and puff, and then we get pulled over
It seems like the roles been reversed, the gold switched with dirt
You can't tell the worth
You can't tell me, I ain't develop to a hell of a elephant killer
Got n*ggas tellin' bitches I grew up with them
But I didn't, n*gga mind your business
But if it gets you started, then I hope it gets you finished

[Verse 5: Doctur Dot]
It's the gospel of the Doctor
Possibly impossible to polish off the product 'fore the officer acquire it
All the men aspire to be fire-spittin' dragons
Empire is in dire need of proper n*gga politics
Father name is Parker Peter Piper in the diaper
'Cause he always drop the hottest shit
Styles that you can borrow on some let me hold a dollar shit
Revelation pauper shit
Start a riot, throw up, I don't throw up, I don't throw up

[Verse 6: Johnny Venus]
Okay, now ain't it wild how the only child all in denial
And ain't it foul how the labels got him callin' for miles
I remember mama said we had to move out the house
And that's the way of life, shit ain't right, but you gotta live it
See I blew up through that class system
My glass slipper was my stomach remindin' me
Let my fast feed the grindin'
My past legendary, check the highlights, go rewind it
And I shit on every beat, so you n*ggas is reminded
