Текст песни Flashback of a Feeling - Greatness

I used to drink a lot
I still do but I used to, too
Didn't like what I saw so I switched the view
On a first name basis with the staff at the Hampton Inn
They don't trip 'cause I tip and I pay for the damages
The room smell like cannabis, the car smell like cigarettes
Quoth the raven, never more and it's never less
Gave you 7 in 5, that was just sleight of hand
Subtle flex just to remind you who the hell I am
L to the... the second comin' of Staley
With an axe to grind, I'm out here grindin' on the daily
Been quiet for a minute but the clarity I gained
Helped me realize that I'm a real rarity in this game
I don't dress like Prano and I don't smile like Latrell
I'm just the guy that pulls up and raises hell
Uninvited but here I am the center of attention
Undecided if your name is worth a mention
That just goes to show I could turn water into wine
I could make Jay Simms sound like he could really rhyme
And I'm a man of my word, kill me if I'm lyin'
But I've been gone like 7 years and ain't nobody took my shine
I got the Midas touch
I guess that's the easiest explanation
It seems like I'm seein' life through a different inebriation
It's like I had a flashback of an old feeling
Just me alone in a room with no ceiling
They talk about greatest of all time
And they either say it's Greatness or Greatness in '09
D, P, and O up front like my o-line
I'm 'bout to DP the game, I'm fuckin' from both sides
I can't help myself, I want it all to myself
My shorty top flight and her pussy top shelf
I texted Ami somethin' dirty just to let her know
Told her ain't a single place my tongue wouldn't go
They say I'm wildin', I'm out here puttin' on a show
Bruce Leroy flow, I really got the glow
The swag went from sterling silver to Sterling Archer
Got it on my own, that's when these funny niggas popped up
Hard to see the haters even when they right in front of you
Get fly like Aladdin, they'll pull the rug out from under you
We out grew our bond
Thought it'd get stronger
But bein' in this pond got me feelin' like a fish out of water
Had to set up shop, no brick and mortar
And I took my shot like game 6 Jordan in the fourth quarter
They ain't think I was the wave 'til I walked on water
Now they all just feel lucky to take my order
In these places that never served me but now it's lovely
I go anywhere and get a table like D-Von Dudley
Pretty women text back quick, rappers try to sub me
If I can't see the jab comin' just tell Mick to cut me
Like Trill and Mick, I'm talkin' ballin' on another level
I know one day no one gon' want me like Carmelo
So I make the most of my time
Holy Ghost in my rhymes
Took shorty off the bench but she still ridin' my pine
She say she hate that she love me and I can't blame her
She fall to pieces when I pull out like we playin' Jenga
She actin' out of anger but that's just par for the course
So I'ma live this life without one drop of remorse
Consequences always find their targets
Found out who I really was when I was out of options
In my darkest hour, lookin' to the man above
Like can you help me find my way? I think I might've lost it
Tight rope walkin' on the razor's edge
Paid my dues, now it's time for you to pay your debts
Cross my heart and hope I die with no regrets
'Cause I won't forgive and I don't forget
