In the winter December of 89 I picked up my pen Started makin my rhymes I appreciate the listener for takin the time Cuz Im pourin out my soul with every lyric and line An I remember what its like to be the focus of a punchline Now the phone rings when the partys at crunch time I was humble but you took it for weakness Listen close and take notes While the professor teaches Maintain my footin No shiftin sand It aint quicksand Cuz above ground I still stand Move from the shadow On the way to the Big Man Strive for connection Without complexion Changin the game in a new direction Keepin youre attention While Im mic flexin Band on Grand Ole Opry You cant stop me CHORUS So take youre best shot now Cuz Im climbin so high Youll run out of ammo Before you touch the sky You think youre the first one To try an bring me down Buddy you dont realize How long Ive been around Take youre best shot now I never lived in the hood But I used to work there Say man aint you work in that shoe store? Yeah, I used to clerk there Rollin through Dallas Now they go berserk there See the corner of my mouth yeah Its called a smirk there.oh Twinkle Twinkle Nashville Star Is that you with the 20s on youre car Is that you on my t.v. screen With the Musik Mafia on youre team? Ive been strugglin and strainin Through misery and pain Tryin to get the radio djs to say my name People used to laugh when I dressed like an offical Now Im eattin steaks stead of chewin on the gristle Ive had breakfast in Hamburg, dinner in London Both in the same day and man it leaves you wonderin I hit the restaurants, now they play me close They get their cameras when I butter my toast You might also likeCHORUS So take youre best shot now Cuz Im climbin so high Youll run out of ammo Before you touch the sky You think youre the first one To try an bring me down Buddy you dont realize How long Ive been around Take youre best shot now You might see me on the television here or there But when you come to the show you see them hands in the air And when I ask Are you with me? you hear the reply The fans say Aw yeah, til the day that we die.
