[Skylar Grey]. When they say my time is up and. I am just collecting dust. Don't turn on me. Don't turn on me. And when they claim that I'm washed up. Or when my guns begin to rust. I'm warning you. Don't turn on me. December 9 '97 I told Jay I'm gonna blow. Failing's not an option. My son's turning twenty one years old. I wrote a verse about the night. I just spent in Central bookings. Cause my grandpa coffee pot had cocaine cookie. Fast forward my grind 9-8-99 more eigths more O's. Broken in nickels and dimes. I told niggers I'd make it they was doubting me then. Picture me zonin' on the park bench pushin' my pit. Who needs enemies my friends keep shootin' my friends. They takin' hits now they'll blow your brains out for a biz. Call me a dreamer cause I could see myself on top. Word to Sabrina I'm gettin' my ass off this block. [Skylar Gre]. When they say my time is up and. I am just collecting dust. Don't turn on me. Don't turn on me. And when they claim that I'm washed up. Or when my guns begin to rust. I'm warning you. Don't turn on me. Don't turn on me. No no no no don't don't don't. No no no no don't don't don't. Don't turn on me. I'm warning you. (No no no no don't don't don't). Don't turn on me. Ain't it funny how them niggers that came over. want to pop on me. Product of the slum I guess its misery loves company. Told mama when I be something to believe in. They was more concerned who was rollin' up the weed did. Jay & Jay didn't work neither did Columbia. Got shot got dropped one helluva summer huh?. One year recovery feel like a bag of broken bones. Bill collectors come around. that's when you know you're on your own. Strap the vest cock the chrome they countin' me out. I'mma show em. I fought my way out of mother fuckin' corners before. I'm better under pressure I'm built for it. Been the under dog all my life I'm still here boy. [Skylar Grey]. When they say my time is up and. I am just collecting dust. Don't turn on me. Don't turn on me. And when they claim that I'm washed up. Or when my guns begin to rust. I'm warning you. Don't turn on me. Don't turn on me. EM and DRE gave me a shot and I ran with it. Homie in the cell saying "damn my man did it". "Get Rich Or Die Trying" made it to the top. I'm fighting off my competition trying not to drop. It seems like no one seen him fuckin' with the key. All they see was me tryna take off their fuckin' head. They don't see the slap all they hear is the shot. As soon as somebody hit. I'm sure they'll run to the cops. I'm not a bully of the East. if I don't start no beef. I meet aggression with aggression. I learned that on the streets. I see em fronting on they blogs sayin' I'm done. Like I ain't got that flow they know be number one. [Skylar Grey]. When they say my time is up and. I am just collecting dust. Don't turn on me. Don't turn on me. And when they claim that I'm washed up. Or when my guns begin to rust. I'm warning you. Don't turn on me. Don't turn on me
